Feedback on menu, gameplay and forums
Hey!
Now first of all, I'm not using the latest version of hedgewars just yet (probably the one thing i hate about ubuntu is how respository updates never seem to go up before a month after release), but anyway, I feel like I have an idea or 2 for improvements:
1. When I'm in settings and just going about naming my hogs, save and wanna go back to the "home" screen and play, it has happened one time too many i just click my way out of the game. Exiting the program, I mean, because the "exit"-button is the same as the back button and in the same location
2. The tooltips come with a dark blue background and black text. That really isn't enough contrast for me to be able to read. I've installed gnome color-chooser, so in the mean time, can i change text color for tooltips here?
3. Ability to delete teams
4. Maybe weapon switching could be done by me holding down ie. and adjusting the currently selected weapon by using the arrow keys?
5. Sound on weapon pickup
6. I think some sounds, like the crate dropping, could be adjusted, but this is something I thought I'd give a go myself
7. And last but not least (in fact probably most of all): A search function for the forums would be nice ^^
The getdeb team updated the hedgewars package within a day of the release of 0.9.11

(This is on the Download page on this site BTW)

Oh, what the heck. 1PLXzL1CBUD1kdEWqMrwNUfGrGiirV1WpH <= tip a hedgewars dev
(1) Slow down.
(2) Fixed I think. Try updating.
(3) Yes, but just open ~/.hedgewars in your tool of choice ( nautilus ~/.hedgewars ) since using ubuntu, will work for now
(4) Sentence curiously worded but from my vague comprehension I'm inclined towards existing function key switching
(5),(6) Game needs a lot more sounds than that - feel free to help out
(7) Talk to socketbind

Ok, let me give it another go, see if I can make myself more clear.
1. When I'm in the settings-menu in Hedgewars, and I want to go go back to the main menu, I click the back-button. But sometimes, or rather a couple of times too many, I click an extra time, which closes the game. This is frustrating. I think the menu "back"-button shouldn't be in the same location as the game's "exit"-button.
4. Curiously worded indeed, since one word seem to have disappeared somewhere between previewing and submitting my post, however, what I meant was this:
Currently, I switch my hog's current weapon by clicking RMB (or I could map it to another key, I know), and then clicking on the weapon of my choice. However, I think it would be nice if the weapon switching could be done by me holding down SHIFT (for example), then changing the highlighted weapon with my ARROW KEYS, and releasing SHIFT when the weapon I desire to use is highlighted.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Also, I have been around getdeb.net before I posted here, but the problem is that the main .deb package I download from there tries to resolve dependencies (being hedgewars-data in this case) by looking it up in the respositories, where it isn't yet available.
I'll do my best to solve this along with Google, but does anyone know how to make the main hedgewars .deb see the hedgewars-data .deb locally instead of trying to get it through the respositories?
Install at first the hedgewars-data.deb, then hedgewars.deb.

Hedgewars script for ubuntu is here...but maybe I have to update it first
Hey, thanks a bunch, running the latest version of hedgewars right now!
Nice to see the tooltip text color fixed
