Re: Equipment installation timeframes
Looks good!
However, I'd be inclined to drop the entries for 10 and 50 Cr as being relatively inconsequential, and add entries for 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 and 50,000 instead. Might be a tight fit, but it really does need to go that high, at least.

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Re: Equipment installation timeframes
In the same way I'd drop the 'seconds' counter, also being inconequential. Spara's HUD would look less cluttered in his example.

And I thought this would be a quickie . I'll squeeze them in and try to make it nice.Diziet Sma wrote:However, I'd be inclined to drop the entries for 10 and 50 Cr as being relatively inconsequential, and add entries for 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 and 50,000 instead.

I'll see how it looks like.SteveKing wrote:In the same way I'd drop the 'seconds' counter, also being inconsequential.

Ok guys. Here's a new try with and without bgs.
Shall I wrap her up?

Done. At least an oxp is available. Oxz will come later...

Looks good. Having that quick reference will be quite useful.
Thanks.

Re: Equipment installation timeframes
... or at least it looked good in the screenshots... less so on the Pandora with Better Screens It's just not legible. (Edit: Also of note is that the pixel density on the Pandora's 4.3" screen is quite high, so the overall effect is somewhat smaller than my screenshot appears on some monitors.)

Re: Equipment installation timeframes
Looks like a special Pandora version is called for. Or perhaps just a change of font colour.. since even on regular computers it's a bit on the dim side.

Re: Equipment installation timeframes
I picked the colour so that it will blend in with BGS using full hd resolution on a 23'' monitor. Looks like I'll better take another look and test it on lower resolution and with Better Screens. Let's see what I can cook up.Diziet Sma wrote:Looks like a special Pandora version is called for. Or perhaps just a change of font colour.. since even on regular computers it's a bit on the dim side.
Re: Equipment installation timeframes
And here we go. Brighter colour, bigger font, rearranged format for better readability. It's more dominant on the screen, but should work a lot better on different backgrounds/resolutions. Could you Neelix, please test this on Pandora and if it works as intended, I'll update it in the expansion manager.

Re: Equipment installation timeframes
It looks better now - almost legible. It's still blurred with artefacts though. For the record my resolution is 800x480

Re: Equipment installation timeframes
About the same as my images above. Tried the lower resolution in a window. Hmm. Is it a colour depth thing or something?Neelix wrote:It looks better now - almost legible. It's still blurred with artefacts though. For the record my resolution is 800x480

Re: Equipment installation timeframes
To test my colour theory, I have created a grey scale 256 colour version to test. Looks like this in my system:
Could you please test this and take a screen shot?
