block sharing option

Post by blublub »

im kinda missing that option for some games

block sharing units to enemies
block sharing units to everybody
block sharing units and resources to everybody (even if you are getting more then your storage can hold it shoudl still not share just send them to the outter space to waist there !)

a tick option that woudl enable it and a choosing tab to pick one of the 3 mentioned above

im not sure but maybe its rather an mod option and not the engine ?
correct me if im wrong

sounds like it would need some engine support... I actually sorta like the idea because it would force each team member to pull their own weight or be eliminated, as it stands right now in a 4 on 4 one player could conceivably tech up to tier2 planes, one to tier2 kbots and one to tier2 vehicles while another focuses on basic infrastructure and defences, then after about 10 minutes of play each player can then share one tier1 and tier2 con of their focus around to each of the other 3 players and all be fully teched up on all fronts... while this might be good for truely representing teamwork it doesn't really let a player prove their specific ability and strategy... just a different game.

It's actually very easy to implement mod-side so engine-side doesn't make sense IMO.

Related gadgets are already included in springcontent:

P.S. They probably haven't been tested in a while.

BA: highly unlikely that there will be new features unless they are fixes of widgetry and compatibility.

CA: they probably have already implemented the feature and you dont even know it, plus they have 20 different skinnable guis for it with sound effects and lups.

XTA: Talk to noruas.

How about the opposite, an option to have all players share the same pool of resources. With sharing, that is partially already true. I am not sure if it has been done already, and how high a standard it is on the members to ask that they do not use too many resources.(Maybe some kind of voting to restrict it for some members.)

one thing that would be nice is moving the default sharing slider position for M to be the same as the one for E. so that ecowhorenub in the back is sharing his M without even knowing :D

He means to say link is borked by shortening

Or maybe not, I'm not sure, now. I clicked on it and it worked.

Share Control.lua is the one you want, blublub.
