SE4TTV : Version 1.1 available

[Lemmy]

in awe of my superb program the posting rates drop to an all time low...or maybe because of the sloooooow load time...

one thing i forgot to mention, you should edit se4tv.ini, and change the MostRecentlyUsedDir entry to your se4 data dir, or mod data dir.

any suggestions are welcome btw

Suggestions, eh? Well, I didn't actually download your program, but just from looking at the screenshot I can see something it could use... You know how each level of the same tech has its own box? Well, that's going to make the whole tech tree take up a LOT of space! (Imagine the Propulsion tree... shudder!) What I'm suggesting is condensing all the nodes that don't have something branching from them. So instead of this:

Prop I -> Prop II -> Prop III -> Prop IV -> Prop V

By the way, what happens when a tech has 2 or more prerequisites? Do you actually have wild lines going all over the place, or does it just branch from the first one?

Gaah, I accidentally hit send too soon.

OK, what I meant to say is, instead of this

Prop I -> Prop II -> Prop III -> Prop IV -> Prop V ...

you have this

Prop I-IV -> Prop V -> Prop VI -> Prop VII ...
,,,,,,,,|--> HEF Weapons

running wild....for now, and it branches from the first one.
If there then comes a tech which also leads the a tech already "added" to the tree, a line will be drawn between those two techs also, no matter their placement.
Good point btw, i forgot about that one.

hmm, yes, but then when you would click on the Prop I-IV button, the popup window with the listing of the component would contain too much information, about all those 4 techs.
I thought about it when i started, but it would overcomplicate things because then one button should be able to refer to multiple techlevels instead of just one.

This is so cool, i printed the tech tree that was in a txt file by somone, and now i can see it "a la civ2"

great work can't wait for more improvements
