Allow us to rotate runestones

Postby Dondy » Fri Jan 18, 2019 10:14 am

I want to build a cromlech. If the stones can be placed at different angles we could build some nice stone circles.

You mean rotating them around the x and y axes? You can already rotate them arbitrarily around the z axis.

Ctrl+mousewheel I think.

Shift+Mousewheel.

Shift+Ctrl+Mousewheel for finer adjustments.

Basic user interaction tutorial when? Most interactions are fairly stabilized, yet completely unintuitive, like the right click item over head for placement preview in this thread.

I think a set of official man pages somewhere in the client could be helpful. The wiki as it is doesn't really solve that problem.

Tempted to agree. What would be more intuitive? UI design is not my (or our) strong suite. I can play DF, or old DOS games, and eventually just become normalized to any objectively terrible UI.

For old players won't matter, we are used to it. For newbies... well, read wiki, like a lot ;)
