Just a small tweak would help a lot...

If there is a colon between the unit name e.g. Flash and the unit description e.g. fast assault tank, it would be less likely to cause confusions to players especially newbies.

You can add that colon yourself you know. I wouldn't want that because I prefer to use "Unitname (description)" and a colon would ruin it.

I see... So it's not up to the engine after all.
Sorry, I really know nothing about modding and the engine.

This is actually a good idea nad would make sense for modmakers to put a colon after their unitnames ...

How about a way for modders to define it? In some file in the mod, have something like this:

Code: Select all

[infobox]
  {
  line1="$unitname ($description)";
  line2="Health: $currentHP/$allHP";
  line3="Experience: $experience";
  }

That would allow people to set it up however they want.

I didn't know you could use colons... I'll put that into the next version of NanoBlobs, if it works

[Caydr]

I think E&E has this?

[rattle]

Just put them at the end of the unit name or or beginning of the description, one of the first things I tried and discarded, because brackets are so much cooler...

Hack it in an submit the patch.
