Advanced Scoreboard
by EmperorFool
This mod is released only as a component of the BUG Mod, not as a stand-alone mod.
This mod provides a fully customizable Scoreboard. It allows you to specify exactly which pieces to show and in what order. It also adds the option to display icons for the technologies your rivals are researching rather than their names (of course they are displayed only when you are allowed to know about them). It integrates the following (optional) mods:
- 'Dead Civ Scoreboard' by TheLopez
will remove or gray out and/or mark as 'Dead' civilizations which have died within the game - 'Attitude Icons' by Porges
will add smilies which change based on the civilizations attitude towards you. - 'Score Delta' by Caesium
will display the score variation towards previous turn. - 'Reversible Power Ratio' by Dresden
will allow to choose to calculate the power ratio as 'You vs. Them' (higher numbers are better) or 'Them vs. You' (lower numbers are better); it also allows you to select the number of decimal places for the ratio.
Instructions
The Advanced Scoreboard can be configured in the Scoreboard tab of the BUG Options Screen (Alt+Ctrl+O). Selecting the 'Advanced Layout: Enabled' checkbox, you can fully customize the Scoreboard.
The 'Column Order' text box allows you to choose which items to show in the Scoreboard and in which order, simply by typing the corresponding code in the box (the edit box has hover text detailing the available codes). The codes that you can use in this box, to display the corresponding items, are the following (note that the last three (*LO) are displayed only for your opponents in a multiplayer game, the first four (SZVC) and State Religion (R) are displayed even for your Civilization, while the others are displayed only for your opponents):
- S displays the civ's score
- Z displays the civ's score variation towards previous turn (if the 'Score Delta' checkbox is selected and according to what is selected in the 'Include Current Turn' checkbox)
- V displays a silver star if the civ has at least one vassal
- C displays the civ's/leader's name (according to what is selected in the 'Display Name' and 'Use Player Name' checkboxes, and aligned according to what is selected in the 'Left-Align' checkbox)
- ? displays a question mark if you have not yet met the civ
- W displays a crossed swords icon if you are at war with the civ, or a peace symbol icon if you have signed a Peace Treaty with the civ
- P displays the civ's power ratio compared to you (according to the values which have been selected in the 'Power Ratio' option boxes)
- T displays the tech the civ is researching, if it is known to you (as icon or name according to what is selected in the 'Research Icons' checkbox)
- U displays the number of research turns left, if it is known to you (for vassals, for team-mates or by espionage)
- E displays a spy icon if you have a positive espionage point ratio against the civ.
- N displays a trade icon if the civ is connected to your trade network
- B displays a parchment icon if you have an Open Borders agreement with the civ
- D displays a parchment icon (different from the previous one) if you have a Defensive Pact with the civ
- R displays the the civ's state religion
- A displays an icon showing the civ's attitude toward you (if the 'Attitude Icons' checkbox is selected)
- H displays an angry man icon if you are the Worst Enemy of the civ (if the 'Worst Enemy Icons' checkbox is selected)
- M displays a red fist if the civ is mobilizing for war or in a war itself (a.k.a. We Have Enough on Our Hands)
- * displays an asterisk when you are waiting for this civ to finish its turn
- L displays civ's network stats (ping)
- O the network player is 'out-of-sync'
- number set the number of spacing pixels after the previous column (the default spacing value is ignored for columns with a specified spacing value; negative values are acceptable to bring two columns closer together)
- space ignored, for making the sequence of codes more readable
