Title: Down Times display
Post by: redcatcherb412 on October 04, 2016, 10:20:54 AM
The base/town downtimes  right-click option is fantastic. Saves a load of typing.  Could the flag time be added to the list to replace typing (.dt f##  flg) ?.  There is a down time entry in the popup list for Maproom, but the maproom is never actually 'down' but a brief moment of capture transition.

I think the maproom IS the flag.

I have checked the new down time list when a town is white flagged and see no entry for the Map Room like the other down items even though I check box selected it to display.  When a town is captured the capturing player gets a message 'map room destroyed' just like buildings and guns so it is considered as 'down' but resets to normal for the capturing country immediately. At least that's how it appears to work unless I am missing it on the list somehow.

The white flag is tied to the number of town buildings destroyed, and is really not related to the map room.

If downtime has no relevance for the "map room", how about a "flag" entry instead?

No semp, the new downtimes display (which is great) when you right click a base has all the downtimes and checkboxes to only display the items you want to see without having to type the  (.dt fxx@@@) for each item, what is missing in the list is the entry to replace typing (.dt fxxFLG). Yes, you can still type the command and get the flag status, the wish was to add it to the right=click town status times.
