Scrollable Mission Texts
« on: September 12, 2014, 07:58:57 AM »

This is a very simple suggestion and probably ought to be in last place on the priority list, but should also be very easy to implement.

The thread title more or lest explains everything, so the question is why? For purely selfish reasons! >:D Missions are not really supposed to be walls of texts in the briefing, and I suppose most briefings are... brief as opposed to long winded stories. However, I'm going to ask for the sake of such long winded and thoroughly mod-bound mission descriptions that mission briefings be given the capacity to scroll their main texts.

Ontop of this, I'd like to see the ability to add custom images to a mission's description. I realise that you can already assign a custom image to your missions. But that offers little more than space for a small icon. Being able to add an image that adds to the briefing info would be great. This could allow for a tactical battleplan, a representation of the mission's area, etc.

But like you've stated yourself Hyph, this sort of thing is low on the priority list at the moment. Still, its good to put ideas like this out there!

This would be nice :). I imagine a mod that has "chapters" of story in the briefings, followed by key battles.

That is exactly why I suggested this ;D

Yeah, the whole missions thing needs to be updated at some point. I mean, it works, but looking at it now, it's a dinosaur :)

Too much effort, probably, but it would be cool in the far future
