[0.15.X] Mod settings config menu, back button label
[0.15.X] Mod settings config menu, back button label
The back button should be labelled Ok or Confirm and never 'Back'.
The word back gives the impression that your changes will be ignored and due to his positioning will cause a lot of users to click it by mistake when they actually want to cancel the changes.
Since users are used to have confirm/cancel buttons on the bottom right of a dialog box, they will automatically scan buttons on this corner first but they are scanned from right to left, since its easier for the human brain to find a starting point where there is nothing then to start at the middle of the dialog box and trying to figure out where it starts. So, reading those buttons first and being the button named 'Back' the first that comes up many users will feel compelled to click on it when what they want is to press the cancel button.
I know that is the wrong button and still... I pressed that damn button so many times already....

Ohhh, and I forgot to say that the client should not restart if no option is changed when I press the back slash ok button!
Re: [0.15.X] Mod settings config menu, back button label
It shouldn't. If it does then it's detecting that a startup setting changed which requires a restart.nagapito wrote:Ohhh, and I forgot to say that the client should not restart if no option is changed when I press the back slash ok button!

It does that, always.
I can start factorio, open the mod config, press back and it restarts.
Ps: Nice nuke

I think he's talking about the new config screen for mods. Options -> mods.
My mods include start up options, and whenever I press back when on that screen the game always restarts even if I changed nothing.

Exactly, It shouldn't... Didnt made sense to me that it needed to do that, so I am reporting itRseding91 wrote:Right, but it shouldn't.bobingabout wrote:I think he's talking about the new config screen for mods. Options -> mods.

My mods folder is a complete mess at this moment, with 0.14 mods waiting updates, 0.15 mods manually changed by me trying to fix bugs I found in them...
The best I can do is give you a zip of the folder.

Give it 10-15 mins to finish upload

I found the problem. String <> number conversion and loosing precision
It should be fixed for the next version of 0.15.

I also changed the back button to "Apply".
