Delete Branch "Vantha/0ad:flare-notifications"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
This patch adds a setting (enabled by default) for flare chat notifications.
It's meant as a base for #7042 - a way to tell which observer sent a flare (since all observers flare in white).
The 'Game Session' settings category doesn't have space on the GUI page for a new setting which is why I moved all chat related settings (including the new one) into a new settings category called 'Chat'.
Points to discuss:
Good idea! I think it would be nice to add an icon like
icon_focusattacked
and be able to click on the message to focus the camera on the flare.Wow, clicking on the attack notification actually makes the camera jump to the attacked unit... how did I not know about this feature?
(could maybe also be included in the tips)
Anyway, in that case, I agree, making the flare message clickable too is definitely something that I should do.
Thanks.
Added an icon to the beginning of the chat message (sprite extracted from the minimap flare button. Though, I'm not fully content with it):
And also made the camera move to the flare's location when left-clicking on the notification:
