Discovery Lens 1.1.0

[wltk]

A very simple QoL mod. Highlight the plots with discoveries when a scout is selected or via lens options above mini-map.

My favourite of all the released mods ! Really helps if you want to run scouts effectively.

@wltk Is there a git repo or something to submit pull requests? The modinfo needs a bit more to it to use the custom localization tag (The UpdateText node), I'm guessing it would also need another Item for the Simplified Chinese localization file as well

I have placed the mod in the correct folder, but it does not appear in the Mods window of the game. Sukitracts Simple UI mod does, but this one does not. I tried removing all other mods from the folder path, but still do not see this one. What is the issue?

EDIT: I resolved the issue myself. The folder path within this mod prevents the game from recognizing it as a MOD. I moved the core files from the modules folder, then deleted the modules folder. It now appears in the "Additional Content | Mods" section of the game.

a small update to highlight Nature Wonder in another color.. haha. hope it can be added into this tool as well.

const WONDER_COLOR = HexToFloat4(0x1E6FE1, .6); 

 applyLayer() {
        this.clearOverlay();
        const width = GameplayMap.getGridWidth();
        const height = GameplayMap.getGridHeight();
        for (let x = 0; x < width; x++) {
            for (let y = 0; y < height; y++) {
                if (this.hasDiscovery(x, y)) {
                    this.discoveryPlots.push({x, y});
                }
                if (GameplayMap.isNaturalWonder(x, y)) {
                    this.natureWonder.push({x, y});
                }
            }
        }
        this.discoveryOverlay.addPlots(this.discoveryPlots, { fillColor: DISCOVERY_COLOR });
        this.discoveryOverlay.addPlots(this.natureWonder, { fillColor: WONDER_COLOR });
    }
    removeLayer() {
        this.clearOverlay();
    }

wltk updated Discovery Lens with a new update entry:

Localizations, better event listener and organize files.

* Add localizations for "Discovery". Thanks @Webrok for Russian translation.
* Listen to UnitSelectionEvent instead and resolve order issue by setTimeout.
* Remove intermediate module folder to resolve potential mod detection issue.

It seems this lens turns on the hex grid always, is there a way to avoid this / edit it out manually ? Just can't stand the look.

When the lens is on, you can toggle the hex grid layer above mini-map lens options, similar to how you would toggle on/off hex grid when the default lens is on. Code-wise, you can remove or comment out this line: https://github.com/hanweizhang/Civ7...ery-lens/ui/lenses/lens/discovery-lens.js#L10

Is it possible to create a lens for natural wonders? I’ve skipped right by natural wonders I’ve discovered too many times because the video doesn’t play

 

[七里寻风]

the lens disappear with other lens of mod, like trade lens search lens

Remove Moxl Map Search from your mods folder. That one is not updated (yet) and will disable all updated lens mods if used. Remove it for now and your other lenses will work again.

I love this mod and wouldn't play without it.
Suggestion: Similar to how the goodie huts highlight with the scout is selected, when the unit Sappfo is selected, can you light up the tile with an open great work slot? Thanks!
