Question about unreleased beta
« on: December 06, 2010, 06:50:34 pm »
I noticed this line,
* The WithSelection context is now only active in planet-view, never in galaxy-view. It now also overrides any conflicting PlanetView binds. These two changes should resolve some really confusing input-causing-multiple-unrelated-things-to-happen issues we've been seeing (including the K causing both low-power-mode and knowledge-display-filter thing).

Does this mean we can no longer give unit cross planet move orders in the galaxy view by right clicking on planet, or is that something different?

Just a quick concern, as I use the galaxy screen almost exclusively for cross-planet moves.

That will still work just fine, no worries!  I think most people use it that way.

This basically just puts it back more like in 3.189 and before, where the non-galaxy stuff wasn't bleeding into the galaxy controls as it lately has been. :)

Good to know.

BTW, OMG at the new changes. My friend was asking about getting AI war, but I told him to wait as the game was just far too unbalanced at the time, when you were like two beta versions past 4.0. (Yea, I know, not very good promoting, but I had to give my honest feedback). With these changes, it looks like it is getting close to being balanced again. Once it is, you've got a new customer :)

Awesome!  And, thanks! :)

(Honestly, I don't think it's bad promoting to recommend someone's first experience not be part of a beta -- I'd probably have done the same, if I were you, unless this friend was just going to immediately take to this like a dwarf to alcohol, if you know what I mean). ;)
