While my previous ideas to improve the trade menu were well received, as usual nobody was willing to implement them, so I did. This is pretty much exactly what proposed - the trade menu is now resolution-dependent. Observe:

1600x1024

http://i.imgur.com/7ZHjnbW.png
640x480

This of course works in any resolution. As a result, this is not optional. I've altered huge parts of that code and have no intention to go the usual 'we make things optional for no reason' route.

I've also added the colouring of items that can't be sold, stacking of additional items and the display of the merchant budget.

The only thing not implemented in the afore-mentioned post is the sector inventory access. As usual, the strategic inventory is not wrapped at all, which means I'd have to recreate that entire thing, which I'd loathe to. Additionally, accessing sector inventory in tactical would cause quite a few internal problems I have no motivation to solve right now.

This has been added to the trunk in r8389 and is fully savegame compatible.



I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.

If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.

In bigger resolutions items may become rather small. Do you plan to introduce a magnifying glass like the one in sector inventory? Great improvement anyway.

Observation: unfortunately the feature freezes the game in 1920x1080 (when you click BUY in any merchant dialogue). This resolution is very useful for 4k monitors and so far I have been play countless hours using this one on 4k monitor. In smaller resolutions the feature works as intended, but visual effect of the game as a whole is not so good.

Eh? I'm playing with that resolution and get no error at all.

Items in shopkeeper inventory aren't bigger or smaller than those in merc inventories. I see no reason to change that.

Well I tried on pure new 8390. The same result at my end. Maybe it`s just Radeon "antymagic" or something connected with my specific configuration, but as I said it works form me in lower res.

Because some people are not happy with a simple clean grey background, and I strongly dislike the Sirtech way of creating backgrounds for huge panels of unknown size - using a smaller image over and over again as if tiling a roof - I've decided to simply generate something different (r8444).

http://i.imgur.com/lPPn5Qf.png

The background is now a texture generated via random noise. The texture is generated anew once every use of an exe. I could also generate it constantly (so we would have a moving, swirling background), but this shall suffice.

If anybody is still unhappy about these colours, let me point out that I can still change my mind and have it simply be neon-pink.

Much better... but why use 3 different colours?

To better tell apart the different areas of the screen.

Legit.

By the way, another old idea made real by you, Flugente.
Thank you, much respect!

Due to the considerable slowdown mentioned in this thread, as of r8457 & GameDir r2385, the trade menu background is no longer generated by random noise, but by cutting out a section of a much bigger picture.

http://i.imgur.com/8C87eOX.png

This should remove any speed issues. The picture used has a size of 3088x2056. This should suffice for resolutions up to ~5544x3540. If you have a screen with a bigger resolution, you need to add a picture with higher dimensions. You are also spending waaaay to much money on monitors.

Keep in mind that you will need the new picture that comes with GameDir r2385 when using the new exe.

Hi,

I modified your trade menu slightly to also show the names of the items, since there are too many (near) identical looking items (e.g. AK variants, some types of ammo boxes, etc.). I increased the height of the inventory boxes slightly (4 pixels) in order to better fit the text. The item text is also slightly overlapping with the item graphic to save space.

Here's a screenshot:

I... have no idea why I missed the above post. It's a very neat addition, good work. Added in r8844.


I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.

If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.
