Notify player to take action when window in background Authored by ffffffff on Oct 13 2017, 4:30 PM.
Details
Notify the player that has his 0 a. d. window in background about the game start or game unpause, that he needs to take action (by raising the window in front). This could be now even more needable as we have stay ready button in gamesetup where we might go other window while wait to start game and we dont miss the start of the game. test

Event TimelineComment Actions I think, it's not good to force the focus. It can be really annoying if you're working atm, but someone is connecting/disconnecting/etc. So I suggest do not raise, but flash/blink: https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/136473/sdl2-taskbar-icon-notification-blinking-flashing-orange . It won't be so annoying IMO. Comment Actions ah jo this is done by the window manager normaly. in kde it blinks. but actualy i m not quite sure if does this in all environments like windows gnome ,etc. but i will test it. Comment Actions I think it can be useful when a multiplayer game starts after the countdown. Comment Actions Hopefuly windows dependcode (not sure #ifdef WXMSW is the right definition here, grabbed it from sourcecode, and on windows side window flash not tested, shall work https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/136473/sdl2-taskbar-icon-notification-blinking-flashing-orange) So as far as we tested this if blinking works (cause i think raising whole window is a bit to much, but even if it is it can be configured later in options if even wished to have it switch on though)
Comment Actions as right now im missed a game started because the 0ad window didnt signal me that a new buddy game was created :( Comment Actions This.
Comment Actions Ok i will go now for raising window when game action starts. So in single player mode when game starts and in multiplayer when all players are conntected and the game status goes to active and game starts. further i go for raise window when game was paused and player is not observer so active player and game action resumes now so unpause happens. u might want tot test that by minimize or unfocus window after you start a game from gamesetup in single player or multiplayer. the window should get raise after the game action starts.
