Sorry - did not notice this during testing. I appreciate Peter putting out an art fix but the best way is to correct the text in the display.

In the next patch we can remove the word "Beginning" from each of the displays - this should shorten them enough to fit in the graphic. In the meantime the display is still useful.

Just remove MacArthurs mug then there will be lots of room.[:D]

Hehe.

Poor Mac. Not enough room on that clipboard for both the report and his ego...

Where do you load the fix into? the WitP folder or a sub-folder?

If you go to the art sub folder you will find two files - a_combatsummary and j_combatsummary. These are the two files that need to be replaced. Save them fist as copies for example a_combatsummaryback. You need to download the two files but s far as I now they need to be resaved as .bmp files and renames to the above file names then dropped into the art folder.

Ok, converted, replaced and checked. There is still a slight overspill but that's to do with very large numbers and is still readable.

If you want a copy as a bmp to drop into the art folder then drop me an email.

Better to just move the starting and ending attack values to a newline, directly below the forces line.

Cleaner division of information anyway.

I'm not sure I agree with this. There is already a lot of data on a lot of lines - a scroll bar is quite common.

Does anyone feel that removing the word "Beginning" would damage the meaning of the line??


Could you also move the scrollbar to the right in all the reports?

Don, While you guys are fixing this could you also fix the spillover in the Op Reports by making the directions abbreviated... NE instead of Northeast....NW instead of Northwest etc...

Also this is a Japanese Op report. Why are there allied sightings of my ships reported as well? Are both sides reported in one Op report? Do they not have separate op reports?
