Author Topic: When stationary and movement energy are the same, tactical hub energy bug  (Read 1505 times)

When stationary and movement energy values are the same, the tactical hub only displays one number and loses addition info on battery reserves.  It seems like it switches to non tactical info and drops all the extra stuff.  Images attached showing some states.  Display not fixed by moving.

I'm not sure if heat acts the same way.

Wow, good catch, there's a rare one xD. Not too often that you have identical energy while stationary and moving. This was an intentional feature back when the Tactical HUD was being developed--to avoid excessive numbers when they're identical anyway, it just folds them into a single number, but that was long before the inventory energy display was appended, and apparently the latter will also be removed if the former are folded together.

This went unnoticed because the inventory energy values are intentionally hidden when not in Tactical HUD mode, though this shouldn't be contingent on whether the values are the same, as it is now.

Since identical readouts aren't super common anyway, I'm just going to stop the folding altogether--even matching numbers will both be shown. (This only affects energy, none of the other stats.)
