Hightling territories from the chat window

Post by Dualta »

To be able to hover the cursor over the name of a territory in the chat window to highlight the territory on the map, would be great for navigating maps while discussing strategy with team mates, especially for large maps on small screens.

Awesome stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing it when it comes out. If you need a beta tester, just ask. I'd be very happy to help.

Yes, it works.

In your settings, make sure you have Panel Mode turned On, Advanced Game Processing turned On, and Map Inspect turned On.

Is this available on mobile device? Are we discussing the map inspect?

Yes, talking about Map Inspect.

Sorry I know nothing about mobile functionality. I hear rumours about this works and that doesn't, but what's needed I think is for someone to compile a list of all the mobile OS and which CC features work and don't work with each of them.

I'm on a decent PC and i have indeed got: " Panel Mode turned On, Advanced Game Processing turned On, and Map Inspect turned On" all turned on, as indeed is every feature available in the settings, but i must be missing something. I'm hovering over the name of a territory i was discussing with an adversary, and it doesn't get highlighted. Could it be a capital letters problem, or does the text need to be formatted in a certain way in the chat maybe?

Hopefully this is something that will fix both this chat window feature AND what i assume must be the easier and more useful feature of highlighting territories when hovering over them in the LOG (very useful for big maps with unfamiliar names)

Thanks in advance!

I don't think map inspect works from the chat box, you have to hover over territories or the players themselves. Tho it would be great if the chat part was added :)
