[done] Scenario Summary

[MightyMic]

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)

[Omega]

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:

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 

[MuwuM]

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

[MuwuM]

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).

Thumbs up

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