What do you think about this "menu-structur" for the help window? (Sorry in German)

The structure might be ok, but the ASCII lines are so outdated...

sojo

I know it is not modern and really not nice. :)

If you do ASCII, then like this. BUt I would not use ASCII art personally.


+ Simutrans
++Neue WElt
|+Laden

I have try to use + and |. It looks not good. I havn't see structure with it.

for my note taking purposes, I use "-" and "˪" (U+02EA, Modifier Letter Yin Departing Tone Mark)

Just give paragraph numbers with a tab like:

1 Einstellungen
   1.1 Sprachauswahl
   1.2 Spielerfarbe
   1.3 Anzeige
   1.4 Sound
   1.5 Spieler Menu
         1.5.1 Passwort
   1.6 Lade menu
   1.7 Speichern menu
   1.8 Neue welt
         1.8.1 Einstellungen
         1.8.2 Landschaft
         1.8.3 Lade Relief
                  1.8.3.1 Scenario spielen


etc.

Combuijs' proposal may be the best one, unless we manage to have a graphical (!= ASCII) structure...

sojo

This should look nice, but possible is it not. The help files can not have more than one spacing.

So you have all numbers in a line. This looks not so good.

Edit: ˪ is not possible. Simutrans make a ?

if it's possible to use colour, then I guess you could just keep the current format of "-" marks
- Einstellungen
- - Sprachauswahl
- - Anzeige
- - Sound
- - Spieler Menu

I used white against this forum background, but there should be a more appropriate colour for simutrans.

Just have a look at the japanese help file: http://simutrans-germany.com/translator/script/edit.php?obj_id=25012&version=10&obj_type=help_file#ja

The entries are grouped in several catergories, seperated by < it > sections. I would also skip any symbol for the highest order entries. Outside of the sections are:

keys
main menu

Game creation
New Welt
+ settings
+ climates
Sever
Load/Save

Game Operation
Finances
Depots
Convois
+schedules
Stops
City Info
Factory Info
...


Toolbars
Landscaping Tools
Rail Tools
+ signal spacing
Road Tools
+ traffic lights
Tram Tools
Ship Tools
...

Lists
Line window
Player List
+ schedules
Lists
+ citylist
+ convoilist
++ convoiinfo
+ haltlist
...

Others
whatever fits not to the above
