I was thinking when I saw that "sherman mine flail thread" pointing out the uselessness of the CP button. and that got me thinking, there are a few other things that we don't need. So what if the task bar got cleaned up? Or rearranged. Because I know in FPS the less you have up on the screen to distract you the better, it worked really well for project reality, we made it so there was pretty much nothing. But I was thinking, you become so used to having the task bar set up how it is, would it hurt having it different? I just want to know what peoples opinions are on it, if they wouldn't mind seeing it changed.




But if you look at this, moving some things we could get a little extra space (not much). but one thing that I think needs to be fixed for EiRR is that the tabs for all factions needs to be the same. like the brit has the 3 trucks, even though you are using all 5 tabs.

Seven stuarts? Even in vCoH where spam is the best and only tactic, that can't work well. Anyway, if this is possible, it would be nice to have it as an extra option. Should not be forced though, like the camera zoom mod.

i dont think you can do much with the taskbar.

actually, theres been some research into the DoW task bar and there have been significant changes made to it. i was meandering through the CoH files yesturday, and they all use the same setup as DoW (namely gamescreen.screen and taskbar.lua).

if you modders want to look into it, i would reccomend talking to this chap:
