Spacebar like in original KAM

Hi,

I was wondering why the spacebar does not work like in original KAM - in original KAM after pressing Spacebar, the screen is "moved" directly to location on map, where are my troops under attack (or last position of attack to my troops - basicly, the last position of "crossed swords" on minimap)

can you add this to Remake, I think its really usefull, especially in fast multiplayer games :)

IIRC spacebar worked when you opened a message which had a goto button. Since then we have changed the way reminder messages work (stacked them into single log) - hence no goto button there. Attack alerts were added from scratch, so adding spacebar to move view to place of attack technically is a whole new idea. What do you guys think?

Nope, Anytime you had an alert(under attack), hitting the spacebar would zoom to that location. Don't know if it worked like that for messages, too though.
So I for sure think it would be a nice addition ;)

So the plan is that while there's a notification icon on minimap, pressing spacebar will move the view to that location (or to the newest location if there are several notifications going on at once). Right?

Yeah agree, but please make sure that it doesn´t work when the chatbox is opened! Otherwise you won´t be able to write a message, at least not that userfriendly like it is now :D

It's implemented. Spacebar centers the screen on the newest alert/beacon :)
