civselect

civselect

This is an AOM-style civilisation selection dialog. The user can, by clicking an emblem, select a particular civ or group of civs, and see some basic information about it. Selecting a group of civs (ie the group of "European" civs) will cause one of the civs in the group to be selected at random upon match start.

The dialog is implemented as a separate page, and thus can be used elsewhere in the game's UI should the necessity arise. Also, I felt (at the time) that the code for the gamesetup page was really too convoluted to mess with.

This branch started off as a rebase of my 0ad-civselection-mod. I moved it here to permit easier tracking of changes of core content.

Known Problems:

• Some group emblems (particularly those for cultural groups) may not be appropriate.
• Modifies the gamesetup page. Which makes it not exactly mod-friendly.
