Modding Rome.LNT

[Roman_Man#3]

There are many things you can do with the menu, but I don't think changing the font size is one of them. As makanyane said, the size of the text is controlled by the font, and we have no way of changing that.

I managed to change the menu font with this file, but what I really want to do is change the colour of the font.

?

[CPT Worsham]

With that in mind, are there multiple fonts of various sizes available for use? If so what is the file that lists them & how do we impement the different fonts?

I have a question:

I would delete all that Texts which look like this one:



As example i use retrofit. (The mtw2 and rome file work similiar).

Is there an identifier in this file where i can looking for?
The structure of this file is horrible

[Amon Amarth 930]

Not exactly what i´m looking for.
I dont want to change something, i only want to delete this text.
And it is possible in this file, because i have delete one of this text´s, but i cant find the other´s.

Tbh i wasn't really responding to your question

[Aradan]

Have you tried the menu_english file? If you can't replace he text with " " in there, you will at least see which internal tag is associated with that text, so you can find it in the .lnt.

[Amon Amarth 930]

Ah, how stupid
Excelent Idea.

By the Way: I have find this texts by looking for
<font_id>kpl_60</font_id>
in this file.

Thanks

I have a problem again:

I would move and arrange the faction buttons different and not in a line.
But it seems that it only change something when i edit
<UI piece>CFP_symbol48_1
When i change the x,y-coordinates he move the whole symbols of all factions.
If i give every symbol different locations they are always in a line at this position which i give symbol48_1.

Where are my fault?


And another question:
Where i can find in this file the Quotations-Position and the Loading-Bar-Position.

I would be very happy about help

[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]

Great tuto !
And like Amobn Amarh 93 I would like too to know Quotations-Position and the Loading-Bar-Position.

[Amon Amarth 930]

After some tests i think, that the quotations and the loading bar aren´t located in this file.
Maybe thats hardcoded stuff, but i hope, i´m wrong

[Aradan]

Loading bar: loading_screen/loading_bar.tga. (needs to be packed to work from a modfolder)
Quotations: descr_transition_screen.txt and text/quotes.txt


If that's what you're asking.

[Amon Amarth 930]

descr_transition_screen.txt

That i didn´t know, thanks

loading_bar.tga

This File i know (of course), but it is possible to change the size?
Maybe to 1024x768. Because i think, it is like in the mtw2.lnt file, where i must change the size of UI-Elements in the Menu also.

Edit: Okay, i take a look into the descr_transition_screen.txt, but i seems to be not the file, which i looking for, because you cant change here the position of the quotations. :/

Try the progress_bar ui piece.

[Amon Amarth 930]

Try the progress_bar ui piece.

This Entry i find also in the mtw2.lnt File, but this is not the right one.
You can see it, because this:

<UI object>progress_bar
<type>art</type>
<UI region>art
<page>textures\FE_texture1.tga</page>
<region>progress_bar</region>
</UI region>
</UI object>

Clearly not progress_bar.tga.
But even when i change there some entry´s, or the according .tga, it seems that nothing change.

[Aradan]

There's a chance this is hardcoded, but having another good look won't hurt, I guess.

[Gigantus]

Silly me, is there a chance to move the pieces in the User Interface when you are in the strat map? Like moving the button for the financial overview?

Found this in strategy.sd.xml
FINANCE_BUTTON_IMAGE

And this in text\strat
SMT_OPEN_FINANCE_WINDOW

But that hasn't helped me to find where the location in the UI is defined.

[Aradan]

Very much doubt it.

[Gigantus]

Then here is the actual question: my finance overview button isn't working - no tool tips, no 'ghosting'. I first thought I had messed up the LNT file, but that wasn't the case. The 'end turn' button next to it works fine - hence my hunt were placement of these buttons is defined.

[Aradan]

You are using custom UI, I assume? If you use the vanilla one, does the finance button work?
