Some Squad Orders/high command fax improvements

Post by KingKire » 31 Aug 2016, 18:50

Summary:
Expand the current "Squad Orders/Command Bulletins/ High Command faxes" text box to accommodate at least 3 sentences for the player to view when writing at any one time. Any written Squad Orders should also be able to be reedited once sent.


Benefits:
The current text box for creating Squad Orders/ High command faxes is the size of a regular speech text box. This is way too small to give effective orders as you cant see most of the command that you are issuing. The size should be changed so the player can see at least 3 sentences worth of information at any given time.


The second issue is that Squad Orders should have the chance to be reedited once sent out. Currently once an order is written, you need to make a new order to overwrite the previous order, even if you want to change just one word or letter.

This is a small Quality of life improvement for officers that should help them when creating secondary objectives for squads, as well as writing detailed information to High Command/Creating Command Bulletins.


Details:
The text boxes for Squad orders/Command Bulletins/ High Command faxes should all use an resizable box, or at the minimum, a box that can comfortably fit 3 full sentences worth of text to view.
I would have any squad orders issued text be able to be edited on the fly, instead of using copy-pasta or having to retype the whole order to edit it.

As a small side note, it might also be nice for the Squad Leader to have the ability to create a single Squad Order for his own squad that would go under the Bridge Command Orders.
Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...


...

But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!
