2 Suggestions - Mass Reclaim and keyboard shortcuts

Postby B!tterteea » 18 Apr 2014, 13:57

First iam a totally noob in this game but iam also fascinated in this great piece of RTS.
(Excuse me, when something seems not right with my choice of words. English isnt, unfortunately, my first language, so i try to make clear statements)

There are only 2 things at the moment that iam missing

1. Is there any possibility to give away units or ressources just with one klick to specific player.

2. I wonder why a technical unit or S/ACU do not reclaim only mass from a wreckages as much as needed. For example by experimental wrecks would be nice the unit stop and start again when the storage will get empty again.

Most of the time it's nice to reclaim an experimental wreck for the mass, but you also want to make sure no opponent gets the mass.

i heared lazyshare UI mod helps with sharing units and resourses, never tryed it, koecher and voodoo know about that mod

btw, if you make unit stop reclaim when storage is full, then how you play seton's mid for example, or many other maps where players overflow mass...

I thought lazyshare was broken since the inclusion of gaz/hotbuild? Something to double check on. If not, dont mind me

The sharing upon death is redundant, but as far as I know there's nothing that would explicitly change the issuance of share unit commands to break easyshare.

^No, you can give your units to an ally of your choice and/or give everything when your ACU pops. Why is that important? Free mass bump till everything explodes.

IDR if you can give your shift to ally Y when ally X is the highest scoring ally -and have all the stuff say under ally Y control forever (under full share)- but the point is the same. You can give a mass/energy bump for free to whomever or at the very least, give it sooner.

On a minor note, that's an extra 30 seconds for production to resume on everything, engies to start building, upgrades to start... extra time is extra time. :P

And lazyshare modifies similar values that GAZ/hotbuild does. I remember poking around the code and GAZ or hot does have a easy donate function somewhere that I can't get to work. But because it does mod said functions, when lazyshare tries to do the same thing... issues.

So no, they don't work together last time I checked. Assuming they never added compatibility, they still don't work. Coulda changed, but I can say there is something that explicitly changed the issuance of share unit commands.

I'd check, but busy. :(
