SC2Mapster

Hay, thants an easy way to do it. Works great, but how can I use style elements in this text.

<Tooltip val="View message log. (<c val='FFFFFF'>F11</c>)"/>

Doesn't work!

Couldn't find this thread using the search function...

Seems we had a missunderstanding, but I really did mean the "InfoPaneGroup" frame. Its the one located in the "InfoPanel" and there seems no simple way to move it within that frame. (its the one that shows your unit selection once you have multiple units selected wich is why I referred to it as "multiple unit selection frame", now I know its definantly the "InfoPaneGroup") I gave up on that one, since its on of the frames without content that gets filled later ingame.

I tried exactly that approach to tooltips before, but once I even defined a new tooltip my game would crash...

About the last question, I was thinking about making more of my UI with layout files since its obviously much more powerfull (if you can read/writes values of you UI elements of course).

Did someone remove the other big SC2Layout thread? If yes, my last questions;

• How can you add a tooltip to an UI element (such as a button)?
• Is there a way to read/write a value from a SC2Layout-based progressbar or else by using triggers?
• Did anyone manage to move the "InfoPaneGroup" frame within the "InfoPanel" (sounds easy but really isn't)?

My UI is almost ready now. Take a look

@Helral: Go And something even more out of touch, is there a way to get the value of say a progressbar in the UI somehow?

@Helral: Go I have another difficult question for you. Do you happen to know how to create tooltips for the custom UI? Say I have a button and I want a tooltip on it that says "Save progress".

You can move the the BattleNet friends button by using the "Set BattleNet Button Offset" action in th "UI" section.

That I know, but it doesn't make any difference. Moving the "InfoPanel" is still the only way to move the "multiple unit selection frame" (I am still going to call it like that since i cant figure out weather it is really the "InfoPaneGroup" frame).

Did you try it? When I do that, the buttons in the list lose their tooltip and become unclickable.

EDIT: They must have changed it, now when I add anchors to the "InfoPaneAIGroup" or the "InfoPaneGroup" frame, it doesn't even move them anymore.

I am not exactly shure what you mean, but I think this is impossible since the "multiple unit selection frame" is always at the top left corner of the "InfoPanel" and can't be moved without loosing its functionality...

Thats what I thought. Darn.

As I wrote earlier, the only way of moving the "multiple unit selection frame" while keeping its functionality is moving the whole "InfoPanel" (the unit selection list is always at the top left corner of the "InfoPanel"). While doing that, I would like to have the behaviour bar further on the left which means outside the frame...

By chance, does anybody know how to move the battlenet friends button? I only found the "BattleNetButtonFriendsFrameImage", but as it says, it's just the frame around the button.

@Helral: Go Do you know if there is a chance to move an element outside the parent frame bounds?

I already tried the following:

• Move child frame relative to "$parent/$parent" and anchor element to that frame.
• Move element relative to "$parent/$parent".
• Move element relative to "$parent" with negative or high offsets, to get positions outside the frame.

None of these methods work.

Awesome! Thank you, I was thinking about making it from scretch using old screenshots ;)

Sadly, it is not.

@Helral: Go Still no way to solve the auto-size problem, huh? Without this, I must say this override method stinks :)

By the way, has anybody saved the old "ui_ingame_leaderboard_frame.dds", I used it in my map and designed everything neatly around it. Now they changed it into something ugly and I can't get it back.

Shure, the "InfoPanel" in the "GameUI" file.

<Frame type="InfoPanel" name="InfoPanel" template="InfoPanel/InfoPanelTemplate">
  <BatchImages val="true"/>
  <BatchText val="true"/>
  <Anchor side="Left" relative="$parent" pos="Mid" offset="-395"/>
  <Anchor side="Bottom" relative="$parent" pos="Max" offset="-20"/>
  <Anchor side="Right" relative="$parent" pos="Mid" offset="185"/>
  <Height val="199"/>
</Frame>

As far as I know, the only way of moving the "InfoPaneGroup" while keeping its functionality is moving the whole "InfoPanel" and keeping the "InfoPaneGroup" relative to "$parent". Since I have to do that again, I will have to move the "InfoPanel" and this I need to do while keeping the size relative to display anchors aka not mentioning width or hight.

I know this is as complex as it gets with layout files, hope you can still help.
