Proposal for modding purposes

Post by PanzerMike »

Alvaro, would something like this be possible:

You added the possibility to hide the units size on the counter. Which can be helpful for modding. What I did not realize is, that there is just one other place where the size of a unit is shown:

This is not very convenient for a quick glance; too many clicks.

The unit.png has only one counter for div/corps/army so I can't do anything with that. In the screenshot i made my own XXX, but it is shown regardless of whether the units is div/corps or army, since the the two free counters in the units.png are not used for that.

If the size of the unit is shown in the detail box and perhaps also in the popup (together with the name of a unit) when hovering the mouse over a counter, that would be helpful.

Should not be too hard, should it (and even when unit size is shown on the counter, the extra information is helpful, especially the unit name in the popup IMHO.

I've been on about this for a while. Seeing at a glance, from zoom out view, what sizes there are, would be very helpful.

Showing the name and size of a unit with a mouseover seems like a good idea to me. Should not be that hard to add that as an option, I would think. What sayest thou Alvaro?

I might be able to add it to the mouse over but not the details report. That would require a lot of changes and coding.

Let me see what I can do but this is on the low priority list.

Name and unit size (div/small corps/large corps/army) in the mouseover messagebox would be great. If that is not hard to do, I would welcome it.
