With mechs getting rescaled, i'll bet a lotta folks will be playing old favorites and playing around with new builds. But one think occurred to me as i played with builds, often i am making them with out parts i actually own, and to view the mech, you must save it, then click on home as the mech as slide to the right.

The mech also goes from center to the right on the Skills tab, which makes since as you can see your mech you are skilling up.



My proposal, is remove the slide code from the mech lab, and keep the mech centered, or perhaps add a check box option in case it works better that way for people with giant monitors on high res? But for all those of us running lower resolutions, on average size screens, this would let us Build our mech, then Click on the modules tab, and actually view what the mech looks like with out having to buy any parts/pieces.

Seams like a simple fix addition in the grand scheme, as they already have the code for both locations.


(unless of course anyone knows if you can just close the mech lab GUI and view before saving, then this makes it not worth the bother

Switch the view from expanded to panel, then you can see the mech effectively without saving.

Alternatively, click Camo and you can see without saving.

Takes a while to switch around, and you can't change build elements while looking. The layout panel is quick and still allows editing.

Ohh wow, thanks bro! I was trying to play around with expanding boxes and such, but none of the arrows i tried did what i needed I kept closing the wrong stuff i suppose

I had a feeling i was missing something, but still was trying to find an easy work around. I guess i had it expanded view for so long i forget you could collapse it. ::homer simpson DOH::


Thanks for the perfect screenies too!
