GUI: a few doubts...

[Marquês de Alorna]

Dear all,

Could you please answer the following questions:

- In the new GUI, the background music does not start automatically. Once I go to the old GUI, the music starts, and then keeps playing when I revert to the new one. How can I make the background music play right from the start in the new GUI?

- When moving the CinC HQ, how can I check the height of the terrain, so that I can choose an elevation, even if a very slight one?

By the way, when I press TAB in the new GUI, the top panel disappears, but it goes to 3D view instead of keeping the 2D view. Does this also happen with you?

Thanks!

António

Hello Marquês 

Dear all,

Could you please answer the following questions:

I think you are right, and I do not know how to solve this.

- When moving the CinC HQ, how can I check the height of the terrain, so that I can choose an elevation, even if a very slight one?

I think that you can not do it directly (it would be nice), although you can check previously, roaming freely with the cursor on the map, the heights of the terain (in the new GUI they appear in the right of the top menu bar - see pic)

By the way, when I press TAB in the new GUI, the top panel disappears, but it goes to 3D view instead of keeping the 2D view. Does this also happen with you?

Strange, because I just checked and in my game the 2d map continues visible when I press Tab... (see pic)

Obrigado, Franciscus!

Yes, the behavior when I press TAB is strange... I have no idea why it behaves like that...

Regarding map heights, do not forget that you can use annotations in a layer to mark a specific spot on the map.

Thanks for the tip! I've still not explored the possibilities offered by the layer tool.

Obrigado.. 
Sound : no idea?
Transparency : fixed in the last patch (03a RC7), no before

With the new interface you don't have the background music it's normal.

You have the 3D sounds.
