Luxury Resource Display

[KnightOwl]

Sadly it doesn't work for me

I copied it to the right folder. Browsed it. Enabled it. Loaded an existing game. I don't see Luxuries listed in the top menu anywhere.

This looks fantastic! Is it multiplayer-compatible?

I can see a lot of modders looking to add more resources PMing you for permission to use this mod. It looks good; I was worried I would have to figure out how to do it. Now I get an example and something to work with Thanks

Did you load the game through the Mods section? If you backed up all the way to the sp/mp/mods screen then went sp->load game, it won't work.

You have to do Mods->SP->Load Game

You're kidding me right? That is... well... just one more stupid decision in the history of Civ V I guess.. I'm not surprised

Why? Same thing in Civ4. You have to load a mod, it won't affect base gameplay.

True, but in Civ IV you can create a short cut to the mod or put "Mod=modname" in the ini file so as to skip one step/screen. In Civ V its is two screens because of the I agree/disagree screen.

[Valkrionn]

That I agree with. Those damn EULA screens need to be possible to deactivate, you do NOT need to see it every damn time.

No mods are, currently.

A good game to be sure, but a malformed and incomplete UI if ever there was one.

I agree. Something like this display needs to be patched into the main game ASAP. Nice job on the mod! The download link seems to be down at the moment, but I will check it out when it recovers.

I like it!

I even customized it to show only the luxuries i actually have.

Was kind of an eye sore to see all those zeros.

Here's what my tweak looks like:

Hey magus424, awesome interface mod! Can I include it in my modpack?

Nice tweak. Are you going to make that version available (do you need the original author's permission--I'm not sure what the protocol is there)?

noooo.. i'd never step on anyone's toes like that.

but when im done playing with it i'll upload a modified version of that one file as an attachement if anyone wants it. I wont upload the entire mod as a seperate entity.. thats just wrong.

Hmm, instead of checking for NumAvailable, i should probably use NumTotal instead.

That way if you trade away all your cotton for example, it wont disapear from the list.

Think i might also remove the green "Total" and "Extra" parts. I mean if it says you have two wine (like in my screenshot above) with no trades.. 1 extra is implied. And if it shows you have 1 spice with 1 traded.. 2 total is a given. Just fluff thats not needed imo.

I'm only interested in how many i have available.. and how many i have traded.

I actually think removing 'Total' is a good idea, but Extra is really useful for seeing how many you have available at a glance, otherwise you're having to do micro math for each resource every time.

I'd rather you not, it's available on the mod hub now so you can just suggest people grab it

Mod packs won't work as well with Civ 5 since individual mods can be updated so easily through the game itself

I provided the info on which file to edit and where. You can do it yourself. It's easy.

Aye, totally understood. (Actually, the more I think about it, the zeros help you see which luxuries you may still want to collect.)

Not really, just look at the first number.. if its greater than 1.. it's extra.. and can be traded
