Quiting game buttons

Post by TradeMark »

When i leave the game, and there comes "share your units to"

That button should have some confirmation "do you want to share your units to <player name>?"

This happened 2 times today, teammate shared his units to the first player on the list, because he just pressed "share your units to" and wasnt thinking that you need to select the player name from the list before pressing that button.
And he shared his units to enemy! And when i left the game too, i did the same thing :D not on purpose of course.

This is very annoying, it happens to me about 50% of the time a player leaves. People are doing on purpose to spite their team mates if they lose as well.

guess this reduces to only allow sharing to allies, like was suggested in another thread...

In the next release you can only give everything to one of your allies, if you still have allies left.
I know, I know, it should have already been like that in this release, but better late then never :).

Hit ";" (semicolon key) to toggle radar on LOS mode. They were split into two toggles, and now you can see each visual LOS more clearly when you want (good idea), but radar is not on by default (bad idea). This will be fixed in the next release.

if you are just too lazy, you can just bind both functions back to 'l'

Trademark, Colorblind has changed that setting back for the next version.

I know this topic has already been fixed, but small suggestion.
May the host get the same dialog when he presses shift-esc?
its 2 times already ive quitted accidentaly trying only to "give up".

No more sharing to the enemies!

Just so you know, the quit dialog will also appear for the host in the next version. (To be honest I myself accidentally exited a game once, hoping that the quit dialog would appear. It didn't :)

No. For fucks sake no. Add a switch or something, but dont change it back now that i got used to it.
EDIT: Assuming your talking about the camera zoom in.

Oh you mean you dont want to quit the game, but you want to share your units away? well you can do that with H button now, CTRL+A first.

Would be uber cool to quit the game being host, and someone else could take the host place and continue the game.
