We are still working on the toolbar, so it's hard to comment much until we've settled on the design.

Since you're still in the design stage, let my stress my biggest wish here:

Commands available at the curser, either right click or double click for movement. Have the commands available at the click point as a command block or drop down list.

Ironsight, again, very good ideas.B)

The problem with the right click is that we use that for looking around.

:blush: Of course, I'm losing it.

Amended wish list: commands available at dbl click point...:)

By this statement I assume that you have already included it in the game. But what about using the center scroll on the mouse button? Push it down and move around or use that for commands.

Put your mouse where you want it, press down the wheel, scroll and push again to issue commands.

We'll look into it. I personally don't like pushing the middle button, but I don't mind wheeling with it. Right now though, wheeling moves you up and down. But let's wait and see.

Just another though, what about pushing down both buttons which could bring up a drop down menu then scrolling with the wheel?

Just doing a little brainstorming...

Keep in mind that some folks don't have a mouse with center wheel functionality...

estabu - I've never used a mouse, all the way back to CWBR. I have a touchpad on this laptop, I even use it for double-clicking, it's much easier once you get used to it.
