Solution for mousewheel build/evolve spam

[Thomsen]

Hi,

Like many people I use binds that use the mousewheel to build or evolve, the problem of that is that it's pretty spammy, so i started to count how many lines fit on the screen, that are 9 for the normal font, and 10 for a small font (like in oticz's hud)
So i did this:

Code Select Expand


for small font:
set space "echo ; echo ; echo ; echo ; echo ; echo ; echo ; echo ; echo"

for normal font:
set space "echo ; echo ; echo ; echo ; echo ; echo ; echo ; echo"


And added "vstr space" after the echo. It also works before the echo, but then the text isn't in the left center, but on the other side, when the space is after the echo, you have to scroll a bit before it works. That's not a big problem, you just have to get used to it.

I hope you guys like it

Thanks for sharing =)

(i wish there could be a way to make a W:ET-like menu tho =P)

This is a great way to remove the spam and is not detected by pure. Unlike just spamming something else to make it look slightly better, this actually removes the spam in the first place. Of course the list of things he actually put on it is incomprehensive, you have to copy/paste and add more than the few message removals he actually wrote.

Superie, Mine is not meant for those "You have to ..." or "You must be near a...." that come from the server, but for binds that result in something like this on the screen:

Code Select Expand


**Selected Overmind**
**Selected Egg**
**Selected Tube**
**Selected Trapper**
etc

With these echo's there is just one line in the view.

Isn't it easier just to remove these echo's from your bindlist??

Some people (like I) like echo's
