Regvar production pics

Post by Veni »

So here's a question I'm stumped on:

In the editor, how are regimevars linked to their pics in the production window?
For example, I see that for Item 149 "Ore (recycled)" ('IsSFT#' = -1), there is a corresponding SFT 142 "Ore Picture", but for the life of me can not figure out how the two are linked.

So let's say (hypothetically) I want a strategic resource 'Cute Puppies'. I've set up a regimevar and created a new Item "Cute Puppies" by making a copy of Item 149 and adjusting stats and link to regimevar accordingly so that 1 cute puppy is now required for every Light Tank I build. Game-wise, everything is set up great and functioning perfect, EXCEPT I can't figure out how to associate a cute puppy pic in the production window when producing it! I.e., it's still showing the Ore pic since I copied it.

Thanks!

I remember wondering the same thing, once, and figuring out. Of course I cannot remember it now, figures...

I´ll take a look at it later. :)

Seems you use the UseSFTypeGraphic setting way down at the buttom of the first row of buttons in the Item menu for each item. That should give you a small teddy bear, if you made one as a SFType in the first place that is. :)

Thanks for the reply!

Do you mean the 'IsSFType#'button? What threw me is that #149 "Ore (recycled)" is set to "IsSFType#: -1", i.e. no apparent link, while most are set to respective SFTypes.

I'll fuss with it as soon as I can, and see if that works. No PzDiv should be without it's teddy bears ...

No not that button, the one all the way down at the end of the list.

Hmm, don't seem to have this. I'm working off of a v220c New Dawn random game (masterfile removed).

This how the items menu looks for me:

Thanks again. This may be a screen size/resolution issue; that button is definitely not there. I'll play around and see if I can't figure something out...
