Spring RTS Engine

please don't make your maps so that when you build a mex it doesn't switch to metal view. I know the logic is we should be able to see the metal spots, but I don't think anyone actually likes it this way. Thanks.

If you can see clearly where the metal spots are, when they are marked to the texture, why should you use the auto-f4-function?

Secondin' this



I like the visual confirmation that i've clicked the mex button, as well as being able to see metal patches from as far zoomed out as I want.


Its also not uncommon to see features and metal patch textures looking similar, which makes it even worse.

Thirded. I make it switch to metal view on my maps for a reason.

I concur

It should be a user-preference thing, IMO. I like the auto-f4 view.

I like the auto F4 thing to, it should be a user option and not a map option.

Auto f4 is good, at least for me because I que up about 50 bajillion mexes at a time and with f4 on it clearly marks them.

hmm, it seems this is directed at me...

I got the message.

"Mental Note" Auto-F4 a must have, otherwise players out for blood.

Noize has been doing this too. Painted desert remake is a prime example.

Yeah the idea was that it would be more correct regarding the OTA versions however i realise now that it plays less efficiant.

Yeah it's especially a pain in the ass when you can barely see them in either veiw... *ahem*

Metal should be shiny or at least different enough from the surrounding texture that there's no question where it is.

I am not willing to screw up the Texture, just because i do mad Metall things again...
