Mod: Sections in Item Browser V1

[Wobak]

hi, this is a small mod that allows to put the objects in sections (or rather put labels between objects). i made it because the browser is rather chaotic with totally different objects being listed after eachother. it took some time to make because i modified the wrong name variable at first
you create a label/by putting this in the object list:

Code: Select all

addSection('Tab','Section');

e.g.

Code: Select all

addSection('O2','Dog Tools');

ingame it will look like that:


i did this by making an new addSection function from a simplified addItem function.

if you want the section support plus an O2 list with sections(that came with the alpha), extract into Overgrowth.
if you just want the section support, only copy the spawner.html file into data\UI\spawner\

v1 is done, i corrected the spaces and the halfway-correct dynamic width. ive also changed the color for better visual clarity. you can see how it looks now in the image above.

here are the files:

I love you. It would be useful to have a list of sections at the top that take you to that section, like on wiki articles. Thanks for making this!

[Silverfish]

Last needs to get this into his tab mod!

[adwuga]

Agreed.

That's pretty awesome! It would be a great addition to Last's tab browser for sure! Maybe you guys can coordinate on that a bit...

[Korban3]

Do I sense overwhelming amounts of awesome emanating from this mod? I believe I do. Yes, last's tab mod could benefit from this quite a bit. Collab wut?

[Markuss]

much needed addition

[Wobak]

thanks for the comments
ive pretty much finished the first version except for the dynamic width which is not really correct (i coudnt figure out how to convert the widthvalue to a number).

about making linkable section: i want to add something along this line in the next version: expandeable/minimizeable section. that might take some though..

one question about the forum: is the downloadnumber for attachments correct? if it is how come that mods generally have many comments but are actually download very few times?

if you edit your post and deleted old file and upload a new file then download counter resets. It onley happens when you delete old file.

Keep in mind that 1 picture can tell you 1000 words.

Oh and if you want you can make a update to this mod useing my item browser mod. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=13335#p148153
This mod adds almost all objects into O2 tab- yes there are still some objects missing files so i can't add those into it.
Also for newcomers that O2 tab in item browser is originaly made by me (includeing most of the icons in that tab) And jeff was able to merge that mod into original builds, but they haven't updated since a135.

[Wobak]

ah, i was wondering what the O2 tab meant

ive put the sections in your last list now, i took the liberty of deleting duplicate items and moving a few

[adwuga]

I love you more than I previously did when I last said I loved you before, at that earlier time previous to you doing what you have just done upon the internet.

Note: You need to download Sections_for_ItemBrowser.zip file first
And install it and onley then the last's object browser-List with sections.zip file works

[Wobak]

yes, but ill upload a new version in the next days, with expandable/collapsable sections and also subsections. it doesnt save which sections are opened when you close the browser yet.
opening a section is already more comfortable than scrolling until you see the desired object though.
