I recently learned of this mod and have some feedback after trying it for a bit. I apologize if anything may have been covered previously, as 30 pages is a lot to backread.
I play on 1920x1080 but have no problem with CIV's default font and size (monitor is an HP pavillion 23xw, 23 inch widescreen at about 2 feet away). I found the new font a little large, especially in cases where it forces a new line due to words now being longer (mostly commonly in the pedia). (Honestly, this is really just a personal preference, I hate when vertical lists wrap too often.) I deleted the ArtDefines_Misc to set it back as mentioned in one of your previous posts while searching the thread; however, maybe mention how to revert it in your main post, for other users who might feel the same?
Because using the modmod requires deleting BUG Main Interface.ini, is there a way to easily copy settings from pre-modmod to use-modmod? For now I've simply screenshoted each tab in my game pre-modmod and will (laboriously) match each setting individually ingame.
After updating, the tooltip in the lower left now had a scrollbar, which could not be interacted with (since moving your mouse obviously changes the tooltip, and scrollwheel zooms in/out). I get the feeling that maybe this is an old bug that I fixed myself somehow, but maybe not (since that would involve fiddling with XML, and these files get reset whenever I do a clean update). This persisted after I had deleted ArtDefines to go back to the original font, although I didn't pay close attention to whether some icons may have also been changed, which would not have reset after changing font. It was about half to two lines (plus the footer/border on the bottom), which consists of plot... 'definitions'? "This is an Earth plot. This is an Aquatic Plot." I forget if the scrollbar may have also covered information if the information on the line stretch far enough to the right.
In addition, with the promotions now being below the units, and the tooltips for promotions being anchored to the mouse, they are somewhat difficult to read if they overlap units. Could the background for promotion tooltips be made more opaque? (Maybe this is easier to read with your larger calibri font versus the smaller/thinner default that I prefer.)
The list of units was partially covering where promotions were now being shown, but this might be a BUG thing given the change to the build/action list and it being defaulted to medium (or large?), whereas I normally use small. Will edit after I return my BUG settings to my preference.
Edit: I see that the "PlotList" tab is not available in the modmod BUG settings. I'm not sure if modifying any settings here would alleviate the problem of unit lists covering the new promotion placement. There were some other settings missing between the BUG options as well. Does the modmod comment these settings out, or does the modmod somehow run a different version of BUG?
Edit2: Ah, the issue with the unit list was because I had the Plot List Draw Method set to BUG. Switching it to vanilla moved it above the build/action bar and thus off the promotions. It also looks like BUG did copy over virtually all the settings anyway. I think I did prefer the BUG list as it does not interfere with the game view, but I will make do with vanilla.
