LBW More Options

LBW More Options 0.0.2

This mod allows you to set select options in AppOptions.txt and UserOptions.txt using the Options panel in the game. Currently it allows you to set the following options:
  1. TextToSpeechOnHoverDelay
  2. QuickMovement
  3. AutoDeselect
  4. ShowMapGrid
  5. ShowMapResources
  6. ShowMapYields
  7. ClockFormat
  8. EnableDebugPanels
  9. CopyDatabasesToDisk
  10. EnableSingleOutput
  11. LogSeverity
  12. UILogLevel
(1) is under the Accessibiilty tab. (2-6) are under the Game tab. (7-12) are under the System tab. The options on the Game and System tab are hidden to reduce clutter. There's a Show Hidden switch on both tabs that will show the hidden options I added on that tab. I do not believe any of the options on the Game tab actually work. AutoDeselect is mismapped and I can't find what name it appears as in game. ShowMapYields is mismapped as well, but I was able to guess it's ShowMapYield. ClockFormat doesn't work either. I included them because other modders mght want to use them if the user didn't have to edit the option files. With the exception of AutoDeselect they will all set the proper value in the files. It doesn't mean they actually do anything. EnableDebugPanels and CopyDatabasesToDisk do work. I assume EnableSingleOutput, LogSeverity and UILogLevel actually do something.

This was largely a learning exercise for me. I put a few options out there just to have something. It is a real mod though. I am happy to add more options if people want them. I just didn't want to add a bunch of options where I have no idea what they do. The only bug I'm aware of, other than AutoDeselect not being backed by a store, is the switches that hide and unhide the options makes the option panel believe something changed when it didn't. If you unhide them then click cancel it will ask for verification when it shouldn't. I can't figure out why. Some options may need a restart of the game or reload of the UI to take effect. I can't restart the game but I can have it warn you a restart is needed. I can do a reload of the UI to make the setting take effect.

I had a plan for handling a large volume of options but it turns out a bug in the base code keeps me from doing that. The alternative is a button that pops up an editor. I may do one or both. I don't do anything with sound nor graphics. Sound seems to be fully implemented, there's nothing to add. Graphics is complicated and I have no idea what many of those options do. Just as an example which display adapter you're using determines which options are valid. I didn't want to give people a false sense of security. It's best if you want to play with those that you edit the file.

This does not do anything other than change setting in those files. It doesn't implement any options, it doesn't correct any bugs in the base game. It doesn't handle options for mods, they have their own way of doing that. The only thing they have in common with this mod is they're using the same panel. There should be no compatibility issues because there's no overrides to base game files. If you want options from those files added I'll be happy to do it. If you want something else added you're welcome to ask, just don't count on it actually happening.
