Counter Values Editor

How do I get to this screen to adjust in game? Or is this only for the editor portion of TOAW?

thanks

Play-Player options

Before starting a game? For Play vs AI?

[Meyer1]

I think you can change the player options anytime you want.

OK, got it. Is there a hot key for this toggling? Can't find it in KeyboardCommands.txt

[Oberst_Klink]

It's 'M'.

Yes, the M key (thx Klink) also you can left-right click the correspondent button in the button panel to go back and forth through the different icon values.

Mine does not appear to work, IE the values do not correspond. I am basing this on the TOAW IV inter-phase. I followed along with the guide using the Soviet 41 scenario. I set the advanced counter values to the full amount but in the game when I cycle through the values they change on the unit counters, but the corresponding unit button does not cycle through in the sense that it will always state "defense" or "movement" values so that I do not know what values I am actually looking at. I guess I can go into the unit info but that take the counter value feature as negligible.

Should I post this in support as a bug?

Not sure I understand you. When you said "corresponding unit button" you mean the button on the "button panel"?
is working fine in my case, keep in mind that using the left click would cycle as using the M key, but using the right click would cycle in reverse.

[spinecruncher]

Yes but for me the numbers in the unit button are only showing the attack defense values and movement values they are not showing anything else.

[Meyer1]

You mean the unit panel? This only is going to change the numbers that you see on the counters, that's all it does.

[Meyer1]

OK, i think I got it now. When putting the cursor over that button on the button panel, the info pop-up only show two possible messages as if this new feature doesn't exist. Well, dunno if bug or "feature" but is like that on my game too.
I set the counters to show attack-defense/stack attack-defense/armor attack-defense/stack armor attack-defense/movement left/BTS. Easy to remember, but would be nice if the pop-up would remind us what values we are seeing.

[spinecruncher]

right, and in the advanced settings I had all six values set before start of game, to include for example engineering and rail repair, time stamp, movement allowance, and a few others. So what I am saying is simple: as I click through on the unit button on the right, 4th down, 4th right, the unit counters change as they should, but the text description on the unit button 4th down, 4th right does not change to correspond to what the counters are. For example it starts off showing "unit numbers currently showing attack and defense." I click one more time and all the unit counters go to 0. I presume this is the time stamp bc its the beginning of a turn. But the unit description button text remains "unit numbers currently showing attack and defense." So the counters are changing but how should I know what they are reflecting?

"This is an outrage!"

[spinecruncher]

okay so how should I know what the values are then?

I've logged this as a bug, thanks.

It's very cleverly hidden by the developers. You have to follow the yellow brick road:
