[OPEN]A short suggestion

[Ilidur]

Besides the well-known alliance problem i would suggest  when double clicking a selected unit to select all units of that kind on screen. It's one of RTS's way to lend a hand when crowd-controlling.


LE: Played a little more and these are the thing I got:
- When conquering an outpost you should reset the waypoint for production... I once had a load of tanks comming in my base just because one of my outposts got captured and the guy forgot to reset the waypoint.
- When group sellecting please add the deselect function   (i sometimes select wrong and have to start it over again)
- When cursor over minimap commands don't work   (try messaging or ally messaging someone when you forgot the cursor on the map)
- F4 (the stats) are not in the help menu (F1)   - i just bumped into this one by mistake.


I want to help in development but after the 2 of july, i have experience in game programming and 3d modeling. I wanted to first look at the code but i couldn't understand anything( you should really start commenting the code, especially if it's open source). Do you have some kind of documents where i can look and try to understand variables and the structure?

Thanks in advance

This run  after 8.2 version

Double clic = all same untis on screen
Triple clic = all units on screen

it's True.
F4 is for dev stat not for player  but see if you want.

Welcome,
Download and see svn version

As wile64 said, get svn version and try. If after reading the code you still fells like, then we talk.

Notes about the code:

• Is old
• Is shit
• Too many people modifed it
• Documentation was forbidden

• Documentation was forbidden

what!? how can you make a community programmed open-source game without proper documentation?  It's very bad practice.

I'm not sure you grasped the humor in Krom's words Ilidur...

Read the history, netpanzer was not always an open-source game :-)
