Yeah - we should be able to do better than the current material in the gameinfo. eg "Material: 23-22:+1" The total material(s) are not really consequential imho. I'll have a think about it and make a change sometime.
Probably just make it "Material: +4" or something and make it always on. Also, i've made an effort to make the tabs/info-positions in that gameinfo line not jump around, Enabling the Material info... they all jump around again, so i'll look at this too. (I have some holidays next week). Cheers On Mon, Oct 22, 2018 at 11:47 PM Alan Whiteman <a.c.white...@gmail.com> wrote: > Just to clarify.... I did not intend this to be a feature request.
