Unit info Panel "TWEAKING REQUIRED"

[dimitrios the samian]

Has anyone tried to modify this panel so it shows a little intelligence rather than the way it operates now .eg random anywhere ..
It would be much more fun and ultimately much better if a little bit of tweaking was done .So your units from left to right are potrayed as such , both grouped and singles .

Hello dimitrios. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

I'm not a modder, but I don't believe I've heard much, if any, reference to this unit info panel you mention. What exactly does it do?

[dimitrios the samian]

Ofcourse you have its on every battle screen at the bottom. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

I take it you mean the unit flags at the bottom, and they should move so that the unit furthest left on the map is the furthest left flag.

I just confused myself http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-dizzy2.gif

Dimitri is refering to the Review panel. But no idea if its possible. I'm guessing its hard coded and thus not possible as I've not heard any mention of such a mod. However with such a mod things could get very chaotic once units break rank or units are fighting in multiple directions and your icons keep jumping all over the place.

Hmmmmm, posted the last reply b4 I read JaChyra's reply.
Flags ? I guess you mean Unit BIFS/Unit pictures. Didn't realise they were supposed appear on the battlefield as they did on the review panel.

Hello Guys
Ok Command buttons at the top of screen .
Unit info panel at the bottom .
mini map top left.

No, not possible.

And I am glad that isn't made that way in the first place. As Nomad said, it would be highly irritating and confusing when the units switch place constantly when they move. Then there is the added problem of what left and right is. Is left the left when viewing from the back or from the front? What if your army turns 180 degrees? What if only half your army turns 180 degrees?

It would be only convenient when your army always stay in the same order of battle, but in my battles this is rarely the case, so I just remember which icon refers to which unit on the battlefield.

Edit: what you could do is group the units in such an order so that your units on the left are in the left group and so on.

Cheers, Duke John

Gooday Duke John & others interested
Without going into repositioning them , Is it possible to make them all smaller ? say by 50% ( more battle screen this way .
cheers

Doesn't upping the resolution make them smaller?
