Expanded Toolbar - Grog

[RebBugler]

xray,

Went ahead and built your request to make sure I covered the bases, here's the resulting screenshot of the finished request...

The attachment scroll50Width.jpg is no longer available

If you want to try it out on your rig here's the percentages to fill in, edit the attached toolbar file in the previous post: position_real="0.5 0.95 0.5 0.1"

As you can see by the screenshot the fonts are too large for this narrow, half size, setup. This is why I stayed with a limit of 0.66 for narrowing the width, this test refreshed my memory. Unless you can live with only four digit troop counts and a messed up battle time clock, I suggest you keep the width of the toolbar at two thirds, the width of the 66Wide file provided.

Whatever you decide to do I'd sure appreciate a screenshot posted here of your final choice, along with your resolution numbers, so I can use it to refer to and show the Grog Toolbar's setup versatility at varying resolutions.

Oh Brilliant Brother,

I require your assistance -

After an eon, I have installed SOWWL on my work computer, which is a tower, not a laptop. It is very similar to my tower at home. Game runs well, but I am unable to update it through the work servers, (Butt=pains there).

Have the toolbar Mod enabled, resign as per normal, game comes up, click on single player, then when I click on "scenarios" or "sandbox" I get CTD. Have changed the screen resolution a few times, but no joy.

Thoughts?

All Right...Jack is Back! Great to hear from you after a long hiatus.

This Grog Toolbar has been through the rigors of testing and has been crash free for over a year...With many faithful users feeding back, reporting no instability. So, let's figure out your issue.

Are you updated with the latest 1.03 patch?
Does the game run without the Grog Toolbar mod enabled?

If you answered yes to these two questions, after your next crash with this mod enabled, please post your SowWL.log file here, located in your Documents/SowWL folder.

One more thing, make sure this mod is in the lowest priority in Modifications, below all other enabled mods.

Thanks for the report Jack...

Brother,

Yes, good to be back...as much as I can. (Been a nightmare out here...'nuf said).

So, I think what is happening is this -

Uninstalled from the work comp. Downloaded game onto flash-drive. Installed game on home comp tower from flash=drive. Tried the mark V toolbar - CTD.

Attempted to update game. CTD with "C+++ Visual etc" msg on desktop screen. Unchecked Mark V toolbar. Game runs fine. Have downloaded "C++" repair and installed. CTD.

Uninstalled game from tower. Tried to download directly onto home tower. No Joy... Connection sucks. (Probably the wiFi unit in comp).

Have come to the conclusion the game must be downloaded directly onto the comp to be used, not a transfer flashdrive.

Note - All worked fine on laptop until I ran out of space on said laptop. :laugh:

Will try direct cable connection to router and see.

So, it's not the Toolbar Mod. It's my comp not allowing the update required to help it all run.

Yours in haste,

Jack "off to Fry's...again" O'Neill B)

Update to Version 6.0: ...Primarily a French language upgrade. All text used by this mod is translated to French when the French Language option is selected.

- Tooltip message backgrounds widened to accommodate longer French translations
- Window buttons realigned and widened to accommodate longer French translations. Alignments were needed anyway, disjunctive spacing between buttons was never addressed before this update.
- Some English tooltip messages edited for clarity of command functions
- Added the Takecover function to the 'Stand' Context Menu which had mistakenly been left off
- Removed the 'Adetach' command. This command was just too unpredictable, making it impossible to explain function wise. English language folks who find this command useful should opt to remain with version 5.81.
- Added a new folder, Optional Toolbar Features, which contains the 66Wide and Scrollbar optional toolbars. It allows for an easier procedure to activate these toolbars and includes descriptive information with procedural instructions.
- Some Italian functions are translated already to make the toolbar at least playable...All buttons appear as to Status requirements

Please ignore the German language option, it was just added to see if it could be done, and it can by preliminary findings. Still a long way off though, if ever, considering that it's not supported at all...

Italian coming next. Sooner if help arrives. :unsure:

[RebBugler]

Version 6.5 is primarily an Italian language upgrade. All text used by this mod is translated to Italian when the Italian Language Option is selected.

- Tooltip backgrounds were widened to accommodate some Italian lines
- Some English messages were edited for better clarity of function, taking advantage of the wider tooltip area
- German is underway!

A big thanks goes to Favio (Biondo) for translating ALL the messages required to make this toolbar upgrade complete, well over 100 lines of English to Italian. And yes, he is Italian, what could be more perfect than that?

[RebBugler]

Update Version 7.0: German language upgrade...All text used by this mod is translated to German when the German Language Option is selected. This mod must be enabled/checked in Modifications before the German Language option will appear in the Options Window, Page 3. (Dieser mod muss aktiviert/eingecheckt Sein, bevor die Option Deutsche Sprache im Fenster Optionen, Seite 3, angezeigt wird.)

- The 'Tutorial' button is removed from the 'Single Player' screen and tutorial play is only available through the 'Scenarios' screen, when this mod is enabled. Since the tutorial files are only available through the stock game this was a necessary move for German translation purposes. The main change this causes is that now folks (other than German) must disable this mod to play the stock tutorial.
- The EnglishLanguage.xml file is edited and now available in the Layout/Media/Language folder. It was edited to match the GermanLanguage.xml file to line up the two numerically for future translation fixes. This version was edited to fix errors and eliminate duplicate entries, 80 plus.

Since this upgrade wasn't or isn't officially supported by the game, it is rather extensive, including all the help messages, game screens, toolbar functions, map info and scenario texts...About everything text supported except the Manual.

I have a new found respect for the NSD Team folks who worked on the Italian and French translations for the original game release. Making a game multi language ready is INDEED a long and tedious process...I'm still reeling from this German endeavor.

Expanded Toolbar VII - Grog, Version 7.0 (Patch 1.03 Compliant), February 28, 2019
This toolbar is an upgrade and replaces all previous, similarly named, Grog Toolbars.

Version 7.0 is a German language upgrade. All text used by this mod is translated to German when the German Language Option is selected. MORE INFO...

No question, translations into other languages ​​are welcomed by many players.
Also, I thank you for the effort of a German translation.
Usually these translations are never completely free of errors.
This mistake here, in the German translation, is a bit painful!

"Damen" is "Ladys" in English.
"Männer", or "Mann" here are the right German words for the English word "Men".

[RebBugler]

Yes indeed, that error is a bit painful. I knew better, that Männer was men, but I went with a translator I was using at the time to double check my memory. Just figured Damen was another 'men' equivalency. Now, after checking some other translators I find that Damen indeed means women, or ladies, inciting your pain.

Here's that Translator that led to my madness...

If you don't mind, and have the time, feel free to point out and correct any other errors.

Thanks for the report
