View units menu Gen skill list too long
« on: October 07, 2010, 06:01:27 am »

Sorry if this was asked before, I couldn't find an answer with the search engine, but I'm playing v0.31.16 right now and I'm trying to delegate some of my guys.  But I notice in the g:Gen menu of the guys skills there's a green arrow at the bottom right corner.  I am assuming that means there is more skills than are showing, but I can't seem to figure out what key to press to get it to scroll.  Anyone know?

nyeh that works sort of, but the arrow is still there and i think there may be more skills on the list than can fit.  anyway, it's not that big a deal I thought maybe someone might know what the deal was.  Thanks for the responses

You're right, though I'm confused as to why the numpad won't work.  Are you playing on a laptop?

Try * and / on the numpad to scroll them :)

PgUp and PgDn also work if I recall.

FWIW, I think most of the social skills get listed down there. Once your Dwarves start idling and chatting amongst themselves, the conversation skills get developed and listed.

Yes it does - I just tried, and it worked just fine. If you rebound the scrolling keys from +/- to something else (which often happens if you use a prepackaged version like Mayday's tileset), you'll need to use those keys instead.

I think I was wrong though, I don't think the green arrow means "more skills below" or whatever

Actually, those arrows do mean "more skills below".

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

But the green arrow stays there regardless of what filters you have on. For instance, a miner with a TON of social skills may just show "Miner" and the green arrow indicator when you have social skills filtered out/off.
