So, Paradox, when are you fixing the UI?

[Fincap]

Modders have been doing this since release, without even changing the checksum. Why haven't you fixed it yet? It's something so simple yet so aggrevating. I can't play without the bigger UI mods. There is literally no benefit to what it currently looks like. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here's a comparison.

Is this one of your implementations in 1.9?

 

[Ak1995]

There is nothing to "fix" when something isnt broke.
I dislike the big one, and never dislike the shorter one.

if you want the big one then keep use the mod?

 

[Fincap]

Can I ask why you prefer the smaller version? I honestly cannot see how. The bigger one means you can access things quicker and have a better overview of your options.

 

[Freudia]

There's nothing broken. You're allowed to use your big UI mod, and I'm allowed to stick with the smaller window, which I prefer.

 

[Ak1995]

i just see it as waste of space, and not very good looking for the eye.
its not hard to scroll with the mouse either :/.

tis is mere opionions, if anything, then it would be best to add in options how people want their interfaces.

I'm also using the Bigger Diplomacy View and Bigger Peace View mods, but I could think of two reasons why some people wouldn't.

1. They take up a more screen space, thus showing you less of the map.
2. They require a certain minimum screen resolution, and therefore don't work on older monitors.

Those are good points. Maybe a better idea for paradox would be to implement a form of UI scaling?

 

[Ak1995]

welp easiest will just be adding options how people want it imo.
would be nice such culutural themes for interfaces for nations.

Or just continue the non-checksum changing mod?
I like being able to see the map and prefer the smaller view. One thing I would like fixed is the Casus Belli part which no mods fixes.

 

[troutblock]

If they fix 100% of all bugs then maybe they could take a look at this, but as this option already exists through the mod then it would be a waste of their resources don't you think?

Are you referring to the fact that all the CBs are stacked on top of each other? I also would like to have a mod that separates the different kinds of CBs.

They already have a primitive form of UI scaling. They have different sized panels for different sized resolutions for the Military Tab, the Mission tab, Trade tab, Government tab but, for some reason, they don't have it for the Diplomacy Tab. Also there's no way of modding in the scaling so you'd have to use different mods for different resolutions but the author of the mod only supports 1920x1080 for Bigger Diplomacy.

This is something that should be implemented by Paradox, not modders. Most modern games have UI scaling but Paradox still lives in the 90's. They lack competent UI designers and they have absolutely no knowledge of recent developments in UI and UX.

Lol @ the people preferring a cramped miniature UI.

 

[Cossack8559]

Laugh all you want, i prefer the smaller one too. I like to keep all my tabs closed anyway so the bigger UI really does nothing except take up more map space for me.

It's a mod, it's very easy to install. If you want to use it then use it, don't try and force your preferences on other people.

It still is way too big for 720p resolutions. I had a tiny screen until some months ago, and the UI is suffocatingly large, there.

Stop forcing your preference for a small UI on us then. You should install a mod if you want a smaller diplo UI.

Spoiler

see how that works?

Bigger Diplomacy is literally the only mod I have used and I have been using it for more than a year now. It needs to be the default.

That mod doesn't work on every resolution - http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/31852676941820975/70A5978A41B4AFA4694A9F7D3255B0425B832B7E/

Well guys, discussion is over - Xara said he likes that mod, which means everyone else loving it too. There should be hotfix with new UI in about five minutes.

 

[Xara]

That mod doesn't work on every resolution - http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc...asm is truth, friend. Thank you for agreeing.

I don't use larger UI mods because I actually need to be able to look at the map and act simultaneously. I rarely need to scroll more than one round on the wheel anyway. :0
