[Suggestion] more indicators with other colors
« on: February 10, 2018, 02:46:36 pm »
Ext+ is awesome. I love that my reserve TU settings is auto- share with each guys!

...to the supplications:

1) there is good marker for wounded soldier (blue box). Can it select wounded soldier?
f.ex. with blue 3 box: i double-press 3 and the wounded guys is selected.

2) when i hold ALT, the gray direction arrows are show.
Can the small arrows be: green - if xcom didnt move yet. orange - if still can snap shoot?
this would greatly reduce the toggling soldiers, to check the current tactical status.

3)stats [(c key) also in the base & after combat stats]- can you recolor the stats name in left column:
TimeUnits, energy,... to Morale - color 1
Reaction, (acc).. to Strenght - color 2
Psionic Str,Skill - color 3
armor - color 4
... or color be similar to the right sliders.

it would be less wearing for my eyes. Maybe you pros now it by heart, only checking slider color. But i searching and reading and comparing with the slider.

4)
can you make mouse slider to cover toggling xcoms in stats and inventory (same as TAB/~)?
mouse scroll work godlike for purchasing - simultaneously scroll list and adjust amount to buy

5)
looking (middle mouse) at sectoid didnt show his doll.

newb question:
6) in inventory panel when i press Q i can write something in label - what for is this function?

Pro tip: don't ever use reserve TU... looks useful, but is absolute crap (and trap)... even as a newb, you can do better without it

5)

there are no paperdolls for aliens in vanilla... but you can mod them if you want

6) in inventory panel when i press Q i can write something in label - what for is this function?

it filters the ground inventory... useful when there's a lot of stuff on the ground and you want to find that tiny smoke grenade :)

I feel like i can't add or install OXCE+ on my PCs because i'm not a big fan of tutorials that involve always text instead of videos and images (I read the "[2] OXCE+ download & installation guide" topic by Meridian, but i feel like i want to wait on a tutorial video for OXCE and OXCE+ by someone since ivandogovich didn't add OXCE/OXCE+ on his YT video). :(

OXCE+ can be installed EXACTLY the same way as OXC nightly.
I will not be doing any tutorials.
