UI upgrade for transfer of goods.This mod aim at improving the UI for transfers of goods in ship to ship and ship to station configuration.
Upon reading a bit the files of the game and the forum, i tend to put my version to upgrade the UI and specially the transfer part that was a bit tedious to use. And as i was working on it, i wanted too a way to transfer fighters as well as crew and cargo.
As i wasn't alone to look around this features we decided then to unify the projects as only one so it would be easier to maintain and let Lazerswei focus on his other project OOSP, ending in two slightly different branchs for how to transfer the goods.
Compatibility read firstWhen you use this mod on multiplayer, the UI part will work just fine, but the new features like the transfer of fighters will only work on servers that have BetterTransfer v1.10 or superior installed.
It don't matter which branch is used, as vanilla and convenient are fully compatible with each other.
transfer vanilla version : transfer crew and cargo by one or by 10 by a single clic.
data\scripts\entity\transfercrewgoods
transfer convenient version : crew and cargo will be transfered by the number set in the textfield after clicking the attached button.
data\scripts\entity\transfercrewgoods
The fighter transfer tab :Clic the icon of the fighter you want to transfer.
/!\ You need to have the script installed on the server too for the fighter transfer to work. What version (vanilla or convenient) don't make difference as long as the server have one.
What is next :A rework of the double scrollframe used on all tabs into a single one
Drag & drop for fighters
Fighter squads management
Known issues :The transfer fighter tab don't manage more than 7 squads, having more than that will lead to a bug preventing you from any transfer.
The UI always display 7 squads even if there are none.
