I didn't know that GG::Button could be used that way. I can give it a shot if necessary.

Re: How to display wasted PP/RP

I think the dotted lines work better to represent wasted PP rather than using other colors. And the circles are great.

But can a player know how much PP another player is spending ? If not, how do you know that the red empire has some wasted PP ? Is it only for the mockup ?

Re: New icon for wasted PP/RP

Here is the new patch. Now icons are on the left, clickable, and a tooltip summarize the overall and wasted production.

Re: How to display wasted PP/RP

I improved the icons : now there is a tooltip and clicking them will open the production/research menu. I still have to open the production menu to a planet with unused PP (for now, the action is similar to just clicking the "Production" button).

Your modification worked, and new I got the tooltip and the click working. I'll post a patch once I'll have ironed out the details. Thanks.

Re: New icon for wasted PP/RP

So I still have some issues with the UI. I tried to add a tooltip, but it is still not appearing. Here is my code in the constructor of MapWnd: m_industry_wasted = new GG::StaticGraphic(GG::X0, GG::Y0, ICON_WIDTH, GG::Y(Value(ICON_WIDTH)), ClientUI::GetTexture(ClientUI::ArtDir() / "icons" ...

New icon for wasted PP/RP

As discussed here : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6971

The icons appear and disappear, but there is no tooltip and no effect on click.

Re: How to display wasted PP/RP

Here is my first try. The icon are updated each time the production queue or research queue is updated, and disappear when no points are wasted. There is no tooltip yet, and clicking on it does not open any windows. But this gives the idea. For those interested, I put the patch on the programing for...

Re: How to display wasted PP/RP

I'd rather not add multiple numbers to the default appearance of the resource statistics, in part due to layout / space issues, and partly to keep the display simpler and the noted ambiguity of X / Y. Perhaps there could be an exclamation mark type icon that appear over / to the left of the resourc...

Re: How to display wasted PP/RP

⚙ 120 /200 I think it would make more sense to display the actual production used over the total production possible. If this is a global summary of your empire, you probably want to aim for the bigger number and not for 0. In your example, 120 PP are used and 80 are lost. Maybe we can add a toolti...

How to display wasted PP/RP

Several suggestions of improvement on the wiki involve improving the UI to deal with wasted PP/RP. I know this is something that I forget to keep track off regularly, so I'dl like to see if I can do something about it. The modification I was thinking of is to add a new icon and/or text in the main U...

Re: Auto-explore function

Possibly; you should always provide patches that are relative to the latest SVN; make sure to update frequently and do any manual merging that's required. Noted I've already committed a modified version of patch 4, so I'll just update the comment, unless you changed anything else? Yes, the line jus...
