"All CPUs" switcher
« on: 20 November 2014, 21:52:12 »
It would be nice to have a "switcher" in game lobby which changes all available CPUs to its value.

How would this work ?
A checkbox that ( if set ) causes the setting of all cpus to be the same ? Or just the CPU type?

In genral I don't think this does make a lot of sense, because settig up a game does not take too much time compared to  playing the game.

A switcher just like other switchers , here is a pic (including my other feature request to "Balance teams")



And maybe it doesn't take much times, but yet there are some more buttons/checkbox etc , that no one uses. Like : AI Accept percent , Allow Translated Techtrees, Scenario, Switch teams.
So this is better, it actually saves lots of clicks  8)

These features wouldn't be needed if "switchers" would be like real "drop downs" ;D

Setting up CPU doesn't take much time I think. This only seems to take endless because the "bugged" headless servers. But this is fixed in the new version so i would agree titi.
My first Tilseset: SPRING :) (included in Megaglest )

Secret Hint: To play online join the IRC #megaglest-lobby on freenode which is the lobby chat ingame. So you can chat with or wait for people in the lobby without running megaglest all the time.

setting cpu strength

From the host menu, a way to change the strength of the CPU.

One method I thought to use was commands entered into the chat line by the admin, such as

/set all 4.9

or

/set 5,6 4.9
/set 7,8 3.5

or

a checkbox "All AI Players have same Multiplier". If its activated ( default ) controlling one AI changes all AI-Multiplier.

or

a new select box "AI multiplier" setting the multiplier for all AIs.
