Participation in projects...
Why doesn't your participation in a project end automatically when you leave the area (enter/leave a building or vehicle)?
I often go to the buildings/vehicle menu, see where I want to go, click and then realise my mistake. cancel the project, go back into the buildings menu and then enter the building...

Of course it's the suggestion itself that counts, not whether it can or will be implemented soon.
Maybe adding an 'autodrop'-tickbox associated with any movement button would do the job.
When you tick this box, then click on the movement-button, any running project will automatically be dropped and movement executed. Maybe a message telling the player that a project in fact has been dropped should appear on the next page.
If you don't tick the box (and you are working on a project), an error message will appear, reminding you of the running project.
I personally hate popup-boxes, asking whether i am sure. They should only be used for really important, irreversible actions (like the big X).

Yeah, this is just about moving to accepted suggestions or not ... And it's a nice easy task - good for an aspirant programmer ...

Yeah ProgD isn't exactly inviting. I mean I can see their forums since I'm RD and they haven't posted anything in ages. Talk about a secret club... I mean seriously, you need to be staff before you see those forums so how much danger is there? People could work on code together like teamwork if there wasn't this mentality that you need to prove yourself before you get to see any code.

I was talking about the application process, Seko. What use is there to invite people to help in Cantr if no one takes your petition seriously? I would expect an answer after applying Jan 31, but hey... perhaps I'm being too demanding, who knows? A simply: "No thanks, you are not qualified" would do for me.

Code: Select all
<script>
function dropProject(caller_btn)
{
//check here if the person is working on a project
//if not, return true, else throw the alert
return confirm ('Leaving this area will end your participation on your current project. Proceed anyway?');
}
</script>
//glue to the form opening tag:
onSubmit="return dropProject(this)"
And naturally it would have to show the button even when a person is on project.. and.. do some project dropping on the enter page before it moves the person. Oh yeah and the message should be translatable.
