Title: Downtime
Post by: Baloo on September 27, 2013, 01:35:46 PM
How about we incorporate all those .dt commands into a nice little section that pops up when you right click on a field and check status.
For example, you right click on A1 - it says A1 field status (or whatever) - you click for the status, and there is a section that provides the downtime for all destroyed targets and if they're not destroyed it doesn't list them...less space used.
You can even take out the Bish Strat status from that tab, and make it so you have to right click the strats to see all that info (which I find useless anyhow, for field status, but then again I don't go strat raiding everyday...)

I think that's better than printing out paper, and searching for codes or what not...yes, I'm young and want everything at my fingertips  :bolt:

Not even a +/-?

This would be better than the standard "alt-f4" junk. I'd give it a +1

+1 (or some other way of checking downtime without having the codes memorized)

When you right click on the map you could select
Downtime of:
vh
Fh
Bh
Ammo bunker
Radar
Supps and troops
Town
Auto guns
Manned guns

Would be easier than dot commands.

I'll give a +1.  A squaddie has tried to teach me proper format and how to type the requests twice.  Still has not worked... :bhead

The flag is missing ont hat list, it's FLG - if it's giving a downtime, it's white.
FFF for "primary ship" doesn't exist, use SHP, CV is number 000

+1  Just to save the sanity of the one or two guys in our squad we always ask for downtimes 'cause we are too lazy to learn them.

I'd be happier if .help gave an up to date .command list with descriptions of what they do. Currently it says ".DT Object name" for the .dt command.

I have committed all the commands to memory and can use that real time information to assist me capturing any field on the fly.

If you lot are too lazy to do the same then I'll rather have the unfair advantage!   :D

I've never gotten these three to work for me:

GNG
GNA
BAH

And what gun is BAH?

Doright, please forgive your ignorant swine brethren.  You are the keeper of the magic code!

It's the shore battery

GNA's are only found on ships (I think they are the 8", but I would have to check that) , and GNG are the small calibre auto guns on fields, ships, in towns and the ones within the factories at the strats. The acks on the ack towers there are GNH.

I use the gng command all the time.

.dt f12gng   

^ for example, works like a charm, trouble sometimes can be that I don't know which are base autoack, and which are town autoack...the numbering system of such seems to differ on every base.
