Title: [done] Scenario Summary
Post by: MightyMic on 18 January 2013, 16:27:34

I was looking for a scenario to play today, and I noticed that the only thing that gives an explanation of what the scenario is like is the name and difficulty. A brief summary of each scenario would be helpful when looking for one to play

"Defend yourself against hoards of angry ladies" for Amazones (and I don't know if that's even spelled correctly)

And while we're at it, the scenario is misspelled. It's "Amazons".

Please offer some detailed ideas of what anyone would like to see regarding this feature. I can code but would prefer a more detailed specification as to what people want to see.

On the scenario screen, shift up the image, and after the techtree line, have a section for the description. Probably best to make this a text area with a scrollbar, as descriptions could be quite lengthy.

That's pretty much how I was imagining it

I made 2 Desgin concepts for this:

The first is very similary to the old one:

Code: [Select]

The second strechs the loading_screen - Image to be background. Could have advantages for complex scenarios like Lord of the Land.

Code: [Select]

I think I like this implementation the best. It shows the image well and gives plenty of room for a summary  :thumbup:

This design would need a rework of about 90% of the loading - screens. But I like it much more.

I programmed the changes.

Useage:
if the language-file has a line like

Code: [Select]

DESCRIPTION=I'm a description.\nI'm the second row of the description.the description is displayed in the scenario menu (or tutorial menu, works both).

Here is a template for creating new loading_screens (the gray part is the loading menu / the green part is the menu)
