karry Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I did not play Xenonauts until a few days ago, waited for it to be...more ready than it was, essentially. Now i play it, and i see this. Sorry if i sound rude, but WTF ? I look at the soldier list at the base, and the list itself takes 1/3rd of the screen space at best, and there is a giant "manage soldiers" button in the middle. I've seen videos of previous versions, and it was way better. You're telling me it was a deliberate decision ? The screen is basically half-empty, but i have to scroll if i have more than 10 soldiers ? Are you f-ng kidding me ? What kind of clinical idiocy is that ? This isnt some portable Japanese tactical RPG ! You have the bloody screen space ! USE IT ! -Same exact complaint againts research and manufacture screens. Lots of free space - incredibly stupid decision to NOT use it. -Why is there a rather pointless separate vehicles screen, but no screen allowing me to see what i ordered and transferred to the base ? I buy 5 soldiers, i alt-tab, i do other things, i forget. Then i go back and see i still need 5 more soldiers. Or did i order them already ? I have no idea. -Why cant i input hyphens in the naming dialogue ? By default the dropship is named Charlie-1, but i cant rename it to Mason-1 ? -Why cant i throw grenades OVER obstacles instead of IN obstacles ? -Why cant i check my soldier stats in-mission ? -And seriously, was this game made JUST for people with 50-inch monitors ? Because most of the text is so inredibly tiny it is a real strain to read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endersblade Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 You CAN check soldier stats in mission. It's on the equipment ascreen, the backpack looking thing at the bottom of the screen. I play on a 23 inch screen at 1920x1080, and I don't have any issues reading the text. I agree, not letting hyphens in the ship anames is really annoying.

Jasmine Moldovia Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Sorry Kerry but active development by Goldhawk is Over, if you want changes, you need to talk to the modders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenonaut Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I believe there is a mod that did help with the annoying UI. It was a bad decision on GH's part and exactly what I said when I bought the game last week. As I haven't been to the forum very often before buying, I only remember there is a mod somewhere in the modder forum for this UI problem.

Eisfunke Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Karry, please keep this friendly, there's no reason to curse. -Why is there a rather pointless separate vehicles screen, but no screen allowing me to see what i ordered and transferred to the base ? I buy 5 soldiers, i alt-tab, i do other things, i forget. Then i go back and see i still need 5 more soldiers. Or did i order them already ? I have no idea. Well, for the engineers or the scientists there is a number that shows how many are due to arrive, but not for the soldiers, that's kind of a shame, yes. -Why cant i input hyphens in the naming dialogue ? By default the dropship is named Charlie-1, but i cant rename it to Mason-1 ? You're right, that's annoying. If any of the community coders sees this, is that fixable? -Why cant i throw grenades OVER obstacles instead of IN obstacles ? IIRC, you can throw over obstacles if the conditions are right, but I would have to check that. If not, again, if one of the community coders reads this, is this changable? As you already redid the LOS engine? -Why cant i check my soldier stats in-mission ? You can. Select a soldier, open the inventory screen, and in the upper left edge, there it is.
