Disclaimer: I've never created a mod before so please speak to me like I am five years old.
I want to reorder the pops tooltip that appears when you hover over the 'Empire Population' tab on the topbar. Since the game launches it has been an awful unorganised mess that is impossible to read past the midgame.
I want to organise this species list tooltip into numerical order, so your most populous species appears first. I've found the interface files that concern the topbar here:
I presume the 'instanttextboxtype' relates to the species list that appears once you hover over. It is apparently names 'amount'.
This is where I have gotten stuck. Can I find a file that relates to editing this? I've spent the last hour looking through the game files and I can't find it myself. Is it even possible?
Thanks
