Spring RTS Engine

You will select group, give gesture build order, done..

Still doesnt work for custom formation. I used it to place cons all along front and give reclaim/repair commands.

Hint: you can use select keys to pick next idle con etc ..

Not if you have different type of cons.

That is planned.

Seriously? No "default command" on rclick? That's hardcore.

I admit, I hit "F" on almost every command.... I probably wouldn't mind it.

Too much quoted. The radial menu for commands is planned.

how about a poll. Lets start out:

Licho: 1 vote
Car: 0 votes

But not to replace default commands!
And its unrealistic now because buildmenu is gigantic and exceeds slots of even pie menu..

What changed your mind? Afair it should have been a second menu, not integrated all into 1 menu.

Yes second menu, but not pie one! And not replacing default commands..

Commands menu - small always visible menu with better sorting and small icons to represent state switches instead of gigantic buttons.

Also it does not make it any easier! Its still boxy box of boxes.

Most people wont notice even terraform commands..

Question: will the buildings ever be removed from the buildmenu and thus exclusively be available from the pie? If so, what happens to the specops plane?

It keeps its unique menu it already has.

Its already possible to hide buildings from spring buildmenu using crude menu.

CA spring install with our own setting files (also uikeys file).

Its still horribly ugly and its preferable if CA works as spring mod too..
Its worth to code simple command menu. Now it looks like some kiddie attempt of menu from 1980

took me 2 days to rewrite the control panel, and one day was just making the prettyness and the drag and drop. So main functionality takes just 1 day of dedicated programming. Considering there are cumulative years worth of code in the CA svn, this shouldnt be a big issue.

We need to improve double-click-fight, so that it doesnt register as a doubleclick if you move your mouse.

ATM when i am spamming APM to dodge, i get fight commands and my units turn around like idiots, so i turned double click fight off.

... CA has double-click fight? Yeah, that needs more UI feedback.

Major upgrade to gesture menu:
* fixed all known shift etc related bugs
* ALT no longer used
* uses binding - default bound to B key
* when open you can use keys to navigate it (W,A -> solar, W,W -> mex etc)
* uses right mouse button again (can be disabled for groups of workers in crude menu - under custom formations or just use M + left mouse to custom formate them)
* has config section to tweak sizes etc
