GUI request - General Information Bar

[Wolfe1759]

Currently the General Information Bar (top centre of the screen) displays info on the selected hex including terrain, city, weather,and forts.

It would be really useful (given that there seems space to spare) if it also included Supply when the hex is a supply source and also possibly PPs and VPs if applicable, though VPs would probably be unneccesary as they are a static number and are printed on the map.

For example text in the GIB could read

Hex (149,74) : Swamp - Allenstien - Weather : Good - no forts - Supply : 30(11)

or

Hex (126,79) : Plains - Berlin - Weather: Good - no forts - Supply : MSS(30) - PP 13.0/13.0 - VP 8

If this was done then you could probably also do away with the Hex info box itself in its entirety as all the information in it would already be on screen. Though you would need to provide some other UI for the (rather rare) production of Mullberrys.

Check the information box on the left.

lol - ever get the impression people don't read your posts? Happens a fair bit it seems. I've had several posts of late were either people haven't read them in their entirety, read too much into them or just plain didn't get what I was saying. *shrug*

Razz - I've just re-read my post and wanted to say that it wasn't a dig at you by the way - just a general observation I've noticed from time to time (something I am most likely guilty of myself I expect) [;)]

I must check are we able to stick more info on the low resolutions, there is not so many space.

Razz - my intent was to take the information from the Hex info box so you don't need it on screen - I generally turn off all info screens (including battle results) and use the auto-info option.

P.S. JD if you use the Agent S maps I might just have saved Scotland from being renamed England (see mods threads) - no dig on my part intended towards Agent S (or Razz)

Really? oh dear! I've been so busy with Barbarossa I didn't noticed.

I think you and I know [;)] how that hurts Wolfe! [:D]
