Thanks! This UI is really nice!
Riekopo 30 Dec, 2023 @ 2:25pm 
Update please
JAGDTIGER 30 Nov, 2023 @ 9:16am 
dead mod, dead game
Riekopo 12 Nov, 2023 @ 12:28pm 
Update?

Please fix recruitment and construction que in the corners, which collides with other UI.
Trident121 4 Jul, 2023 @ 12:06pm 
Does it work still?
Cold Stoned Steven 8 Jun, 2023 @ 9:33am 
does this get rid of the ugly status wheel?

I hope the developer of this mod is ok. I'm not bothered as much by the UI but would love to try this one.
Riekopo 13 Dec, 2022 @ 4:18am 
Any eta on an update? Game is hard to play without this mod.
Dugunthi 10 Nov, 2022 @ 8:45am 
It's correct that recruitment and building queues are obstructed in the current version, but even with such a flaw it still beats vanilla by a mile, and makes the game playable. Thanks a lot.

Можно ли как-то увеличить размер интерфейса ?

This mod makes the game playable, thank god you made this mod @sebese!

I just couldnt play the original UI... it sucks
Bastiproton 29 Mar, 2022 @ 5:37am 
You can't even see recruitment and construction in the corners, because there's other
UI on top of it. Otherwise seems great.
Riekopo 17 Feb, 2022 @ 10:59pm 
You can talk to developer EdwinSmith_Feral#5211 on the Rome Remastered Community Discord.
sebese  [author] 9 Jan, 2022 @ 5:34am 
Yes, I'll update this mod eventually, it's just that I have A LOT on my mind right now including serious health issues to deal with... unfortunately

And, tbh, even though I sent my suggestions to Feral and they were aware of them, in the end they didn't solve the modding issues mentioned under PLANNED (as far as I know) and they'll no longer update the game with "new features" meaning they'll never solve those UI modding problems. So I'm still not sure how to solve this and what to do with unmovable campaign map in upper right corner, or whether I can do something with news panel that would make it more readable. We shall see.

Please update to 2.0.4
ERROR 24 Dec, 2021 @ 1:35pm 
Yes plase Update! This mod is mandatory
Riekopo 15 Dec, 2021 @ 9:35pm 
Please update! This is the best mod for the game.
Riekopo 4 Nov, 2021 @ 6:42pm 
You can email Feral and tell them what modding capabilities you want added so you can perfect your mod. support@feralinteractive.com
sebese  [author] 5 Oct, 2021 @ 5:41am 
All working properly but sometimes some elements of the UI (a button, or yes queues, for example) may appear "frozen" and non-interactive. Not sure if it has something to do with changed positions or it's actually a vannila bug, haven't really checked on vannila. But all you have to do is uncklick the city panel completely and then click on the same city again, it should work properly.

can you make unit recruitment queen interactive, i cant cancel a already in queen unit
async 25 Sep, 2021 @ 12:42pm 
I love you man
sebese  [author] 3 Sep, 2021 @ 10:44am 
I think that's not possible, you can't add new elements and UI texture that exists is basically the same texture/gradient used across all windows
Riekopo 2 Sep, 2021 @ 7:09pm 
The diplomacy screen used to have a nice background behind the scroll. Can you add it back into Remastered?
sebese  [author] 2 Sep, 2021 @ 7:39am 
No problem, enjoy! @OldTotalWarrior
OldTotalWarrior 30 Aug, 2021 @ 1:56pm 
I've uploaded my new Alternative UI and I've given you credit for the work you did that I used.
JAGDTIGER 22 Aug, 2021 @ 8:47am 
i also have the same problem since many weeks and its certainly not a problem with this mod. although since the last update this window now always pops up in the background, so its even more annoying.. must be linked directly to the game
OldTotalWarrior 22 Aug, 2021 @ 8:13am 
Thanks. I always used the My Mods folder.
sebese  [author] 22 Aug, 2021 @ 3:11am 
Truth be told, at first I also edited the mod from my steam directory but then I run into some problems during upload and Edwin warned me it shouldn't be done like that - only ever edit mods from within your My Mods appdata directory, never from steam directory.
sebese  [author] 22 Aug, 2021 @ 3:08am 
Weird. Never seen it. Did you make a copy of the steam mod in your local My Mods folder before making changes to the file? Maybe that's the culprit, if not no idea. Sounds like something to report to Feral perhaps.
OldTotalWarrior 21 Aug, 2021 @ 7:23pm 
I have a persistent problem that shows up when I use my new version of the UI. When I click on "Play" on the mod page I get a small white rectangle with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it and an "OK' box. The game will continue after I click on the OK box and seems to all work. I wonder if this ever happened to you. This occurs when I have changed the campaignuiright.pos file.
JAGDTIGER 21 Aug, 2021 @ 12:17pm 
it worked. now i am a happier man again. thanks a lot!
sebese  [author] 21 Aug, 2021 @ 11:48am 
Sure, the steam folder. Here is how it looks for me: Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\885970\2534869844

