You should add the Command Insert and Z selector widgets. They are both the kind of widgets that are barely noticed because they become an extension of the interface.

layer = 5,
enabled = true
}

thanks

[Gota]

[Gota]

http://spring.jobjol.nl/show_file.php?id=1677

changes:

Miners can now resume building mines.
Removed com laser special dmg vs atlases.
Fighters gadget has been polished.
Music gagdet has been improved.
Fixed some errors in the assistance restriction that Allowed core t1 vehicle cons to assists unrestricted.
Fixed hover rocket range
Fixed hover AA range.

credits go to Lurker,GoogleFrog,KDR(for his original build restriction gadget),CarRepairer and Cake for all their effort and time spent on making this Version release possible.

[pintle]

Miners can now resume building mines.

Does this mean they can now assist and repair?

If not, why not?

[DavetheBrave]

I also want to know the answer to this question. If they can i may play SA more.

and why did my post get deleted? I was much more civil than I usually am around pintle. I hardly used any caps and didnt swear.

[Gota]

no,they cant.
I shell see what to do about this.A valid point.
With their current pricing it is a problem..

[Gota]

Supreme Annihilation U18.


Reduced fighter build times.
Reduced the metal output of mexes a bit.
Improved the Assist restriction gadget so it wont give out errors.
Added the Command insert and factory auto repeat widgets.
Upped The commander's HP and upped the damage it takes from dguns and the commander blast accordingly.
Trees will now get sucked in much faster.

Supreme Annihilation U21.

http://spring.jobjol.nl/show_file.php?id=1677

changes:

Slightly lowered Leveler DMG to air.
5% to lab costs.
All land scouts got their hp and speed lowered a bit and dmg dealt raised a bit.
Fixed lolui sometimes showing numbers after the decimal point in the tooltip.

[Gota]

For the next SA release,which will arrive sooner than expected due to the new spring release,I have decided to add some new models.
I will add the entire core t1 vehicle models and maybe some of the other models made by MR.D and cremuss.
From now on the official SA policy will be to update models as they are released instead of waiting for the entire model collection to be remade and only than adding them in.

In general I think TA remakes need to look dirt,rusty and beat down and of course they should be similar to the originals.

Another thing is that from the next version there will be a mod option that will allow players to use their own widgets.

[Gedanken]

Would you consider adding Z-Selector as a default widget? It has become pretty essential for me in regular gameplay and I know there are others who use it a lot too.

[Gota]

Thing is you can do exactly the same thing with the selection key editor.

[Google_Frog]

Thing is you can do exactly the same thing with the selection key editor.

How? Z selector doesn't select all units of a type when ctrl-Z is pressed. I think it acts as double clicking on a unit if Z is held when units are selected.

[Gota]

Yeah.I know.
I made a shortcut key in the selection key editor.
When i select a single unit and press the shortcut,all units of the same type seen on screen are selected.
It's like a double click but is easier for when your units are moving all the time.

Sea cons,hover cons,and amphib cons were given a small sonar range.
Light T2 pop ups were added back in.
T1 con ships can now build shore llts to balance the ability of land cons to build sea defenses.
T1 con ships can no longer build the offshore torpedo launchers.
T1 storage capacity lowered.
Amphibious cons were moved to the Sea lab.

[Gedanken]

Hooray new SA! :3

It's not the same - with this z is held and you can make box with mouse instead of having to zoom so that the units you want are on screen. It is far more accurate than the modded ctrl-z you mentioned (which I also use). It is particularly good for fast moving stuff and nanos. I would recommend trying it to see why people like it. Anyway did you PM Forb about new release?

[Gota]

I did and now you will be able to play with any widget you like.

[Gedanken]

What was the motivation behind moving amphibious cons to the sea lab?
