Template Names Still Broken

Postby Sir_C » 11 May 2017, 02:22

Been reported before but it seems to have been forgotten, mousing over templates to see their name is not working. the name simply does not show up. also the setting for template names is something different as it creates a name below the template. (ps that name is also broken as it shows the name of the first unit placed and not the template name)

Hello Sir_C,

i updated the template scipt at "27 May 2016". Never saw a report after that.
- Can you search and show me this forgotten report ?

If you move your mouse over an template you won't see a tooltip with name.
- Right, there is no tooltip function.

And yes, template names are created under the templateicon.
If you create a template, it will have the name of the first selected unit. Then you can rename it.

Be sure, you set in options-> Interface:
Visible Template names = on
Template Name Cutoff = 0 (if you don't set this to 0, you names will be broken)

PS:
Template Name Cutoff does not mean, the template will cut to x letters.
Template names are always 7 letters long. Template Name Cutoff is acting as an offset:

Lets say your template name is "LAND Factory 1" and your Template Name Cutoff is = 0. Then the first 7 letters will be displayed:
"LAND Fa"

If you set the Template Name Cutoff to 1, the name will still have 7 letters, but starting at letter 2:
"AND Fac"

And with an Cutoff = 5 you will see:
"Factory"

Hope this helps.
