NPC Scale to Level Entry Box Usability Suggestion #11

Open bluesatin opened 4 years ago

bluesatin commented 4 years ago

Problem

I know it's not exactly a big thing, but I was originally confused as to how the Scale NPC functionality worked due to the labelling on the dialogue box that pops up upon usage, and there being no error message when I was using it incorrectly.

So I originally read it as what the 'start level' of the NPC was, and then what you wanted to scale it to. And I was always trying to reduce the level of an NPC, so I was inputting something like Start 4/End 1; and then nothing would happen because that's not what it's asking.

Suggestions

  1. Put a tiny explanation as to what the 2 entry boxes represent and/or potentially re-word what the 2 entry boxes are labelled, perhaps something like:

    • Scaled Level Range Start
    • Scaled Level Range End

  2. Potentially produce an error if someone tries to enter a negative range like I was doing, to explain why nothing happens.

Addendum

Just as an addendum, it's not exactly clear upon first looking what the 'flatten NPC' functionality does. I'm assuming it's a function to set the NPC values to what they roughly should be for their level, but it's not exactly clear, but it's not really described in the GitHub readme section, so it might be worth putting a little explanation in there somewhere.

Thanks for your time and hard-work! :)

I am trying to use this feature, scaling a L3 creature to L6, and... it's not doing anything. I'm not sure what else to do?

Hi @ronaldsf1977 - please open a new issue and fill out the requested information so I can get a bit more information on what is happening. Thanks!
