Title: Buildings - Ufopedia-Link
Post by: ufophil on June 16, 2008, 02:38:38 am

It d be nice to have a link to the fitting ufopedia-article in the buildings-menu.
Maybe just a small icon next to it...

Currently such link exists for buildings already build (left click on em).
But
1) the info would be more useful before building
2) the ufopedia-link is not consistent as some buildings (like hangar) have another menu coming up

Cheers
ps: please tell me if such usability requests arent useful or at the wrong place

I've made an easy solution:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1995491&group_id=157793&atid=805244 (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1995491&group_id=157793&atid=805244)

There will be an icon on the building-info panel.

You don't have to (re)compile the game for it, just add the lines marked with '+' to menu_buildings.ufo file.
(This file is in %gamedir%/base/ufos/. But you may need to extract it from %gamedir%/base/0ufos.pk3 - which is a zip.)