But best copy this 2534869844 folder, past it into
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Feral Interactive\Total War ROME REMASTERED\Mods\My Mods
name it something else like Better UI My Version and then make changes. Then you should be able to update the original Better UI mod without troubles in future, in case of updates. But for now, on launch just play your own version from My Mods folder and disable the original one from workshop.
JAGDTIGER 21 Aug, 2021 @ 11:39am 
alright, thanks a lot for the indepth reply and especially for helping me to fix it for myself! it may sound a bit stupid, but could you be so friendly please to tell me the path where the file is located? i tried the feral appdata, steam folder, the folder the game is located in.. and found nothing. maybe the win10 search is also bad, i dont know..
sebese  [author] 21 Aug, 2021 @ 11:17am 
What I did is hide those recruitment/building rows as much as I could while keeping them usable, not ideal but a compromise. You can still see your first building in a queue quite clearly (which is how many players play the game anyway rather than spam all the slots all at once) and lots of recruitment slots along with their turn number. Also, which may not be immedietely obvious, if you hover with your mouse over settlement/army icons (the ones you use to switch between 4 main panels) you'll then see the overview of complete building / recruitment queues. In case you added lots of projects/units and want to see them all to know what's going on. For now, I leave it that way but you're welcome to move them a bit higher and uncover all the rows. Just change the "y" value for campaigngnuiright.pos file, what you're looking for are construction_queue and recruitment_queue lines. Cheers!
sebese  [author] 21 Aug, 2021 @ 11:16am 
The purpose of the mod is to minimize clutter and distractions, JAGDTIGER. In original RTW the trained units and buildings in production were only visible in the city panel on double click, not shown ALWAYS whenever you one click a settlement or even an army - which is a standard behavior in Remastered that can't be changed (they're shown even if they're empty!) and I find it quite distracting, personally.
sebese  [author] 21 Aug, 2021 @ 11:14am 
The mod isn't optimized for 110% UI and above, on most smaller screens it'll be oversized for certain.
OldTotalWarrior 19 Aug, 2021 @ 5:55am 
Hi! I found that the diplomacy screen is oversized for 110% and 120% UI.
JAGDTIGER 19 Aug, 2021 @ 3:07am 
i like this overall a lot and thanks for the quick fix for the latest patch! but the only thing i really dislike is how currently trained units and buildings in production get almost entirely hidden below the standard UI on the campaign map in the left and right lower corners (even seen on your screenshots). if this could get fixed/improved it would be almost perfect. thanks for your work in improving this rather poor remastered!
sebese  [author] 15 Aug, 2021 @ 2:37pm 
Update 2.0.2 Ready.
sebese  [author] 14 Aug, 2021 @ 1:27pm 
He said he was not sure about it but I figured it out today. Additional clipping is basically the crop function. The "visible area" of the frame. Unfortunately not very helpful where I tried to use it because it's not a static function - it moves together with animations so can't get rid of animation artifacts in certain situation, for example. So I opted for minimal optimal solution rather than perfect.
Also, yeah maybe they'll post something more on github eventually.
OldTotalWarrior 14 Aug, 2021 @ 7:41am 
Thanks. If you're in contact with Edwin maybe you could ask him if Feral could post a guide of some sort to these files in their mod support section on GitHub.com .
sebese  [author] 14 Aug, 2021 @ 2:20am 
Ah, the additional_clipping. Yeah no idea, it doesn't seem to do anything whenever I changed it so I just leave it as is, and true the system put in place is most likely their original work. I'll ask Edwin on Discord about the clipping, doubtful it's useful and important but who knows.
OldTotalWarrior 13 Aug, 2021 @ 8:48pm 
OK. I was hoping that the UI override .pos files were part of a language but apparently they are something that Feral cooked up.
Do you know what the "additional clipping" that shows up in frame definitions is about? What does it do?
Example:
"additional_clipping":
[
{
"x": 0 ,
"y":-20,
"width": 1820 ,
"height":840,
"anchor":"BR",
"align":"BR"
},

Thanks.
sebese  [author] 13 Aug, 2021 @ 2:09pm 
Btw, I think (if possible) I'll change settlement details a bit and merge it with recruitment/builder window somehow. Because they changed the behavior, now when double clicked on settlement both builder AND settlement details show up, so there is a conflict it becomes messy. Plus public order / growth tables' changed spacing is weird and now need even more wide space to show correctly. Still, I think some other things with spacing are fixed thanks to whatever they changed now.
sebese  [author] 13 Aug, 2021 @ 1:44pm 
Hey OldTotalWarrior, not sure what you're trying to do, tell me maybe I'll know the answer, cheers.
OldTotalWarrior 11 Aug, 2021 @ 12:58pm 
Hi! Thanks for the great modding work you've done.
I'm looking for a source for an good explanation of the coding for the .pos files. I'm working on a mod of my own and I have them mostly figured out but there are a few things that I don't quite understand. I've searched on the internet but haven't found anything. Thanks.
SilentSam7 25 Jul, 2021 @ 5:12pm 
Anyone else missing a drop siege equipment button during battles?

Solid mod, thamks!
sebese  [author] 22 Jul, 2021 @ 11:56am 
@SenseiJT92 Try to play it on 2k or 1080 (or smaller) and read (comfortably) long descriptions. LOL. Also, some of us prefer bigger description/builder images and less UI clutter on huge screens to enjoy the experience (rather than other way around).

About Update 2.02 - it breaks quite a lot, i'll start working on it when I have time.
SenseiJT92 17 Jul, 2021 @ 3:26pm 
the UI is fine tbh, no idea why people have an issue with it - just elitist nonsense
