Expanded Toolbar V - Grog Updated 11/01/17


Did a quick mod of the drills file which allows Column by Division formations to engage and fire. Also did a quick test and was surprised that the AI still uses line to engage, and sometimes Column by Division, cool.

Installation:
1. Download file
2. Rename to "drills"
3. Copy to the Logistics folder. Overwrite existing file: Scourge of War Waterloo\Mods\Expanded Toolbar V - Grog\Logistics

Is this version of the drills.csv now your standard for MP? If so I will install it, I assume it needs to be a separate mod?

The Grog toolbar is a seperate install. The update was the "drills" file. Just follow the instructions regarding adding the file to the toolbar.

This is the toolbar we are using, though we are trialing our new toolbar as well.

Expanded Toolbar V - Grog Updated 16/02/17

Update, version 5.3:

-Inclusion of optional scrollbar function (Hide/Show toolbar slider)
Function:
Only shows the toolbar when the cursor is moved to the bottom of the screen. Toolbar slides up from the bottom, slides back down out of sight when not in use.

How to Enable:
1) In the Layout folder find the file toolbar.layout. Rename it (example: toolbar0.layout).
2) Next find the file 'toolbar - Scrollbar.layout'. Rename it to toolbar.layout.

One Downside:
Toolbar only slides up for player's units. Still the blank toolbar area can be used for 'right click hold' camera panning.

-Telescope views issue with End Screen fixed
This was a reported bug, should be fixed now.

I had one vague report about unit run issues. I did some testing and found no issues so hopefully that was a misunderstanding or something else. Regardless, help make this mod totally reliable by reporting any issues found, OK folks...and Thanks.

And for now, try out the new full toolbar slider function, it may prove to be a HIT with the HITS folks.

Expanded Toolbar V - Grog Updated 14/10/17

Update, version 5.5:

- Waterloo and User Scenarios are merged into one 'Scenarios' button
As promised, after needless CTD's, a simple solution

- Pause and Resume text buttons are replaced by standard pause/play icons
The long French names kept overlapping the pause text making for messy displays at times. The replacement icons should help tidy things up.

Hello! :book
I'm having a problem with this Toolbar. When I go to multiplayer and create my room - the game tells me to turn off all the modes.
Is it possible to somehow combine this Toolbar and multiplayer game?

Hi HerrPaulchen

What is the exact error you get?

Post by: Biondo on January 09, 2018, 09:56:03 AM
Hi Herrpaulchen,

try this:

Open the QB folder in the DLC folder of the game.

Locate the Logistics folder and open it.

You'll find a file named unitglobal. Rename it as unitglobal1 or something.

Now you can play in multiplayer.

Only the host need to do this in order to play in multiplayer. This bring no problem for single player

The reason is that you can have only one unitglobal file activated with mods and that DLC file is accounted as a mod file. Grog toolbar and DOW toolbar has both a modified unitglobal file so that's the issue.

Tell us if you solved the problem  :thumbsup

Expanded Toolbar VI - Grog, Version 6.0 (Patch 1.03 Compliant), February 5, 2019

This toolbar is an upgrade and replaces all previous, similarly named, Grog Toolbars.

This toolbar includes NSD's full arsenal of commands in addition to all the functions and commands that are provided by the context menus. Context menus may be turned off with no loss of functions.

Changelog

Version 6.0 is primarily a French language upgrade. All text used by this mod is translated to French when the French Language option is selected.

- Tooltip message backgrounds widened to accommodate longer French translations
- Window buttons realigned and widened to accommodate longer French translations. Alignments were needed anyway, disjunctive spacing between buttons was never addressed before this update.
- Some English tooltip messages edited for clarity of command functions
- Added the Takecover function to the 'Stand' Context Menu which had mistakenly been left off
- Removed the 'Adetach' command. This command was just too unpredictable, making it impossible to explain function wise. English language folks who find this command useful should opt to remain with version 5.81.
- Added a new folder, Optional Toolbar Features, which contains the 66Wide and Scrollbar optional toolbars. It allows for an easier procedure to activate these toolbars and includes descriptive information with procedural instructions.
- Some Italian functions are translated already to make the toolbar at least playable...All buttons appear as to Status requirements

Please ignore the German language option, it was just added to see if it could be done, and it can by preliminary findings. Still a long way off though, if ever, considering that it's not supported at all...

Italian coming next. Sooner if help arrives
