Unit Buttons Standardization

When playing as Rome I noticed that the Atlatlist icon/button is that of the Javlineer when its made. But when choosing from the menu it uses the Atlatlist icon/button. This gets confusing when trying to find units in your city. Can you fix that?

Here are screenshots of before and and after.

Note the first one is as it should be. And the 2nd one shows a Javlineer icon/button instead of an Atlatlist icon/buton.

This happens with a lot of units. The tribe displays as a settler for example. I had this problem a long time ago and I can't remember what I did to fix it.

It's the xml references on the art defines for those units that control which buttons show in which context.

Which xml file?

 

[Thunderbrd]

CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml

 

[Sparth]

XML looks ok
this tag is ok and lead to right file
<Button>Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/sparth/atlatl.dds</Button>

Only one thing can be add: atlas file for each button. Its complicate and take some time but can be done.

Hydro, can you post screenshot of your civ graphics options? I want to test something.

 

[Thunderbrd]

There's also CIV4UnitArtStyleTypeInfos.xml which may be more explanatory.

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

I thought it may have had something to do with when we split the art defines XML file into two. I am testing that theory now.

Here you go.

Here you go.

Maybe try to enable Detailed City info?

I don't think so. This ha been this way since before you worked on the button/icons. I think it has to do with "flavor" graphics

ok update SVN and try now.

still updating to the latest revision, so i might be talking about something that already happened, but for the "police" units, especially those early adding the Crime symbol also used for the Property would add clarity on the role of that unit, same could be done with the Disease Control units, so you can see Directly oh those are for that specific role

Good idea, but ill add that icons after v35 will be released. I dont want to mess with buttons before v35.

here is what i have so far on animals for btns: some already might have been done, but with the SVN mess-up some might have not been changed correctly??

I prepared correct buttons for all of these animals (including new tammed animals) but I dont want to mess with buttons before v35.
