Report stepping
« on: November 05, 2010, 01:57:42 pm »

I do love reading the reports but sometimes when you have a big battle it's just a huge chore to try and find out what actually happened. My idea is that you should be able to hit the period key to advance one frame/step/whatever and have the report update while you read it instead of having to exit out, step or just watch for awhile, and then go back and read the report.

I'm sure by the time toady gets too old to program, DF will have reached a stage where as it is sentient enough to program itself.
It won't program itself, it'll be too busy taking breaks and attending parties to code.

Just pause it and step time forward one frame at a time.
