[UI] Adjust Position of Phase Action Buttons

by **Pilate** on Mon Jun 12, 2006 9:54 am

This is a meta-thread for any changes to the positioning of phase buttons in the UI- including Auto Assault, Assault/Fortify, End Assault/Fortify, etc, which have changed positions very frequently over the 9 years of CC. Please post here if you have a suggestion related to the buttons, including those to move for UI space optimization or space between them to avoid misakes. If you see any suggestion that needs to be merged here, please contact a Suggestions Moderator. -JamesKer1

The END ATTACK and END FORTIFICATION buttons need to be moved as far to the right as possible. When one is attacking repetitively it is very easy to keep the cursor in one spot and keep clicking then at the end you have accidentally ended your turn of attacks/fortifications.

Seems like this would be very easy to fix and very helpful too.

GREAT IDEA!!!

by **HighBorn** on Mon Jun 19, 2006 6:48 pm

Wow deja vu...

I agree, that's why my points are so low, I keep hitting end attacks when I should hve finished 'em off, lol.

But seriously, I agree it's a good idea.

This is such a simple thing to do. I don't know why CC hasn't done it before.

Look at this screenshot to see how I have my End Attacks button:

There's a couple of other suggestions there.

1. Instead of saying Attack rolls, or Defender rolls. CC should use the player's name.

2. The die rolls should be aligned so you can more easily match up the winning rolls. Alternately, they should be colored to signify which roll wins. Or use actual Die graphics.

well I would like to tell you it your fault dummy for not being carefull WAIT thats what i told me lol i do it all the time

by **SWAY75** on Wed Jun 21, 2006 8:53 am

how about using some of the 'F' keys as attack / end attack.

by **wacicha** on Wed Jun 21, 2006 9:13 am

that would take computer knowledge of some sort and since it took me like 2 days to download the rss feed i don't see that happening

by **lackattack** on Thu Jun 22, 2006 1:31 am

Okay, I moved the End buttons all the way to the right.

Now can I take the confirmation checkboxes off my to-do list??

by **zip_disk** on Thu Jun 22, 2006 1:34 am

For me it's on the left on the next line down, below and almost touching the dropdown menus for "Country to attack from" and "Number of troops to fortify". This might be an even bigger problem since you can hit it if the menu accidentally closes while you're trying to pick a selection.

by **wicked** on Thu Jun 22, 2006 5:51 am

Thanks Lack.

Mine's not on the right either, rather underneath.

by **Tubby Rower** on Thu Jun 22, 2006 6:22 am

thanks Lack!! I freaked out when I played my turn this morning thinking that I would have to be on the attack forever.... Then I looked to the right

by **lackattack** on Thu Jun 22, 2006 6:58 am

If you get End Attacks button underneath, hit refresh.

Your browser has the old stylesheet cached.

by **wicked** on Thu Jun 22, 2006 7:18 am

that didn't work for me. could it be due to a small monitor size?

edit: works fine on the work computer (i.e. bigger monitor)... looks GREAT. THANKS my favorite Lack!

by **Conqueror** on Sun Jun 25, 2006 10:21 am

i suggest to:
move the end fortification button.
or put a confirmation checkbox

today on a tourney

http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=36545

i was like beating all the other players but i clicked on end fortification by mistake.

by **wicked** on Sun Jun 25, 2006 10:22 am

dude are you serious? Lack just moved it!

by **Conqueror** on Sun Jun 25, 2006 10:24 am

look at the link, i committed a terrible mistake because of it.

lack should put a checkbox

by **DublinDoogey** on Sun Jun 25, 2006 10:27 am

It's your own fault if you make mistakes, personally I prefered the old location of the 'end' buttons, even if I made a mistake every now and then.

It's conquerclub, not life-or-death, a mistake won't cost you much.

by **Conqueror** on Sun Jun 25, 2006 10:32 am

it is a tourney game

by **Banana Stomper** on Sun Jun 25, 2006 10:35 am

how about we put an undo deployment button in!? How about game restarts!? Maybe we should be able to make a game not count when we lose!? How about we have a committee watch all games and advise every player to make the best possible move?!
