minor change in building menu

Postby bmartes » Tue Oct 16, 2007 7:10 am

When I want to make an axe and I don't have a hammer, you can use the new building menu in this way:


<pre># axe
* PROCEED
* Days needed: 1
* hammer
o PROCEED
o Days needed: 1
o 65 grams of wood
o 40 grams of steel
* or stone hammer
* or bronze hammer
* 400 grams of wood
* 150 grams of steel
* iron anvil
* or bronze anvil</pre>


The resources used for the axe are below the menuitem of the hammer.
Maybe we can change it in this way that the resource of the axe is above the menuitem of the hammer, in this way:
<pre>
# axe
* PROCEED
* Days needed: 1
* 400 grams of wood
* 150 grams of steel
* hammer
o PROCEED
o Days needed: 1
o 65 grams of wood
o 40 grams of steel
* or stone hammer
* or bronze hammer
* iron anvil
* or bronze anvil
</pre>

I now, it is a little change and maybe with a lot of programming, and I know I'm lazy... :wink:

To get a better view of the stuff you need. That's all.
Now It looks like the wood and steel for the axe belongs to the hammer.

Does it really list resources under the tools? Since in projects it's the other way around. Indenting makes the lines stand out clear enough but generally parts of the interface that have similar items should always have the items in the same order. (*cough*back buttons*cough*) I'm not sure which would be better, having tools on top like there or at the bottom like in projects. But anyway, the order should be the same in both.
