Re: [Rails-devel] Change: Tiles are excluded from upgrade panel if no valid orientation exists

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Frederick,
sorry pretty busy at work, so only a short comment:

In my planned implementation of full tile laying support I intended
to give users hints in the UI that distinguish between between the reasons why 
they are not able to lay a tile (no route, no valid orientation, no remaining 
quantity).

I have not tested your implementation yet, but from your wording below, it 
seems that you simply not display those tiles that cannot be laid in a valid 
orientation: I suggest that it is better to gray those out for example. 

This reminds that I cannot remember exactly how tiles are treated that have a 
zero quantity remaining: Do they show up in the upgrade panel? It is 
definitely too long I have not played Rails myself or any 18xx ;-)
