CivGrid: A Visual Civilization Selector Mod

[Lopess]

Hey everyone!

I made a simple mod for 0 A.D. that changes the civilization selection screen into a grid layout.

No more scrolling through a single row – now you can see all civs at once and pick your favorite faster.

Features:

• Clean grid display

• Works with vanilla and most modded civs

• Lightweight and easy to install

Installation:

1. Download the folder.

2. Place it in ~...../mods/ (or your mods folder).

3. Enable it in the mod manager.

4. Launch and enjoy!

@wowgetoffyourcellphone@Stan` Or any of our active 0ad developer friends, I'd like you to test this mod and, if possible, add it to the base game. I welcome feedback for code/logic improvement; I created it with the intention of it being easy to use with any mod. The only detail is that the region filter only works with the civ.json file if the "Region" key is filled in.

Maybe buttons to also view Structure Tree, Civilisation Overview and Catafalque Bonuses from there would be useful.

Would it be possible to make the emblems their full size? They're a bit squished height wise, though the width seems right.

I had to translate a few things from Spanish, but I added it to Delenda Est and this is what I've come up with:

 

 

 

So, here're some fixes I've made an some requested improvements:

Green (verde), is the CivGrid section.

gui\civs\civbrowser\grid\CivGridBrowser.js

Line 154: Fixed the emblem's "squished" ratio from 4/3 to 1/1. This makes them perfectly round. 

Lines 156, 158, and 160: Values changed to make the emblem sizes more aesthetic for my 1080p screen.

Desired Changes in this section:

• Remove civ name from under the emblems. The civ names clutter everything up. 
•  Change the tooltip from their history description to their civ name instead. The history information

 

Red (rojo), is the CivDescription section.

gui\civs\civbrowser\controls\CivDescription.js

Fixed the emblem ratio
