[Suggestion] Global UFOPedia search
« on: April 15, 2024, 05:37:00 pm »
Right now, you can only search in UFOpedia when you have a general topic (eg BASE FACILITIES or X-COM VEHICLES) selected first.
I would like to be able to search in all available topics by pressing quick search button on this screen (see attachment).
Thank you in advance.

I don't know how to implement this.

You don't see any topics on that screen, there is nothing to search for and nothing to display.

I see, too bad if there are technical limitations, but totally understandable.

When I played XPiratez I had so much trouble memorizing where articles on colored shields where... At that time global search would be very helpful.
BTW, is it possible to put a (*) on a "general topic" when there are unread articles? (On the top most menu, like on screenshot.) Also would save mush time to see what's new.

Since at some point I already was playing around with Tech Tree Viewer code, I will check if it is possible to add Ufopaedia linking into it, such as MMB on topic opens related Ufopaedia article (if exist), for example.

Might be a dumb question but why not just init all topics when loading mods? Or upon opening the UFOpedia.
Nevermind
