Spacebar in the Combo Page.

[ShadowTiger]

Go to Quest-->Graphics-->Combos. This is the Combo Page. (As we all know. ) Press Spacebar. You'll see something relatively pointless. IMHO, NOBODY uses this, and nobody needs to, since hitting spacebar will make the Combo Pages look more like they do in ZQuest. At the very, very least, the Spacebar function should be changed to something similar to that of in the Tiles Pages, where you have a rectangular selection scheme. This would obviously be extremely helpful. Obviously. o_o

Although, now that I think about it, the alternate method for viewing Combos could be useful for viewing a "straight line" of combos across the board. One successive row of combos, each leading to the one immediately to its right, without having to switch rows every four combos. So maybe it is still somewhat useful. Still, I think that Spacebar should switch selection modes just the same, like in the Tiles Screen. You all know why. :p

I agree. Maybe change the spacebar to change the selection mode, and make some other key change the viewing mode though.

Am I the only one to use it then? I use the spacebar in the combo to see if the tiles look right together. However, it wouldn't be a huge loss if it was taken out and replaced with BH4's suggestion.

I use the spacebar EVERY time I go into the combo editor. In fact, I think the default should be dropped and it should appear just as it does in zquest. OR, better yet, this should be a savable preference.

Well, like QuestWizard said, it wouldn't be -replaced-. It'd simply be displaced. The spacebar, that is. It'd be assigned a new key or something.

use both and make it cycle between the 3 modes.

The matter at hand isn't being understood, apparently.

franpa, go into ZQuest, and into the Quest-->Graphics-->Combos area, and hit spacebar a few times.

Now go into the Quest-->Graphics-->Tiles area, and hit spacebar a few times, and select tiles, then hit spacebar again, and select tiles. (Like, .. not tiles that are right next to each other.) You'll see what I'm saying here.

It's not a matter of switching between modes here, because there aren't "three modes." There are viewing styles, and selection styles. I'm suggesting that the viewing style be deferred to another hotkey, and a new rectangular way to select combos be established in its stead, ... yet the other way to view combos would still be present, but not accessible under the spacebar anymore. It would still be there though. No need to toggle between three modes, if one of them isn't even a mode.

[Nicholas Steel]

thanks bh4... i now know what your on about... yes a seperate button to change view styles and another button for selection style would be greatly appreaciated.

and under certain modes... certain other modes are no longer usable.

I find the current spacebar-accessed viewing mode VERY useful. BH4/ST, I don't know why you think it has so little use. Perhaps you are too used to the original method? Because the original method requires you to visualize a lot without actually seeing it.

I use the new viewing method most of the time, but not all of the time. I actually switch between them quite frequently, because selecting large groups of combos is a bit quicker in the old mode.

and under certain modes... certain other modes are no longer usable.

True. Though selection and view modes are different, the selection mode BH4/ST suggested would be useless, more or less, in the old viewing mode. So they might as well cycle 3-way, in my opinion.

[ShadowTiger]

Why, what use does the original horizontal view have? o.o'
