Galacticraft: Description planets \ moons

[BlesseNtumble]

Actually, it is a defect or how it should be?
And if a defect, please make the possibility of writing descriptions for add-ons.

[radfast]

It's a defect / incomplete.

[BlesseNtumble]

When to add a description of the planets?

[BlesseNtumble]

Need descriptions =)

[radfast]

Yes. I'm looking at this. It's not easy, there is only limited space in the GUI.

[BlesseNtumble]

Hmm, I think you can do this:

gui.(name of the selected planet \ moon \ star).desc = description
And most likely better to increase the information window
Or do Gui window:

[radfast]

This is a pretty GUI. But I will point out, the planet is not square...

[BlesseNtumble]

Well, instead of round planets use the registered image for the planet \ moon.
If necessary, I can make a sketch GUI window.

[radfast]

If necessary, I can make a sketch GUI window.

Yes please, sounds great.

@radfast

If the lang file does not contain descriptions - do not display on the screen.

[radfast]

nice job, thank you it helps a lot.

1. I agree with you about a summary description top right. As much information as possible should come from in-game data, not .desc text. I might even add more in-game data.
2. We might look at just a symbol or a tick for breathable atmosphere, less text is better.
3. Some of these descriptions - especially gui.[name].information.desc will be too long - I don't want to include so much text in the main .lang files. So I'm thinking a new .lang file in a folder named galacticraftcatalog. Translating galacticraftcatalog will be optional and the translation style can be different - maybe the translators can find information about the planet in their own language on Wikipedia or somewhere else, or maybe they want to write a shorter or longer text in their language.

I am also thinking about merging all galacticraftmoon .lang files into galacticraftcore, and merging galacticraftmars and galacticraftasteroids .lang files into one.

• I will add a celestial body boolean field .unexplored. If true, no description will be shown, only a "this planet is unexplored" message. Add-on authors can create in-game conditions which switch that to false. Do you think this unexplored data needs to be saved per player? Or do you think if one player discovers a planet, the whole world knows immediately?

[BlesseNtumble]

Did you make a configuration for enable \ disable save per player.

[radfast]

OK we can do it like this: CelestialBody.setExplored(EntityPlayerMP) and CelestialBody.setExploredAll().

[radfast]

I'm planning to add something like this in 1.8.9
