Spring RTS Engine

I say we still go other the populous way.

Press space to rotate 90* clockwise.

Very very simple, easy to say, not hard to remember.

Yes, but make all structure default to the last orientation that you set, so you don't have to keep rotating them.

Would 90 degree or 45 degree increments be better?

It would be nice to have 45 degree implements, but it would mean that you have to click 7 times to get it to face the direction just prior to the one you are on.

90 would be much easier to implement at this stage I'm guessing.

Pressing space easier than clicking and creating GUI clutter and confusing actions.. 90* is all you're getting untill pathfidnign changes.

You know Alantai, you don't come off very well at all when you try to sound authoritative.

Except that, as has already been stated, space is already assigned to something in the new GUI.

I think were still goin to be waiting awile for that new GUI to come out, Anyone know the progress of it ?

no one is programming on it.... NO ONE... so programmers out there come and help spring!

Sigh... can't believe something as important as GUI is still nonfunctional. I guess I can't complain though, they are doing a great job.

What needs to be done and where can it be found?

it can be found on the cvs i assume

More specific...

And what needs to be done?

me as coding noob don't know but prolly Torrasque knows, go bug him :D

There is not so much to do, but there is a lot of small bug and strange behavoir.

Some are caused by the input handler wich work in a strange way.

Some functionality have to be added, since there is some time that it have not been updated.

I can offer some help, or answer if you have more questions.
I will _not_ reinstall visual studio.

But he disapear really quickly, so take care of you, working on this newGui is really dangerous.

It was my impression that keys in the new GUI wherent hardcoded, and that we had the source to change them should we wish.

hmm I wasnt tryign to be authoritave I was just annoyed that I had come to the end of my allotted internet time and ahd to post quickly.
