Event TimelineComment Actions Isn't such a feature typically implemented with a command line argument and separate desktop shortcut? (Not endorsing that implementation or the feature itself) Comment Actions Yes. Just thought about have it more into gui, as the code makes it realy easy to implement. For an easier on-switching and saving into options settings, it might be really helpful. Especialy, if focus is on lobby anyway, as online player usual are always in the lobby. If more buttons come to lobby D1055, then it's even more nice, as to focus to the lobby. Comment Actions Also wanted hotkeys for the menus once upon a time. But you are right that the patch is useful to fan(atic)s of the game. Comment Actions mainmenu hotkey like tab/shift+tab and / or arrow keys up/down for switching to next/previous button and right/left for opening closing/go into under menu and enter pressing button?XD Comment Actions I love this, once new buttons get to lobby (should there be a button for mod selection and join by ip? :) ). Comment Actions But we have the lobby and confirm hotkey now (D817), no more need for the mouse interaction. A better implementation would be a command line option and for windows users a "0 A.D. (Multiplayer Lobby)" shortcut on the desktop. Having this as a config option means that lobby players who want to see replays, options, structure tree or anything else first have to enter the lobby and then leave the lobby. Comment Actions I don't really like the auto-connect. Besides we have the hotkey, so players don't even have to use the mouse to connect. Comment Actions but desktop/option would be uneasy to change quick for normal power user. Why not having this little option in options? |
