Simply put,
I'm trying to make a production building call up a separate This Year / Previous Year UI file called 'DSSVProduction.rsc' instead of the games file: 'Production.rsc', calling up a longer RibbonDescription (production12), but in game as soon as I click on the toggle button it crashes the game. I make the same changes to 'Dialog/Production.rsc' file, and it also crashes.
But, if I make the changes to production4 in 'Dialog/Production.rsc' (making it display 12 items) the changes work perfect! [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/ohmy.png[/img]/emoticons/ohmy@2x.png 2x" title=":o" width="20" />
I'm thinking this might be because of the way the coding works in bringing up statistical parameter numbers, and that it is hidden/not available to us.
It has caused me to waste the last few hours of my life.
Or am I doing something wrong?
I wanted this code to be a separate UI Check Production box, so adding this to a 'Dialog/Production.rsc' file seemed like a logical idea:
Code:
RibbonDescription production12 : "production"
{
ElementDescription _elements
[
"thisYear12"
"previousYear12"
]
}
RibbonDescription previousYear12 : "previousYear"
{
ElementDescription _elements
[
"textPrevYear"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
]
}
RibbonDescription thisYear12 : "previousYear"
{
ElementDescription _elements
[
"textThisYear"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
]
}
instead I just had to do this to 'Dialog/Production.rsc':
Code:
RibbonDescription production4 : "production"
{
ElementDescription _elements
[
"thisYear4"
"previousYear4"
]
}
RibbonDescription previousYear4 : "previousYear"
{
ElementDescription _elements
[
"textPrevYear"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
]
}
RibbonDescription thisYear4 : "previousYear"
{
ElementDescription _elements
[
"textThisYear"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
"storageItem"
]
}
the downside?
this is going to conflict with many mods, and also look ridiculous...
- I think I need to spend some time and see if i can set a maximum size and add a vertical scroll-bar
- And I need to see what is the less used vanilla 'Check Production' table... which one should I alter?
