Graphics positioned incorrectly w/ mod.

[BiteNibbleChomp]

I've been having some issues with the graphics in my WIP mod "The Path to Rearmament". I set up the purchase pictures today, which are supposed to be identical in both the Wehrmacht + Alliedcorps campaign selection screens, and when Wehrmacht is selected, they appear as normal:

Normal.JPG (149.5 KiB) Viewed 861 times

But in the Allied corps section, some appear in silly locations:

AC_glitched.JPG (147.33 KiB) Viewed 861 times

note that the files in the AC ones are carbon-copies of the Wehrmacht icons, so I am unsure why they are differently positioned.

Can someone please tell me what files I need to edit so that the 2 are identical in positioning?

note that this has nothing to do with any other files I have added (or at least I can't see why they would have)

Hi BNC, I moved your topic into another subforum, this is more a question for modders.

This isn't true, so this is probably why it seems so strange to you? They are actually different, easy example is to check the positions of the 'Tutorial' for the PzC campaign vs. the 'Torch' campaign in AC.

Can someone please tell me what files I need to edit so that the 2 are identical in positioning?

Good news, if you go to the Panzer Corps/UI subfolder, there are three files that determine the placement and names of the pictures: gamesetup.htm , gamesetup_ac.htm and gamesetup_ak.htm. Open them, and compare the offsets (like in the efx file) and names for the 'button' sections. I've copy/pasted the relevant section from the files here for you to compare, first the offsets of regular PzC campaign selection buttons:

Code: Select all

button
{
	cursor: default;
	transition: none;
}

button#StartTutorial
{
	width: 191px;
	height: 252px;
	background-image:url(gamesetup/0_default.png);
	position: relative;
	left: 169px;
	top: -113px;
}

button#Poland
{
	width: 307px;
	height: 210px;
	background-image:url(gamesetup/1_default.png);
	position: relative;
	left: -80px;
	top: 2px;
}

button#Barbarossa
{
	width: 311px;
	height: 210px;
	background-image:url(gamesetup/2_default.png);
	position: relative;
	left: 82px;
	top: 2px;
}

button#Italy
{
	width: 307px;
	height: 223px;
	background-image:url(gamesetup/3_default.png);
	position: relative;
	left: -250px;
	top: -266px;
}

button#Kursk
{
	width: 311px;
	height: 223px;
	background-image:url(gamesetup/4_default.png);
	position: relative;
	left: 140px;
	top: -6px;
}

Now compare the picture offsets with the ones in AC, you'll notice they are slightly different. So you'll need to edit these files to make the pictures match, or prevent the AC campaign option to be selected.

Code: Select all

button
{
	cursor: default;
	transition: none;
}

button#BorderRaids
{
	width: 271px;
	height: 210px;
	background-image:url(gamesetup/ac_0_default.png);
	position: relative;
	left: -116px;
	top: 2px;
}

button#Crete
{
	width: 275px;
	height: 199px;
	background-image:url(gamesetup/ac_1_default.png);
	position: relative;
	left: 118px;
	top: 2px;
}

button#Torch
{
	width: 265px;
	height: 211px;
	background-image:url(gamesetup/ac_2_default.png);
	position: relative;
	left: 149px;
	top: -95px;
}

button#Sicily
{
	width: 271px;
	height: 223px;
	background-image:url(gamesetup/ac_3_default.png);
	position: relative;
	left: -415px;
	top: -6px;
}

button#D-Day
{
	width: 275px;
	height: 234px;
	background-image:url(gamesetup/ac_4_default.png);
	position: relative;
	left: 268px;
	top: -248px;
}

I hope this helps?

your fix worked when I was editing Kaiserschlacht/GC'14 today!

BTW, I put it in tech support because I imagined that something had stuffed up the files, rather than them being set to be positioned differently.
