F5 mission screen

[Screet]

Hi,

is it difficult to add the multiple pages from equipment info also for the f5 mission overview?

The reason is that after scooping many pods the cargo info does use up many lines. Even without cargo and passenger contracts it does only require a few mission oxps to result in an overflow of the text into the HUD area. I don't even need OSE playerstations for this to happen.

Quite difficult. As I said when Lestradae asked, each screen needs to reimplement the gui almost from scratch. (I believe I said 'each screen is a law unto itself'). All told, it took about 3 weeks (and at least 4 different threads) to iron out all the issues connected to the status screen change. Amazingly, it does look as if we managed to get it right though!

I'm well tied up at the moment, but if anyone else wants to have a go, (including the inevitable couple of weeks of testing with all sort of oxps, etc...) they're more than welcome to do so!

PS: there are plans for a complete refactoring of the gui post-MNSR, so there is the very real possibility that the code used to add paging to the mission screen won't be used at all in the bright new future after the next stable release is out.
