Yeah, have you ever played a 4x with that feature? It's pretty convenient, (I think Galactic Civilizations 2 had map-drag options). It beats the heck out of using the arrow button or clicking on the minimap when you have very large scale maps and want to look at nearby objects. I think the term is "click and drag". Google Maps uses it:

impact -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/11/2010 7:39:14 AM)

at least it is what i am talking about, yes - this is generally called "panning" in other RTS titles.



Icesavage -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/11/2010 6:01:07 PM)

I think scrolling via mouse border position works well enough.  I m not that big a fan of dragging, because there is always the possibility of clicking somewhere interactive and causing an action that I didn't want.  Consider dragging along the screen in multiple successions and then accidentally hitting one of your planets and then selecting a build order for something unwanted. 



impact -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/11/2010 7:22:35 PM)

I know, that's why a correct implementation of dragging is usually mapped to the middle mouse-button, as it often has no other function..that way you won't accidentally select stuff or create orders...

So, umm, what happened to 1.05?

I get the impression that this game has really slipped to the backburner.



Litjan -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/11/2010 10:07:31 PM)

Didnīt they say Mid-June? Itīs only the 11th on the planet I live on...

The last estimate I posted was 1.0.5 public beta by mid-June and I think we are still on track for that (so far).
Yep. I'd give a few more days before panicking.

Just yesterday Erik posted that it was finished, they were making tweaks, and it will be out soon. RELAX



tkobo -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/12/2010 3:33:21 PM)

I hope to a non-existent mythical being they fixed the saves....I would really love to actually be able to play a game til i decided it was time to end it.



ZeroSum -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/14/2010 4:04:05 PM)

Any chance of the Public Beta being released today?

For three weeks now, I've been saying mid-June for the 1.0.5 public beta. I've posted information in the interim to let people know what we are working on. We're still on target for a mid-June public beta. This qualifies as "slipped to the backburner"?

Don't bite Erik the rest of us can put him in line ;)



WoodMan -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/14/2010 5:58:10 PM)

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is a public Beta?  Will the Beta be available for anyone who wants to download it?  Or do you have to sign up for Public Beta's somewhere?

Alpha: Most features incomplete or unimplemented.
Beta: Complete game, needs to be tested for bugs (there are always bugs!) so they can be found an squashed.
Private Beta: Early beta stage where only a select group gets access to the file.
Public Beta: Beta is available for everyone and anyone. There might be bugs, but if you can live with them you can get the software earlier by downloading the public beta version.

True... there were constant updates about the progress... a simply humongous list of improvements and changes, and near daily reports of progress (along with a "it will go beta mid june" with each one of those)



drillerman -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/14/2010 9:58:15 PM)

I hope, whether it's in this update or another one soon that ship sets may actually be assigned to certain races and other modding capabilities be opened up. Being able to add more planets etc.
Only, if this doesn't happen soon I fear interest may start to wane abit?



Erik Rutins -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/14/2010 10:07:28 PM)

One heads up on 1.0.5 - unlike previous updates it does not work with older saved games. So please do not update if you have games you want to finish up first.



Gertjan -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/14/2010 10:08:16 PM)

Wow already tomorrow, Iīm losing track of time, perhaps it is due to the world cup soccer. I really need to play this game again, otherwise I wonīt be able to recognise it anymore with so many changes.



drillerman -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/14/2010 10:44:39 PM)

FOOTBALL!!!! It's called Football![:-]

....................And yes, you were lucky, you didn't deserve the draw. [:@]

Sorry Erik, off topic but c'mon it's called FOOTBALL!!!!![:D]

hey,
the point is not that i can't use edge scrolling efficiently - i wouldn't use it if keyboard scrolling would be fixed ;)
however, a map-drag option would work as well and actually be pretty great.



+1 for map drag on the main screen and the mini map, or at least fix the cursor key scrolling :)

Heh, I don't care what you call it, or which version of it is, I still call it 'not worth watching'.

With me, that goes for all sports. Fun to play, can't stand to sit and watch. About the only sport I will watch on TV is Ice Hockey...the rest, nah, I'll pass.

GO BLACKHAWKS!!!! I hope I never have to wait that long for them to lift the Cup again [:D]

oh, and happy to hear about the progress regarding latest patch and additions [:)]



Shark7 -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/15/2010 7:48:57 PM)

Ok, got me a new computer going, now I just need a DW update. Perfect timing, no? [:D]



RViener -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/15/2010 11:12:36 PM)

Erik, Is today the day for the new Beta?



Erik Rutins -> RE: 1.0.5 Update Plans (6/15/2010 11:19:20 PM)

Hi guys,

We believe 1.0.5 is ready to go to public beta, but because of the Storm over the Pacific release we ran out of time to do the public beta release. I will post it up for everyone first thing tomorrow morning, sorry for the extra delay!

Regards,

- Erik
