Resize the Platforms List GUI?

[sarge945]

I'm trying to change the size of the Platforms list (that shows the planets and your platforms at the left hand side of the map screen)

I can change styles of other things, like the undelete_space_platforms_table as a test by setting their height to 0, but I can't seem to find the platforms table anywhere.

I can normally do something like this

Code: Select all

style.undelete_space_platforms_table.height = 0

But I've tried heaps of gui elements and I can't seem to find the platforms/planets list. Is it's size hard coded? Is it part of the default gui styles?

Have you tried the Ctrl + F6 style debug option? Turning it on and hovering over a GUI element gives you information on the styles it uses, might have something useful there?

Thanks, this was mighty helpful and I didn't even know it existed!

Loooks like it uses the SurfaceList class

Interestingly, surfacelist is not mentioned anywhere in the docs or in data.raw

The issue is that it doesn't seem to be a "real" UI. The map screen doesn't send on_gui_opened events, nor does surfacelist appear in the default styles.

Mods don't have access to base game GUIs, and classes mean nothing to mods. You can only change styles. If there is a style that's used just for this element, which is rare, that's good. If not, you're out of luck.
Your best bet would be hiding it (using game view settings) and recreating it yourself, which might come at the cost of some functionality since not everything is exposed to lua.

That seems like a lot of extra work for what is otherwise a very minor feature.
