You can now run a fight from the keyboard. Press Space to take your turn, 1–8 to pick your weapons, and S or P for your first spell or potion. With preselection on, just tap space each round.
I absolutely love this Keith. This past week alone it feels like everything I've been wanting from battling for like two decades is coming to life - Talent Points, Enemy Archetypes (though this seems to be gone now, I did like that it. It could also lead to "classes" with pets), and now keyboard shortcuts to help my RSI-riddled hands? <3
For those of us not using a keyboard, can you make the buttons for start battle, make move, and such bigger? I have CSS to do it but its not working anymore. Big buttons made battling on phone faster and better for fingers.
If you haven't already, take a look at the Mobile Mode 🧪 topic in the general forums - I'm going to give battle a (slight!) mobile visual refresh soon and it'll be behind that flag
Sounds good! I usually find battling too tedious to do very much of, but if I can cycle through a bit quicker I might have more patience for it. I'll give it a try.
This is AWESOME. I went from almost never battling unless I had a seriously good incentive to, to now thousands of battles since the moment I noticed this update. It's genuinely fun now, and severely reduces the risk of strain I usually face so it's a lot more accessible. And I didn't have preselection on until I read this.... I knew it was a thing, but couldn't find it anywhere that I thought might make sense. Finally went out of my way to look for it after confirming it wasn't just removed lol, but it was kinda weird to find? I had to go to "choose different weapons" instead of "battle with defaults" like I normally do in order to find it.
Also I've noticed that I can't seem to remove items like potions equipped to my pet from the pet menu currently (I ultimately just used them to get rid of them). The Compendium also seems to list an awful lot of items under the Potion category that cannot be equipped, such as the Angel Wings.
(I did also love the talent points too haha.)
Since this is an old post at this point, for feedback purposes. c:
Oh yeah! I would also like to be able to use the spacebar to end the battle, too, please. ^^
html you always do this to me
