Mod Options Screen

[ruff_hi]

I'm trying to set up an options screen for my mod so that people can the settings in-game (similar to the HOF screens added to the options screen). I have a stand alone screen that I can display but I cannot get it to accept the 'exit' button click via a callback.

I've basically copied the CvOptionsScreen and the associated callback with no luck. Is there some trick to this?

Or does anyone have / know of a mod that does this so I can steal their code ?

I have finished this some time ago.
You will find a tutorial here:

I didn't update this tutorial a long time, because the feedback was quite low.
My internal version is much more advanced and is used in the "Caesium-Mod" at the german community.
If I find some time in the next days, I will upload my version of the mod chooser and write a little tutorial how to use it. But I won't give a big tutorial an every code change like I did last time.

Matze,

A copy of your mod selector would be very useful. The code was useful but I seem to be doing all of what you suggest. I have a new callback file that python cannot seem to find and I'm looking forward to seeing your version of this to see how you handled it.

I worked on this some more last night - started with slightly modified versions of the CvOptionsScreen.py and the associated callback file (al la HOF). I made direct copies and changed 'Options' to 'RuffMod'. I also updated the code to call the screen. Well, I can display the modified Options screen from the menu, I also have a key combination that calls the options screen up - the 'exit' button works either way I call the screen up.

However, the 'exit' button doesn't work on my copied RuffModScreen. I get the python code error message ...

ERR: Call function handleExitButtonInput failed. Can't find module CvRuffModScreenCallbackInterface

I look in the "\CustomAssets\python\entrypoints" folder and the file 'CvRuffModScreenCallbackInterface.py' is there looking back at me. Why isn't it being loaded? I look in the python code and I cannot find any code that actually loads the 'CvOptionsScreenCallbackInterface.py' file. I hate this game sometimes

You have to import the callback file in the header of CvModOptionsScreen.py and CvCustomEventManager.py

Really? I cannot see where the options call back is imported into the optionsscreen.py file. But ok, I will give it a try and see.
