Show empty bedrooms
« on: June 02, 2011, 04:43:01 am »

When you have a lot of Dwarves, keeping track of who has a bedroom becomes tedious. Is there a way to show which bedrooms are empty, and which dwarves are without their own bedrooms ?

In the same direction, also show who has double bedrooms somehow.

Oh I love it how SG lowers your expectations.

It would be nice to have some sort of notification of double rooms. Something like a message saying "Urist already has bedroom. Remove old bedroom?"

When assigning, the color of the dwarf name reflects if they already have as assigned room; I make it a habit to only assign unassigned dwarfs rooms, to avoid doubles...

However, I would call this an accesability bug, nothing in a user interface should be indicated by color alone.

So, As I mentioned in a thread about assigning tombs/slabs, a single character indicator would be nice to add to the list, prefix the name with the character used for beds "θ" (probably not the right one, but close) if they have a bed, blank space if not.

Don't tell anyone that you can see their shadows. If they hear you telling anyone, if you let them know that you know of them, they will get you.
