Carousel wasted space? ...

[thevbm]

Never had a time to report this, and quite frankly I have no idea if this is something that should be reported upstream or it's just a config thing. (was too lazy to grab 'vanilla' xvm config to test it)

 

Carousel has a bit of extra space on the left and right, is there something that could be done for this ? Or it's on purpose in order to properly size the available viewport for full number of cells ? (In my case i can see 10 tanks at the same time (since i'm using 2 rows))

 

I'm talking about space left from filters and right of 'slider'.

Probably just filler space, so the tank icons fit properly.

 

You could always give it a try, by changing the two numbers in the padding section:

\res_mods\configs\xvm\Aslain\carousel.xc

(Recommended using Notepad++)

 

Edit: The padding is around the tank icons on the carousel.

There's a custom editor available at the XVM website. It was created specifically to edit .xc files, and has a few functions Notepad++ does not.

Yeah, It's just a space that couldn't be used for even number of cells.

I guess this is related code for it https://bitbucket.org/XVM/xvm/src/57519fdcb09458350fb76ca23f95776f2ebb88d5/src/xvm/src/xvm/tcarousel_ui/UI_TankCarousel.as?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default#UI_TankCarousel.as-497

 

edit:

In my case I've managed to get another two slots visible by just setting horizontal padding to 2 instead of 10.
