Re: [crossfire] [RFC 2/3] Misc keybinding fixes and changes

2013-10-31 Thread David Hurst
I'd be of the view, if it isn't reducing a functionality but re-implementing it in a more useful way (be it more flexible, faster, or any other good reason) then it has my support. Perhaps another perspective is that if you change it, and things don't work out, it is a lot easier to backtrack and

Hi guys and gals, I've been spending a lot of time playing crossfire lately and the discussion around a new release prompted me to think about some potential balance improvements that could be made. I am thinking about some of the more fundamental aspects of the game such as player race

Hi, I'm currently using a 1.71 build of the gtk client on Windows 10. It works well with only two issues. 1. The Meta server doesn't work 2. The default numpad key bindings don't work and have to be bound manually. I'm happy to help bug test a gtk client (and the Java client) for this release.
