Zyxpsilon Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I'd like to share a very interesting method --Infectedm & I-- discovered earlier this afternoon while trying to solve a long overdue issue with my qUIck_RCP mod. Classes are already dealt with but i still wanted to provide some Colored Rank icons to my subscribers as hinted about by the preview image on Steam. Comes an accidental but still magical chat session and after a few wicked (Live, online) attempts and rational thoughts on the various tricky code mechanics necessary. HE came up with a relatively ingenious solution; direct IconMapping feed-loops via MCqueued instructions already listed as willing to perform what we want! It works... perfectly. http://s27.postimg.org/n8kbn0v0j/Colored_Ranks_sample1.png Sure, we are using some informal dreaded Class Overrides but frankly, i really don't care at this point. Once Firaxis-SDK breaks these actual limitations to their code, i'll be the first to restrict usage of that kind of code hacks. But, ya know how it goes -- a means to an end when reality offers no other rational choice(s). Source code will soon be uploaded on Steam along with the newest version of RCP. And now... onto giving these Ranking abbreviations some matching colors as well -- but that's the real easy HTML + INT file editing part, AFAIC. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
