GUI Modification

From Locutus SLIC document:

the Open functions are all messed up apparently, they still work, but no longer always refer to something logical

So it seems that the old open functions from CTP1 does not work, at least not as expected.

The only open functions that should work are:

OpenScenarioEditor
OpenBuildQueue

And this event:

OpenInitialCityInterface

This stuff is new in CTP2.

You mean this isnt opening the city status as it should?
Thats strange.
Are you sure the path "CityStatusWin.BuildQueueButton" is valid?
In wich file it is? I want to see it!

That pretty much sums up my entire SLIC experience so far, I write all this code and then nothing happens. Looking through the documentation that Locutus put together (the .xls file) it looks like there are a lot of functions that no one is sure what they do yet, or if they work.

The CityStatusWin.BuildQueueButton button is found in the CTP2.exe file. So that you can see the reference, I have opened the .exe as a text file and copied the relevant portions into this text file. If you scroll down a bit you can see where I have lined up the functions I'm interested in.


Martin thanks for the note, I tired it and CTPII says "No function named OpenInitialCityinterface" Kinda frustrating isn't it?

OpenInitialCityInterface

As I said it is an event and not a function.

Complementing Martins thought:

As I said it is an event and not a function.

...So it has to be written like this:

Event:OpenInitialCityInterface(variables)

I have a code that uses OpenCiv() and it worked. I also tested the OpenCity() and it opens the city status and not the ity manager like you want.
Also tested the som ones with the Tab at the end like OpenCityTab() and OpenProductionTab() and nothing happens. I think they only worked for CTP1.
I will look the file now
