Adding a new Panel to the UITown

Hi,

maybe someone has experience adding additional buttons into the game. I probably just need one example, but I'll show you what I have tried so far. The following code will simply show me a lot of names of all widgets on the town UI.

string s = ""; if (UITown.instance != null) { if (UITown.instance.panel != null) { List<UIWidget> listUIW = UITown.instance.panel.widgets; foreach (UIWidget uiw in listUIW) { s += " " + uiw.name; } } } UIStatusBar.Show(s);

My target is currently to reverse engineer how the menu is made up. A town menu has several buttons for - let me call them - panels. Examples are the "Rumours", "Ships" or "Vault" buttons.

Then I wanted to add another button to the panel, but when I stumpled upon the UIPanel.widgets properties, the documentation [1] says, I should not attempt to modify the widgets of a UIPanel myself. Hm :/

Now my questions are as follows:

Which property modifies the label "Rumours", "Vault", etc.? So, how do I change "Rumours" into "Taverne"?
How do I add another button to the town panel? I would like to add a taverne

Town panel has child game objects. Some of them are useful to you.

Town panel name: "[02] Window - Town". Its children are:

Tabs
Cargo Content
Inventory Content
Quest Content
Ships Content
Rumors Content
Vault Content

Each of those has more children, and some have scroll views which have a panel of their own. So to answer your question, to change "Rumors" into "Taverne", easiest way would be to just do it in the Localization file. No mucking around with code required. Just find the line that starts with "Rumors" and change its translations to something else.

However, if you really wanted to modify the label itself...

GameObject.Find("5. Rumors").GetComponentInChildren<UILabel>().text = "Something";

That said, that label has UILocalize script attached which will overwrite whatever you set the text to by pulling the value from the Localization. So yes... use Localization. Don't try to change the text manually.
