Description
A fork of obamnastan's GDP Plotline Plus mod.

The original mod overwrites the entirety of some vanilla GUI files which makes it extremely incompatible with other mods that edit the same files but in different places. If you look at the files for GDPPP, it turns out that doing that is wholly unnecessary.

This is a clone of the original mod that should do almost exactly the same thing for the user (i.e., add a prestige history graph, color the lines, and make the Y axis scales start from the lowest recorded value instead of 0), but written in a better way that minimizes the GUI definitions actually changed (hence the name), which greatly improves compatibility with some mods.

It also returns the tooltip box size to the vanilla one because I didn't like it being huge (also hence the name). If you liked it huge, you can go to this file with any text editor (such as Notepad):
(Steam root folder)\steamapps\workshop\content\529340\3261478691\gui\00_GDPPP_politics_panel_types.gui
Find every instance of text like:
size = { 280 100 } # { 840 200 }
and delete everything between the = and # signs. Delete the # sign as well, but do NOT delete the = sign. In this specific example, you should change it to:
size = { 840 200 }

A minor thing this fixes is it also changes the title of the prestige graph from just saying "Prestige" to being tooltipped to the Prestige game concept to stay consistent with how the GDP graph is titled.

Created mainly as a proof of concept so I could show it to the mod author; hopefully the original mod adopts the same changes.

This does NOT require the original mod. Having the original one active alongside this one should have no effect.

Specifically made because I needed to fix compatibility between this mod and Visual Leaders by FUN, but it should work with any other mods that involve GUI changes as long as they don't also try to overwrite the plot graphs, the GDP graph specifically, or the GDP graph tooltip box.

No problems in 1.9

Tested & it should be fine for 1.8; you can continue ignoring the version warnings for this

@Ingor You can open up metadata.json in SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\529340\3261478691\.metadata with your preferred text editor and change "supported_game_version" : "1.6.*", to: "supported_game_version" : "1.7.*",

That will get rid of the error.

Yeah the game just reads the listed game version number in the mod's metadata. It's not capable of actually verifying if it's functionally outdated or not.

Hi @1230james ! It would be nice if you could update the mod for the new patch, the game is giving irritating "turn this mod off now !" while it works completely fine apparently. I think I've seen mod authors say that it was just a variable for the version to change in the files, but I'd not try this myself.

Thanks again for a great mod !

does it work with GDP Growth Rate mod?

This hasn't been updated for 1.7 yet so there may be issues; I don't think there should be any problems though? I can have a look later just in case
