WIP : A more newbie friendly GUI selection mode

Open Azim-Palmer opened this issue 6 months ago • 4 comments

Intent

  • Make it easier for people less intimately familiar with the game (like me) to find the right units in the selection panel.

Notes

  • code is very WIP, the intent was to do just enough work to enable posting several variations of the icons and ask devs & community to help land on a design, then implement
  • has an option in the Selection GUI
  • default icon size has been changed, ( uniticon_size.value) - this will need to be reverted
  • construction borders on builders isn't present

The screenshot doesn't seem to show the icons in the selection panel but in the main worldview instead?

That's just an existing option I have enabled. You're right the icons aren't also on the selection panel which would be nice to help assist learning the relationships there

Does this mean this line is incorrect and shouldn't say "and icon"? https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/blob/0e4327208f0d3fb2ba3cba5123a3d9833a5b34f6/LuaUI/Widgets/gui_chili_selections_and_cursortip.lua#L440

WIP icon unit selection panel overlay

This was the prototype screenshot I thought showed the most promise in terms of unifying the Selection Panel, Factory Build Panel, and the Icons used when zoomed out.
