Planned Features

  • change the polar_sea time slices to other minues (e.g. from 15 to 5 Minutes)
  • maybe rename it this mod to ProCommandLine with Symbold ♇ (PLine)
  • maybe move it to gitlab

Limitations

There is a limitation in the game where replays are not saved when you are the host of a team or 1v1 game. However, replays are saved when you join and play 1v1 games or team games.

but no problem if you use from the newer releases :

...noMpJS... .zip

select Barracks + ElephantStable + Stable) "Ctrl+X" (remember X like nearly everything)

Barracks, ElephantStable ,Stable = "Ctrl+X"

this selects only nowoundedonly using mouse (May think about oK. he is ok or so):

hotkey.autociv.selection.nowoundedonly = "K"

this selects only woundedonly using mouse (think about: Lie down to bed better to geht healty again):

hotkey.selection.woundedonly = "L"
