About the author

Ralph Trickey maintains TOAW III
I set this Blog up for fun, and for my own edication! Nothing is guaranteed, it's for my own use primarily, so even if I say that something may happen with the next release, please understand that it may not. I plan to post random thoughts and other things like that at random times here. I don't have a specific plan for what will be here.

Feature Loss...

I had to kill a feature today. I had added code (I don't remember if it was 3.2, or 3.4) to allow for you to hold the <CTRL> key and use the ScrollWheel in order to switch to and from 3D view.

Microsoft decided that if using a touch screen, pinching would do a CTRL-ScrollWheel, so touch became less useful.

If anyone actually want's that feature, I can maybe add it in as Shift-ScrollWheel instead or something else.

Thems the breaks...personally, I will not miss that particular key-command.   Hate to lose any feature (unless it detracts from play) but this is pretty minor...IMHO that is Smile

Pbbbth, that sounds like a relatively pointless feature to me, to be honest.  I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

I agree it was pointless but I keep thinking that the 3D view is something that gives a novice player a much quicker view of the field than the NATO symbols.

From the screenshots I've seen, the new graphics mod is far more likely to be accessible to a new player as it looks like a more modern PC game and has a great feel to it aesthetically.
