Long description

Long description
Mod requires EvoGUI. With both mods enabled, start a game and click EvoGUI settings button to toggle which sensors you want.

Sensors update whenever player moves, or every 10 seconds, whichever is sooner.

Temperature: Shows temperature in ºC at current player 1 position. The temperature of a tile is determined during map generation and remains fixed throughout the game; it doesn't change with time of day, night time, etc.

Elevation: Shows elevation in meters at current player 1 position.

Moisture Sensor: Displays the moisture level of the tile - set at time of map generation.

Roughness Sensor: Displays the roughness level of the tile - set at time of map generation

Terrain Sensor: Displays the type of terrain (grass, dirt, water, etc)

Shrubbery Sensor: Are you a shrubber? Names the shrubs and other decoration (including rocks).

Trees Sensor: Amazingly, this sensor provides information about trees. Well, just their name. Which is often just "Tree".

wow there's terrain elevation? Does it have any effect on anything?

[steinio]

Great.
Good work.

May I advertise my wind speed sensor - it's on the mod portal.

[aubergine18]

It was your sensor that inspired me to write this mod.

I still know very little about EvoGUI API so if there's anything I could improve lmk

[aubergine18]

v0.0.2 is out - simpler code, faster performance, and strings can now be localised.

[aubergine18]

v0.0.3 is out, complete with new name: EvoGUI: Tile Information Sensors

I've added a load of genuinely useless sensors, including the imitable SHRUBBERY SENSOR for great justice!

In fact, let me say that again in even bigger letters:

Code: Select all

 _____ _                _     _                     
/  ___| |              | |   | |                    
\ `--.| |__  _ __ _   _| |__ | |__   ___ _ __ _   _ *
 `--. \ '_ \| '__| | | | '_ \| '_ \ / _ \ '__| | | |
/\__/ / | | | |  | |_| | |_) | |_) |  __/ |  | |_| |
\____/|_| |_|_|   \__,_|_.__/|_.__/ \___|_|   \__, |
                                               __/ |
* May contain traces of rocks                 |___/ 

Anyway, the new sensors in all their glory are:

Moisture Sensor: Displays the moisture level of the tile - set at time of map generation.

Roughness Sensor: Displays the roughness level of the tile - set at time of map generation

Terrain Sensor: Displays the type of terrain (grass, dirt, water, etc)

Shrubbery Sensor: Are you a shrubber? Names the shrubs and other decoration (including rocks).

Trees Sensor: Amazingly, this sensor provides information about trees. Well, just their name. Which is often just "Tree".

Yeah aubergine, going large.

Thanks to your approach, i learned how to localise the displayed texts and can now show the real reasearch name in my sensor.
Thank you.
