I find the source of this question utterly bewildering.

hehe, I'm still on 3600 minutes (4 stars) actually... developing doesn't mean you play actively

Post by **Tim Blokdijk** » 31 May 2006, 15:42

You mean actualy "play" Spring...

What a concept!

IceXuick · Post by **IceXuick** » 31 May 2006, 15:59

Im also only at 3 stripes.. If playtesting would give me exp., i prolly should have 15 stripes or so!

nevertheless.. here's the next version of the concept!

This time with a little help overlay for those who don't get the picture.

and yes, the "name" text should be brighter!, but besides that, let me know what you think (aint that big of a change compared to previous version, due to the lack of big complaints

)

Not counting the testing ofcourse, 3600 minutes of play using TASClient in actual multiplayer.

"Message from server: jouninkomiko's in-game time is 0 minutes.", so that might explain it

Jouninkomiko: what does your branch currently do?

I test stuff in single player (useing SprinSP) things to faster that way.

On topic. it looks wonderfull Ice.
On graphical stuff, I cannot think of something I would want more in a GUI.
(well, a cross for cruize missles\nukes\anti nukes on the minimap. Like in OTA)

I don't believe there are any. Thus the demand a few pages back to have every key bindable.

Zenka · Post by **Zenka** » 31 May 2006, 17:23

yey! X-es of doom!

Not only every command should be bindable. The buildings should be as well.

you should try putting the triangles upside down, I think they'd look nicer that way.

IceXuick · Post by **IceXuick** » 31 May 2006, 17:32

I think this is as far as i go for concept editing. Only if there are big changes wanted by you guys, then i could re-touche it.

I will now wait for Jouninkomiko to come with some news about cegui.

What's "Basic Building" for? Might that space be better used for a full GroupAI drop-down box?

i still need the decriptions of the units visible all the time -.-

Drool.

I'd really like to see this as the real GUI. Looks really good.

Capture was 'c' in OTA and I think reserect was 'e' in OTA.

That means that when ever I try to capture a unit I go into FPS mode.

SinbadEV · Post by **SinbadEV** » 31 May 2006, 19:34

it also meant that resurectors couldn't reclaim

Soulless1 · Post by **Soulless1** » 31 May 2006, 20:22

These two have probably been mentioned before but

-What about high traj?

-What would the 'basic building' button (is it a drop-down menu?) do?

IceXuick · Post by **IceXuick** » 31 May 2006, 21:21

High and low Traject!! how could i forget!!

the basic building thing is in fact a drop-downmenu that holds all the different AI's.

Should i make a new switch button, or put it next to specials?

Comp1337 · Post by **Comp1337** » 31 May 2006, 21:53

Specials. no question.

wizard8873 · Post by **wizard8873** » 31 May 2006, 22:35

"C" was for capture and "E" was for restore. although, if i remember, if you just move your mouse over a unit or building that was damaged, it went to restore automatically so there was no need for a hotkey. same went for resurrect. then again, its been a while since ive played TA
