Open SekiAlpha opened 4 years ago

SekiAlpha commented 4 years ago

Describe the bug The radio names are too long and cause the stereo settings to be hidden for the additional channel. This is demonstrated in the attached images.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Equip [ILBE] RT-1523G (ASUO) + VHF/UHF Antenna (Green)
  2. Set up additional and main channels
  3. Setup stereo settings for both channels
  4. See bug

Expected behavior The additional channel stereo settings are shown in the dialog box on the bottom right.

I understand of the issue, however to keep the backpacks unique (and readable) in Eden and the Arsenal I gave every backpack a full description of what it is and contains.

There are 3 solutions which I'm thinking of: 1) Name all backpacks the same: [ILBE] RT-1523G (ASIP) Color. This will fix the issue in the TFAR Hint box, but makes it impossible in Eden or Arsenal to find the correct antenna version. 2) Name all backpacks the same, and only show base backpack (with whip antenna) in Eden/Arsenal. This will solve the TFAR Hint box issue, and the Eden/Arsenal issue. However it does require manually taking the different antenna(s) with you and change it. 3) Try to make the TFAR Hint box bigger. This solves everything, but could cause issues with the different TFAR versions and future updates.

I'm open to ideas about this.

I don't think the ILBE prefix is needed is it? Arsenal shows icon and classname. And you can also state that in Item Description if you want. Newer TFAR version will truncate the name when it's too long, and it will truncate at the end. Limit is 19 characters, it's sadly not a monospaced font..

The name of the backpack is "ILBE Assault Pack" which contains a "RT-1523G", has an antenna (VHF/ UHF, Blade, Whip, Whip Extended) and of course a color.

And several TFAR backpacks have a similar problem (eg. "RT-1523G (ASIP) Big BWMOD [Flecktarn]" or "RT-1235G (ASIP) RHS long range radio 20km").

While testing with different values in the config I'm unable to set a description which is visible in either Eden, vanilla Arsenal or ACE Arsenal. For example "Library" >> "libTextDesc" is not being used in Arsenal anymore.
