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. Smile

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.

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 Wink

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

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

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 Very Happy
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 Smile

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.
