red boxes in transfer screen
« on: September 11, 2009, 05:15:33 pm »
there are 3 red boxes visible in my bases's transfer screen, and when i move the mouse over them they say
"add string node for table header"
"split warning message outside the textlist"
"add spinners (harder)"
so i guess they aren't supposed to be there ;)

they are still there after loading a game, so i'll attach a savegame, the console.log and 3 screens

Version is r26082 fom Destructavator
OS Windows 7 x86 RC

They are. We call them todo nodes and they say what features/fixes are needed for the gui. Of course we will remove them when we release.
Remember, you're playing with a development snapshot not an official build.

just figured that out myself after posting it *doh* ^^ Nevermind then ;)

I couldn't remember having them in the version i had before, so they seemed odd there :D

That's my fault - They were supposed to be in that previous dev installer I uploaded, except I messed up and compiled the "release" target instead of the "debug" target.  The second, more recent installer I uploaded was done more properly, with the "debug" target which includes the little TODO boxes.

(If that doesn't make any sense because you don't know coding, then just don't worry about it.)

A note, the todo nodes are not displayed by the release binary.
