Controls References

[Lynxbrutal]

So, while attempting to make changes to the plot tooltip (when mousing over hexes), it references something called control (specifically control.text(something)). What is this object and where can I access it, if at all? If I can't access it, is there any sort of information on it which I can use to find its methods or...?

look at the EUI (Enhanced User Interface) mod for code sample of reworking the plot mouse-over tooltips. They do a lot of this sort of thing in that mod. Even though the mod is implimented as a 'fake' DLC, the lua portions should be of interest / value. EUI has a thread for downloading links and etc. either in the ModPacks or the Mod Components sub-forum (I can't remember which it is at the moment).

I guess I'll look at it tomorrow. All I can see when I close my eyes now is scolling lua and C++.

This is exactly what I needed, thank you!
