Is there a way to get X/Y coordinates to show on the map in worldbuilder by any chance?? Thanks!

I would also like to know if there's a way to find the coordinates of a plot in the WB. I usually end up getting out of WB to find the coordinate then going back in, which is a pain in the neck after a while.

I'll see if it's possible. It should be.

Well, I've not done any UI modding, but I imagine it shouldn't be impossible to display a line of text somewhere that tells where the cursor is pointed.

I believe if you have WorldBuilder enabled - holding shift and mousing over the plot in question will show the x,y coords.

That only works when I'm not in WorldBuilder.

It doesn't seem to work in either modes for me... :(

I guess I should say that by WorldBuilder I meant if I turn the cheats on (CheatCode = chipotle) the shift function works for me.
With cheats enabled and I hit Ctrl-W it doesnt show there.
Ctrl-Q to toggle back out and it's back to working.
I went and tested and if I change the .ini back to "CheatCode = 0" i get nothing when pressing shift.

WB and console are not the same. ;)

Maybe I'm speaking in a foreign language here, but I tried your approach and saw no coordinates anywhere...

Did anyone figure out how this works? I can go back and forth in and out of worldbuilder, and the ONLY time I see plot info down in the lower left is when I am OUTSIDE worldbuilder, when the world is still covered in darkness.... pretty darned useless then! Any way to reveal the whole map? Or get the plot info while in worldbuilder where the world is revealed?

Any help is appreciated.

I would LOVE to know the answer to this. Any way to reveal X/Y coordinates in the World Builder?

Well, the SIMPLEST way is to edit ..\Assets\Python\Screens\CvWorldBuilderScreen.py

Find the function mouseOverPlot and add the following code:


def mouseOverPlot (self, argsList):

##### Dale - WB X-Y Plot Show START
message = "Plot: %s %s" %(CyInterface().getMouseOverPlot().getX(), CyInterface().getMouseOverPlot().getY())
CyInterface().addImmediateMessage(message,"")
##### Dale - WB X-Y Plot Show END


This put the plot x, y in the message area (you may have to move a window to view it correctly).
