Hi Alvaro

I upgraded 1.00.05 to 1.00.05b and I noticed the icons do not match the names in the support production screen.

My bad will be fixed. I thought I refixed but apparentyly I unfixed

Fixed on 105c

My bad I was messing with the image and shifted something I shouldnt have

Great!

Any chance the UI can be modded? I see stuff that is apparently hard coded.

The more a game can be modded the better as far as I am concerned. Helps with the longevity. I really wish for example I had a little more freedom for the counters. Any chance that could receive some love?

The UI no I am not making moddable. There are well over 200 elements for that.

I wish this was as simple as changing images in a directory. I sincerely do. But Unity engine doesn't allow for that like in SC3. I have to manually code for importing images. It's a pain.

Originally I got Unity for cross platform. But apparently everything is moving in that direction. Otherwise I would have used Visual Studio which would allow it.

Ok the UI is out. But just the counters then? Pretty please. Less constraints would be nice.

You have everything you need. I am not sure what you would like?

The text provides the #s and the size of the unit. It could be possible for me to set a size ZERO to remove the unit size text.

I was thinking along the lines of:

- choice of font and size for the #s and unit size text
- optional white outline of the #s and unit size txt
- unit size text optional
- position of the #s and unit size to be determined by the modder (say I want to create larger counters and I want the unit size position to be higher up than it is now or the #s lower, this way there is more room for pretty pictures) by providing an offset number (+ or - number of pixels up/down) or even relative coordinates within the 90px tile
- moddable icons for priority (the green cross), support mission, low supply, etc (with all due respect, they are not very pretty IMHO) and/or make them optional
- position of icons for priority (the green cross), support mission, low supply, etc determined by the modder by providing an offset number (+ or - number of pixels) or relative coordinates within the 90px tile

I want it all! A man can dream right [:)]

No offense taken. My icons are way more functional than pretty.

I'll see what I can make accessible but don't hope for much.

I will take what I can get. My latest experiment, just for fun:

Wow that is really amazing.

Give us the tools and we will get the job done [:)]

To be released very soon:


As you can see, the hard coded XXX gets in the way too easily. The blue triangle for support missions as well. That is the sort of thing I would like to have control over. Also notice the counter is bigger than the vanilla ones, so the strength numbers could easily be moved down. But by now you know what I mean. Fingers crossed.

Looks very good, PanzerMike !
