Discussion / Uniform way of moving around (geoscape - tactical)

« on: May 31, 2010, 10:30:11 pm »

I think that having the same mouse button to move/tumble around in tactical and geoscape is a good thing.
I personally prefer right mouse button (as in some 3D programs) as the middle one (the one in tactical maps) is usually the wheel and it is not so handy.

Another thing. Are the shortcuts (keys) editable or fixed?

Feature Requests / Alternative to FPV - LOS check line

« on: March 02, 2010, 12:17:48 am »

As FPV will be removed is it possibile to have in 2.4 the line from soldier to a target area slot of 3 different colors?
Like green = clear LOS, yellow = partial LOS, red = no LOD (something is blocking).
Something that can be activated with ctrl. We got 2 way of changing direction of sight of a soldier (left mouse and ctrl) so ctrl can be changed to that.

It may not be precise....just a fast way to check if a soldier has a LOS on a point.

I use FPV most of the times to have a feeling if the soldier has a clear LOS to a point (door, windows, corner, etc.) and without it I think we all end placing soldiers to watch a wall Yes I know, now is bugged but losing it it's a loss in game tactics.

Is it possibile? Opinion?

Feature Requests / FR: Tactical Mission "dump" :-)

« on: February 22, 2010, 12:06:40 am »

Hi, first plese let me thanks all the peaple that makes this game a reality!!
I've played all the X-COM titles and still have the game boxes somewhere around.
So you can understand how I felt when I've founded this project. ^^

FR:
As sometimes tactical mission require sometimes a lot of time and it's not always possibile to keep PC on or the game open.
Is it possibile to have a "save/dump" feature to save the state of the mission and continue after some times?

I've already readed the reason for no save during tactical mission and I'd like it.
My request isn't for a save feature.

It's because most of the times during a tactical mission there's always someone who need your help, and usually got a stupid reasons like making dinner, clean the house, bring down the dog, a cold bed....
