Depot dialog size September 26, 2010, 02:27:15 am Playing Simutrans I found that the Depot dialog needs to be bigger. If you look in the image above you can clearly see that the text appear outside the dialog.Also I marked the top speed is shown on the side of Power.I think that the size should be bigger to fit all strings. And if it become bigger, maybe we can change the string to add Top Speed as a new line, like in this example:And also change the order of the lines if a trailer is selected like in this example:I think that changing the order that way both trailer and engine became look alike, I prefer the power over the speed cause than the "capacity" is 1 line over making you find out when a trailer is selected. Here's a compare:I know that I can resize the dialog manually, but it's so ugly seeing that a dialog needs to be resized to fit it's content.I'm not a programmer, I did some programming but ridiculous. Anyway I don't think it's hard to code it, it's just a size. Maybe the change of line in the trailer may get some problem, but I think it won't take long.I also think that some space should be added for all numbers stay in a row. I tested it right now and it worked cool, if you want to test too here are the strings:QuoteLOCO_INFO%s\nCost: %d$ (%1.2f$/km)\nPower: %dkW\nTop Speed: %dkm/h\nWeight: %dt\nQuoteLOCO_CAPCapacity: %d%s %s\nQuoteWAGGON_INFO%s\nCost: %d$ (%1.2f$/km)\nCapacity: %d%s %s\nWeight: %dt\nTop speed: %dkm/h\n Quote Selected
Re: Depot dialog size Reply #1 – September 26, 2010, 02:37:47 am Changing this string would require lots of translations to be done. But then stuff could be joined for cars and locos and fine tuning can be made easier. I am not sure about topspeed, since it is already shown.And there is a problem: This screen is already almost too large for an iPhone screen. So probably tooltips would be better to use here.

On trailer only the order is changed, you only need to copy paste. And in the engine only Top Speed is added, you only need to copy paste from the trailer where it's shown. I can do it for all languages if you're busy.Quote from: prissi – on September 26, 2010, 02:37:47 amAnd there is a problem: This screen is already almost too large for an iPhone screen.

Re: Depot dialog size Reply #3 – October 01, 2010, 11:04:08 pm Prissi is something being made for this?At least moving the Reselling Value?Also about iPhone it needs some testing, the screen size in iPhone 3 and older is 320 x 480 at 163 ppi, on iPhone 4 it's 640 x 960 at 326 ppi.Only changing screen size at simuconf.tab to these values can be a test for iPhone?And what about iPad? The screen is bigger, this one can stay with normal dialogs. Quote Selected

Re: Depot dialog size Reply #6 – October 05, 2010, 05:18:19 am I changed the German and English translations. You can submit the changed strings as suggestions at the translator site. Maybe you have to log out to be able to so. Quote Selected
