Feature Request: Setting Labels

[Zutty]

Hi all,

I know its late in the day for feature requests but this is something that I think might make AIs a bit easier to use and help make NoAI feel more polished.

It would be nice if we could specify labels for settings such that the AI config window displays those labels (if provided) instead of the raw numbers. Something like...

Code: Select all

AddSetting({name = "aggro" description = "Aggression", min_value = 0, max_value = 1, easy_value = 0, medium_value = 0,
 hard_value = 1, custom_value = 1, flags = 0, labels = {0 = "Off, 1 = "On"}});

It would be nice to have "Low", "Medium", "High", etc.. instead of rather arbitrary looking 0...5 values. It would be especially useful though for stuff like "On" and "Off" for boolean 0, 1 values or for more abstract things that don't really represent continuous settings, e.g. if you wanted the player to be able to specify what cargo types are used you might want labels like "None", "Mail", "Mail & Goods", "All Cargo".

I know all the devs must be busy right now, and I can't imagine I'm the first person to think of or suggest this, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Thanks.

For boolean values, try using

Code: Select all

AddSetting({name = "some_bool" description = "Aggression", easy_value = 0, medium_value = 0,
 hard_value = 1, custom_value = 1, flags = AICONFIG_BOOLEAN});

For the other settings, I agree it would be nice, but I'm not sure how it can be implemented. I'll think about it.

Oooh I didn't know that. I might put this in the wiki (assuming it isn't already there!).

Please read your pm.

Thanks for the explanation. Some stuff in there I wasn't aware of!

Replied to your PM too.
