If you're using a manual combat system for the sake of not being a robot and for the sake of the old times when combat was fun, why would you want to poste the actual buttons to the screen?
For one, I think that's a horribly OOC way of doing it, and, what's the difference between any automatic system and this kind of manual? I mean, the only difference is that it's you who pushes the button instead of your system, there's no real skill involved. If you have to know your colors and how to react, that's an entire different thing I think....
But hey, it's an interesting idea never the less *grin* any chance I can get a look at that system? Sounds neat and I'd definitely love to see how you do the outputs and all.
No wait... you're still using colors and all aren't you? Just using boxes roughly resembling your keys rather than lines and partial color syntaxes.. bah. That much for reading posts while half asleep. Still, I'd love to have a look at that system.

Besides systems like Amaru's where the thousands of credits that have been paid for it have made the system sentient, You should be smarter than your system. Manual systems are easier (in some ways) to create, and they give a lot more control to the user, and because your brain can react to situations much better than a system can (it can only react based on whatever code you give it) a manual system and a good person behind it will beat a full auto system when say, a new guild comes out, because a manual system relies more on the person behind it which can adapt to new things where as code can't. However, with that said a full auto system will beat a manual as far as time and such if it's coded right for what it's meant to do.
