Have you finished the political map yet?

[EPW]

I can't even find the radar map .ldl file.

I can't even find the radar map .ldl file.

You could search the "\ctp2_data\english\uidata\layouts" folder for files containing the word "radarmap". I do this from VC++, then edit ldl's in EditPlus.

I found it in controlpanel.ldl; doesn't look pleasant.

There is no room for another button.

I could do something horrible like this though:

[Maquiladora]

Could you make the border button a 3 stage button? off -> border -> political?

[EPW]

That would involve programming. Actually, if I keep the minimize button at the top right it doesn't look that bad.

It would look better to keep it at one row IMO. Or you could create a number of other buttons for the minimap to make the rows equal.

This would be much easier if we didn't limit ourselves to 800x600 resolution.

Anyways, do you know how to hook up a button with an action? I can't get my button to do anything.

You need a callback function. Just look how the other buttons work.

[EPW]

I can't find the code for the button.

[Maquiladora]

One way to find it is run the logging exe (maybe also debug) and press a button, the log will show what you just pressed like, "citywindow.closebutton", then search for that in the code.

[EPW]

That worked.

[EPW]

Button works now...

We just need to decide on where to place it.

[Maquiladora]

Maybe just keep the buttons the same size and put it on a new row below then.
