UI - TopPanel Changes (BNW)

Description
This mod improves info and functionality of TopPanel
(changes: TopPanel.lua, TopPanel.xml - it's not compatible with other mods that modify these files)


S T A N D A R I Z A T I O N:
100 - number without any signs next to it usually indicates the total amount of something.
(10) - number in brackets represents the number of turns left for something to occur.
+/-10 - number with + or - sign indicates certain gain or loss per turn of something.
[ICON] 100 (10) +10 - information placement - first is the icon then related values follow.


C H A N G E S:

SCIENCE - Name of researched technology (number of turns left for it to be discovered) +number of science points gainded per turn (in red color if affected by the gold's loss)

GOLD - Total amount of gold / +amount of gold gain per turn or -amount of gold loss per turn.

GOLDEN_AGE - [DIAMOND_ICON] (number of turns) for the next golden age to start (replaced with red X while happiness equals 0 or empire is unhappy) or [THREE_DIAMOND_ICONS] (number of turns for the current golden age to end).

CULTURE - (number of turns to the next policy pickup) / +amount of culture points gained per turn.

STRATEGIC RESOURCES - changed order of information - first is the icon then related value, unlike in unmodified game.

"HELP" option which links to Civilopedia has changed name to question mark ?.


A D D I T I O N S:

- 24-hour format real time clock added on the right side before the link to Civilopedia.


C H A N G E L O G:
v2:
- fixed the bug that prevented scrolling any map upwards with only a mouse
- fixed compatibility with William Howard's mods that add additional info to TopPanel, like Great People, Luxury Resources, etc.

I incorporated your mod into my Consistent Yield Sequence (BNW) and gave you credit.

I added some small bugfixes and (hopefully) improvements you may want to add to the original mod:
- The numbers of turns to the next social policy/golden age were sometimes off by 1 (most notably when one founds a city at turn 0). Using the math.ceil lua function always yields the correct result.
- Some of the features added to the top panel (e.g. the real-time clock) were displayed in white, while Firaxis uses beige.
- Because the no. of turns to the next technology/social policy depends on the science/culture rates, I felt it more appropriate to display the rates before the no. of turns.

I cant see mod after update.

I use 2 mods with Civ V. This is one of them. The clock is just the icing, all the changes that list remaining turns for various things really make a difference. I have a hard time using the standard status bar now!

Finally an ingame clock that works in BNW!

I don't think it works with vanilla properly. Because the code is related to functions that have been added by both expansions - you have faith, tourism and trade routes there, and these were not present in vanilla at all.

Does this only work with BNW? because, it looks like it could work fine with vanilla. (don't know about g&k's though)

finally fixed those two bugs - with map scrolling, and compatibility with William's mods...
Skulbow 19 Oct, 2013 @ 3:51pm 
I can't use either as the mouse won't scroll very well, which is unfortunate as I liked the look of it.

MigGui ->
I could rather say that the real time clock is the most "scary" thing added to the game instead of being amazing, due to a fact which is a realization how that time flows so fast ;D


Lord Phobos ->
hm, "nice" find ;] As for myself it's not really the issue as I usually drag the map around, but nonetheless it's something which needs an investigation and possibly a fix. I'll look at it when I finish the job with that other mod mentioned above.



some grumpy statement:
How I "love" to mod such games like Civ or Skyrim, when it's just a pure quess at the end how many things you had no idea of could be accidentally broken because of your very simple mod ;p A domino like effect - that's for sure ;]

townkrier ->
Intersting... or rather not (in the case of any potential work to fix this ;]). I usually play with those William's mods myself, and somehow only after you had posted the issue I noticed that they stopped to work. I could swear that I saw all these work together on my machine but not anymore :/
Anyway, I may give it a go to incorporate such features here (though a bit modified), but it may take some time as I'm already working on another mod of a different kind ;]
