custom mode questions - DerSatan - 2007-11-06
i like the new custom mode with its questioning sequence very much. nice done! but i find it a little confusing beeing a player in a game, where the host sets a custom game, because i have to read carefully what he is setting. i got 2 slightly different methods to improve that.
1) rephrase the questions
[ Starting Money]
3000
4000
5000
10000
30000
[Tank and Upgrade Levels]
1
10
20
[Tinker Mode]
Normal
No Tinker
Only Tinker
[Allow Trader?]
Yes
No
[Allow Exploder?]
Yes
No
[Disable Money- and Itemsharing?]
Yes
No
[Disable Conquest-Victory?]
Yes
No
[Enable Upgrades?]
Yes
No
[Disable Fog of War?]
Yes
No

as you can see, all normal settings are now green and custom settings are red. with both methods (which both may be slighty worse for the host to click through the boxes), the players will get a better overview of what i custom and what is normal. example:
Starting Gold has been set to 3000
Tinker Mode: No Tinker
Tank and Upgrade Levels have been set to 1
Trader has been enabled
Exploder has been disabled
Money- and Itemsharing has been enabled
Conquest-Victory has been disabled
Upgrades have been enabled
Fog of War has been enabled
i know, strange settings
, but i just wanted to point out what its like. normal settings: green, custom settings red.just had a game where things went strange until i found out that sharing was enabled, didnt notice the green enabled at that line :?
maybe not the most important thing, but very easy to implement/change/improve :wink:

i think thats no improvement... i like it better this way... only the order could be changed, but it isnt worth editing
Re: custom mode questions - DerSatan - 2007-11-07
then at least please show only the settings, which differ from the normal mode to all the players. (dont show trader is enabled, only show that line if hes disabled).
Re: custom mode questions - Bob666 - 2007-11-07
well, anyone else is of the same opinion? i am not, but if 90% want it that way, ok^^
Re: custom mode questions - TKF - 2007-11-07
Some hosts often clicks yes to everything, and the part with the fog makes the host regret his decisions cuz he click to fast...
Everytime I play custom mode, the fog mode is usually turned on :/
Otherwise I don't care.
