|
|
Hello everyone. I like having an opponent, but it becomes really annoying when you have to be pressing the "ok" for a computer controlled ship passing from suez or panama canal or Great barrier reef.
even for our own ships, is there are way to turn that off, and have a toggle if we want that message.
Also, on the route map, if we want to choose a different direction, it would be nice to use a simple way point system.
And a 3rd request, is it possible to create 3 new regions? Those would be Antarctica, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean.
What do you guys think? |

If you runs your monitor, in 1024x768 Pixel, or higher, I dont think you will never see these messages, they will be running in the left site, of the screen, like the other messages will do.
I hope you understand this, or else ask again.  _________________ Poc is a lifestyle  |

For the continents choice, I would rather propose Oceans as a sort criteria, not continents: North/south Pacific/Atlantic, Indian ocean, Caribic, Mediterrean
Would make it easier to play. |

fro the continent we need to add a new tag in the harbour description, which is not a problem at all. |

Thank you for your reply. I play my game in window mode, since that is more convenient. That way I am able to monitor other programs that are running in the background in the Taskbar

We have that Tag already, "<kontinent>Europe</kontinent>", i guess you are referring to the game engines Tag?

I am ok with any but then that might complicate it for example in Asia where you have many ports all over the area. So that would not be easy to "divide"  |

I think we need an extra tag, as kontinen does not show which ocean it belongs to,
the tag is harbour specific,
<ocean>Pacific Ocean</ocean>
for example, hope that one tag is sufficient for all harbors as I dont remember a town belonging to two at the same time of course the <kontinent> remains in addition to this. |

Now I understand what you mean
some examples would be:
<kontinent>Europe</kontinent> / <ocean>Atlantic Ocean</ocean>
<kontinent>Europe</kontinent> / <ocean>Black Sea</ocean>
<kontinent>Europe</kontinent> / <ocean>Mediterranean</ocean>
<kontinent>Afrika</kontinent> / <ocean>Mediterranean</ocean>
<kontinent>Afrika</kontinent> / <ocean>Indian Ocean</ocean>
<kontinent>Australia</kontinent> / <ocean>Indian Ocean</ocean>
<kontinent>Australia</kontinent> / <ocean>Pacific Ocean</ocean>
This sounds great
Just curious, when something is in the middle, how do we choose the continent? example would be, Diego Garcia, Port of France, Papeete, Alofi, Guam... So I just thought to ask, how those will be implemented. |

can you add ''West Coast, East Coast, Great Lakes/Seaway and Gulf'' as tags for north american cities? _________________ 2003:I've worked on MTU engines this summer; when I die i'll probably go to heaven, since i've been through hell already....
