The mouse slows down considerably while using a radial menu, like quite badly.

I have also noticed that the only way to close the radial menu without having any options selected is by being in the middle of the radial menu, while being outside of it makes it choose the one it's alligned with, no matter how far the mouse is.
Is that intended?

Dragging to set range, like with orbiting: Will it be locked at 30k like the dropdown menu? I noticed that set default range is replaced with another dropdown menu going only to 30k.

I think its a nice addition but ive found a small flaw
when selecting something while in warp like another celestial and then trying to warp right after you come out of warp it just doesn't work you have to wait about 2 seconds before it works

... Or you can also hold down Ctrl and left clic to target bad people... Why do you want to bother with a cursor move + left clic hold/release in addition ?

I add my voice to the several comments about the resetting cursor location with the scanner menu, though I know that's not entirely your purview. Nonetheless, you should think about why we're posting it here, because it is A radial menu.

Other than that I have had some issues where I bring up a radial menu and then my mouse is "locked" to like half the screen until I close said radial menu. I mostly get this with the scanner menu.

For the power users, can we get an adjustable mouse-down time for the radial menu to pop up?

Why on earth are you randomly changing the locations of the icons? Do you have a reason? Or is it just to have something new?[/b]

Will it be possible to have the option to make it appear on rightclick instead of the old rightclick menu?

I guess I'm just irritated (Really, really irritated. Day was already bad when I found out the Radial Menu change, making it go from bad to horrid) that I'm going to have to go back to basics once more, and relearn my muscle memory.

Is it possible to allow customization at all? I know you did that with the Neocom. For me, a strong Radial Menu would be the old one, with the current layout just flat out annoying. Just having 'Look At' underneath a submenu is bad enough.

If you want to make a stronger tool for pilots, allowing them to set what icons they need and where those icons are would be a good step forward.

So what about adding the option to move the old rightclick to another key?

Well how about just reverting the button positions back to normal instead of moving them for no reason?

Is your team ready to admit that circles are terrible UI design yet? Its very straining on logi to see who's being hit because the rings in each circle blend together (is that fresh armor damage or just no shields) and its not easy to rapidly scan 10 locked targets in a horizontal fashion. It'd be a vast improvement if you iterated back to horizontal bars.

just whatch jonhny pew video about this radial thing, and, I must say, I was +1

I don't know if anyone else has tried to move around the enemies you have targeted, but you can't click and drag them to different positions because of the radial menu. If I target something tagged as 1 and 2, but I lock number 2 before number one, then I normally like to switch the two targets on my UI. I can no longer do this. Also, whens this. Is there some way to reorder my locked target doing logi, placing my targets in a specific order is something that is very important for me to be able to do, but the radial menu prevents that I'm missing? It seems that clicking and dragging most things in space would probably result in the radial menu popping up, rather than just dragging the info from whatever you click.

So very much this.

Stop spoiling your players! Say no to something.

A very quick note:

Last time I checked, the "Distance" to target in the open Radial Menu does not update in real time. That's a bit of a drawback, I must say.

I haven't tested it in two days, however, so I don't know how accurate that is anymore.

When I use "radial menu" shortcut it activates and then never deactivates until logoff. Very annoying.
Please don't ignore this issue.

I mean after only ONE activation of this shortcut radial menu will pop up instantly on every single click no matter what you do. Only logoff cures it.

yes potentially its a good development, however the lag makes it unusable.

Once the radial menu has been activated there is a clear delay between the movement of the mouse and the onscreen curser which makes it impractical and unusable in it's current state.

Sorry bad english, google translate:

The radial menu. For example I need to warp to the planet, and I'm trying to use it, leading to the right-mouse button on the top warp, but slightly cling right button, which seems to be a list of additional actions, but there comes out a setting button beeches, with shaded rest button. As a result, to press the warp, I have to re-move the mouse to the center of the radial menu and again lead-up to the right, even though logically should be easy to bring the mouse to the desired button. Either pull the key out of the advanced features of optional buttons or remove the shading buttons. I would remove the extension actions at all-around, respectively adding it. There, for example, you can add a custom list of orbits or keep at ranges.

i like this thing, i like it a lot

however, i drew a picture of a change i would like to see, mainly because i forgot my homework (at home) and therefore can't do it at work :O

(increase the ankle thingie where mouse movement influences the values)

Do you plan on implementing something like the "drag out" menu for warping to planets and their moons? Something like:

click Navigation Info Panel or Solar System Info Panelt
up- stargates (drag out: the various stargate in system)
down- stations (drag out: the various stations)
left- asteroid belts (drag out: the various belts)
right-- planets (drag out for enumerated planets 1-13+) -> click brings up subRadial

subRadial
up- the planet proper (drag out: enumerated districts, if temperate)
down- stations (drag out: the various stations in orbit of this planet)
left- local asteroid belts (drag out: the various belts in orbit of this planet)
down: local moons (drag out: enumerated moons)

Nice to hear you are working towards a fix for not being able to move the mouse to the right hand edge of the screen.

Any news on the pointer lag fix?

Will try them out later and post back on forum with results. Thanks for looking into it.

I'm having the same problem. Just started after updating today. Once I hit the scanner button and open it's radial menu, I can no longer click on anything else. No matter where I point, when I clck the mouse button it reverts to the center of the scanner menu. Sooo, I can't control the ship or do anything.

Have you considered "disappearing" the pointer while the radial menu is active? Once in the menu, any movement in a given direction would automatically flip control to the button in that direction. So moving down would highlight the targeting option, but then moving up (even just a little) would instantly flip you to the contextual option without the cursor having to backtrack its position. All complaints of mouse "slow down" would disappear since no one can see the cursor anyway. Navigating the menu would be a little faster too. For the "drag out" options, you could "click and hold" while dragging to select a value; releasing the click would then select the option.

That still leaves a bit of a problem if the menu was already in "click and hold" mode of course... but, then again, if you're already in "click and hold" mode you were probably in a hurry and wanted to use a preset anyway.

E2: Two things I noticed this morning playing around:
- The loot primary action button does not work in the latest iteration. At least, it doesn't work on convoy wrecks.
- Drag-out functionality needs to accommodate the edge of the screen. When I drag to the edge of the screen I can't set the distance past the edge of the screen, which is a problem when using the menu on an item at the top of the overview (for instance).

Do you happen to know if your intended mouse-lag fixes made it into this patch? Because I'm still having the mouse lag issues with the radial menu.

By "doing what it should be doing", do you mean buttons having the correct effect when you select them?

In my imagination that seems to work very well.. Hope the cold gets better ;P

After having spent about half an hour with my thoroughly unscientific (and yet completely exhaustive) testing method of wildly flailing the mouse cursor around and then opening the radial menu to continue flailing the cursor around with it open, closing the menu to consider if I saw any difference in speed or whether it's just my brain compensating for something and then repeating the process again:

No perceptible mouse lag is observed. I must have done it dozens or even dozens and dozens of times at various random intervals on just about whatever I could think of. Furthermore, the cursor seems to behave correctly even if it's technically "offscreen".

When I drag out the orbiting distance from the radial menu, can I get a (colour?) indicator when I cross my current range?

Thanks, Chira.
