New SOW Waterloo Toolbar (DOW Toolbar)

[Asid]

What we are working on?

We are doing quite a lot to make this toolbar useful to as many players as possible. From casual to Grognard. The following are just a few things we are working on:

•   Courier messages
•   Artillery
•   Skirmishers
•   Marching sounds
•   Maps
•   As well as other things

Let us know if you have any suggestions. This project is to help everyone.

Keep an eye on this post for details.

It does look like it brings together the best bits of most toolbars around. The highlighting of chosen options is really really important. Several times I have not been sure if my selection has taken for a unit.

The toolbar has a lot of new things added which have been custom created by our group.

Update: Mod Toolbar DOW v3 beta

- Added custom OOB sandbox from Mitra

- Added Smoke&Flare Light version from Biondo

- Skirmishers text now is "Skirmishers" if their Open Order value is better than 100, and "Elite Skirmishers" if also their Marksmanship value is better than 100

- Added Text Fatigue and Morale becomes blue when value halved and red when is under 30%

- Added sliding OOB on the right of the screen

- The Courier Bar now slides on the left after 5 seconds when a message arrives.

- Added new sound when you click a destination, close the map and when a courier arrives while you have another window open. In the Sounds folder there is another sound and the vanilla sound if you don't like the one I choose

- Added.  Now you can see how many starting troops your allied partner has in the Status Panel on the toolbar

- changed the "Selected" icon of a unit: Made it smaller and more transparent.

Tabs for Courier and OOB sliding windows

Music to your ears

We will be testing marching music for the toolbar this Friday.

The music is a welcome addition and works well.

We are experimenting with changes to the courier system. Things are going well there also.

V5 news

V5 of the toolbar has been undergoing tests in both mp & sp games. The list of additions is quite long.

Stay tuned.

This really is quite awesome.

Stay after it!

And thanks to all making this happen.

Now if only there was someone who could build me a Jena-Auerstedt battlefield, we'd have something .
