Dividing the Rivals list

[rene_ryou]

Hi everyone,

I've been musing about the diplomacy aspect of the game and currently i am wondering if there is a way to divide the list on the right side of the screen of other empires. Here are some of my wishes:

1. Set it up so that there is a division between independant and vassal states
2. Order the list in such a way that vassals appear directly underneath their masters with some sort of icon
3. Change the way permenant alliance states appear so that they are with on the same line or linked with an icon of some sort.
4. Divide the list so that nations with defensive pacts are grouped together with their defense partner

Do any of these ideas make sense? If they do, where in the python do i go to do this?

Thanks for any help!

I assuming you are talking about the scoreboard list?

I believe all of what you want to do can be accomplished through Python. The file where the scoreboard is defined is CvMainInterface.py under the Screens folder in the Python directory.

Cheers,

Well... I can tell you that it's definitely doable, and it's definitely don in the CvMainInterface.py file. How to do it though is something I don't know. Python is the language Satan would use if he was a programmer. I don't care for it.

i've noticed in the revolution mod that minor civs are seperated, and that's sort of what i intend to do. The problem is, i don't know if it refers to any other file in the python or in the SDK. If it does, how would i find them? Any help would be appreciated, and i'll post the finished product.
