add range circles

Post by zany »

we need a option to add shaded range circles so you can see the range limit of weapons like supreme commander 2 does.

look under the development tab at the top of the page on the right hand side. a bit of judicious reading will give whatever your seeking ( warzone 2100 wise that is.) :lecture: or don't. seems no one wants to read these days, just instant gratification.... :annoyed:

lav, while there is a complete overview of keyboard shortcuts available there, this is indeed rather obscure in the bug tracker. When looking for a game manual, people are much more likely to turn to the guide. zany actually has a point. The Keyboard shortcuts page, which is much more appropriate for the given situation, does not list many existign shortcuts. So it's not him who has missed something obvious...
One more sad example of how a tight-knit group can become unwelcoming to newcomers without malicious intend for the sole reason of taking inside knowledge for self-evident.

well, all i can say to that is, i did a manual up for the original game. still have it. i did upload to the site here, but apparently no one wanted to do any work completing / or / bringing it up to date. so, there ya have it. some one needs to redo the manual. seeing as i advised whomever it was years ago that some stuff needed to be updated and i wasn't sure of what that was, i requested the devs to keep track and update as they went. guess what. it wasnt done. not pointing fingers. just a fyi. :annoyed:

Not to wax all nostalgic, but when I began playing this game, that set of docs really helped me get started. Some of it was no longer applicable, but even those parts provided some insight in to how to play. Just wanted to say thanks for your efforts.

is old. like me. as i have stated before, i requested updates from those making the changes. it was decided that there was to be a new format and the old docs were not needed. you can find the new docs, under the development header. so if your looking for something in particular, it may be in there.
