UI
Left toolbar
The left toolbar contains three different groups of buttons related to the world scene
Spatial buttons
Spatial buttons are the ones that interact with the camera in the world
Map pìn button
The Map pin button marks the actual camera position and zoom and saves it into your battle server save so the next time the battle is loaded the camera will be positioned at the pinned location (panning big maps might be hard)
Zoom in and zoom out buttons
Click + to zoom in and - to zoom out, what else can i say?
Mode buttons
Mode buttons switches between the two modes the application is split in
Select mode
Select mode is where you interact with your blocks, you can select, move and rotate your blocks only in this mode
Draw mode
Draw mode is the mode you have to use to interact with the drawings, either to create new ones or to delete some.
In draw mode you will see a color picker to select the color you want to draw with and you can draw lines by moving the mouse while holding the left click.
In touch devices, yu can simply draw in the screen with draw mode enabled to create paths.
Drawings have a "starting point" marked as a black dot, click or tap it in draw mode to delete the path
Utilities buttons
Utilities buttons gives you some functionalities to make your live as kriegsspiel player easier.
Screenshot
Ya know! a big part of kriegsspiel is sharing your map with umpires or other commanders. The screenshot button prints a shot of what you see, map, blocks and paths included.
Screenshots will be automatically downloaded into your downloads folder, prefixed with the name of the battle so you can identify them easily.
Export battle
This button exports the whole battle data in a JSON file, this feature is not important for you yet, but it might be relevaant in the future
Bug report
This button opens a bug report screen where you can report any bug that you find directly. Bugs are checked and fixed as soon as possible.
Please, use it!! Bug hunting and reporting is needed at this stage. Thank you :)
Right toolbar
The right toolbar contains icons to interact and/or see the status of blocks and units. Now only one button is present in this toolbar.
Army buttons
Hierarchy toggle button
The hierarchy toggle button is available when your battle has blocks. By clicking it yo can toggle in and out the hierarchy sidebar.
Hierarchy sidebar
The hierarchy sidebar is going to be your best friend in kriegsspiel.app
In this sidebar you can see every unit and block already present in the world, sorted by unit name. You can click unit names to unfold them and click block names to travel to its location, tired of looking for the 7th MA Infantery battalion in a 700.000 miles campaign map? yes, me too.
The sidebar is sorted by alphabetical order, I'd suggest to have your CiC as 0.CiC, just saying.
