[1.12.x] Simple Contract Display

[linuxgurugamer]

 

  

This is a simple mod designed to show on-screen any selected contracts you want.  The display can be made transparent

Toolbar icon:   

The initial screen will show three buttons:

• Select        click to open contract selection screen
• Close        Close the window
• Settings    Open the settings panel

The Contract Selection screen will show a list of all active contract.  Click the toggle to select those contracts you want to display, then click the Select Button

The Settings page will display three toggles on the first line:

• Bold            Make the display font bold
• Lock Position    Clock the window position
• Hide Buttons    Hide the buttons when the selection screen is closed.  Buttons will only hide if there are contracts to display

The next two lines will have the following toggles:

• Allow click-through        If enabled, this will have the contract display window to allow clicks to fall through to game objects below.  This will only be enabled when the settings panel is NOT displayed
• Save to file            If selected, then an entry field will open up to allow you to specify a file to write the selected contracts to.  Full paths are allowed.  If the folder/directory is invalid, it will be shown in red

The following sliders are available:

• Transparency    Set the transparency of the window, all the way left makes the window totally transparent
• Font Size        Set the size of the font to be used

Additional controls are in the upper left:

• B    Hide or show the buttons
• L    Lock the position of the window

upper right:

• X    Close the window

and lower right:

• diagonal arrow    Resize the window

The window position is saved for each scene

CKAN Note

This mod depends on the ContractParser, which, in CKAN, is only listed as being compatible up to version 1.8.1.  It works in 1.12.3, so in order to install this using CKAN, you need to  do the following in CKAN:

1. Select the menu: Settings->Compatible Game Versions
2. Put a check mark in front of the line for 1.8 and click Accept

Known bugs:  The buttons don't hide when requested unless you are writing the contracts to a file.  Will be fixed in next release

Didn't tried it jet but looks fantastic. Is there an option to only show the tasks and not the text of the contract too?
