Feature Request: More information about materials

Open MBGTBenjamin opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

First of all many thanks for this great Tool. I have two suggestions for improvement regarding the information on the individual materials:

  1. If you click on a material in the shopping list, the corresponding material will be highlighted / selected in the left panel.
  2. More information about the finding place, as Inara does for example and not just "Signal Source". information example Hopefully it is not too complex to implement the features I suggested. Fly Safe CMDR

EDIT: I saw that you already have some of the extended information implemented. In this case please extend to the other materials.

basically need to update the "Origin Details" in the entryData.json file here https://github.com/msarilar/EDEngineer/blob/master/EDEngineer/Resources/Data/entryData.json

this is what's being displayed in the tooltip when hovering an ingredient

one would need to update the entryData.json file I linked to add information in the "OriginDetails", for example:

  {
    "Name": "Aberrant Shield Pattern Analysis",
    "Rarity": "Rare",
    "FormattedName": "aberrantshieldpatternanalysis",
    "Kind": "Data",
    "OriginDetails": [
      "Ship scanning (combat ships)",
      "Mission reward",
      "Needed for The Sarge (50)",
      "Some new information about where to get the material" <=== line added
    ],
    "Group": "ShieldData"
  },

the file can be edited in your browser if you do not want to use git
