User Interface Tweaks

You know when you have to choose something to build in a city and you try to scroll through the list, the damn explanation tooltip covers the damn list, making it quite hard to see the list. It's very annoying. You'd be a hero once more, if you'd make that tooltip always appear just outside the list.

And: Left-click on "Turn X" in the top right corner (which currently does nothing) to open the Notification Log, please.

I fixed the issue by unloading the "conflicting" mods loading the game, launching a game and then quitting. Then I resubbed, loaded the and enabled the mods and it now works as intended, afaik.

I'm pretty sure this is caused by conflicting mods, as you say. My mod replaces the top panel to disable all of the buttons you can press there when you open the diplomacy discussion view. What you did changed the order the mods are loaded in, and "fixes" it.

In my next version, I'll find a way to remove the conflict, if possible.

Is it possible to add "rename unit" functionality (right-click on the unit name in the unit panel)? There is a mod doing this for CivV, only a few lines of codes.

Hmmm... Okay, sounds like a good idea. Consider it in the list

Shouldn't be too hard. On the list it goes!

There's a bug with trade route list. When I filter it by science for example, after a while some trade route disappear from the list and it won't reassign (in addition to showing water routes for convoys), only clicking "previous route" button works. That seems to be corrected once filter by name is chosen.

Also trade route list seem to disappear once in a while, as in nothing comes up when clicking "trade routes" from + menu.

And minor, trade route paths randomly disappear from the map once in a while and need clicking a checkbox again in that menu by the mini map.

Cool, good to know. I was like 'aww man i broke his awesome mod!' lol

Thanks for the report! I'll look into it as soon as I can!

In the meantime, it would help me immensely if you uploaded the lua log from that game. If you don't know which one it was, just send me all of them.

You should be able to find them in my documents / my games / Sid meiers civ be / logs. And backups are in subfolders from there.

I can set what pops do in puppet cities. I think it might have to do with this mod, could you check it out?

Hey IphStich, first off, you're my hero, and second, could you add a button to the right-hand buildings panel that allows us to toggle manual specialist control on and off?

Currently in the base game, if you click on any specialist slot in the building panel, it will switch to manual specialist control (like in Civ5). However there's no button to turn automatic specialist control back on. Would be awesome to have a check box similar to the "activate production queue" one that can switch from one to the other.

Well, I'll try if I can get my computer to start. Looks like my video card is toast. If so, no civving for me for a while.

I ran into Mustakrakish's bug as well - I'll try to get a log saved the next time I play it.

Also, just wanted to let you know - I just installed the Aspyr port on my MacBook Pro, copied your DLC/mod over and it seems to work out-of-the-box! Didn't play an actual game yet (just started turn 1), but it appeared to be working fine!

Yeehaw

I'm fairly sure that specialist management is a part of citizen management, so you have to turn automatic citizen management back on to do that.

Either way, I don't think there's anything I could do to actually do that. It's too heavily ingrained in the C++ code, and there's nothing I can do about that right now.

 

[Yucatan]

Your mod is awesome IphStich. Thanks.

 

[Blkbird]

Could "Enlarge minimap" be disabled by default? Or better yet, remember its state across game sesseions? I welcome the feature, but I rarely use it, and it's a bit annoying turning it off every time.

Hi, congrats for the mod, I think I was using your same mod for CiV-V am I right ?

Since I'm one of those experiencing issues: I have mixed up icons for the actions of all the units I managed to build in the first stages of some games.

For instance the Explorer inside a crash site needs to "build a manufactory" to start the expedition. The Worker has the combat upgrade sword among it's options and there is a permanent Miasma icon each time a unit has a "suggested action".

I could explain myself better but can I send you a PM with the savegame ?

For some reason I can't take screenshots.

If you load the save game, and still see it, that would be great! Send it to me in any way you can. I would also really appreciate having the lua.log file for the game too!

Go to the saves folder, then up one level and there should be a "Logs" folder. Inside you'll find a "Lua.log" file. If you encountered the bug/error in games other than your previous, or you're not sure which one, you can find the older log files in the backup folders.

Is that it by any chance ?

 

[sprang]

Where is the trade overview screen? It seems to have disappeared? It doesn't appear from the button, the + popup menu, or the F10 key. ETA: and now, it's back.

Other than that, awesome mod!

Also: is it possible to display the turn length for trade route choices?

 

[Dunkah]

How does the New Patch affect this Mod. Will the loading of the patch remove the installation?

Will it work with the new Patch balances?

 

[Dellan]

I'd like to know this as well.

I've removed this mod for now because there were so many changes in the recent patch and I'm positive that something in this mod isn't reacting well to those changes.

 

[TLHeart]

So many changes, this mod does not work with the december patch, in my experience.
