Commands text useless, please remove it

[TradeMark]

it comes on my minimap, its annoying, and useless text, like anyone didnt know those buttons under that text were commands?

yeah i could use lua/something and hide it and so on, but what about the new/lazy users who just want to play and not touch to any files?

Can that text be removed at new version? pls?

also, it would be super cool to be possible to move those commands buttons in game, and then it would remember it, so it would be much easier to decide where you want them to be.

WIdget.

He hates lua!

Even things which are easy to customize should have reasonable defaults imho, so +1

[ZellSF]

+1

Though IceUI's minimap is above the text so I don't really care much. The purpose of it is to shown if you've chosen to have the build list or the commands first though, so it has a purpose, but if you change the ordering on that you probably know anyway.

Anyway, how to get rid of the "Commands" text using widgets or anything?

[TradeMark]

yeah, tell me too.

[Kloot]

The "Commands" string is printed by LuaUI, see
LuaUI/layout.lua (search for 'menuName') if you
want to get rid of it.

[TradeMark]

Thank you.

Could you also tell how to change minimap default position/size?

[kiki]

In ice ui, which is what I use, just look for the minimap.lua. I guess without iceui its just ctrlpanel.txt

[TradeMark]

what command i put into ctrlpanel.txt to change the minimap position/size?

[ZellSF]

You can't, I think. Not the default minimap.

[TradeMark]

someone make a patch then

[Neddie]

You can change the map ingame. I just edit the layout and change "COMMANDS" to "" to deal with the annoying words.

Loot at some the widgets with 'minimap' in their names.

P.S. It can also be setup using a config var (the one with
the really obvious name)

Loot at some the widgets

too much MUMORPUGERS! <wink>

[TradeMark]

that minimap widget sucked because i couldnt move it ingame...

[trepan]

The RelativeMinimap widget shows that you can
adjust the minimap in-game using lua. The config
var name is MinimapGeometry. The original minimap
widget was intended to show devs that you could
grab control of the minimap, not to allow you to
move it around (the "for devs" part elude you?)

To get rid of the "COMMANDS" and "BUILD ORDERS" text, open the layout.lua file (/LuaUI/layout.lua in your spring directory) and find the following code:

Code: Select all

local cmdsFirst = (commands[1].id >= 0)
if (cmdsFirst) then
    menuName =   RedStr .. 'Commands'
  else
    menuName = GreenStr .. 'Build Orders'
  end

Then comment (or delete) all the lines except the first one. It should be for example:

Code: Select all

local cmdsFirst = (commands[1].id >= 0)
--  if (cmdsFirst) then
--    menuName =   RedStr .. 'Commands'
--  else
--    menuName = GreenStr .. 'Build Orders'
--  end
