Auto-Configuration

Fealty Lost Slaughterhouse: Bloody Remains Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Subscribers Posts: 1,258 Joined: Jan 6, 2009 I've been sacrificing bulls for the last month asking the dark gods for this after using an hour or so to refit/repair 10-15 vehicles and get rid of loot cars. Thanks for a fantastic addition Sam. Now... (it never ends) ......................... vet wv Posted May 20, 2009, 7:59 pm

Or give the camp owner the ability to enable or disable automatically sucking up camp resources. ......................... vet wv Posted May 20, 2009, 7:59 pm

*jimmylogan* MADHAT Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Marshals + Rule Council Posts: 5,587 Joined: Jun 11, 2008 I'm thinking for camps the "auto" should be off - but still have the option to do it with the button. I personally don't plan to use the AUTO because I don't want to wait a long time for engine and/or weapon repair in that event. I keep spares for those bad days.

Witty banter @ Marrkos aside, I'd prefer if the camp owner could enable or disable auto-fix for his camp, thus still allowing the feature for the camps who know they can afford the load. ......................... vet marshal wv Posted May 20, 2009, 8:51 pm Last edited May 20, 2009, 8:55 pm by *Ayjona*

*Ayjona* Edgerunners Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 515 Joined: Dec 6, 2006 Not quite sure how long this feature took you to implement, Sam, but I'm guessing it could well become one of the absolutely most successful ones, in terms of work versus popularity ratio (damn near regardless of how many months you spent at it ). The micromanaging bastard son in me might be crying out for all the lost clicks, but all other parts of me are overjoyed. Also shows that website improvements are more popular than I, at least, would have guessed. ......................... vet marshal wv Posted May 20, 2009, 9:01 pm Last edited May 20, 2009, 9:01 pm by *Ayjona*

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Yeah, I figured it would be popular, which it was worth the effort. A few hours, but not particularly fun ones The reason this is popular is of course partially because the web interface is quite unfriendly for doing tasks like fixing/reloading vehicles. The whole website is being overhauled soon BTW... design mockups in progress from BW Gunner.. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted May 20, 2009, 9:08 pm

Well, that's the part I skimmed over, and therefore didn't fully understand (and its relationship to the other options), in my gleeful reading of the original post.  ......................... vet wv community Posted May 20, 2009, 9:15 pm

It is good we've all found a place to gather together *sam* said: The whole website is being overhauled soon BTW... design mockups in progress from BW Gunner.. This, I wasn't expecting. Great news! I am very fond of the current design, but sometimes, I wonder if nostalgia is more to blame for that sentiment Regardless of which, improvements to webpage functionality should yield a direct profit in terms of gameplay ease. Looking forward to the design! ......................... vet marshal wv Posted May 20, 2009, 11:29 pm Last edited May 20, 2009, 11:37 pm by *Ayjona*

*Ayjona* Edgerunners Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 515 Joined: Dec 6, 2006 Oh, by the way, small suggestion for the new configuration feature: Could you perhaps add a "Restore" button directly to the vehicle page, removing the need to go into the Auto-configuration panel to fix a car? (Click economy is king, and I'm guessing the restore function is the one we will be making use of most frequently.) Perhaps even restructure the whole feature, into three buttons: "Save", "Restore" and "Other options", ensuring we have access to the most important functions directly, instead of one click away. ......................... vet marshal wv Posted May 20, 2009, 11:38 pm
