add a toggle missions overlay

Post by ronMctube »

often if you doing many missions on a reserve you may forget the objectives or..the objectives of a mission maybe many factors.

currently this means to check these mission objectives you have to minimize. this game doesnt like being minimized so my idea is to make a overlay to the missions from a key toggle. ;)


this would be very helpful and doesnt risk crashing the game.

Yes, this would be very handy, ATM I can only do one mission per species per hunt as I can't ATL-TAB due to, well you know.....

Great idea.

I play in windowed mode and have no problem at all with ALT+TAB. I do it all day long.

I don't have problems with fullscreen mode either. But, it would still be nice to see the info in-game. As it is now, I have a whiteboard next to my desk so I jot down the missions/comps I'm working on.

Add to your request the ability to de-activate missions so in-game you only see the ones you are currently trying to complete.

While we're asking, we might as well include comps. ;)

Be Well

Mmmmmm not so sure about comps, if you're not entered and you come accross a giant you can just enter there and then, it would mean comps would be much harder to win (they're hard enough for me as it is)

I thought competitions had to be started before you join a reserve?

Yeah they do but Tod1d posted to add a tab to be able to enter them like Ron's suggestion for missions, I was offering a reason as to why I think it is not such a good idea.

My bad, I didn't communicate very well

I was thinking "De-activate" missions on the web page / launcher before the game (similar to de-activating a comp). then in-game it just lists your currently active comps / missions so you can review the requirements.

Even now, you can activate a comp in the middle of a hunt, but no animals should count toward the comp until the next hunt. This should definitely not change.
