OiM Mod - Battle HUD Problem

**Rick** · December 19, 2012, 07:21 AM

I tried posting this on the OiM thread but have not got an answer.

I was playing the mod, OiM (With Fire & Sword) and initiated a battle. While I'm fighting, the part of the HUD suddenly appeared on the upper right hand corner of the screen taking up about a 1/4 of the screen itself. Does anyone know how that could have happened, and possibly how to correct it?

Never played the mod so I don't have a clue as I have never seen it on any other mod or vanilla battle I've played.

Hit any key you weren't supposed to? Wireless mouse and keyboard?

I didn't press any key, but when I clicked on a unit it suddenly appeared. I'm not using a wireless mouse or keyboard. It must be a quirk in their programing, but it's the only mod I play where it happens.

The mod can be found under "Mod/Released mods. It's a fairly new release (a 30 years war mod) - a Russian design similar to the one they did using RTW. I think they released it a bit prematurely, but despite the limited English, and that one battle screen HUD flaw, it plays fairly well.

It's mod related, then.

I thought as much.

Do you have a link to the mod? these old eyes don't spot it.

Easiest way to download is from a russian torrent site but I had to register to download it. Here is the torrent file if you want it. Partial english translation is somewhere in the last 3 or 4 pages of the thread.

I'm having another problem with this mod, first time playing the mod, in battles the buttons when starting battle were huge, but they were there and could be clicked. Next day the buttons were no more, I couldn't click them. I'm just able to press enter to start battle...

For one, I don't speak Russian.
For another, the ui is their responsibility.

The OP says Beta. This is a good reason for more than its share of glitches including HUD trouble.
Possibly best to take it up with them on their Russian site.

The newly appeared UI part was a duplication of the normal UI at the bottom? Could it have been the minimal UI? Try removing\reversing it by pressing 'escape' - that will bring up the menu. Then choose 'UI options' and have a look which HUD is marked. If marking the 'normal' HUD and you still have that quarter up in the corner then it will be a coding problem within the mod. Else it should return to normal (no pun intended).
