dot command wish:
« on: April 10, 2013, 11:18:07 AM »
.center [field number]

centers map on the field with that number

Reason: On many maps, field numbers seem to be assigned rather randomly. Often it takes a lot of time to locate a base (and no, ',move' doesn't always cut it), especially when calls for help are going out.


Surely not the first time this has been wished, so it's pobably about time ;)

If I can simply use ".c" as well, why not?

While we are at it, why not make all the popular commands work with single character aliases?

An add on to the OP, now that we have pilots names above their dots why not have a ".center pilotname" command?

.centre is an excellent idea +1

Can you not just use the goto option to find a player?
