deanco Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 Hi all, My suggestion is for a "Toggle Display State" button. Let me explain. During the planning phase I like to have as much info as possible on the screen to aid my decision making. However, once my turn is finished, I prefer watching the movie with very little or no data to enhance the realistic aspect. (OK, OK, to get off on the graphics...lord knows they need a tiny bit of help!) So I find myself continually hitting shift-c, shift-p 3 times, shift...you get the picture, I hope. So my idea is for a "Save Display State 1" and "Save Display State 2" button which would save the current display config so you could toggle between them using a "Toggle Display State" button. It seems like it would be useful, but I'm not a hardcore wargamer, so I'm posting to see what everybody thinks about it. BTW, what a fantastic forum this is. I laugh, I am informed, I sympathize when I read the posts here. Now I feel like raving about how great CM is, but I'll save it for another post later, breakfast time...

KiwiJoe Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 Yep this would be great. Personally I have the same trouble but with tress. I like to switch them off while plotting my turn so I dont miss any1. Then I put them back on to watch the movie. Then I turn them off at the end of the movie to see all the units. Then I turn them back on to get an overall look before pushing done. Then I repeat the process for the next turn. Using the f1,f2,f3 keys to save an overall map view would be excellent.

deanco Posted July 17, 2000 Author Share Posted July 17, 2000 Oh yeah, while I'm on the subject, where is the 'Halt' keyboard command? Seems like everything has been hotkeyed except the 'oops, I screwed up AGAIN' button. Someone? DeanCo-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captitalistdoginchina Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 I would like a hotkey to save a screenshot! CDIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanco Posted July 17, 2000 Author Share Posted July 17, 2000 The hits just keep on comin'...how about a right-button click and hold to scroll the map? Currently the held right button draws a selection box like the left, so it's 'free for action'! And to top it off, steal the mouse scroll feature from Shogun. The top 2/3 of the sides of the screen is used to turn the viewpoint, and the bottom 1/3 'sidesteps' the view left and right. A brilliant feature, that, IMO.
