Hi, my current map has 2 things. One I have changed the lumber and food to show the time played. BUT I can't get it to stop saying Low Upkeep when it hits 51 and back down to No Upkeep when it goes back to zero. Both in the middle of my screen and in the corner.

Also I would like to have text LIKE the Upkeep thing pop up in the middle of a players screen when he enters a regions. ex: When a unit enters a region named "Haunted Woods" the text in the middle Says "Haunted Woods" or something to that affect. Is this possible?

PlzHelp :D
 
In the game interface section under the "Advanced" tab in the main window, you can change the message for upkeep (near the bottom, it has a hex code in front of it).

In gameplay constants (right above game interface), you can determine at what food level which upkeep message is displayed. So if you don't use food that way, you can use it as a tool to display messages.
 
The food is being used, it represents seconds on the timer. Should I take out seconds or is there another way to do this?
 
You could just remove the upkeep message, you could also have a multiboard show the time.
 
Alright lol. Sorry to be such a nub. Alright I've removed it saying Upkeep. Looks great.

Now, is there anyway to make text show up in the middle of the screen when entering regions. Again, explain this to me like you would to a small child lol I'm so nub at this.
 
if you use gui, an idea may be to get egui and use the simulate error message action

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
