Station single line on the property list

Post by RondoX4 »

First off I want to express my appreciation for all the hard work EgoSoft has put into the latest 9.0 update!

I have put in an ungodly amount of hours playing X4 and am at a point I want start a fresh game.
Even without expanding [+] any items on the property list of Stations, Fleets and unassigned ships the list becomes enormous!

That's why I had created a mod to list station names in a single line instead of having to view the station name and station sector in the block of two lines.
I always include the sector name on the first line in the station name.
So the sector name on the second line is redundant and just takes up space on the list.
I knew all my 20+ bases well enough not to really need all the extraneous ship info that was included on the right.

An extremely capable mod developer ChemODun was absolutely instrumental in providing me a ton of assistance in getting the mod completed.
He was wise enough to make me deal with the code and testing so I could learn.

Now to the point.

With the update of course my existing mod no longer functions.
With my old communication logs, notes and comments I had made in the mod
I attempted to create a new mod, using the old tried a true
u/i, addons, ego_detailmonitor and the huge menu-map.lua.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to repeat my success.

I think that eliminating the second line for at least the stations would streamline the management of stations
and should be a game option and many players would use and love it if they had that option.
However, on a realistic level I don't think EgoSoft would invest the time an expense to bother with it.
So now my only hope at this point is the development of a new mod.

Removing the line works for you because of the way you name your stations. For anyone else using a different naming scheme it would likely cause problems. Since we can't realistically create options for every possible naming scheme people might come up with, this really is something for a mod to deal with, so I've moved this over to the Scripts and Modding forum for you. :)

For anyone keeping track of my issue, I am happy to report that I have been able to get the stations_single mod functioning as in the previous game version. You may contact me via a post to this issue and we can figure out a way to get this mod to you.
