A fast .74b2?

No you must use to wheel buton click...
But that IMO screwed the gameplay (at least for me).

Could the Devs please, add an option on the mini map icon to toggle on/off the news fonctions on it, or at least in the config program to let the user choose wich buton he want to use for for this (left click, wheel click or right click to go where you want to the map).

I mean, please let the user decide how he prefere to deal with his interface... This way I simply cannot use it effectively

Make it user friendly please.

The problem is just that no one bothers to update settings.exe

TRUTHS

Also someone should make some nice lua interfaces and include it with spring! or make a few different ones availble trough settings.exe

Post by **trepan** » 29 Nov 2006, 12:45

Like this?

P.S. That was not my doing, I can't compile the windows settings.exe.

Tobi · Post by **Tobi** » 29 Nov 2006, 12:50

Ah ok, that's one of the few options that did make it to settings.exe then

Dear Devs, listen to me.

Do not change settings when you make new version, like that middle mouse button feature >__< many people think you removed the feature >__> Now i need to explain to everyone how you can get the old button working again...

In next version put the setting as it has always been...

Post by **jcnossen** » 30 Nov 2006, 13:13

I'm to blame here:)
Changing it is better I think, it will make people aware of the new feature and they will investigate if they really want to change it back. The other option would be to disable the new stuff by default, and then maybe 10% of the people would actually use the new feature.

TradeMark · Post by **TradeMark** » 30 Nov 2006, 14:03

It's not user-friendly to change default buttons... Really annoying to ponder what the hell is going on when some buttons doesnt work anymore... And then waste 10 mins to find out where to change it...

When you make new release, at least list all the changed buttons, and explain how to change them back to old style.

bamb · Post by **bamb** » 30 Nov 2006, 15:22

You can change to definitely better defaults (minimap orders has been asked since spring version 0?), but just give a menu option to have old behaviour.
This is where firefox 2.0 made a huge mistake too, it required going to some blogs and fiddling with the config file to get back old behavior! (Like no stupid close buttons on tabs, tab width settings, etc etc.) Why on earth couldn't they put that in the menu???!

Ok, i now see the new .74 changelog stuff.

However, i do not see any mention to EdgeEffectivness or Mass added to features and i really need to know if this new code is using EdgeEffectivness or EdgeEffectiveness .. and Mass in features as well, even though that i ├é┬½could├é┬╗ find out by myself testing in game.
