kind of new here

Here, various developers can tell you all about what they're up to, so you can yell at them for being idiots. "... and there was a great rejoicing."

kind of new here

#1 Post by stpa » Mon Mar 12, 2018 1:30 pm

Hi. A long time ago (I think at least 3 years) I added that right click context menu for galactic map and nothing else and then disappeared. Now I'm back. First thing I did now was to add a column to the census report with the number of worlds, see attached screenshots. Looking foreward to adding some more little things before eventually getting bigger things done … if I do not disappear again, that is.

Great, I like it.
Time to get in touch with the @devs, submit PRs and all that stuff.

Yes, they did with me ^^ and of course I release the screenshots in this thread and all code & other contributions under GPL v2 (or compatible licence, at the discretion of the FreeOrion team), and I promise to use better indentation in my coding and I will comply with branch naming conventions et cetera, and thank you for liking it

Next thing, I did a little in-game indentation fixing in addition to indentation in the codebase. The Planet suitability report looked broken, when resizing the Pedia-window it seemed like too many tab signs \t, like in the attached screenshot. Which annoyed me, because in the official download 0.4.7.1 (build 2017-09-03.139ffd9) which I was play(test)ing before it was not broken, so I fixed it. At least for me. No idea how that gets rendered on other platforms since I've got only a mac. But I guess the devs will know how to test on multiple platforms …

Headings indicating what the columns display would be helpful...

I have added the name of the planet of origin to the worldtree special's accounting label for the happiness effect on other planets, which was missing before, and I just wanted to know where the effect came from. This also has helped me to get to know how speciels and effects are handled in general.

Yes, that's a good catch, please put up a PR for it.
If I provided any code, scripts or other content here, it's released under GPL 2.0 and CC-BY-SA 3.0
