[A13] [GUI] Enhanced Tabs || NEW WORK TAB BETA!

[Fluffy (l2032)]

Work Tab

   
• Sorting by average skill for a job. Select the best Pawn for the job!
• Copy/Paste functionality for priorities.
• Increase/decrease priority of a job for all colonists.
• Drag jobs on/off in the simplified view.
• 
• Change overall priority of worktypes (e.g. cooking, animal handling) and workgivers (e.g. shearing, milking, taming).

Animals Tab

   
• Gender and lifestage icons on the animals tab. Easily keep track of your chickenfarm!
• Butchery and training designation right from the animals tab.
• Filter animals by race, gender, reproductive ability, training, milkable, shearable, pregnacy and old age.
• Sort by name, gender, lifestage/age, and bodysize (meat).
• Rename (named) pets. Don't like the name Buttercup for your Warg? Change it!

How does it work?

   
• Everything has a tooltip, and should hopefully be a smooth enhancement of the core experience.
• Click on column headers to sort by that column, click again to reverse order.
• Headers on designator columns (butchery and training) can be shift-clicked to (un)designate all animals in the list.
• Race filters are a simple toggle, either show a race or not. Attribute have three states, ignore the attribute, select only animals with this attribute, or exclude animals with this attribute. All filters can be mixed and matched.
• Work priority copy button copies the pawn's work priorities, ignoring jobs he's incapable of. Clicking the paste button on another pawn pastes the original pawns settings over, leaving priorities that the original pawn was incapable of untouched.
• Shift-clicking job headers increments priorities by one (left click), or decrements them (right click). In the simple view, repeated clicks toggle the jobs.
• In the simple view, you can now drag over jobs to enable them (left mouse button), or disable them (right mouse button).
• The priorities detail window (found in the work tab) allows you to reorder priorities. These global priorities are still affected by pawn specific work priorities, and some jobs always take precedence ("emergency" jobs, e.g. fire extinguishing).

   
• Entirely save compatible, although you may get a single warning when adding to an ongoing game. This does not affect the mod or the save game.
• Incompatible with other mods that change the work or animals tab (e.g. EdB's Interface and Wivex's Work Presets) - in so far as only one can be shown. If you prefer another mod's tab, simply load it after this one. As long as it respects namespaces (it should!), both should work fine.
  
  
        
  • For example, if you prefer Wivex's Work Presets work view, but also want to have my animals tab, load my mod first, and then Wivex's.
  • If you want the Pawnbar that EdB's interface provides, but want my tabs, load EdB first, then my mod. I intend to allow filtering by Squad for people who have EdB's interface enabled so that you can seamlessly use my tabs with squadron support, once that mod hits a stable state.
• Will likely break with mods that introduce genders other than male, female or other. (I'm not aware of any, which is - quite frankly - a sad state of affairs.)
• I've tried to gracefully fail with animals that have more than three life stages (will show a questionmark, but again, not aware of any core or modded animals that have more than three.)

   
• External changes to the pawn list aren't immediately reflected - the pawn list will update every 5 seconds.
• I've only had very little time to test - expect some obscure bugs, and please report them through the github issue tracker.

[Sinoptick]

Great !)

[harpo99999]

so needed, whydid tynan not do this already???

[Fluffy (l2032)]

Slaughter designator is something I'm thinking about doing tomorrow, training... maybe, not sure how to make that compact enough to fit well.

[Florius]

l2032, you just made another awesome mod!!

[Senacharim]

Thank you!  I look forward to this functionality being included in the core game.

:- )

[StorymasterQ]

Better if the Male and Female symbols have color as well, just to differentiate them even more quickly

[Tekuromoto]

Looks pretty sweet. Is there any chance of adding a way to rename the critters?

[FridayBiology]

Awesome work mate. Same as Tekuromoto renaming would be nice though not needed.

Using it for my current letsplay and will let you know if it has issues with other animal mods.

[Wivex]

Good job. Since more and more UI mods start to show up, could you add [GUI] tag to your forum thread title for easier navigation? Those mods really need categorization.

[Fluffy (l2032)]

done

[1000101]

Not sure I'll use your work priorities tab, but this one I definitely will.

Looks great and such a subtle thing should make things easier too.

Edit:  Doing too many things at once, got wires (modders) crossed.

[skullywag]

the lifestage thing is awesome its what i was after when i asked for age to show, i just didnt realise until i saw this. Top notch!

edit - Also 1000101 thats wivex's mod

[DestroyX]

Will likely break with mods that introduce genders other than male, female or other.

so basically, if a squirrel sexually identifies as an attack helicopter, it breaks the game?
tumblr wouldnt approve this mod


seriously tho, thank you for the mod, it makes managing animals sooo much easier!

[Fluffy (l2032)]

That is correct, destroyx. Problem is I can't make graphics for what I don't know exists. I could add an attack helicopter icon there if Gender is unknown? I blame the modding community for not standing up for the rights of those who sexually identify as attack helicopters.
