    Hey everyone.

    I found some bugs in the commander view.

    1. If you zoom out and click onto the minimap to fly to a location, the commander view ist sometimes stuck. You are not able to build. Selection works. Rotating the cammera unstucks the view.
    2. Building something doesnt alway work. If your near the HUD placing the building does not work.
    3. Placing buildings in general sometimes does not work, nothing happens and the building does not appear.

    That first problem isn't in the code. You are hitting the skybox :P

    Sometimes either there is a unit blocking the building or there is an enemy that it doesn't always account for when turning green. Check for anything less than friendly in the area. usually if there is a problem, it because of a hidden scout, I don't think they are calculated when it shows the green, cause the com can't see / target hidden scouts.

    Yeah, I think the client side building "okay placement" code is bugged
    It used to be like this before in 2.0 but not nearly as bad.

    I occasionly get weird glitches where my green/red selection box isn't drawn, and I'm able to select the same guy over and over again till I have 20 icons of him.
    Also trying to move the camera by useing the minimap doesn't work.
    The usual fix of getting in and out of the chair does not work

    I think it may be caused by being com last map, but I have nothing to back that up.

    Restarting the game seemed to fix it.

    If you put a clip brush, you would just get caught in the clip brush :-S
