trying to get some kind of testing done.

in the current build

Ok, first, mouse buttons 7/8 for building spacing are broken.

secondly please restore the old way of handling line move orders. The old method of drawing the line from the center out was better, the new method fails.

Actually after playing with both (and being taken by surprise when it changed), I can tell you that I don't like either.

Center-endpoint is better then endpoint1-endpoint2 because with center endpoint you do not have to release your mouse to turn the arrow around if it is pointing in the wrong direction. Also you have to drag your mouse only half as far :-)

Who changed it anyway?

I hope the line move behaviour will be user selectable, I like endpoint-to-endpoint.

I do like the new logos and icons though. Not sure when that was changed. I hate to be all negative, that part is at least nice.

Its quite simple.

- Draw a rounded box with a diagonal gradient from dark red to red
- Put something white on the box for your logo
- Give the white bit an red-orange outer glow

Edit::Theres also an svg version by imbaczek and some photoshop shapes by agorm for the spring logo

Code: Select all

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r4180 | trepan | 2007-08-13 01:50:00 -0300 (Mon, 13 Aug 2007) | 4 lines

* Added the ctrlpanel.txt "frontByEnds" option
  (let's you use the endpoints to define a front
   instead of the midpoint and one of the ends)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code: Select all

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r4181 | trepan | 2007-08-13 01:56:27 -0300 (Mon, 13 Aug 2007) | 4 lines

* Added the "frontByEnds" entry to both ctrlpanel.txt files,
  set it the true for the LuaUI version (as opposed to the
  default value of false in the normal version).

mb 4 and 5 work for me...
edit: both should be configured as 'generic button' in your mouse's software.
