dont show end game form when playing alone?

Post by TradeMark »

could that end game statistics window/form be not shown when you start game alone? its just annoying (and stupid to even show it, since there was no game played) to move it every time i test something...

those would take much more time than moving the form by mouse. just remove the form, its that easy... if(playing alone) dont show form;

gosh.

I don't know, is five seconds of coding time worth one second of player time?

You have a few easy methods. It's alright to request an automatic method, but it is kind of insulting to ridicule the options PL gave you.

multiply that one second by 1000, its 16minutes wasted (lol) and what about the annoyance. just because its too hard to add one line of code. do you really want to make this game as unperfect/unlogical/annoying as possible. do you.

if i had the possibility to fix things, i wouldnt be here fighting about these stupid little things. omg.

Hell, bind endgraph to a key with uikeys.txt.

smart, but not good solution in the end. unless you want to press million keys before you start the game (if we fix every thing with such solution).

Use the commanders script. That's what the rest of us do :roll:

I do not mind this. Some players want to sandbox. LET THEM.

agreed. but thats not a reason to be an ass.

id like to see it as a toggleable option, in the settings, to make it so i can choose to never have it displayed (or at the end of every game)

it should not be disaplayed if there were not any battle, why would you want to see empty/bugged stats with full of MAX_INT etc

I am not sure how you think Spring is supposed to tell the difference. i suppose a conditional could do it, if the game ends on frame0 then dont display the endgraph window.

I am pretty sure the game can check if there is no players present, if there are not at start have it add the testglobalai(emptyai) and be done with it.

Gaiaplayer is there without the player having to specify it's existence.

He wasnt an Ass..The asses are those that suggest all kinds of obvious and rediculeous solutions instead of saying,"yeah this is a nice tweak to make the game more comfterble".
Thats how you polish games,by removing small annoyances that are unnessesary.
I see this all the time here..people jsut like ot make reducelous and obvious suggestions comment that somehow fix the problem with some half assed hack..
