New Minimap Controls
Hey... right-clicking on the Minimap isn't moving the camera around, in the builds I've been testing. Is a new bind setup required, or is this a bug? Otherwise the new GUI totally rocks... I only wish I had enough spare time to play with customizing it for NanoBlobs... maybe I'll get to that this month.
Release 0.74b1 has several modifications to the minimap, the most
notable being the ability to use it to send unit commands. There are
2 basic modes in which it can be configured:
3-Button / (full-proxy)
LEFT: select units (including selection box)
MIDDLE: center the view
RIGHT: perform default command
2-Button / (not full-proxy)
LEFT: select a single unit
MIDDLE: no function
RIGHT: center the view
The default is MiniMapFullProxy=1 (3-Button mode)
Here is a list of the new config parameters (with default settings):
Edit: Apparently the next release will be 0.74b1 (not 0.73b2)

Great. I really liked then I noticed that you could move the window by clicking on the minimap since in the last RTS I played (Age of empires 2) I couldnt do it because one of the buttons of the mouse I was using was broke and so I needed to play with a single button (irritating but possible) and that way I couldnt use the minimap to move the window around...
Thanks for the help, I didn't read carefully all the posts. I switched to the old style for now. (or now - with linux version I mean - I can hack the code and do it as I like.. . But of course I do not have time )
But anyhow I asked if I can I have something like this:
- left mouse - center view
- right mouse - issue an order.
@LordMatt Yes I understand for many people it's ok. it's just that a have a mouse that doesn't have a nice middle button.
