Code "arrows" in the Design menu for more than 4 pages

Post by Arreon »

If the build, research, and manufacture menus let you scroll between pages if you have more than 4, why not implement that in the Design menu too? The reason I ask is that in Iluvalar's NRS mod, there comes a point where you have more weapons than the Design menu can hold (more than 4 pages). Thus, you can't design units with those weapons anymore.

I asked Iluvalar if this was possible and he said it was hard-coded, so I posted this thread.

Even in an ordinary skirmish, once everything has been researched, there are at least two weapons (light cannon and stormbringer) that are not available because of this.

While I don't miss the light cannon, the storm bringer is quite handy and depending on the research route you take, you may not even see it at all.
