Better SideBar
This is a mod for Stacklands and it aims to improve the usability of the sidebar.
Features
Pin Your Favorite Ideas
- Click on an idea in the sidebar to pin or unpin it.
- No worry about unintentional unpins. An unpinned idea will wait until you move your mouse away or pin it again before it hides itself.
- Pinned ideas will display at the top of each group in the order they got pinned.
- Click on the "Pinned" button to filter out unpinned ideas.
- Click on the "Reset Pin" button to reset all ideas to unpinned.
Advanced Quick Search
- Quick: Click middle mouse button on a card, and an advanced search for relevant ideas starts.
- Search results will be marked with a "Q" letter on the right.
- The first search result will display its info in the bottom-left panel. Click middle mouse button again to display next search result (if any).
- It defaults to search for ideas produces the clicked card. Hold [Alt] when clicking the card to search for ideas using the clicked card as ingredients. (You can set the default search mode in the mod configuration.)
- Advanced: Instead of doing text search, (as a result, it works without any input to the search bar), it searches for ideas that has a direct link with the clicked card.
- In other words, the search is based on relationship written in code. An idea will only show up if and only if it does generates or uses the clicked card.
- Of course there may have some exceptions since I am not the one writing the original game. Please feel free to report to me on steam or on github if something felt weird to you, and I am willing to fix it.
- The key binding of the middle mouse button conflicts with the mod Better Mouse Controls. There is an option to turn the quick search off or you can change the key binding in that mod.
Filter Option
- Right below the search bar input, there is an expandable filter option. It has various options that allow you to display only ideas satisfying the filter.
- "Pinned" filters ideas with pins. "Quick" filter ideas that are results of the quick search. "New" filters new ideas.
- "Reset Pin" allows you reset all pins.
