openRA minimap Team colour AND number

Post by dzine »

openRA in game lobby minimap design


PLAYER TEAM NUMBER (not just player colour) needs to be added to the minimap (mouse over for team number is inadeqaute, and thoroughly tedious)

ive lost count of the number of times we have had 'spot n team' issues because the PLAYER TEAM NUMBER isnt on the map

about 1 in 20 games have to be restarted simply because players accidently had the wrong team seleted


KEY POINT


While the team number is clearly displayed in the drop down menu, players eyes have to constantly dart back n forth all obver the place or do the ole 'mouse over cicle in a circle' round the mini map 2x over just to check and doublecheck again.....total pain



SOLUTION

A bigger mini map..(would be nice anyway ) with an OVAL instead of a circle. The oval being coloured, player colour, and having room for one letter and one number

( A 1 )


( F 2 )

It would be sooooooooo much easier setting up 4 player + team games if this was the case





Failed games saved , 1000s!

Mouse clicks saves millions !

Angst ridden HOST syndrome AKA Click n glance mouse n roll over, rinse repeat launch and pray would become a thing of the past
