More Lenses - Now compatible with Gathering Storm 5.0

[Bocephus999]

Hello, I'm loving the mod.

Is there any way for me to set it so that the custom builders from https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/better-builders-mod.605016/ auto show the builder lens?

Thanks!

I might look into compatibility with it, but can't make any guarantees..

I have not had issues in my tests so far. If you encounter something, let me know.

I think i found a problem with your mod, I tested more than 6 times to be sure . Everytime i used your mod, i get stuck in loading screen, play button never show up ( i waited more than 10 minute). Disable your mod,with same setting, i only need to wait 3 minute to play.

Hi,

I'm confused about how this mod is connected to CQUI. You said it's incorporated in the latest CQUI, yet in the FAQ you mentioned there's a custom version made to work with CQUI. If I have CQUI, do I still need this mod?

I just downloaded CQUI but not seeing more lenses. I think this mod will greatly enhance my gameplay, so a bit confused why it isn't showing up even though other CQUI features are there.

Thanks and please keep up the good work!

CQUI already includes this mod, and you should not enable both, because it will create conflicts. I updated the FAQ to show that. Try using CQUI without my mod, and the extra lenses should show up properly.

Oh I got CQUI from here https://github.com/chaorace/cqui/releases, but noticed it was posted way back in Nov 2016.

I can get the master from https://github.com/chaorace/cqui, but downloading it as .zip and extracting it to the mod folder doesn't seems to make the mod recognizable. Comparing the 2 folders, the contents aren't the same either. How should I go about it?

You will have to download the latest nightly. Link: https://github.com/chaorace/cqui/archive/master.zip
Extract the .zip file into your DLC folder.

or

Just subscribe the mod in Steam Workshop. This method is the easiest.

I made a pull request for More Lenses into CQUI. chaorace just needs to check that. As for BTS, I want to push one more update before creating a pull request.

Hello everyone,

After a break, I am back to modding. I have been working on trying to get another category of lens ready, called Area. Unlike the previous lenses I made were using Appeal lens, the Area type of lenses use Government lens. They both are very different so I will list them below:

Discrete Lenses (Using Appeal Lens)

• Allows to highlight any plot, but each plot is discrete and adjacent plots of the same color don't merge together.
• Opacity of color does not change anything.
• Any plot can be colored, regardless of owner.
• Very easy to clear the lens

Area Lenses (Using Government Lens)

• Allows to highlight plots, if adjacent plots are of the same color they merge together (Look at example below).
• Opacity does change the highlighted plot.
• Only plots owned by players can be highlighted. Trying to highlight non-owned plots changes nothing.
• To clear the lens, you need to change the color of previous colored plot to something else. Otherwise on re-applying the lens, the previous colored plot will still be applied. Basically clearing the lens is more complicated.

Below is one application of this type of lens, to show the citizen management plots when cursor is on a city or when managing citizens. Green plots are locked citizens, and yellow plots are unlocked citizen plots.

Spoiler Citizen Management :

Opacity works. Below is the same as above but with Alpha=1.
