14:12:43 <Alberth> interesting, BuildVehicleWindow has a "descending_sort_order", but false means descending :)
14:18:23 <Alberth> unless the comment of _internal_sort_order is wrong
14:18:54 <Alberth> which is of course very much possible :)
14:19:42 <frosch123> i think sometimes we also invert the meaning of descending/increasing
14:20:14 <frosch123> it defaults to false or something, but some lists shall default to the other order or something
14:20:39 <frosch123> maybe the town list
16:57:11 *** Zuu has joined #openttd.dev
16:58:03 <frosch123> what buttons do you have in mind?
16:58:11 <frosch123> filtering on the left makes no sense
16:58:22 <frosch123> or do you mean sorting?
16:58:58 <Alberth> sorting or filtering could be useful
16:59:05 <frosch123> btw. did you try the NO_SHADOW as in the order gui?
16:59:14 <frosch123> i would expect that to look better
16:59:32 <frosch123> filtering for cargo is already done implicitly
16:59:42 <frosch123> it only offers wagons for replacement that share some cargo
17:01:37 <Alberth> the UI is not that intuitive, but that would imply almost a redesign of the window
17:01:53 <frosch123> yeah, different patch :p
17:02:07 <frosch123> esp. the railtype and engine/wagon thingie is weird
17:02:20 <frosch123> not to mention the arbitrary company colour panels at the bottom
17:02:22 <Alberth> sorting would perhaps be useful?
17:02:24 <frosch123> or the remove-wagon toggle :p
17:02:36 <frosch123> i think there is a fs about sorting in autoreplace gui
17:04:27 <Alberth> phew, was afraid you could click at the company colour panels, but not :p
17:08:28 <frosch123> diffs are only copy&paste though
17:12:07 <Alberth> yeah, just sorting of engines so you can easily find the strongest/cheapest/etc
17:12:11 <frosch123> aw, loaded an old pre 0.6 savegame, and it asserts after 4 days :/
17:12:59 <Alberth> save game version 103, when was that? :)
17:13:18 <Alberth> it looks like one of the first games that I made :)
17:13:51 <frosch123> savegame.cpp has all the savegame versions with revisions
17:15:06 <frosch123> maybe if adding the show all and sorting to the right list
17:15:22 <frosch123> the railtype + engine/wagon could be moved to the left
17:15:27 <frosch123> they are kind of a filter for the left list
17:16:07 <Alberth> instead of below? good idea
17:17:48 <Alberth> saveload.cpp, and post 0.6 :)
17:38:53 <Zuu> On my screen, I like the right-hand side solution. But then I finally throw out my low-contrast screen haf a year ago and replaced with a propper screen that don't burn my eyes when stairing at code. :-)
17:39:32 <Zuu> But I can see that it may give problem for those using a low-contrast screen.
17:40:05 <Zuu> Or playing on a phone in the sun.
17:41:06 <planetmaker> oh... hidden vehicles. Alberth the rhs view looks nicer (without the shadow effect)
17:41:40 <Alberth> yeah, it's nicer, but harder to see under bad conditions
17:42:01 <Alberth> perhaps we can use a custom colour :)
17:42:06 <planetmaker> well... I saw that. But really... we don't optimize for phone, do we?
17:42:10 <Zuu> Though, in good condition, the rhs is easier to see.
17:42:28 <planetmaker> I find the shadowed font very hard to read
17:42:44 <planetmaker> it's like putting a blur filter over it
17:43:51 <planetmaker> making it bad for all is not a good solution when only those with bad displays see it worse for the good solution
17:44:34 <planetmaker> I really find the shadow on the font appalling, sorry
17:45:05 <Alberth> yeah yeah, I am with you, just a little worried about the low contrast
17:45:33 <Zuu> A slightly stronger grey would be good, but I guess there aren't a better pick in the pallet.
17:45:52 <planetmaker> we've lots of low contrast... alternatively just change the *background* to a different gray tone for those
17:46:14 <frosch123> the right side is the same as with implicit orders, noone complained about that contrast :p
17:46:33 <planetmaker> if that's the same, then it's no issue, I think
17:46:46 <frosch123> background colors and text colors are very limited (which is a good thing), so there are no other greys :)
17:47:22 <Alberth> nobody reads implicit orders? :)
17:47:36 <Alberth> yeah, it's TextColour, not easy to change
17:49:29 <planetmaker> David Hofstadter explains them with mu muu muumumu (or very similar) :P
17:50:36 *** keoz has joined #openttd.dev
17:58:35 <Zuu> planetmaker: Thats an interesting way to describe colour. ;-)
18:00:07 <planetmaker> I guess... though he also talks about colour... but not in terms of mu muu muumu :)
19:57:56 *** Alberth has left #openttd.dev
continue to next day ⏵
