Missing waypoint line without shift

[dansan]

Not posting this in a game subforum, because it seems game agnostic (same behavior at least in BA, TA, NOTA).

When I make a waypoint for a lab or queue some waypoints for a unit, I could always see it when the units/lab was just selected, now I have to hold shift for the line(s) to appear. How do I get the old behavior back?

If I interpret your question correctly, you need to set "alwaysDrawQueue" to "1" in cmdcolors.txt to make spring show command waypoints. If you use Zero-K Lobby you can set this by going to the settings tab, clicking "Adv. Settings", clicking "Edit cmdcolors", then setting "alwaysDrawQueue" to "1". The setting should be on line 34. If you dont use ZKL you can just change that line in a text editor.

Run spring directly and go to settings - you can change it there.

No that won't work here, cmdcolors.txt is a separate config file

YIPPIE - Thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for!

Feature request.

Seems like functionality that could be replaced with config vars, modoptions, lua functions and/or chat commands? Having a seperate, non-lua config file seems a little archaic these days, like FBI/COB files.

I personally feel the command colors should be something the game gets first preference on but the user can override; ie, with a mod option (default) and a chat command or config var that could be controlled by user settings and/or widgets (override).

I'm not sure what options the current system provides so I might be asking for something that's already partially implemented here.
