Locations showing in /work pannel

So, I see mick added locations to loads, which is a very very nice touch. When you take your load, you see the text in chatbox: "Load from LVA Freight Depot in Las Venturas" things like this which really helps, but it would be cool for this to show in the panel that comes up after you type /work so you can see locations and decide on the best one to pick. yesterday for example I had one "Deliver oil drums from Linden Side to Refinery" I had no idea if Refinery was the one in Bone County or the one in Wet County.

So, it could maybe say "Deliver oil drums from Linden Side in Las Venturas to Refinery in Wet County" which would really really work, and it will help people decide better on where they wanna go in some cases where people don't know where exactly Linden Side is or Solarin Industries, etc.

look, some of locations/unloads have so long name and actually it tries to fit with much problems,
of some1 have a 15" screen with 800x600 res, he will see 2 lines of text where second will be invisible..
THATS WHY every1 should buy at least 19" wide screen (16:10/16:9) with res min. 1440x900 :D

I originally suggested this for the chat box, however as mick said some locations are already preprogramed in game and its not worth going into every mission to change it, so he added it being in the text box :)

Yes the previous mission panel should be back because the currently 1 is very weird.What if i join to a convoy and  want to wait for them at the unload point.I have no idea where it is

MikeMan

Yeah you do, Nagy.

Find your convoy leaders ID and /20 them .

I think most of player knows only one place called Landfill.


But when starting a dumper mission, the destination place their is usually with one word - Landfill, and when mission selected, it turns up that mission to LV Construction Landfill or somewhere else (SF etc)


Whether before 'update' the destination's name shown fully.


Could it be changed somehow?

I have the best example, which caused me to suggest this. Get a cement truck and do cement missions. There are 3 or maybe 4 different destinations entitled Construction Site (one in LV, one in LS, one in SF, maybe more), all named THE SAME. You have no idea where you are going. (I think this wasn't before 0.3d, something happened)

I was thinking about it, but I have to come up with an aestehtically pleasing solution. I don't want to have to add a new line in dialog box.

What if the convoy is still at the load point?Or did not even take their load up?At choosing missions even the leader dont know where is the unload point if there are names like Construction site,Transfender etc
