entityDetails

Note: This branch will likely not work with the current "SVN" state of 0AD. This is because I have not updated/rebased it and is intentional.

This branch contains modifications to both the structree and the in-game GUI to permit viewing of further information about an entity (unit, building, game object) or technology, by right-clicking its emblem/icon in the interface.

Known Problems:

• Doesn't quite match 0AD's visual 'house' style. then again, no-one's too sure what 0AD's visual 'house' style is, because the team appears to lack a lead in that department.

Current ideas:

• If an element can be promoted, I'd like to display that, and also provide a way of swapping between a unit's promotion stats.
• I'd like to add a line of icons along the bottom of the page listing an entity's build/production list, or the next/previous tech in a chain or whatever.
