Mod Releases • Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.8.0]

Since I redid both UIs, I may have just lost the context of our discussion. I did make dropdown examples for the regular ATC and the horntrack, but decided against it for the LuaATC track.

The original context was this (referring to ATC tracks):

The first is about using hypertexts instead of using dropdowns (as seen in download/file.php?id=31334). The idea is that hypertext (along with increasing the height of the formspec) allows writing longer descriptions (potentially with multiple lines) for each example.

I made a quick UI mockup to describe this idea, although without long descriptions due to the way each entry is formatted:

I'll definitely include examples in the docs though.

That would be nice. Another thing to potentially consider is to put documentation in-game using the doc mod. (I considered doing the latter in my advtrains_doc_integration mod, but dropped the idea because IMO the lack of access to the information from Advtrains' own UI would limit the utility of such documentation.)
