JTCS Unit Viewer

Post by benpark »

This is a great tool. The new units are pretty impressive, and it allows me to familiarize myself with the changes.

(edited after finding a request I had was already in there!)

One more thing- is the number displayed below the unit name the .bit file for the unit? If not it would be good to have this info displayed for modding.

nope, the number is unique ID for unit

usually it is identical for bmp and bit files but sometimes unit use different file, I'll add unit's graphic file name to 3D icon's tooltip

btw...any other suggestion for improvement ?

Maybe some more slots for comparisons? I'd like to be able to have a print out of all the values for my units in a scenario.

it is out of the scope of my program but I'll probably use this idea in another utility
