Title: Saved games list - battle/globe info, turn info, ordering
Post by: Amunak on July 08, 2012, 09:02:21 pm
Another idea - In the original game, I  was always struggling with the fact that I couldnt recognize which save is from battlescape and which is from geoscape, and in battle which turn is the save I want to load.

In openXcom there's no limit on the number of saves, but still - it would be nice to see what type of safe is what.

Curently the saves are ordered by name, ascending. It should be probably ordered by the real time it was saved (or in-game time and then with the number of a turn in case of battlescape). The only reasonable way to name saves now is with numbers, increasing by now - when it's sorted alphabetically it would be a mess with some fancy names like "nice mission" or "In shit now" :)

Really? I'm sure when I was around here in the early days I saw a screenshot with all the extra info on on the save screen. Maybe that was a mockup. I can't find the screenie now to check, and I've not looked at the same game in the current build.

Really. See the screenshot, it's from the latest build.

Only 02 is from geoscape, and was created before the others.

Must have been a mockup then. I definately remember the conversation, and there was a screenshot with all the information about the highlighted game at the bottom of the screen.

Edit: Found it... See! I'm not crazy!!??! Am I!?  :o  ;D

Oh, nice. I was trying to search for similar idea, but who'd think that it will be in topic called "make openxcom easier" :D

That's definetly what I meant by improving the "load game" screen.

That's just a mockup... so far. ;)
