New convergence settings?
« on: March 25, 2011, 08:19:05 PM »
     I'm not really sure how hard this would be to implement, but would it be possible to separate the different gun
packages endpoints?  I have a heck of a time trying to grab a particular set of guns <green, blue, white> etc.

First, HTC needs to figure out exactly which color represents which set of guns.  I posted in the bugs forums that the colors are not consistent.

Second, you can slowly move your cursor around the outside of the convergence lines to "grab" the one you are after.  In most cases it is a fine line between colors.

I just move all guns as far as possible, than grab them one by one and put them in appropriate spot. Works well, never grab the wrong gun, and don't care about the colors.

     Tried that method.  I'd just like them separated for ease of use.  Not like it needs to be difficult and time consuming.

You don't need to grab the endpoint. Just move your mouse pointer across the area and watch the color of the convergence number change.

I think it is a little troublesome at times as well.. why don't we have a box that you type a number into? The we could set it at any point (within our curent range) id like to set min all at 405.. set up a box for each gunset. May take some time but I'm sure easy for our wonderful guys/gal.

i remember seeing that type of setting in another that is old and worn out...was one of very few nice features.
