Scrolling through Contracts

Post by davcefai »

On the Contracts page, Oolite displays 5 contracts. When you take one of them another contract seems to scroll up. Often it is a better one.

Is it possible to scroll through the contracts list?

No, unfortunately not. At least not to my knowledge.

And that is sort of a problem on all the screens. E.g. you can write mission briefings of any length. But they too disappear below the bottom of the screen and there is no way to read anything there. No scrolling, nothing. Can become a problem on the F5-screen as well, when you have fitted a lot of equipment, or on the second F5-screen, when you are carrying a lot of different cargo. In both cases the last lines of the screen become invisible below the screen-border.

Is it still the case that you cannot scroll through cargo contracts?

Since it's open source, if you decided to write an OXP to fix it, then it would no longer be the case.

Fixed that for you. Unfortunately, scrolling in the cargo contracts screen is not something that an OXP can do.
