Was the option to give metal and crystal removed from 4.0?
« on: October 28, 2010, 05:00:07 pm »
Hiya everyone.  Was the context menu that allowed you to share resources removed?  X+right click now seems to put my ships in attack move instead of opening the context menu, and when looking over the controls, I couldn't find a way to get it open, if it even exists anymore.  If it doesn't, is there a way to share resources with another player?  If not, is it something that will be added back?  It was a very nice feature and hope to see it returned.

The context menu and the attack move command got reversed, so the context menu opens with ALT instead of X now..

Someone mentioned you also had to select harvesters for the option to give resources with the context menu.

I do believe that that part of the context menu hasn't yet been re-coded, though.  Those things that were "advanced functions" on the context menu (especially this one) will be coming back, but we ran out of time for 4.0.
Have ideas or bug reports for one of our games?  Mantis for Suggestions and Bug Reports. Thanks for helping to make our games better!

Ahh, good to know.  Alt+right click doesn't bring up said menu vaos, just so your aware.  Tried but no dice.   If it wasn't recoded, that would make the most sense.  When i do play again spikey, i'll try selecting the harvester and seeing if that works.
