Idea: Bridge Preview (concept)

[yochenhsieh]

Hello,
I'm not sure if this kind of feature has been made before. Now we have lots of bridges and some of them bearing similar names, I wonder if it's possible to make a bridge preview in quick battle setup? Concept pic below (not real thing, just an idea):

[Morgan]

I imagine it's possible.  The Interstellar Library from KM has icons for each race, so I image doing something like this would be similar.  I don't know enough to do it, and our remaining scripters might have things going on of their own.  Still a cool concept.

[Lurok91]

Excellent concept 

I imagine it would involve creating 'small' icons/tga files for each bridge, probably in a separate folder.  And script direct to that folder.

But a great idea.

[FekLeyr Targ]

A great idea indeed. Never thought about that.

[Tethys]

I think this can be done. I have messed with Interstellar Library, so I know a little about how that file goes. The clue on getting it implemented would come from the ship icon right above "Ship Description", as this will need to be copied, and a def created for the widget (blank space which holds our bridge preview icons).

Definitely sounds doable, and fairly simple. Fairly. I shall give this an attempt this weekend. Can you provide some images perhaps? I simply have no time to do it as I will be focused on scripting. If anyone could create some.. Galaxy and Sovereign bridge images for now should work. I have looked over the Quick Battle script. Very long, drawn out file. A few more lines shouldnt hurt yeah?

[Tethys]

Looking deeper, there are actually 2 quick battle types, at least in my install. One is under a Custom submenu in the Mission selection menu called QuickBattleGame, the other one is Quick Battle. The one you have pictured is of Quick Battle, which is indeed the longer file. I'll give it a go and see what I come up with.

[Tethys]

I believe I have most of the necessary code in place in the QuickBattle.py. I successfully moved the Ship Icon to the test location. After changing some names around we are now ready to create a subfolder in the Icons folder and fill it up with icons, then figure out how to grab the strings by name (which is what I am now working on). For now, a blank space lies in our test location. Folder has been cloned from the Races icons, with the icons within being renamed to Sovereign.tga, Galaxy.tga, etc just to get the naming system implemented and coded. I am not sure whether or not a Bridges.TGL will be required at this time, but possibly.

[Tethys]

Update: It seems I will have to add some code to the Foundation.py (have done some, but incomplete/untested at this time), and I am still having trouble linking the iconName with the new folder containing the new icons. I cannot seem to find the code responsible for grabbing the location of the ships icons, therefore I cannot complete the project at this time. I did successfully clear out some space for the icon, and created a glass pane with a blank space in the QB Setup XO menu, next to the bridge list, underneath the systems/regions selection pane. If anyone wants to have a look, I can upload the modified files for download. I do think this is still very possible; a majority of the work has been done to implement the bridge preview, however it now needs the touch of a seasoned scripter to complete.

Edit: My thought is that perhaps some code needs to be added to the bridges in the scripts\Custom\Autoload folder and/or elsewhere

Update 9/3/18: I believe I have located the scripts that control where the icons are to be located. When I get some time, I will see if I can add a script for locating the bridge preview icons. If all goes well, you should be hearing from me again soon.

[Haxxor1337]

 

I'll revive this thread 

I've had the same idea for a long time 

My current menu:

[FekLeyr Targ]

And the bridge preview will be placed on the empty spot beside the bridge menu?

By the way: Is this original quickbattle or quickbattle replacement (QBR)?

[Haxxor1337]

And the bridge preview will be placed on the empty spot beside the bridge menu?

Yes! 

By the way: Is this original quickbattle or quickbattle replacement (QBR)?

BCDir/scripts/QuickBattle/QuickBattle.py

QBR = BCDir/scripts/Custom/QuickBattleGame ?

[Haxxor1337]

 

example:


Ambassador:


Voyager:


Sovereign:

[Mario]

So this is a concept or?

[Mario]

Anything else other than 128x128, 256x256... is useless as an icon for BC. The initial suggestion is not that difficult to do as well. Though I don't understand why Foundation at all needed to be changed?

Use this patch to adjust to your linking. Enjoy.

this is a neat idea!

and i really like Haxxor's QB Menu setup!  that looks so much better!

Can you fixed the position for the Bridge Icon?

Tomorrow i will Upload a Beta version 

Test:

Another pane needs to be added which overlays the bridge pane but is in a fixed position and is not scrollable. When I have time I'll check it out.

Can't say that I agree with 2 different versions. 256x256 should just be a standard then and expected icon size and the graphics should resize itself accordingly to changing game resolutions.

So then:
1. Use 256x256 icons (moved to data\Icons\Bridge\Previews)
2. Bridge preview icon is now "stickied"
3. Bridge icons should resize themselves for appropriate window height, which now they do
