Two Company Colours GUI (Work In Progress)

Website · Post by **Lakie** » 18 Dec 2005 03:27

Hi All,

Major Progress update.
I have finished the bulk of the gui, a few things remain but they are optional.
I have added all the code needed to make the tab's work, both checkboxes and dropdown menus.

I just need patchman to finish or help me finish the remapping subroutine.
The gui seems to work with what I've managed to get working. But my understanding of how to check certain things is limited.

Also, I'm thinking about including support for sets to place a icon for the tab (tab that that set applies to). Hopefully I can get this to have 2cc remapping on it. But, I'll see how it goes.

[edit] Attached the Screenshot...

Anyways, Enjoy the Screenshot.
And Comments as always are very welcome.

WoW.

Looks awesome.
Can't wait to have this implemented in.
There is only one thing, which is probably only me, but the x's in the checkboxes give me the feeling that those are disabled rather then enabled.
I think a v shaped checkmark would look better.

Or perhaps you could keep the X, but use a green X for enabled and a red X for disabled.

I think it's fine as is. Excellent work, Lakie. Excellent.

Looks fantastic.

Looks fantastic indeed. About the x: make it white instead of black

Very nice! And I agree with Hyronymus...

i think making the checkboxes sunked rather than raised will look better..

Great!
Will there be also 2 company color support for static features (stations...)? On the other side...using the global scheme is probably enough for stations.

Very cool! Great work!

I don't think it will be expanded to stations and such, I think it's a fine choice as it is.
Becides you need something to identify the real company!

True. I have thought about replacing colors of station signs as they have changed in time without affecting company color. But I can live without it, this new feature is cool even in its current form.

Any chance for sprite 3097?

Website · Post by **Lakie** » 21 Dec 2005 21:06

Final Version for A69 has been finished.

Things to add for the stable (Beta series).
- Support for Grf Tab Icons
- Default XMU to it's default type X if XMU doesn't have a special Scheme (eg DMU, would use Diesel, if no DMU colour Scheme).
- Add support to recolour the sprite drawn onto the Company Window.

Better becareful what you say, George, a sprite cannot have mappings. However the drawn sprite can.

I hope you understood me. So, would it be possible to apply 2CC to that sprite, that is displayed in main company window?

DaleStan · Post by **DaleStan** » 21 Dec 2005 21:56

Possibly, but it wouldn't be useful. That sprite has no CC greens. Without any CC-greens, the 2CC color mappings don't do anything that the 1CC mappings don't.

Patchman · Post by **Patchman** » 21 Dec 2005 22:38

Obviously George would (and I think does) override with somethings that does use 2CC, and I think that'd be useful. It shouldn't be too hard to do, anyway.

George, is that not what point 3 on my list is?
Although it should say 2cc remappings to the sprite drawn on the company window.

btw, the second item on my list has been done.

if it means 2cc, than yes.
