For those of you who are too lazy to make your own copy of the widget. Besides, standardization is always better.

CommanderEnds widget. You'd just need to swap the "Game.commEnds"
parameter with "Game.limitDGun", and move the text.

Widgets are really, REALLY useful. E.g. in Gundam I use Autogroup to put my hero units on a hotkey so when they die and get rebuilt I know immediately because they show up in my group list which is another widget. When I need a con unit I just click on the icon at the bottom of the screen, if a factory idles it's shown there as well and I can give it new orders.

- Copy the widget, which is a *.lua file, into ...\Spring\LuaUI\Widgets\
- Run settings.exe, tick "Use LuaUI"
- Ingame, press F11 to select which widget to activate

Read the rules before readying up. If you didn't, hit i while in game. If you can't do that there is no good reason the host on the enemy team should help you any more. The rules are easily available to you. Of course, he should still help his own team.

The true question is : "why limit D-gun ?" ... i think its for hosts who never expand ...

No. That's really oversimplifying the uses of the D-gun.

DGun off is for noobs. No, I'm not joking.

The problem is that with unlimited dgun the commander is overpowered, while with limited dgun he is underpowered. How about a middle term weapon? :)

u can explose a com with 10 fast tank even if it isn't dgun limited ... the only think is to not be stupid and don't attac it grouped ... but lot of players forgot that during battle and u put dgun in the good direction ... dgun 3 time and 20 fast tanks are dead

As if scrolling back to your base, looking if there's any suitable units around, selecting them and adding them to a group is an important aspect of the gameplay. Or just pressing CTRL-Z with your group. Or hammering on CTRL-B until you find a builder of the type you want. In Earth 2160 the UI automatically shows idle builders and can autogroup stuff for you, Spring's interface is supposed to be the best there is.

Idlebuilder has been in every Age of Empires game, hasn't it?

Ishach · Post by **Ishach** » 23 May 2007, 14:50
