I'm still running version 4.35. I may upgrade to 4.40, but at the moment I really like the games I have going. I was wondering if you could possibly suggest what to do about 2 bugs that you've probably already fixed since:
Jump Jets: They have no action buttons or info at bottom left. I assume you've fixed this since. Is this something I could winmerge and correct? I downloaded 4.40 and copied over the new art files for the unit hoping that was it, but that didn't fix it. Is it an XML issue, or python? Hopefully XML...
Maceman Button: The maceman buttons are correct in pedia and promotions, but not in city bar and city screen. (it becomes the archer button) I did merge VD, so it's possible I did this. Was this an earlier bug fix? If so, could you recommend what XML file contained the error? The unit art XML looks accurate, so I'm not sure where this button address is incorrect.
screen.addSpecificUnitGraphicGFC( "InterfaceUnitModel", CyInterface().getHeadSelectedUnit(), 175, yResolution - 138, 123, 132, WidgetTypes.WIDGET_UNIT_MODEL, CyInterface().getHeadSelectedUnit().getUnitType(), -1, -20, 30, 1, False )
I have no idea about the button at the moment. And I think the problem of the Jump Jet came from the art. But try this. It's no real solution but maybe better than nothing. Please goto Assets/Python/Screens and open the maininterface file. Comment this line out
PHP:screen.addSpecificUnitGraphicGFC( "InterfaceUnitModel", CyInterface().getHeadSelectedUnit(), 175, yResolution - 138, 123, 132, WidgetTypes.WIDGET_UNIT_MODEL, CyInterface().getHeadSelectedUnit().getUnitType(), -1, -20, 30, 1, False )
If you do so you will loose the small unit animation in the left corner but maybe the buttons are back.
The problem should be solved in 4.40. So it's just a dirty bugfix for your game.
Worked perfectly! It's even better IMO without the graphic preview in the corner. I play with minimal interface, so I don't have a random unit graphic floating at the bottom anymore. Thanks!
The issue where the gunship wouldn't move long distances; is that something I can replace with a 4.40 file to fix, or edit XML?
It will take several months to release version 5. But maybe you like to have a first impression of the modified interface.
