Current Production Costs Screen

Might not be worth the effort it would take to make this possible but I was wondering if may be possible to automatically filter out objects not in use in the current campaign?

I had thought about just removing the items manually but that means you would have to reload your files after each campaign.

Hi Thud,

Yes, that would be handy, but it gets a little complicated when combined with the various possible Production Mode settings. Some designers start their campaign designs by disabling ALL objects from the Costs screen by a single SQL command:

Code: Select all

UPDATE Object_Specifications SET Nationality='z';
and then reintroducing only those objects of interest for the campaign, by manually setting the relevant Nationality fields to 'r', 'g' or 'n', as required. This is easy as most campaigns only have a few object types in use, and gives you a very short and nice Costs screen.

Cheers,

Excellent, I think I'll give it a try.

Thank you.
