MOD: Modding Friendly Nomad Generation

[slink]

Yes, @JamieIdle2.0.

I added the following code to the UIDescription section.

Code Select Expand

{
ObjectType _type = ImmigrationUI;
ElementDescription _element = "Dialog/Immigration.rsc";
String _insertAt = "pageTab";
ElementDescription _tabButton = "Dialog/TownHall.rsc:buttonNomad";
}


[JamieIdle2.0]

@slink how bizarre I did the same thing and it didn't work. I will re try.

[JamieIdle2.0]

@slink you must have did something else beyond add that bit of code. That was what I tried and never got the tab.

Here is my entire Inn template file.

@slink try it with the boarding house and not the inn may there is something in the sprite sheets? I don't know this seems odd to me.

[slink]

Okay, I will have to make an override.  In the meantime, here is the Inn with the nomad tab.  I also tried it with a new start, in case having a Town Hall was important.  The Inn in the new start also had the nomad tab.

Yeah I tried the file you sent the Inn works and I saw the tab. Not sure why it wont show up with the Hostel/Boarding house the only template file differences are in the Toolbar referencing different sprite sheets, but that should effect the building UI

[slink]

You are correct, the hostel override doesn't have a tab.

[slink]

Ah, but the override does work in the non-kit version of the game!

Wow and here I was banging my head away wonder why on earth it wouldn't work! lol

[Mahnogard]

I just got my first group of nomads from @slink's "Room at the Inn" mod. (I needed them, too. I don't often take in nomads, but sometimes stuff happens.)

[Fellow Villager]

when release?

[slink]

If it is working, now.   

[Herrbear]

Did this get released?
