also please support normal numbers as mirror to numpad - many notebooks/netbooks don't have numeric keys
I wouldn't worry about that. So far number hotkeys have always been implemented to be supported for both mainpad and numpad in VCMI. It was H3 which didn't support them on the numpad actually, which was a bit annoying.
Tips for testers:
- Check the bugs already reported in the BUGTRACKER, to avoid creating dupes
- Check the ITEM IMPLEMENTATION STATUS lists, to avoid reporting as “bug” a feature not yet ready for testing
- If you feel the devs should prioritize a certain feature implementation, please add it to the Missing features & functionalities thread.
- Enjoy! :)

I wonder if this thread is still useful... I haven't been browsing it for a long time because I use bugtracker to find issues to fix/implement (and this thread is too chaotic). I think this thread should be closed and all feature requests should be reported on mantis. New features / feature requests should be reported with special tag. All relevant requests from this threads should be moved. Does anybody have arguments against it?
But don't get me wrong. I agree with the following:
- Mantis is most probably a better place to report to report features still missing
- You guys (the devs) should not worry anymore about this thread
- Whatever relevant requests in this thread not yet implemented, should be added in Mantis for your attention
The reasons I prefer to leave it open though are:
- for debates. Let's say I have an idea (like implementing hotkeys for favorite spells on the previous page). I prefer to list it here first and get a bit of feedback on it before reporting it on Mantis. Maybe it's a stupid idea, or maybe someone can point out something obvious that I missed. Like this I have a better chance of reporting on Mantis an improved version of my original idea, which may also make things easier and more clear for you as devs when you get to it.
- for new users who just discovered the forum and aren't yet familiar with Mantis. They may not think it's the place to report all that's missing or enhancements and open new threads over here. I'm hoping this sticky may jump in their attention and they'll go for it instead.
- for logging purposes. Related to the above, I prefer to have whatever reports/suggestions people might like to post on the forum in one place rather than scattered around (but that's just me - maybe you actually prefer new threads for such things...)
- in general I don't like closing threads, unless they become spam playgrounds :)
Now, I agree people need to be discouraged from using this place i/o Mantis, so maybe a good idea would be for me to update the original post about the purpose of the thread, pointing people to Mantis if they want to raise sth to your attention, and post here only if they want other people's opinion on it first (or if for some reason they really don't feel like using Mantis - I remember years ago writing lots of useful reports for the H5 beta on the forum, simply because I used to hate Ubi's bug reporting tool).
For the rest, I was planning to log whatever's still pending here into Mantis, but with over 200 bug reports still open over there, I thought it may not be the best time to overload it with all these feature requests right now.
Of course, that's just my p.o.v. It may be wrong or biased, so if you really want the thread closed, I won't get upset or anything. Maybe a tiny bit frustrated, but it'll pass.

Yep, I also think that closing is not solution. Here are many good ideas and somehow should be made kind of classification - urgent/very good/ good/ nice /useless.
I think Zamolxis is right person to go through this thread and make such a list.
Urgent (and maybe very good - depends how many will be classified as very good and urgent) should be added to mantis. Then after VCMI 1.0 will appear next part of the features could be added to mantis, too.
We should try to avoid making mess in Mantis ;) That's why all of the ideas shouldn't be added to mantis
Yes, you're right, I didn't think about new users. This thread could really be a good place for them to report missing features, and for discussions about them. I'm just worried that good ideas written here may be forgotten. Mantis is a better tool for managing feature requests - we can discuss each request separately and tag it according to its priority.

I don't think this number is likely to decrease. Issues get fixed, but new ones are reported too. I think it's possible that we will never have less that 100 open issues. Fortunately mantis is much more sophisticated tool tan this forum is and it's not so easy to overload it :).
