feature request: introduce scroll-over help for tech tree

Post by raymond »

Hello WZ-team,

1) it is possible to introduce scroll-over help for tech tree in the game?
If you mouse over the research, you can see what reseaches are unlocked.

2) full tech tree visible directly in the game via hotkey in full screen (with icon for the unit and building).

Interesting, I am very puzzled that the wz team haven't already introduced this. So, sadly it might not be possible... the first idea is very clever, however.

actually it isn't scroll over - it is a click on the info button in the bottom left hand corner, which will open a screen to let you see what researches have been done already. if you can code, perhaps do up some scroll over stuff for the game... always looking for new talent. :)

Do you have any idea how much space a full tech tree would take? There are a huge number of technologys and the many interconnected relations make a web that is very hard to visualize.

The tool-tip idea is good though :)
In general, if you see glowing, pulsating things in the game, you should click on them.

Yes I know: http://guide.wz2100.net/r/tech-tree

But you can split this page into (maybe) 3 pages and using a page up and down or cursor to navigate through this pages.

as i remembered Civilization 4 has around 70 tech in their tree and it would take this long

TT

now how long 400 would took place?, probably it could be done if it divided to 9 view {WeaponT1,WeaponT2 ... EngineeringT3} and limit user view based on what Tier they're in
