[FIXED 518] Range circles in 517

Post by thewood1 »

I noticed that with a group selected and range circles set to unit only, nothing shows. I select show all, then the range circles only show up for the group.

I don't remember already how it used to work.

Also noticed it doesn't remember any settings. If turn off air sensors, then change a setting to show all unit ranges, it writes over the individual sensor settings. It might be WAD, but should be noted.

Yeah, right now it makes it difficult to play larger scenarios in group mode. I can't see weapon ranges unless I select a group.

We're getting spun around a lot on this one. I hope you realize that.

I have some gee wiz ideas to add to this, if they don't help, please discard them.

For range circles I would love:

these options
Merged, but show selected units
show all
Show individuals not in groups all, but merge groups, and show selected.
and
show just selected.

it would be great to be able to toggle through these with a simple keyboard shortcut.



I would also love a way to project firing arcs, and a draw things on the map(reference shapes?).

Edited...

The point I was likely making poorly was we're having a hard time finding a consensus on what players want on them.

Yep, always fun....I for one am fine with how they currently work (at least the couple of games I've played 517)

It is not that. Its just not doing what its saying it is supposed to do. Look at my original email. I set range circles to all. I select a group. Only its range circles are showing. I turn on circles for selected unit only. I select any group and no circles show.

Don't dismiss it unless it is the it is supposed to work. If it is WAD, the labels on the menu are wrong. Either way, something is wrong.

I guess I don't understand why the "show all" option doesn't show all. Right now, "show selected" and "none" are the same thing.

If you switch air sensors off, "show range symbols" autoswitches back to "none". Still remaining circles get displayed until unchecked one by one (everything was checked at the beginning). underwater weapons doesnt react to checking at all. Cirlces get back by switching back "show range symbols" to all or selected only. Single checking doesnt work before.

It appears that the "ALL" setting still does not set all range circles to work in Groups. Is that how it is designed? If it is, then there is no difference between "ALL" and "selected".

I just want to make sure I understand how it works.

Can you please specify which build you are referring to. Is this in B517 or B519?
