Enhanced User Interface v1.29i

[ThanOscar]

there are simpler ways to make the code spam endless icons copies... while this improves the chance a copy might get displayed, it's only a matter of time before the game runs out of memory.
The problem is actually: either the game event that triggers the lua code that builds the drawing requests does not fire (there are possible workarounds), or the graphics renderer ignores the drawing requests - like it sometimes does for improvements, roads, gray tiles etc... (no possible workaround). Unfortunately the latter is much more likely. EUI creates the drawing request tree only once, while the base game icon manager constantly recreates it (which is one of the reasons why it's so much slower), so the graphic renderer reacts differently.

i found that doing that crashes from the amount of copies ... lol, what worked is rebuilding all anchors only once from scratch... Maybe there could be some button to force rebuild the icons in the options.

@broken0sword I have that mod installed and it is showing as a button (Qui).

Whoa, that's interesting. I see no additional button for that, in mine.

Hi, been fiddling around with two features of the later versions of the mod. I don't know anything about lua so this is actually taking me a few hours. Hopefully someone who needs this will stumble upon it. One is that BuyPlotMode, the mode that turns on when you click the gold coin button so that you can purchase plots, has to be toggled. This is a bit of an issue in multiplayer games, where it's fairly crucial that you make sure you purchase that tile before your opponent. Every click counts, especially if the turn timer is running dangerously low. To fix this issue, you can find "g_BuyPlotMode = false" in CityView.lua and change it to "g_BuyPlotMode = true."

The other issue is instead of providing the cost of things, you are instead provided how much yield you need until you are able to purchase the thing in question. I'm sure this helps a lot of people, but in multiplayer once again it does mean more time is used, and it's such a speedy game that time saved is super important. It requires more mathematical operations, and so in that time, stuff can happen. Like, if you have 200 gold, and need to purchase a 210, 220, and 230 gold thing, then you just need to add 220, 230, and (210-200). That's three operations (two additions, one subtraction) to figure out that you need 460 more gold. However, as the mod works now, you'd see that you have 200 gold, 10 more gold, 20 more gold, and 30 more gold to purchase each of the things. You'd need to add (200+20), (200+30), and 10, which is four operations. Often, because science is going up by a lot and what you need to produce and purchase piles on so quickly, you need to purchase even more than that many things, which makes the gap in how much math needs to be done even greater.

I think it probably helps some people, but the extra mathematical operations is a risky slow down. I looked for a while in the code for how to fix this (I tried CTRL+F'ing "cost" to see if anything seemed relevant, for example) and haven't found it yet. I'll let anyone know if I can find it! I hope the g_BuyPlotMode thing helps.

Hello, I want to konw if this is a problem or it's just normal.
When i research a tech like writing in the first screenshot (écriture) there is a icon of the suggestion by the scientific advisor which on the right side.
But when I enter on the tech tree (second screenshot) does not appear and any other suggestions from others advisors.
So This is an issue with the EUI or it's just because these icons don't appear in the tech tree ?
I precise that I thought before i installed the EUI, I could see these icons on the tech tree but since i played with EUI, these icons does not appear in the tech tree with/without EUI.
Am I just crasy or this is not normal ?

 

[NC_TSR]

And at the same time, it is possible to have the research panel like the first screenshot or we can't have this with the EUI ?

I believe this is intentional, part of the streamlining done by EUI. Either because there was no way to include it or simply because the author deemed it unnecessary. It may be something that could be re-enabled on the WorldView screen with some modifications to the code.

Just replying because the answers were already posted here and here. Much thanks to both psparky and Serp!

edit the file "Assets\DLC\UI_bc1\CityView\CityView.lua" and make the following changes:

line 1068: instance.GoldButton:SetText( (cash>=goldCost and goldCost or "[COLOR_WARNING_TEXT]"..(goldCost-cash).."[ENDCOLOR]") .. g_currencyIcon )

change "(goldCost-cash)" to simply "(goldCost)"

line 1074: instance.FaithButton:SetText( (faith>=faithCost and faithCost or "[COLOR_WARNING_TEXT]"..(faithCost-faith).."[ENDCOLOR]") .. "[ICON_PEACE]" )

change "(faithCost-faith)" to simply "(faithCost)"
​

I use Notepad++ to edit files and the line numbers shown are what I see. You may see different numbers, but you should be able to find those lines easily enough.

The text will remain in red ("COLOR_WARNING_TEXT") so you will still be able to see that you don't have enough gold/faith to purchase something, but you'll see the total cost for each building/improvement/unit.

​

I would make a duplicate copy of each whole line either above or below the existing one and then comment out the originals so you don't forget what needs to be fixed if you need to change them back for some reason. Also, these will be overwritten each time an updated version of EUI is released unless you either don't replace this file or you make this change each time an update is installed.

 

[Litcube]

Hey guys. I'm getting a lot of hard crashes to desktop when moving the settler. I've only been experiencing it since installing this awesome mod. I believe is has something to do with the new overlay, showing the city bounds, etc.

Any thoughts on how to mitigate?

5. Describe the problem
the game crashes randomly. sometimes it crashes when check demographics chart or graphic sometimes it crash when try load a game. sometimes it crashes when settle. i cant find a pattern. it crashes also with legacy version.
without the eui i experience no crashes, all is stable. as i try give bug report this time it crashed while loeading
a save game.

====================================================================================================

i would like to donate, if it works without crashes. how can i do this pls? i find the eui very improvment of civ v

 

[bc1]

Thanks but I am way too expensive

More seriously, thanks for including the log, but there is no hint of anything wrong. Unfortunately EUI has always had crash reports with Linux: I don't know how to fix these issues, or even if they are fixable, since I suspect weaknesses with the Aspyr version of the game engine. Another factor might be your using intel integrated graphics, they have very weak hardware, and their linux drivers might also have issues.

Edit: one thing you could try is removing function modules from EUI (i.e. deleting folders), maybe you find some combination that works for you (if so please share! )

Cheers

as mentioned before i have no issues without eui. all works flawless.

Unfortunately EUI has always had crash reports with Linux

good to know. i can try run civ v via crossover maybe it bypass the aspyer version of the game engine.
thanks for fast information

 

[Litcube]

bc1, how would I disable the portion of the mod that ... highlights the tiles when you select a settler? I suspect the reason for my crash has something to do with recently captured cities and revolts. It only crashes when moving settlers.

 

[Litcube]

bc1,

Those center panel icons are other mods (WHoward's pick 'n mix). They worked in B31, but now in B32 they don't respond to clicks and their tooltips are completely random (they seem to show the last displayed tooltip).

 

[bc1]
