Question: Sometimes my sidepane is a scrollable page and sometimes the scrollbar is only on the effects. Is this intentional or an oddity with my browser (FF5)?
When the scrollbar is on the effects only and the "recent areas visited"-list gets a bit long, such as when you visit all four parts of the haunted wine cellar (2 lines for each entry in my setup), the effects box gets so small that it only shows 1 entry at a time, which makes it hard to read...
bordemstirs hit the nail on the head. If vertical space is an issue you want to move bricks out of the fixed areas (roof and floor), and move them into either the walls or the toolbar. (the "trail" brick works well in the toolbar, especially if you also add the last adv link to the stats section for quick access). You can also try moving everything to the roof (leaving the walls blank).
An additional layout value which allows certain buffs to be displayed separately (identical to the "songs" value, but for different effects) - if this could be for any user-defined effect, that'd be cool, but if there needs to be a specific list, I'd vote for effects such as SR windows, other timers/counters, On the Trail, and Wanged.
If you want them displayed in a separate section, like songs and intrinsics, that's not possible at the moment. I toyed around with the idea of user-defined groups for a while, but it never quite came together. Having the effects split up into more sections and displayed out-of-order seemed more distracting than useful. I might have another look at this some time in the future, but probably not soon.
If you only want them to be
styled differently (to make it easier to spot them in a list of effects), then chit_effects.txt is where you should look. You can specify custom styling for
any effect there, and the effects listed there already should provide enough examples to get you started.
if chit.effects.usermap = true it will attempt to load chit_effects_yourname.txt instead. (useful if you play with multiple characters on the same PC)
Give us a preference over what to do when clicking on buff maintenance links (the up arrows) - for example, in aftercore, I would love to get my buffs from a bot rather than waste my own MP.
That's something I'm very unlikely to implement. Your best bet is to file a FR for this to be implemented in mafia itself.
Anyway, I LOVE THIS.
Would it be too much trouble to add adventures and meat to the options for the Stats section (and likewise similar options to have them removed from the Character section, though really it wouldn't bother me too much to have them appear in both)?
I'm gonna put this on the back-burner for now. It's not really something I want to do, but if enough people want the feature I'll reconsider.
