istari Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Having spent significant time with 1.10 over the past week, want to again compliment the Battlefront folks. 1.10 continues to be a terrific experience, with my best moments comparing with the best from CMx1. So here's my request to make the experience even better: I love playing WEGO for the cinematic experience (and tension) of watching playback and being able to rewind and watch key moments. While the floating icons, colored bases and other visual aids are good for planning, I'd love to have a "Cinematic View" option, where they would all disappear during playback. I usually end up toggling them off before playback, but it gets old doing this every turn. This would be a simple Y/N checkbox in the Game Options screen. It would apply only to WEGO playback, and would remove all artificial overlays/icons during playback. What do others think? Would this be a welcomed option?

istari Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Wow, no one else thinks this would be good idea? Seriously? It seems like a relatively simple enhancement as an option. C'mon, someone else out there must enjoy a "clean playback" as much as I do! :> Chris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

istari Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Thanks Smaragdadler. I'm not on a crusade here, but nice to know I'm not completely crazy. :> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Kyle72 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I like this idea for an option as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steiner14 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I'd prefer a keycommand to switch it on/off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkompetent Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Yeah. A simple key combination (Ctrl-U for UI or something) to hide everything, or one key combo to hide the UI, and one to hide icons would be enough in my eyes. That way it is easy to switch the UI on if you want to check something out for a unit while you watch the replay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Yep, I would like to see a simple switch for this, too, as we had it in CMx1 (ALT-Q to turn of all game aids, IIRC) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istari Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 If you want a simple keycommand to switch off everything, why not also have the cinematic view. All cinematic view involves is the program automatically toggling that CTRL-U (or whatever it is) before and after each playback. Heck, even I could write a script of that complexity!
