Toggling unit information

Post by 7Saturn »

I don't know exactly, how long this has been a problem. I just recently noticed, that I don't see any unit information any more, except for the health bar. There used to be information like energy or metal consumption of a unit. Also the menu for selecting which unit to build, used to show the name of the units, when hovering over the buttons with the mouse pointer. This doesn't appear to be the case, any more. I suspect, I have some sort oft configuration problem. However, I also tried to rename the settings-folders, just to see, if the game would use defaults and show those information again. It doesn't work that way. Is there any way to toggle on the information I described above?

Assuming you mean the current version of BA - based on subforum - go ingame, press f11 and it should bring up the widget selector, which at the bottom should give you an option to "Reset LuaUI". Try that.

Failing that, you'll need to provide an infolog. https://springrts.com/wiki/Infolog.txt

I already tried that approach.

As far as I can see there is nothing wrong in your infolog.

It's possible that the red tooltip widget (which is shown as loaded, and should display the information you say is missing in the bottom left corner) has somehow positioned itself far offscreen, and does so for you even with the "default" config. If so, you might be suffering from viewtopic.php?f=44&t=33051, but unfortunately no one ever provided the information that was needed to fix the bug. If its that then to get a proper fix you'll need a reply from the current developers.

As a majorly hacky fix, you could look in "spring"/luaui/config/BA.lua and fiddle with the saved position values for the Red Tooltip widget.

That's precisely what I believe is happening.

That'd be a problem. But I'll give the window-resize-tips a try.

If you can not get it working or it happens again in a match where you have no time to fix it, try typing into ingame chat:
/tooltip
to use the engine's tooltip.

I thinks, that's the exact same thing as I was missing. =) Is there a way to get that automatically executed on startup of BA?
