New Mod: UI Party

[-_V_-]

OK found it.

It's linked to EcoManager V7 "mex overlay" feature.

Take a replay, a heavy one, play it for a while, switch the selected player many times, ultimately you would get the black stuff.

Then turning off the mex overlay feature from eco manager would fix the black thing.

Now not sure which of the 2 mods is bugged

[keyser]

yeah it's a known bug (as said before you can get it with idle engineer).

i was pretty sure it was a bug related to ecomanager v7 (since i knew already that turn off overlay feature, and then turning back it on again, would fix the issue).

but if it's ui party that cause the issue (conflict between mods..) then it's a big thx. UI party only put me automatically in ground fire (but i rarely ground fire). And i've the lock feature from "selection lock v4" (because feels it is more convenient than on this mod).

so if i can avoid those black issue, by turning off ui party, it would be great

I used ui party for 100s of games and only got black issue once or twice.

Might be some weird combination of mods.

First, I want to say thanks for this mod.

I noticed the mod preselects a factory at the start of a game. Very neat. However, this only works when Start Split Screen option is enabled. Is there a way to enable this functionality without having to enable screen split?

That's totally possible but quite annoying to code up so I didn't do it

- unit lock feature. hit the lock key and the unit will be locked

What exactly do you mean by "the lock key"? And are the keybindings hard coded and compiled? Can't find any file containing them. And the "set keybindings" dialog is kind confusing. First it just asks whether to really set the key binding, then when clicking "yes" it just says "Bindings set". Huh? I didn't specify any keys. I don't get it.

[nine2]

The mod exposes new commands that can be bound using the normal key binding ui.

On my options screen, the "set keybindings" button just sets it all up for you in a recommended way, so you don't have to do it manually, which would be annoying.

If you hover over something on the options screen - the label or the button or something - it gives more info.

Sorry, I still don't get it. The info for unit lock says this:

Where does it tell me the keyboard key it is bound to?


Edit: nvm I got it, the hotkeys are where all the other hotkeys are...

Having played a few games with this now, I have to say: Fantastic mod! Especially the unit lock feature is amazing.

Thanks . Unit split good too. And cycle units. And some new things u don't have yet cos mod vault broken.
