FLoPs style Tooltips in A2

posted on April 11th, 2012, 9:59 am

Hello there,

At the urge of my beta tester, I've been trying to add FleetOps style tooltips (with information about weapon types, damage, shields etc) to my mod. Unfortunately it just comes out as a large blurb of text rather than formatted line by line like in Fleet Ops. Is this a FleetOps only thing, or is there some trick to getting it to work in regular A2?

It can work in stock A2, you just don't get the icons and things like that. Pressing Enter to start the next line should work in tooltips, though I'm sure it would only work in the Dynamic_Localized_Strings file.

Ah, figured it might be that. See me personally, I'd say read the manual for those details but my beta tester insists people need these things. Ah well, duty calls! I'll give it a go using a dynamic strings reference and see what happens. Thanks Tyler.
