Can't find the idle builders widget.
I can't find the widget that sets builders to automatically help nearby builds. Is it still and the game, was it renamed or am I overlooking something? And another question can anyone tell me why the this forums search seems to sux soooo bad?

Re: Can't find the idle builders widget.
OK does anyone even know what I am talking about? I just reinstalled the new version after not playing for quite some time and there used to be an option to get your nanos to auto assist whatever was going on in their vacinity. As is with the default install, they are not doing anything unless told. By the way I am talking about BA in case that makes a difference.

Might have been called immobile builders but still can't find it.

try harder (iow scroll down the list)MajorMayhem wrote:Might have been called immobile builders but still can't find it.

widget list from standard install + a few customised widgets + BA 6.95.
Also use the Help & Bugs forum for help requests.

Re: Can't find the idle builders widget.
Ha, yeah thanks, I figured that out last night. I didn't realize you could scroll on that menu. Hey is there a way to get the spring lobby to play a sound on connection? I couldn't find the option in the new layout.
Re: Can't find the idle builders widget.
I didn't either until yesterday. I couldn't find some widgets I knew I'd just copied. I was in the process of hacking selector.lua when I noticed the sections that handled scrolling.MajorMayhem wrote:I didn't realize you could scroll on that menu.

Re: Can't find the idle builders widget.
What it needs is a scroll bar.
Re: Can't find the idle builders widget.
Even basic page up page down buttons or something would be better than what's there now - there is no visual indication of scrolling.
Really, considering how it is so central to the usage of the game, the Widget menu is kind of dismal. No offense to the guy who wrote it - obviously it was a "we need a widget menu NAO" kind of thing.
