Patch 2.09 Wishlist

[lancer]

G'day,

The ability to provide bolded text in messages would be handy or alternatively the option to provide a smaller font to enable more information to be shown (without page flipping) would be useful.

Trying to come up with a format to present useable information via messages is quite tricky once you move beyond providing simple info updates. The addition of an extra formatting tool of some form (eg. above) would go a long way here.

An 'Exec' that allows you to dynamically change the descriptive text of an actioncard would be useful. I realise you can do this already but you aren't able to insert variables in the message which severely restricts its functionality.

Both are, however, firmly in the 'nice-to-have' catergory.

Cheers,
Lancer

I am sorry to say no new message interface for v2.09. Its is however an interesting and valid request in my eyes.

I will add exec for assigning flexible text to actioncard title and text fields for v2.09.

@Lancer only: Mail me at vic@xs4all.nl to get a temporary hotfix file with this new exec already in.

best regards,
Vic

Yea another request for one day would be able to dynamically script a regime variable. So you could just say setregimevar(VAR for regime, regimeslot,value).
Would make it a lot easier to script inside of loops.

EDIT:
Well looks like you took my suggestion after AT and put the execsetregimevar there. So nevermind heh.

How about adding multiple blocks for item (to block several obsolete units from being produced) and having and ability to make techs that can require X or Y. If I were a rich man I'd offer bribes but alas.. [:D] Would you take cookies?
