"Minimal UI"

**weyland** · April 09, 2006, 05:25 PM

Hello -- if I'm playing this mod, can I use the "Minimal UI" feature from patch 1.2? Also, how can I disable the green arrow markers beneath my units? I used "diable arrow markers_true" in preferences but they appear nonetheless.

I installed patch 1.2 after successfully playing SPQR 6.1, and now the game won't start (it immediately crashes to desktop with the first start-up screen.) I'm un/reinstalling the whole shebang at the moment, I presume that patch 1.2 doesn't work with this mod?

All else aside - wow, great mod! It was my first non-regular RTW game and I loved the larger-scale map and improved battle AI -- got my butt handed to me three times in a row! Neat. Good work, and thanks to answers to above questions....

SPQR is for 1.5, not 1.2, so yeah, that won't work like that. Reinstall your copy of RTW and install 1.5, thewn reinstall SPQR, it should work then.

About the preferences thing, are you sure you typed them in in capitol? I'm not sure if that makes a difference, I know I was able to use the Disable_arrow_markers and minimal_UI option.

Thanks for the response -- yeah, I'm pretty sure I used caps for "disable arrow markers_true," and I couldnt see the "Minimal_UI" command line in the preference text -- which is where it should be, yes?

Thanks again, I'm reinstalling everything.

Yes "minimal _UI" is in the preferences text. Just look closely for it is in there!

I forgot how to freeze the minimal_UI in position at the top so it stays there, without having to have to sweep over the area at the top with the mouse cursor.

I like to see the buttons at all times.
