notifications!

good idea. Also notification to feed dog and really amazing would be a notification for boiling eggs.

Do u know about the feature to notify when last order is complete? eg: It pings you when you finish building the last pgen

[Axle]

Yeah I've just found the notification-after-command feature. That will fit my use case. Instead of pausing the engineers I'll send them on a 2min walk and attach a notification to the end of the walk. Thanks Annihilnine

Found something cool - maybe it can help you be fantastic.

let's see if that's how you imagined it


uploaded notifications v5.2 to the vault
don't forget about the server search button to find it

changes:
- improvements to config saving, should work a bit faster now
- hiding/showing the 3 buttons (drag, minimize, config) works right away now, without restarting the game
- should have fixed the broken smd/omni lost notification, and improved that one by a marker that shows where the unit was lost, and settings to enable/disable and set the timer for this. by default it stays for 20 sec




as always, report bugs
also feel free to suggest sounds for notifications, and other stuff (for example which other units besides smd/omni should be checked)

I think it'd be nice to customise which critical units are checked, maybe with a hotkey like the command notifications one, and whether or not it needs a big YOU LOST IT RIGHT HERE sign. I'd like to know where I lost a TMD in a lot of circumstances, but I might really not care if it's part of a firebase, or there's another three there for some other reason. Might also want to think about HQs (although it's hard to fail to notice that), maybe T2 Radar, T3 Sonar. The other obvious possibility is energy storage, perhaps the "storage is nice" notification could immediately start repeatedly pinging when you go back from having no storage.

I think it'd be nice to pinch some of the sounds from Total Annihilation, like unit attack and/or other notification noises from the chat, but that's just me.

literally using notify on every unit. On some - twice Makes BO so much easier. So thx again

Not sure if internet sarcasm...

How? Care to elaborate?

[justmakenewgame]

yeah that's what i thought. People are not using it. I wonder if people are even aware of that function

ie: i will start upgrading mex after i finish hydro. So i put a notification on engy that builds hydro and dont have to check it. After notif pops up i start mex upgrade. And in my build orders i use such notifications for every engy. Secially setons mid build. Good to know when Com is about to finish next reclaim order, when factory is finished, when hydro is done, when reclaiming engy is done reclaiming. when first units arive to mid point.

what about the opponent has a stealth tml base and try to kill smd and other important target without being detected, and while trying opponent to not notice the lose of important structure ? (or an cloack com/scu drop..)
i don't know, don't want to create polemic, but i feel like this ui mod can remove some interesting part of some strategy...

[justmakenewgame]

so what? SMD is destroyed right before nuke. And if someone cant notice radar loss... well...
