planet list

May 23, 2008 10:59:34 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

When you pull up the list of planets on the left side of the screen, it usually shows you a picture of each planet all zoomed out.  But every once in a while, it shows a zoomed in picture of a planet surface for some of the planets.  Is this supposed to mean something? 

Thank you.

:roll:

AFAIC, this is only a lag into the updating function calls by the UI. Annoying, randomly happening and sometimes not even there. It may even be related with Ram allocation slots on any specific PC.

Thanks.

I also noticed that on the top of the planet list, it shows your approval and income and expenses and something else I can't remember. But the expenses are always the same as the income. It never seems to be accurate.

And in the lower left hand corner of the screen it also shows you your total money and approval rating, but it does not seem to update and frequently shows slightly different than if you pull up the budget window. It doesn't seem to update immediately when you change something.

Oh, but all of this is directly tied with the 'WHEN' turns are considered complete or still being processed by the engine itself.

Example; Ship moving -- You'd send a colony on its way but BEFORE clicking the turn button, re-give some order to move... it does perform this extra step just at the end of the current turn rather than when the next turn starts!

Same reasoning with a LOT of other activities, including statistical updates and what else.

Sounds about right. If I start cycling through the planets all the numbers seem to eventually refresh and show correctly.

Except for the income and expenses at the top of the planet list. The two are always exactly the same. The income shows correctly, but the expenses are always the same as the income.
