Title: Expanded Toolbar V - Grog Updated 16/02/17 V5.3
Post by: Asid on February 17, 2017, 06:39:31 PM

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.

The new zip file can't be opened, much less extracted. The attempt crashes with the error "Can not open file as archive"

Okay, the problem seems to be that it simply didn't download (although there was a zip file and no extra file indicating a partial was still downloading, and the download window showed it as finished at a quick glance). I'm pretty sure that was a problem on my end, as I was dling something else at the time. Will try again later.

Hi Jason

I have downloaded and tried it several times and it does work. Seems you have some Gremlins in there...  ???

Waited until the other download was done, tried again: same problem. Sometimes it barely starts to download and hangs without even preparing a "part", other times it goes far enough (in its own account?) to prepare a "part" and acts as though 1/3 of the dl has occurred -- but it hasn't.

I shall come back later after restarting the computer and see if this improves the process.

Thanks! -- before I tried that, I tried it here this morning, and it worked fine for whatever reason.  ::) The Gremlins got bored and went off to do something else I guess.  :P

But I appreciate the link, too.  8)
