A request for an improvment

Post by Duie1 »

If it is posable and not to hard to do , I would really like to see the base names clickable under the intelegent report . This alone would make it a lot easier to set up production as youcould go from the list of the production to the base that youwanted to expand or change .

OR make a seperate production screen like you guys have with the active ships , ANYTHING to make it where I can get to where I need to change something w/o having to leave that screen

.txt files don't support links of any kind to my knowledge.
There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion.

unfortunately not. it would be real nice if we could click on the report that something is in hex 59, 89 and it would actually take us to that hex. it is a pain in the **** to try and find the hex!!!

That is what Bodhi's WITP Utility does, IIRC.

The developers have long ago turned down flat the idea of making locations or base names in the Signal Intelligence or Operations reports 'clickable'.

I would settle for a simple 'Go To' command that allows me to manually input where I want to center the map. Haven't seen any commentary on that when I proposed it in the old Wish List some months back.

A 'go to' as you desscribe it would be a nice feature, especially if it was usable inside of the various unit move functions (the way that control-A is useful to move around the map when issuing TF move orders).
