[E] Custom Court Record Pages?

Post by DWaM »

I had a thought about adding this little feature to the editor - and I apologize if this has been suggested before - how about the ability to add (or, at least rename) court record pages? For example, if someone's doing something other than AA, then it would be kind of awkward for something like 'objects' to be called 'evidence'. XD Just a thought at this point, though. Because of the lack of projects that would need this, I can understand why it wouldn't be implemented.

That would indeed be very handy, and complementary with the UI's customisation.

But Unas will probably be opposed to this, because he doesn't like additions that are unrelated to making cases that play like the AA games. :)

- Adding new pages to the CR : certainly not.
Not just because I "don't like it", but because AAO isn't meant to be extendable with custom gameplay mechanics and hasn't been designed in a way that allows that easily. AAO's trial data have a fixed structure corresponding to AA gameplay mechanics, and it cannot be edited to allow custom features on a per-trial basis.

- Renaming the pages : perhaps. I'm not too fond of the idea to be honest, because it would mess up with the localisation mechanism (the system that adapts the interface to the user's current language), but as Kroki said it would be possible to include it as part of the UI customisation tools.
I'll think about this.
