Promotion Flags EUI for VP v3

[vyyt]

@Asterix Rage , what do you mean by Improved Air Recon is obsolete with VP? Was it assimilated in VP?!?!?

@rp03ev , weren't you trying some old versions of VP? Maybe the Flag Promotions mod works only with the newer versions ... ?

For EAW, I took a close look at Improved Air Recon.

what do you mean by Improved Air Recon is obsolete with VP? Was it assimilated in VP?!?!?

Nop! (fortunetely)
"Obsolete" is not the good word at all.

The good word is: Stupid !
AI is unable to use it, AI even doesn't know that Improved Air Recon exist.
Even worst: "Reduced Air Recon radius from 6 tiles to 3 tiles" means that AI become blind when you (with your Air Recon consciousness) you see everything everywhere.
The Air Recon fonction is attached to Air Sweep Fonction. AI use Range Air Recon by chance, sometime, when AI already see something threatening.

"Labby" author of this mod has made a very good job, a fun mod, for those who look for more features, whatever the cost.
Very far from what VP is.

Oh, ok, I am fine with stupid then

This mod is such a huge QOL-improvement. I am very happy this still works, and here's to hoping Civplayer comes back

Hey, how can I increase flag sizes for promotions? Great mod btw, thanks

Hello again, VP 1.4.2 implemented stacking promotion icons on UnitPanel functionality from this mod. I probably should've asked for permission first but the mod's original/successive authors are all unavailable afaik, hope this is fine with them.
Note that for VP 1.4.2 and later you'll need the updated version attached here.
Changes:
- Compatability with VP 1.4.2
- Fixes some pseudo-4 level icons stacking
- Updates the UnitPanel with new VP features

I've been away for a while, could you briefly explain the stacking change of recently?

 

[balparmak]

Sure, Promotion Flags had a neat feature that stacked promotions belonging to the same group in the Unit Panel. So instead of having Drill 1, 2, and 3 all visible separately in the panel, the mod shows only the latest one, Drill 3, and shows others when you hover on Drill 3. With 1.4.2 I merged that feature to base VP since it's so useful. Tbh Promotion Flags as a whole could be included in VP, but there are fears of performance/crashes with it.

The floating icons are such a great idea. I've really grown to rely on them for easily determining which units to prioritize targeting, and which of my own to position more thoughtfully.

Previously, war was a lot more tedious having to click on each unit to see which ones had key promos. Thanks for creating this, everything that streamlines the later-game wars is great!

Oh and knowing how far a given barb unit can move without hovering over it is quite nice, as well!

Thanks! Works fine in 1.4.6. One remark: one of the scout promotion branch doesn't show up. The one which adds heal outside friendly territory and ends with "auto-heals after attack". It's there on the panel, but not as flag. Btw is there a way to check tooltip of enemy panel icons? I can check my own, but not AI Player.

I think with the recent change to CS unit gifts keeping their promotions, policy-specific promotions should show up as flag by default.

Another problem is that Jaguar's heal on kill stacks with Conscript's +10% CS for some reason.

Here's the new version with fixed dependencies and azum's suggestions.

Sorry I just saw this, will look into it. I don't know much about the enemy panel, but I don't think so.

looks like recent updates are already incompatible with this upload.

 

[balparmak]

Works fine for me, there is nothing in 2.1.x that could break this.

 

[balparmak]

Sorry about that, it seems I didn't add VP-EUI as dependency in the previous upload, which explains why it sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. Here's the fixed one

 

[Psilonemo]

Thanks for your voluntary work! Kudos to you sir

 

[balparmak]

Another update, not an essential one though. Changes:
- Added a gear icon to automated unit flags (from VP 2.2)
- Remove UnitPanel files from PromotionFlags as almost all of its features are integrated into VP by now. This helps to maintain compatibility with future VP versions

Version 3.1a works for me; version 3.2 does not.

With version 3.2 installed, the unit list and city list on the left-hand side of the screen do not appear. (Pretty sure I am using UnitPanel_Small, because I run Civ-VP on a small laptop.)

 

[balparmak]

Weird, I tested a lot with different options, didn't have any issues. Can you try removing 3.1a from MODS, remove the Cache folder and then installing 3.2? It isn't a big deal in any case, 3.1a works fine, you just won't see the Automated icon on flags

 

[TadhgEomonn]

Removing cache was not successful.

Would logs help find the problem?
