Enhanced User Interface v1.30m

[Hambil]

Heroes of Might and Wisdom kills the civilization ribbon. Single player score list still works if turned on so it's far from game breaking but the civilization ribbon is cool and I want it all

I will post about it there too. Hopefully maybe you can work together to figure something out as Heroes is a huge mod destine for greatness much like this one

Bug: The colored overlay for city tiles does not go away as expect on mouse out.
Reproduce: Hover to get color display, open the city screen, exit the city screen.
Expected result: Colors go away either when you enter or exit the city screen.
Actual result: You need to hover and do another mouse out to turn off the colors.

@Hambil: this is the result of using different mods which interact, it does not happen when the DLC is used on its own. There's an easy fix, though.

 

[Hambil]

Odd. I will try to figure out what could be interacting with that. Mostly I've got Heroes (as you know) and a bunch of whoward's dll mods which usually play nice with everyone.

It's one that would change CityView.lua, like for example "UI - City Expansion"

 

[Hambil]

Ah, I can dump that one. It's kind of handy for epic or marathon games but otherwise just a toy Thanks.

Edit: nailed it in one. Disabled UI City Expansion and the bug went away.

I just made the fix, it works and will be in the next public version.

So I used IGE on one of my saved games and somehow I think it removed the enhanced tooltips from the map. Even after deleting mod cache/user data and disabling IGE, saving without IGE enabled, the tool tips are still the "un-modded" versions.

Any way I can get this back for my single save?

 

[bc1]

IGE should have no effect on map tooltips when not enabled.
The declutter logic for map tooltips may seem a bit convoluted though:
- if you select a military combat unit it will show very limited tips
- if you check the "No Basic Tooltip Help" game menu - options - game options, that also limits the tips given
So if you select a combat unit with "No Basic Tooltip Help" option, there will be even fewer tips than in the base game. Maybe that's what happened ?

- if you select a military combat unit it will show very limited tips

ah...that was it. I feel really stupid now.

Thanks for the help! Had no idea that when military units are the current selection that the tooltips are super condensed. Thought my game was broken hahah.

This is an often overlooked but very sweet mod that already seems to work fine with your mod but is such a nice fit and idea I thought I'd point it out and see if it sparked any thoughts for you on further interface improvement.

Yes this is a very nice mod... and the fact that it works well alongside other mods such as EUI is very nice too: Howard69's pick & mix approach is the right one, EUI should not attempt to be all things to all people. Better try to do a few things well than waste time copying other people's better ideas...
And the basic problem is that I have more ideas than time or motivation to code them (and yes one thing I did try was make all of the map stuff scale with zoom, like the unit flags in strategic mode, but that failed to game's GUI shortcomings - or my understanding thereof )

Upgraded to Gods & Brave (via DLC) and it's still working a treat.

I'm having some trouble with the install, I don't seem to be able to find the default DLC folder, it's not in my assets folder, i tried creating one but it doesn't work. Is there anyway to fix this?

 

[bc1]

what game version do you have ? is it up to date ? search on your computer for a folder called DLC_01, or for a file which includes "mongol", since everyone is supposed to have the mongol DLC which is located inside the game's DLC folder.
If you have a Mac, you could ask for help on the Mac forum.

 

[macheteman]

Nothing a simple restart didnt fix. All is well!

Version 1.8 (December 14th, 2013)

• Fix some bugs
• TopPanel: strategic resource mouse over provide details on how resources are used, local production, imports, exports (the numbers don't always add up, but this is a game bug)
• CityBanners: hide range strike icon when no more ennemy units are in range following a kill
• CityView: remove empty bottom bar and use wasted space
• Change folder structure: some components are broken down further (more modularity)

bc1 rocks

Just fixed a tiny bug in v1.8 and uploaded (no version change )

I really like the changes you made, great mod!

Here are few questions.

What happened to the city build queue? I use that feature all the time in vanilla, and for some reason it is missing from your mod. Especially useful for new cities where you want to build a number of things in the mid / late game without having to micro it every time it finishes some production.

I agree that the right side is too cluttered. Do you think it would be possible to move the notifications to the bottom middle of the screen perhaps? Between the unit pane and the mini map seems like prime realestate for a horizontal scroll bar for all of those notifications, giving the right side all of the room for the Civs and city states.

Thanks a lot for the work you've put in, I really enjoy what I see so far. Happy holidays!
