Little Wolf Action Chart

[satchmoz]

I have been wanting to use the Lone Wolf Action Chart on NetBooks but due to the low resolution its been cumbersome.

I did a quick and dirty hack to the LoneWolfActionChart class in the source and altered the UI to fit into a lower resolution. I moved the Weapons/Pouch/Backpack and Special Items into a tabbed panel to conserve vertical space. Its not the best solution but it works.

I have ran it on resolutions as low as 800x600 and it seems to remain usable,

If anyone is interested in reproducing this, I am attaching a diff patch. It needs only to be applied to the LoneWolfActionChart.java file to reproduce these changes. If need be I can post a compiled jar.

Below is a screenshot.

Nice work, Satchmoz! The GUI was something I was never quite satisfied with in LWAC, since it was pretty chunky--especially for lower-resolution devices. (Though I did like having everything in one view for bigger screens!) This looks like a great improvement and will quite likely make its way into an eventual re-release.

(Note to self: ask someone for the Project Aon FTP details that you've forgotten...)

hi satchmoz!

yuor visual patch is probably what i was looking for in order to resolve my visualization issues with my 1280x800 laptop.

could it be possible to have a look at the precompiled jar?

see you

Sorry for the late reply.

I have thrown it up here : believeinrobots.com/programs.php

got it!

it looks visually cool, and above all... i can now see everything on the screen!

didn't test it on a real game thou, but i'll start to do it asap.

thanks!

P.S.: just a technical note: i'm running LittleWAC with a screen resolution of 1280x800 (16:10).

P.P.S.: would some of Project AON admins consider to include LittleWAC as an official tool?

[satchmoz]

Thanks.

Mechanically it should work identically to LWAC, I didn't touch any of the code beyond re arranging the widgets on the screen. You should be able to use any files saved in LWAC in LittleWAC and vice versa.

I use it on a 1366×768 laptop, 16:9, it seems to do very well with limited vertical space.

Registered an account specifically to say thanks for this. Now I can use LWAC on my new netbook! Hooray!

Does anyone have a link to the LittleWAC? The link is dead above.

Just discovered project aon, but I'm having problems playing my low res laptop.
