Hi,
wow - nice react of the user - dont have thinked of so much answers
@Forboding Angel
he,he - i know THIS

but ->
a, it is still not nice if i use IceUi with KP (with no problems!) and disable
the resource bars as he is not needed - then i musst enable it manualy again if i play another mod.Like in the old spring days ...
The same applys for Gundam (need 3 res bars and so i use the gundam res bar system) or S44 (other naming of the resources).
So i suggest a per mod config for IceUI ..
b, dont play with CA
@Pxtl
no - i am not "cranky"

I play CA the last month after i have managed the UI running like i like... mhhh ... ZERO times ....
Now i have read of the Pyhlons (nice idea - realy - but this was NEVER the problem of CA - have IMHO most times the best nice new ideas and GFX improvements from all spring mods that publicaly available) and think "give it a try and play an game ..".
Then i DL the latest test version .. and as i have writen in the CA mod-subforum cant get the UI to work - even without IceUI .. so i give up.It is only sad that a nice mod with superb GFX, revolutionär ideas* and new fantastic stuff is so bad in UI things.I realy think, if CA is playable with the UIs the users alrerady use, much more user would play CA.
(*= i dont like the flat techtree from CA much - but others like it maybe

it is simply the "CA-way" it uses this)
@Tobi
yea - right.
Look at the available UIs .. she all look like ->
Code: Select all

The only diff is the buttons underground and mouse-pointer and maybe the one have rounded edges and the other not.
Additional come other widgets like defenceRange and unit-groups on the right side of the screen.
So i realy dont understand the "every mod need a own gui" thing ...
The only available differences i have listet in my first post.
(more than 2 resources and different naming of the rersources,additional come the CA hacking to reflect his energy/metall system - but this i have suggestet to built in engine code to have a more flexible way to doing such things ...)
@Google_Frog
he,he - it is not that i am unhappy with the CA UI - it looks nearly the same as IceUI (have rounded egdes and more colors to look more modern ... all things that in an RTS who i musst concentrate on many things and have no time to look of nice details from the UI i dont say i prefere it over the IceUI look ....).
But have not managed to get it work even without IceUI.
