JTCS 2.0 Patch - Thank You Thread

[Outlaw Josey Wales]

As I mentioned above, the view was in numerical order beginning with 2s and then 3s. That is already the natural order of counting from day one. Now the order is 3s, then 2s, counting backwards. If you added a view, just slip it into the order that was there rather than changing the whole order. The icons at the bottom, I think someone should just try it and see how it would look to put them back to the same size and graphic as they were and add the new ones along the bottom where there appears to be plenty of room. Where your smoke and starshells used to be, you can put the new icons there. I've never heard of any rule saying there could only be one row of icons. That would keep things in the familiar place that everybody is already used to with the newer ones added along the bottom. Right now, and it only took the beginning of one turn for me, they are too small, the graphics aren't recognizable and have to wait for the text to appear and then have to find the one I was looking for. The game still plays the same, that part still rocks, but now it is getting around to the part that does rock is not as easy. The drop down menus and icons where they were are very important and overrides hotkeys, IMO. When one plays many different games or systems and they all have their own menus and hot keys, the menus and icons are much more valuable.

I used to be a Manual Drafter and when that work started slowing down, I started practicing on Autcad and Microstation to keep on working while waiting for more hand drawing to come in. What I did was take a job waiting to be worked on, make a copy of the file and start messing with it, looking for answers and asking questions when I couldn't find the answers I was looking for. The reason I made a copy was if I screwed something up, the original was still there to be worked on if I wasn't ready to dive in yet. I say this because I do think somebody needs to look at it and make a copy of the old or new and create the changes I mentioned and see how it looks. With the copy, the old and new originals do not get messed up while doing this.
