Re: SE V demo Interface
I agree with you about too much clicking.
And a lock against accidental moves would be nice.
There are no perspective tricks with distances or anything...
Distances are all in "number of hexes", anyways. My goal is to have everything on the screen at once, and have it be as big as possible.
There is perspective, but it is no more a trick than a 2D photograph of the backyard.

Re: SE V demo Interface
so SJ, that screenshot seems to not be of the demo. I'd venture a guess that its not even a screenshot of the stock game. What kind of mod are you running there that gives your homeworld a scanning-range of 3 on the first turn of the game?

Re: SE V demo Interface
What you see are just trivial things like new hex colours and settings.txt saying scanning range for colonies := 3 instead of 0.

Re: SE V demo Interface
How did you shrink the Empire flags without also shrinking the base/ship/unit # displays?

Re: SE V demo Interface
Unfortunately they're attached on the same .bmp image so you can't reduce one without reducing the other.

That's not good. One of the fun parts of playing with different ship sets is being able to see the ships.

Re: SE V demo Interface
I had to do it by editing all the bitmaps...

What percentage did you reduced it to? I reduced them to 40% size (by area) with my mod. Also, did you do them all - alliance and neutral flags too?
Edit:
Nevermind. I saw the download.  |

Re: SE V demo Interface
Almost all of them...
I've gotten all the ones that are attached to shipsets, but I think there are a few independent ones floating around still.
