Newlines for units description

[Forboding Angel]

Not via a lua gadget, built into the engine. The fact that it isn't there already is jsut sad. It's not as if this is a small issue or one we haven't been fighting for quite some time now.

Why not lua?

[Forboding Angel]

Because it should be a default trait within the engine, not one that has to be added to a new mod.

Conversely, why lua rather than in the engine? It seems rather basic.

I don't even know what you mean by "Newlines for units description". If by that you mean that you think the unit description should be in its own line instead of next to the unit name, separated by a hyphen, like now, then I am strongly against it.

But maybe you mean you want to have new lines in the middle of your unit description? Or something else?

[Forboding Angel]

Yeah in the middle

"This unit is a badass because it does this \n And this \n Oh fuck me, it does this too?!?"

[imbaczek]

fbi/tdf is rather obsolete and nearly deprecated, so i'm not sure if adding such a feature would make sense from an educational point of view

[Forboding Angel]

I use luadefs and I still can't make a newline in the description tag.

I get your point baczek, but the issue still remains.

Does

Code: Select all

[[This is my unit yo.
This is a newline, yo]]

Not work?

Note that that form of strings do not interpret \n in the lua language, (whereas "..." do) so that may be the problem also.
