#4300 closed enhancement (fixed)

Quitting the game without seeing the summary page.

Description (last modified by Freagarach)

When quitting the game, we automatically switch to the summary page, but we should have a way to not see it. A typical use case is when saving a game to follow it later, we may not want to see the infos about the enemies. Adding a checkbox in the quit confirmation window, which would ask if we want to see the summary (true by default if the player is defeated or winner and false if the player is still in game) would do the job.

How about a message box with 3 buttons:

Do you want to leave the game?

[Summary] [Menu] [No]

where "Menu" could be replaced with "Lobby" in lobbed multiplayer games and "Replays" in replaymode?

Another option is to not change the strings and only show the current player (potentially the allies if shared vision is researched), like we do for the ingame screen.

Replying to elexis:

Yes, that would be a nice solution. But still, as sometimes we may quit a game without intending to continue it later and without having thought to resign before, we should allow (at least in SP) the possibility to see the full summary. An additionnal checkBox in the summary page ("Show all players") displayed only in such case (i.e. quitting a game in SP while the player is still ingame) ?

Yes, sounds good, we have a similar thing in the replay menu ("spoiler" checkbox).

(Can't do that much about MP game summary screen cheating since the summary screen is also available from the replay menu, so showing the spoiler checkbox only for those MP games where it is clear that the game has ended for that player (i.e. if the host has ended the the game, if the player was banned, defeated or won) isn't needed).
