Title: Traffic light dialog change
Post by: An_dz on March 11, 2012, 06:25:30 PM
The traffic light dialog now have 3 options and we can't make a good translation to show what's in.

So I suggest change the dialog to this:

one problem I have, is with the directions in the game. sometimes I can not remember which way is which.

is it possible to add some directional arrows to indicate directions?
maybe even / hack and \ slash would work?

The big deal is when you rotate. If you rotate once, this will be wrong.

I wonder if the use of a slash and backslash would help:

Quote/ North-South: [__]
\ East-West: [__]

The only caveat would be that the slashes would have to be stored somewhere as a global var, and rotating the map would have to update the slashes as appropriate so if rotated once, it would show"\ North-South: [__]" instead :)


Would that work?

EDIT: AEO already said it and I missed it. So we agree. hehe

North refers always to the direction to top-right. Rotation is not taken into account.

So the ribi change. And the light settings too. Just checked. Awesome.

It just means that it need to change the text position. For 2 rotation views North-South on first option, on other 2 it's in second one.

Yes, please. Some kind of floating or overlay compass. I had suggested it ages ago.
