machine override/overload UI
I just noticed when playing traitor AI that the interface for machine overload and override is horrible.
You are just given a list of all things on the station and have to select whatever you want to override/overload.
It's so bad that the ability is almost unusable.

Re: machine override/overload UI
On the topic of new ui, the cargo ui is pretty bad. Having all the crate options on one screen makes it way too big, harder to find what you want and slightly laggy. Also you can't give reasons for ordering crates as far as I can tell

Re: machine override/overload UI
You know there's a filter right? Anyway I didn't make cargo techs give reasons because usually they should approve requests. that's a one line change though. And I'm switching the UI to be tabbed so it loads faster.

The way the search function was implemented simply doesn't work on IE8 and below.
SO UPDATE YOUR FRIGGIN IE.

Re: machine override/overload UI
Nobody uses IE, but you still need it for a lot of things because many programs were built around it.

Re: machine override/overload UI
Yes already found that, but my question remains: Why does clicking the overload/override button give a list of things to overload/override? That list is completely unusable and is confusing.Gun Hog wrote:Right click your target, and select the appropriate verb from the menu.CPTANT wrote:I just noticed when playing traitor AI that the interface for machine overload and override is horrible.

If you don't have it installed, you have IE6 (Built into windows!)
Fancy features need IE9 or more.
Even if you have it on Fancy, if you're not on IE9 or more it just isn't going to work!
