Project: More Icons on Map

[Ekmek]

Fromafar,

Did you copy the tgas over? I get a weird map when the tgas aren't in the pictures the folder.

my turns continue without any problem only when I go into cheat mode and then out of cheat mode do i get a crash.

I'm doing a debug to figure out what the problem is. but overall the game hasn't crashed. What crash text are you getting?

At least, when I do not move the mouse too much - then the game will crash.

Maybe not so amazing just yet

WOAH! I didn't get this post.

First how come the border graphics show up in your build but everytime i try a build NOTHING shows up?

if I out comment one line in DrawNationalBorders it just leave it clear. but in yours the bordericons are working now I'm

I think I didn't out comment some code in Nationalborders but it would affect my game. its been frustrating to try and get something to show.

The borders will not show up, unless you repair a couple of problems. When you use the debugger, you should get a couple of Asserts about surface locking failures. I have fixed those, and am investigating the mouse move crash. Looks like you can get a negative y-coordinate somewhere when it is not expected.

I did but its still not showing. I even made the border icon a cityicon (i.e. capitol) and it didn't show. I try through the debugger. I fixed the -y later on in an attept to show those borders again.

did the tgas show up after you fixed the surface asserts? code in DrawCitynames should do the -y crash. Any chance you can post what you changed so I don't duplicate efforts (or make bigger mistakes?)

now they are showing up. thanks fromafar. I haven't had crashes though but i think its because i may have accidentally deleted the fog part in citynames and i have it in now since i've been deconflicting my copy.

[Ekmek]

ok after some x y moving around this is where I am at on custom borders. looking pretty good and I'm NOT getting a mouse crash (I think its because i deleted something i shouldn't have before)

here's a pic

[Ekmek]

but my curvey borders has an overlap issue and I cant recall how i handled this in civ3. I may just have to create thick straight line borders

One note about the unit flags:

If you move them then don't enlarge your images, but use code for that effect.


And a note on the position:

If you place the flags under the colored civ banner then it is rapidly covered by the more than one unit star button and the veteran medal, so please but the flag to the right of the colored banner.

thanks Martin,
I work on making it a toggle between a colored herald flag and the civflag so we don't have to wory about placement (and draw the number string)

Actually I want to have them both, and the original complaint of Fromafar stays that the numbers are hardly readable.

Both flags? I'm fine with it but it does seem to clutter a bit.

From a PM:

I am sorry, but I think we have to revert the changes from revision 692. The new army shields are only confusing. The colors do not match the civilisation/city colors, making it unclear to which civilisation an army belongs. Why didn't you make this an option?

[Martin Gühmann]

Then both should be seperate options so that I can switch on the heralds and I can also switch on the flags, seperately.
