Cycling Use List, Jungle/Marsh Category

Post by Sturn » Sat Jun 02, 2018 10:30 am

When placing items with the Use List turned on, it would be nice to have an option to hit spacebar or some other key to skip a selection. Often I find that the next item in the order is not to my liking, so I have to go grab something from the list. Hitting the spacebar would cycle to the next option and thus make the selection quicker. I was using the Basic Vegetation category and often the wrong type of tree (coniferous vs. deciduous), or scrub would pop up.

A jungle/marsh category would be nice for vegetation. You have coniferous and deciduous covered, but a hot climate category with jungle trees, scrub, etc. I think should be available.

If you press "w" or "s" keys it will move forward and backwards across the list. However, it doesn't update the screen so you need to move the mouse a little to show the new selected feature. We'll fix this with the next release, but it should almost be where you want it :)

Good suggestion. We are working on it for both overland and tactical maps (overhead).

Thank you!

I also realized it's missing from the shortcut lists in the help menu. We'll fix that too. Ty! :)
