[Mod] ShipDesignerCompacter

[Siksik]

Hey people!

I made a simple mod to make the entries in the Ship Designer list smaller so one can see more of them at first glance (from 5 to 7.5). It's currently a WIP as I'm still learning how to work with textures and similar stuff.

Would I be able to use this in my mod and could you up load it here.

This looks great! Please share anything you learn about making the UI smaller, since this is something of an annoyance when I play on my laptop.

Yes. I've uploaded the mod to the OP. I'll try to keep it updated.

The most important thing I've found is that tiles allow you to make boxes the size you want, although they have no effects (f.e. hover). You can use them with something similar to

quadTextureSprite = "GFX_tiles_frame_light"

A nice mod for sure .

So that would interfere with tooltips popping up?

 

[Siksik]

Ventessel, I'm not completely sure what you're asking. Which tooltips are you referring to and why would the tiling interfere with it?

Thanks!

I think I misunderstood what you meant by "effects", I thought that the tiling interfered with the engine's ability to read that the mouse was hovering over that part of the UI. I reread it and understood, thanks though!

Oh, I should probably have used another wording, haha. Cheers!

Ahhh, so much better!

Ahhh, so much better!

I was looking just for that feeling!

Updated the OP with a fix.

Reallly *really* awesome... saves so much time in late game scrolling through designs.

I usually hate having to scroll, especially in cases where it can be made easily accessible. That's what got me to start looking what to change.
