Adding new technology templates or enlarge current ones !

[KostasL]

Well...i got serious space problems while i am currently working on my mod...

I did add a lot of techs...and other stuff in my technology templates...

In order to be able to add all of this stuff...i did enlarge my tech templates gfx as much as i could (you cannot really gain much that way)...and i did shorten the tech buttons a lot...(see screenshots below)

What's more i did merge infantry and tank templates in a single Army Force template...

Making the former infantry template available for my new ''decisions'' template...

Well...this new decisions template is supposed to work like the DH's decisions and HoI4's national focus...
but i just don't have enough space...as i do want to add a lot more stuff and nice graphics...like these in HoI4 (see below)...

Well...i suppose this concerns hardcoded stuff...so i ask... just how difficult is it to :

1. Add a few more templates in the technology section !
OR
2. Make it possible that existing templates have the ability to scroll down when full !

Wow! It seems to me you are already stretching AoDs engine to the max. Looking good though. Good luck (and time) implementing all this!

Not sure whether what you are asking is possible. I doubt it.

Thank you !
I added a lot but i also deducted many useless elements! Engine is not stretched yet !

Yeah...i think it is not possible...i cannot do it myself anyway...as it does not require a simple edit with a paint program...
It involves hardcoding...but i am not sure how easy it is to do such a thing...

That's why i asked a few experts to add their opinion on this matter !

Mmh... the UI files tend to be somewhat messy and therefore hard to work with. Might have to rig something about the scrollbars...
I'll take a look. No idea, from the top of my head, how hard this would be to implement.

Thank you so much for your reply !!!

You do realize that IF such a thing is possible...it would be a huge improvement and it would give modders a free hand to add a lot in the game !

Eventually You might consider introducing pages available for each category. By deafult every tech would use first page. If needed, they can refer to another page.
