Thanks for this new toolbar reb it has to be the best mod for Waterloo so far. :whistle: So I was wondering as you seem to be the toolbar modding king on here would it be possible to use your increadable modding skills to make this compatible with the other outstanding mod for Waterloo the great KS Napoleon Mod. :whistle:

I'm finding that a lot of the formation buttons don't actually do anything. I guess I must be doing something wrong, but I can't see what.

Now I understand what you were asking. This is another MyGui mystery for me. I think I'm figuring it out and then another puzzle pops up. Oh well, that version is history, version IV seems to fit the bill. Since the proportions are built with percentages it's fairly easy and fast to make size adjustments as requested. I'll get this new option on the first post so no one else has to deal with that ugly stretched toolbar. Thanks again for using and helping out with this mod. :)

Much appreciated! :)

The KS toolbar was designed off the original Grog toolbar, so I don't see an issue since the majority of the features are included. Maybe MTG just hasn't updated the KS toolbar to patch 1.01 yet. Put in a request with the KS group for features, I'm sure they'll cooperate. The only way the Grog Toolbar will work with the KS mod is if they abandoned their toolbar and associated files all together. And that won't happen! :woohoo:

This should not happen, there are no dud formations, or, there shouldn't be.

Check that the subordinates aren't TC'd. Also check that the unit giving the formation isn't occupied with the enemy, they'll refuse commands you know.

Hope this gets resolved, please keep me updated, yea or nay. Thanks for the report. :)

Anyone else seeing this?

Update to version 4.1...
-Unitpack file edited to only include Load sprite data thus minimizing mod conflicts
Discovered this conflict immediately with my mod BloodBath Waterloo. Now, regardless of priority in Modifications, there are no conflicts between the two.
-Toolbar structure updated to better accommodate wide resolutions
Toolbar segments are now combined together on one main layout so width adjustments can be made by adjusting just one coordinate, and position by another.
-Optional toolbar layouts provided for wide resolutions, 66W and 80W (rename to toolbar to enable)
These two layouts are available to replace the toolbar.layout file, simple renaming is all that is required to test out which size works best for specific resolutions.
- Integrated the Bang Begone mod.
-Toolbar buttons adjusted for lower profile

Upon seeing Roy and Stardog's wide screenshots the wheels started churning about the possibility of a smaller toolbar for lower resolutions, a toolbar that is not so dominate on the battlescreen. So, after much tweaking and number crunching I've come up with a three quarter sized reproduction, guess we'll call it the Grog Toolbar Mini. I've tested it at the default resolution of 1024 x 768 and it works fine, beyond that is anyone's guess. Only drawback I can see is that the text is eye-squinting small, at least for me, but I think it will be OK for younger eyes. Try it out if ya want, I can't guarantee I'll update it beyond this, but feedback and demand may make it a keeper.

Unzip and copy to the Mods\Expanded Toolbar IV - Grog\Layout folder, rename previous toolbar file first:
