Production overview "layer" IMPLEMENTED

[Stratego (dev)]

Problem: most of time i have to click tru TCs and chekck what they are producing because (espec. in multip. games) i forgot what was my strategy of productions.

Idea: making a button that i press, all TCs and factories will have a bubble on them showing the current and next production (if differ), maybe the turnsleft too maybe with dots or something.

Idea2: same appearance, but activates not on a button press but all time you click on a factory it will show the bubble on all factories for 1 sec or so.

(there was aa similar topic "Global production menu", but that is totally new "window".)


what do u think? or u have better idea?

[makazuwr32]

hm. need to see ingame how this must look. i personally can't decide which is better.

[Stratego (dev)]

mybe we could draw a sketch how it should look.

[godOfKings]

In 1st idea May b the production box is shown on a caption bubble that appears above the factories wen the button is pressed, I think it is good idea, it will look kind of like how a pointer is indicated in Google map, but larger to include the production box

[Stratego (dev)]

ok, can u make a image sample so we see how to make it look like?

[COOLguy]

idea 2 would get annoying. I only want to see it sometimes, not every time I tap

[Stratego (dev)]

my idea for appearance

[LordOfAles]

So do we need to tap a TC to see everything or there will be a button for that.

i think the button version will work better.

[Gral.Sturnn]

A single button to overview everything sounds just like perfect

[LordOfAles]

If button then this would be perfect.

the first version is uos 20.

please tell me flaws u have found
i know these problems:
- wrong layer: can overlap other unit
- multi tile images look bad (like in mapeditor button)

[Stratego (dev)]

I made a change:
the bubbles are shown only if you have a factory building selected.

so at this point we have:
- a button to turn on/off bubbles on factories if a factory selected
- a setting in settings to make the button default state (on/off)
- if the feature is ON, AND you have at least one factory selected than you will see the productions of all of your factories in these bubbles.


what do u think?

also QUESTION: should this feature be ON by default in settings?

uos 20

[Stratego (dev)]

also i would like to put in an indication on the bubble that shows the turns left.
any suggestions?

ideas
- putting tiny number on it
- putting dots showing turnsleft value

[LordOfAles]

I don't think that is really neccessary. Those 3 dots in left corner are enough for me.

[Stratego (dev)]

I don't think that is really neccessary.

What do u refer to with "that"?

Dots: you mean the dots ide i wrote? Or are there dots already somewhere?

[Stratego (dev)]

ok i made a numbering, how is it?


uos 20

[Gral.Sturnn]

Very good!!!

I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about turns left for gem rewards.

I have some questions.
1. If I have "writing" tech, can I see my partner's productions?
2. In ramdom map option, if you don't produce anything in town, enemy can see the "!" In that layer .

no

how to reproduce this? (i see no enemy towns being !-ed) or this ment to be the question? if so answer is: no, it should not show "!"
