Hi all!
Austen and Allan, to be sure we're talking about the same extra
information. I am talking about this kind of message:
Lucy the good fire mage uses flaming weapon on Michelle the good warrior
being turned into this message for dev 3:
Lucy the good fire mage at 1 3 uses flaming weapon on Michelle the good
warrior at 1 2
And this message:
Lucy the good fire mage uses defend
being turned into:
Lucy the good fire mage at 1 3 uses defend
So the in game toggle would be controlling whether coordinates are
announced in those messages.
It would not change this message:
Lucy the good fire mage uses blaze at 3 3
Because I think the coordinates are important when targetting a tile
instead of a unit and this is how it's always worked.
Additionally it does not affect announcing coordinates when you move
your review cursor around the map.
Even without the toggle it could be taken out of any non AI initiated
actions since you are controlling the units and already know what is
happening.
I believe the person who requested it wanted to know the coordinates
when the AI was doing things since it's not always so obvious.
Another way to handle this sort of thing is for players to name all the
units and then coordinates are less important since the names are being
announced.
Anyway, I'm going to add it as a toggle so each player can choose for
themselves.
I've noted both Austen's and Allan's ideas for finding units, they are
good ones.
If anyone has played Time of Conflict and knows of good ideas that were
used there to help in finding and managing units on a large map I'd
appreciate hearing them.
Hadi, Allan's instructions are what I would have suggested.
Specifically when you put music=disturb.mp3 then the full name of the
music file must be disturb.mp3.
If you are using a wav file then the full name is disturb.wav instead.
Windows does not show the file extension by default. It is something
you have to turn on under tools then options in Windows Explorer.
Windows Explorer is not the same as Internet Explorer.
This could be the problem, or in rare cases there could be a problem
with frequency and bit rate and other such audio things I know very
little about.
But if Windows Media Player will play it then those things shouldn't be
a problem in the game and it's probably the file name being incorrect.
Greta, since the bug only happens when you are manually controlling the
units I expect it has something to do with the skills you are using
during your turn.
If you can narrow it down to what actions are causing it that would be
helpful as I currently can't reproduce it.
