Ships display movement / target range?

Target · #1 October 28th, 2002, 02:43 AM

Eons ago, I had a older copy of SEIV and recall finding a setting that causes the selected ship to show its path line along with the number of turns it takes to arrive there...

I also recall a display in the lower left corner of the tactical combat display that showed range to a target when your cursor moved over it.

I have picked up SEIV Gold, v1.78 and can not recall where these options are set. Are they still available and if so, where/how are they set?

Advance thanks to all who can help my aged mind recall these tiny details!

Game Menu|Options|Display ship movement lines is what you want for the first one.

The range to target IIRC can't be turned on or off, but you only see it when your monitor options are set to 1024x768.

Thanks!

So, does anyone know how to get the ships to display their path and turns to position?

I don't know, it seems to be a on and off thing. Sometimes it does it for me sometimes it don't. Anymore it works alot. All I have to do is select a object - planet, moon, ship, unit - and then put mouse over another spot. And in lower left hand side it should show distance. Hope that helps.

That's what you thanked Geo for

Game Menu|Options|Display ship movement lines is what you want for the first one.

If it works correctly (it almost always does for me) you give an order, and the ship displays a line to the destination. Each square is marked by a number, which represents the number of turns required to get to that spot.

That's true. When I answered I thought he was asking how to get the range from one object to another. My bad.
