Concealment

  • 1. select the system you want to hide on one of the F6 chart screens:
  • 2. open World Builder, and at the first text-entry box type in "concealment" (all lower-case, no inverted commas):
  • 3. At the second text-entry screen, type in a number over 100.

Version History

  • 1.2.3 - functionally complete. (Not version 1.3 yet, because it's still scruffy on the inside, and wants tidying up.) Changes from version 1.2:-
1. Second input screen shows the current value of the property one is proposing to change.
2. Result screen shows before and after values of changed property.
3. Result screen offers choice to edit another property, rather than always exiting to the system data screen.
4. Sound sample only plays on the starting menu, not the other menus.
  • 1.2 - now features "colourful background images".
  • 1.1 - this is more than a trinket script; he's starting to get serious now. And I'm quite happy with how this is progressing. It's now keeping a log of changes made, and the intention is for version 1.2 to have an "undo" function. That's the only outstanding item on the wanted features list. Now it really just needs polishing: many more detailed help messages, limiting the annoying sound sample to only play once, pretty screen backgrounds, etc.
  • 1.0 - the original trinket version
