View Full Version : Barracks queue handling: please add drag and drop

I love the new batching system on the barracks, but

Queue handling is a nightmare. If you have 4 days' troops in the queue and you suddenly need to replace, say, cannoneers because you screwed up (as I do all the time), you have to make a note of the numbers of each troop type in the queue, delete them, add your new ones, then re-add the ones you deleted. Then you realize your recruits are too low down, so you have to do it all again. (I know, I'm disorganized, shoot me)

Please, Please, PLEASE stick handles on them so we can drag and drop!

But with that interface it might not be possible. How about the game numbering each entry, then allowing commands that would allow deleting by number, inserting by number, or reordering by changing numbers? Same affect as drag-drop but only requiring keyboard input.
The requests are clear on the many requests to allow move-to-top and such: There are many better ways than single-up or single-down movement.

I'm glad we have the new option at all - but I would love to see it now taken to the next level.

I'm pretty sure this should be possible in Flash, which is quite sophisticated.

If not, how about if you hold the up arrow, it keeps moving up the list till you let go?

I play lots of flash games (and I've even had a go at programming in flash, years ago), I'm certain one of these should work.

No need for this - just change Up to Move to Top.

Either way it requires a change by BB. So there is a need for this or something similar

this is definitely the way forward, easy to implement, str8 forward and does what's needed. fair play to bb for trying something new with the up and down arrows, but why didn't any1 test it and think "nah this don't work" instead of just putting it out there regardless rofl!

It was mentioned in feedback at testserver..


How about not cancel at all and just move it up the queue. (like it says in the changelog (http://forum.tsotesting.com/threads/20924-Change-log-test-server-2014-11-26?p=34362#post34362))
As i said move it up take forever did you try ? Its faster to cancel all then make mugen and order again all irmas. Maby if i push up it could go top of the list and when i move down it goes one by one? i think that would help.

A "move to top" or something is definitely needed
