Tiny bug report...
« on: June 16, 2009, 03:18:43 pm »
Tiny bug report:

On 1100 x 850 resolution (with window toolbar enabled), in the Game Setup screen, the tooltip describing Simple Available Ships gets cut off on the bottom of the window.  Same happens to Astro Trains & Heavy Defense tooltips.  Also, if you mouse up and down between Astro Trains, Cloaking and Heavy Defense the tooltips seem to go into a flicker frenzy.

And feature request:

In the game set-up screen, could we get a tooltip with the ship description when mousing over starting spots?   Once I get more game time under my belt, I will probably not need it, but it's great for beginners.

EDIT: oh, and make right click de-select planet if clicked anywhere on the map, not just the selected system.  Probably not needed anymore, since you don't need to first deselect to change spots, but still. :)

Thanks for letting me know, I'll check that out and get a fix in there.

Great idea!  Why didn't I think of this... :)

Hmm, I'd be more worried about accidental clicks here.  Just clicking the nodes to set/unset seems consistent with other RTS games to me...  I don't know, what does everybody else think?  I'm going to leave this on my "maybe" list unless there's a lot of support for this one.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Seems unnecessary, though I understand the suggestion as unselecting is one of those habits you develop.
