[DONE][Suggestion] Ability to access Diary from Inventory
« on: September 07, 2024, 06:44:51 pm »
For weapon proficiency awards (i.e. X-Files) current inability to do it requires too much remembering or backclicking into parallel interaface branch (Craft/character->stats).

Sorry if I missed something obvious or already implemented, I'm quite rookie in OXCE and not able to find full changelog for it.

Btw, hello and thanks to devs, past and present, for such great engine!

Additionally I can suggest move "Neutralization by weapon" section (as most important statistic now) to upmost position of "Combat" page, or even make for it separate page within diary (button can be named as 'weapons' for example) ... and then simply call it (and only it, instead of whole diary) from new button on inventory page.

Now it is too much pain to maintain proper weapon professions with increasing amount of soldiers and different transports, as game in megamods like X-files progresses.

Which page or pages do you mean exactly by "Equip/Inventory page" ?

Screenshots please.

Base -> Equip Craft %craftname% -> Equipment -> Inventory (If crew is not empty)

Also, speaking about Diary page, can we please have missions list scroll focus preserved after examining particular one, without resetting it to beginning? Like equipment/research lists do in OXCE.

And adding date to particular mission screen won't hurt either. Because in case of long-bearded veterans we can quickly lost sense of time then clicks on << >> buttons (see last screenshot).

Anyway, welcome to the forum.

OK.
(and it is certainly not the most important statistic now... please don't generalize one mod to the whole of openxcom)

or even make for it separate page within diary (button can be named as 'weapons' for example) ... and then simply call it (and only it, instead of whole diary) from new button on inventory page.

No comment.

I don't see any space left on the screen to put anything more in there (see screenshot).

Thanks.

Just will be nice to have the whole thing in one file, for fast search for example.

Aye. No simple solution then.

In principle date can merge into "time" field, if its format can easily be shortened, eg "dd-mm-yyyy, day|night"

I would also find it helpful if date was added somewhere on that window.

Unrelated: Man that's one giant Ok button lol
