Name : PlotList Button Enhancement
Version : v0.9 beta
Date : 18.12.05

--------------------------------------------------

This mod improves the unit information which is shown in the plot list.

Features : 
1.) injured units will get a darker spot in the upper left corner, following this table :
standard civ4 colors and their meaning :
- green : unit can move
- yellow : unit has moved, but some movements points are left.
- white : unit is fortified
- red : unit can't move

additional colors by this mod : 
- darkgreen : unit can move but is injured
- orange : unit has moved, but some movements points are left, and is injured
- gray : unit is fortified and is injured
- darkred : unit can't move and is injured

2.) some special units states are dispalyed an the spot as well : 
- a blue "P" indicates, that this unit is on air patrol
- a red "+" indicates, that this unit is healing and than will wake up after it is fully healed
- a blue "A" indicates, that this unit is automized. THis could be any of the worker automization jobs, or an exploration mission.


How it works : 
in the CvMainInterface.py the unit states are anaylzed and a corresponding graphic is overlayed. Unfortunalty, it is not possible to overlay a larger graphic, only this 12x12 pixel sqare does work. If there is anybody knowing how to make it bigger, he may give me a hint, please.


Installation :
copy the files from the ZIP into their corresponding folders in the "Own Files\My Games\Civilization 4" folder. Installation at own risk!.


Issues : 
1.) Well, I'm not an artist in means of graphics. So if there is anybody making better looking buttons, just do it and gave me a feedback.


Ideas for future releases : 
1.) there may be other unit states which are worth to be visualized. Any suggestions are welcome. 
2.) as an altertive to modify this 12x12 spot, it could be possible display a larger infromation as a seperate button below the unit button. But this will blow up the required logic a bit.
