Oddball_E8 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I'd love to have a hotkey for saving the game... I often save during the action round and having to click the button right beneath the big red button scares the bejeezus out of me... Me not being all that steady on the hand any more, I might click that and end the turn instead Second on the list is an addition to the Icons toggle. Right now it's Show All Icons > Show only spotting icons > show no icons. I'd like to add another there: Show no fortification icons. When you have a large and extensive fortification network it's sometimes hard to see the troop icons in all the clutter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Good suggestions. Can I add a third: toggle casualty crosses And a fourth: toggle building transparency For when we make screen shots and or movies it would be nice to leave out the crosses and allow buildings to show normally. Just small, helpful stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 All very good suggestions in my opinion. And they go well with one of my own (previously mentioned) pet wishes, a customizable "Hide Play Aids" function: In CM1 we had a button called "Hide Play Aids" (if I remember correctly). With one click it toggled off unit bases, icons, hit texts and probably more. It would be nice to have something like this introduced into CM2 as well, though I´d like to take it a step further: Why not make a customizable "Hide Play Aids" function - ie one where you can add your own toggles. An example: When I am in the orders phase I like to have most play aids on, like for instance floating icons and objectives. I also have trees set to "Show Nearby Trunks Only" (brilliant and very useful invention, by the way). But in the replay phase - and when I record videos of course - I toggle all of these things of: No floating icons, no objectives or landmarks and Show Trees On. Thus, right now it takes me three or four clicks to change from my preferred view in the orders phase to my preferred view in the replay phase - and that get to be a bit of a hassle. If we had a customizable "Hide Play Aids" then I would be able to turn all these functions - including the user interface - on or off with just one click. And everybody else would be able to do the same - with their own pet functions. Hope you´re listening, BFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I agree with all of the above, but especially would like to see toggling building transparency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Me not being all that steady on the hand any more... DTs, huh? But I hear you and agree. That red button needs to be moved well away from anything else that you might want to click on. I have clicked on it two or three times by accident and that is two or three times too many. And I really do not understand why Command-S (or its PC equivalent) does not save the current game. That is such an industry standard.

emccabe Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 it would also help to have a slider for ajusting the game volume because at times it gets quite loud 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 In terms of pet wishes and toggles... - Toggle the new casualty display system on the UI. Very cluttered when the casualties mount up in squads. Difficult to easily distinguish who's dead and who's not on a quick and ready basis. Personally, was happy with the old system of simply disappearing silhouettes but yeah each to their own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Another call for "Show trunks at all ranges" as an additional step in the Show Trees cycle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerMike Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Good suggestions here! Minor things perhaps, but will really make life easier for the player! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 "Show trunks around all ID'ed (own&enemy) units" You retain the lay of the land but can still take a look at the units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting idea that hadn't occurred to me. +1. Although it might look a little funny with units on the move, I think I could live with that.

LukeFF Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 A toggle for showing vehicle hit text: Enemy Only, Friendly Only, All Vehicles, or Off. With the hit decals we now have, a visual text indicator is not as necessary now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball_E8 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Ok. So it's settled then. BFC, we want more options in general... as many as you can make 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squallion Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I'd simply like to have a little window that displays losses and when the losses occurred. If I miss the blinking unit icon, I don't realize that someone has died. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
