[SOLVED] Mofidying the default GUI text for UMC

[Inkerrio]

Is it possible to replace this text with a custom one?



Apparently, there's no LUA or WML, or txt that you could edit to replace GUI text. Turns out, this particular piece of text is contained in report.cpp. As I understand, it isn't possible to edit compiled C++ files, or download fhem from GIT and compile without modifying the core game files.

Maybe there's some other way, like, to repalce this GUI element with a custom made LUA GUI?

I would try with wesnoth.theme_items Lua.

This actually worked, thank you

Edit: in case someone some day will want to change a tooltip in the default GUI and will be searching for a solution, here's the code

Code: Select all

local gold_bar = wesnoth.interface.game_display.gold
function wesnoth.interface.game_display.gold()
local _ = wesnoth.textdomain "WWII"
local g = gold_bar()
-- remove the old table --
table.remove(g, 1, 2)
-- store side 1 into variable --
side = wesnoth.sides[1]
-- store the gold into variable --
side_gold = side.gold
-- insert the gold variable --
table.insert(g, wml.tag.element {
            text =  side_gold,
            tooltip =  "Supply\n\nThe amount of resources currently available to recruit and maintain your army."
        })

return g
end

I wasn't able to find a way to directly edit the tooltip, it's either not possible or way beyond my LUA knowledge. But you can remove the old tooltip, store a gold variable, make a header + tooltip out of it and insert it in place of the old tooltip

Please use [code] tags when posting code on the forums, and be sure to make sure it's indented properly as well.

How you have changed the icons?
