2018 SPWW2 Upgrade Patch

The new in game help screen layout

[Mobhack]

The "flat screen" layout makes it much easier to select the right slot and not mis-click on the one before it (or after it), as I tended to do with the old button-list.

And the (full game) GOTO feature makes it far easier to get to save slots and scenarios that are way down the list than the old click-click-click process. Press GOTO and then enter say 600 and you are at save slot 600 instantly, with item #600 already selected and ready to press ENTER to load/save it, or at least read the description if it's a scenario with no need to press the scenario button to read the scenario text as before. (Press ESCAPE to deselect it if it was not the one you wanted of course).

I also find the flat screen layout far easier to read with my tired old eyes than the old way, as well.

Okay for the left stucked scenario titles, but I prefer with the grey bars,
or maybe do the halfway: let the bars back, but with a color gradient from grey in the left to black to the right?

Well, that's what it's going to look like on release. We are quite happy with the way it works and looks .

NO matter WHAT we do someones going to want it different or back the way it was..... in 20 years that constant has not changed.

Yeah honestly I like the gray buttons better. I don't know, maybe it's just nostalgic feeling, gray metallic bars with thin white threads stringing them together. Feels like actually pressing a button. But not a big deal anyway.

Cheers!

Personally think the list looks lots better - but think the "goto", "load" etc ought to be buttons (to show click area).

Hover the mouse over one, it changes colour and if there is a description, that appears in the information box as with other buttons.

I didn't think so much of the look at first, but am now completely in favour of it after using it.
