hopeless-ponderer Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Github repo: https://github.com/Mare-Nostrum-0AD/popup_choices Zipfile: popup_choices.1.zip Hey everyone! Here's a new feature I've been planning to create for a while. It allows Scenario designers to include "popup choice" menus in their trigger scripts. These popup choice menus can have up to three buttons, with each button (optionally) triggering a function when it is clicked. This allows you to create scenarios with storylines and more interesting scripted events, and also to display information to the player during gameplay (i.e. a "Historical Background" blurb at the beginning of the scenario). The instructions for how to use this are contained in the README.md of the github repo and zipfile I linked to above. I included an example script at maps/scenarios/demo_popup_choices_triggers.js. To try out the scenario, go to the Scenario selection menu, filter by Demo maps, and look for DEMO: Popup Choices. You'll have to know at least a little JavaScript to use this feature, of course. I know a lot of you here aren't coders, so I'll try to build a "template" scenario script and a library of functions for simple use cases to make this as accessible as possible to everyone. I'm also willing to help people build their scenarios, as long as it's just a small or medium sized project. I'm also including this feature in my other mod, Mare Nostrum, from now on. I hope y'all can make some interesting scenarios with this! 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More seriously, this seems like an interesting feature for vanilla, mind to make a diff on Phab (if it is different enough from ordinary message boxes)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More seriously, this seems like an interesting feature for vanilla, mind to make a diff on Phab (if it is different enough from ordinary message boxes)? Yeah, of course! I have a few ideas I'd like to submit actually, I was just waiting until after A25 was released. I still need to learn how to use Phabricator though. Do I need to use SVN to submit diffs, or can I generate patches with git? I'd prefer to use git if I can, I already do most of my work on the Github mirror. There's already a git-formatted patch located at dev/patch, btw, which forks from master at the commit saved in dev/git_base.txt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freagarach Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 You can just upload diffs generated with git, @wraitii has that workflow. Send the diff to a file, and upload that on to Phabricator. Mind to add context, though. (See also https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Phabricator.)

hopeless-ponderer Posted August 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Alright, thanks @Freagarach, that sounds easy enough. I'll set up my account and add some documentation, and hopefully have it up later tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
