Official KaM Remake Ideas topic

Hi!

Shortly.
Idea:
Recording the beacons. So we could see what was pinged in the game.

If somebody copy a link into the chat of the lobby, could that link transform an openable link

I've implemented text selecting from Memo's and Edit's (f.e. from chat/map description etc.), so you could easily copy/paste anything from there, including links. We discussed 'open extrenal links' feature and think it could be unsafe, or used not in a proper way. Copy-paste feature is good enought.

Recording the beacons. So we could see what was pinged in the game.

Sounds good for me.
Have just checked the code - all beacons are already recorded, so we block its visualisation when replaying the game. Probably it was done to avoid too many beacons while replaing, making replay looks better, 'cleaner'.

As a solution - we can add some checkbox to show them while replaing.

@Krom what do you think ?

What about a simple option in a menu or a key combination?

Key combination is possible, but AFAIK @Krom is not in favor of too many hotkeys. But for me its ok.

Simple option can be smth like that, fast sketch:

IMO there's no need to clutter the UI/hotkeys with that. Just record and always show the beacons would be fine.

I thought something like this alo. Enable/disable. So the sound is nice. Good to see who had the beacons in a battle etc... But sometime good if possible to disable because somebody just overused the beacon...etc.

[The Dark Lord]

Yes, beacon spam is a thing. Now imagine both teams doing it during a battle?
But who knows, maybe it's not that bad. It can be tested without button/keys and you can always decide later if it's necessary or not.

Simple option can be added to settings menu. Suggested by @Krom

Beacon feature was implemented and merged here

Would it please be possible to have Storehouses start with every ware blocked by default when first built?

Don't know about you, but the first thing I do whenever the game starts or I decide to build a new storehouse is to block the delivery of every ware except a select few...

I think it is already about playstyle of the players. Some players are leaving the storehouse opened for the whole game and blocking only 1-2 wares. I jsut disselect half of the wares at the start. So there are many ways. If it would start with your offers then the players who not using this function would be mad
Anyway it is scriptable too if i know well. I'm using this function at the townhall script where immediately blocking the wares into the house.
Personaly don't think it very important. BUT,
Maybe an additional button to disselect all wares could solve this problem and could help to you and that group of players who use to disselect wares. Almost as like the closed stroehouse button but it would change only all the wares state.
I think this would be fair;)

Yes, it would be a solution; but wouldn't it maybe be better to make it an "invert selection" button, so that if you click on it accidentally you can click again to revert the change?

Oh, another thing (can't remember if it was asked already): would it please be possible to add some sort of mark or icon to the mines' selection interface telling if the mine is exhausted or not?
I often decide to wait for exhausted mines to be emptied, then promptly forget which one was exhausted and should be destroyed...

That would be very handy!

1) Can you add information that the building is closed? Sometimes the building closes for economic reasons, and later it forgets about it and the production stands.

2) Is it possible to add a "stop building" button in buildings, so that the builders go to build another building?

3) Is it possible to do that when we demolish the building, we get half the material? It would be a helpful example when there is no material for the stonemason.

[The Dark Lord]

If you don't have enough stone for a stonemason, that can only be because of two things:
1. The creator of the map gave you too few resources (unlikely)
2. You play badly (likely)
