I think createMap has been imporoved not to re-initialize every time either in 2.1 or in the next version.

[Jor'Mox]

I never understood why the mapper that is created can't be manipulated via moveWindow and resizeWindow... seems like they would be the logical way to interact with it.

[icesteruk]

With using Jor'Mox WindowManager this is what I've came up with so far.. Each button is clickable and changings the 'screen' below to what it should represent....

I thank him deeply for his help and my confusing questions..

Does anyone know how to make the 'afflictions' show without that huge gap?

[Jor'Mox]

That is a placement issue. What coordinates and sizes are you assigning to the afflictions button and the bigger window that it opens?

[icesteruk]

its a console .. but I have a 'refreshAffs()' function to update it, I use this already in my other system (the first pic with the different color affs)

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

local myaffs = {}
	
	for k,v in pairsByKeys(afflictions) do
		if v and not table.isMember(aff_ignore, k) then
			local aff_color = aff_highlights[k] and ("<" .. aff_highlights[k] .. ">") or ""
			table.insert(myaffs, aff_color .. k .. "<white>")
		end
end
	for i=1,#myaffs,1 do
cecho("WindowConsoleShow", "<white>" .. myaffs[i])
cecho("WindowConsoleShow", ", ")
echo("WindowsConsoleShow", string.rep(" ", (12-#myaffs[i])))
	end

so I wouldn't have thought it was that since only difference is in the first pic I use

WindowConsoleShow:echo .. and in this I use echo("windowsconsoleshow", .... :/

the windowconsoleshow is

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

createMiniConsole("WindowConsoleShow", 8, 80, 20, 400, 400)
windowManager.add("WindowConsoleShow", "MiniConsole", "1%", "12%", "33%", "47%", "topright")


setLabelStyleSheet("WindowConsoleShow",[[
		fontSize = font_size,
		x = "10%", y = "35%",
		width = "200", height = "400",
color = white	;]])

clearWindow("WindowConsoleShow")   

[Jor'Mox]

Wait. So your issue is with the text inside the console, or with where the console is placed?

Also, did you just successfully use setLabelStyleSheet on a mini console?

So, what is your problem with the text? I can't really tell what is going on in that pic.

[icesteruk]

the "Clumsiness (huge space), destroyleft (huge space), destroyleftar (hugespace)" etc .. it should be "clumsiness, destroyleft, ... etc

Yeah I change the setLabelStylesheet to be similar to how my miniconsoles in my other system work, so just to change sizes / font color and it works perfect .. The WindowManager, made it so much easier I've even changed alot of it so I can change the colors with little effect

[Jor'Mox]

My guess would be that you are having issues measuring the length of the text, to determine how much space to use. And so, instead, you are using a fixed, overly large amount of space.

[icesteruk]

ah, hmm Im using the same code in the 2nd part as I am in the first ;/ I'll mess with it some more see whats happening..

[Jor'Mox]

Oh, so, side note... not sure what you did for the border on your miniConsole... but the way you are calling setLabelStyleSheet for that miniconsole is wrong (so it wouldn't do anything anyway), and calling it correctly (in a way that actually does something to a label) for a miniconsole does nothing. In theory, you can just comment out that whole bit and it will do the exact same thing.

That said, try using normal echo instead of cecho (I know it will look messed up), to see if there might be some difference. I know people have mentioned cecho being jacked up for them.
