Hey, would it be possible to add compatibiltiy with this mod?

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1623423360

They already have lots of compatibility mods, and since its literally the most downloaded mod on the workshop I think it would make sense to have compatibility.

No idea why Paradox just allows us to decide ourselfs if we want Spacebar pause in mp...

in this mod does not play only those who do not play multiplayer)

Ah shit, so it isnt compatible with any UI mods? That's what we always play with

Its updated and works. Its not compatible with mods changing the main.gui file in the interface folder.

I can't for the life of me get this mod to work right now. Did one of the updates break it?

I don't think so unfortunately. I don't play a lot of MP nowadays and I never really found the functionality necessary.

Any chance you would be up to adding in the + - functionality for speeding up and down time?

@Zero
Editing the previous message*:
Forgot to add, you'd want to make it something else but 'SPACE'.
That way in the single-player you wouldn't have a problem of insta pause/unpause.
Just to clear up, add # in front of alwaysTransparent = yes
That way it won't block the feature from appearing or change it to 'no'.

For me it's the 'RIGH', which is bound to my mouse, which in turn has 6 adjustable side buttons :D

Not getting this to work in our game. Do you have to make that tweak to the overhaul to work? That comment makes it sound like that's to make it clickable?

@brucethemoose:
If you want UI Overhaul Dynamic to have the pause option:
1. Go to: steamapps\workshop\content\281990\1623423360\interface
2. Open main.gui
3. Find and replace with the following text:
buttonType = {
name = "start_stop_icons"
quadTextureSprite = "GFX_start_stop_icons"
position = { x = -207 y = 10 }
orientation = upper_right
if_resolution = {
max_width = 1600
position = { x = -197 y = 10 }
}
frame = 1
shortcut = "SPACE"
clicksound = ui_click_pause
oversound = no_sound
# alwaysTransparent = yes
}

The 'alwaysTransparent = yes' was the line preventing hotkey usage.

Its updated for 3.6.1 yes

Does it work on 3.6.1? I disabled UI overhaul dyn. (only mod that contains a main.gui file), still no worky :(

Compat version for UI overhaul dynamic please?

I merged this block into UI Overhaul Dynamic:

buttonType = {
name = "start_stop_icons"
quadTextureSprite = "GFX_start_stop_icons"
position = { x = -207 y = 10 }
orientation = upper_right
shortcut = "SPACE"
if_resolution = {
max_width = 1600
position = { x = -197 y = 10 }
}
frame = 1
clicksound = ui_click_pause
oversound = no_sound
alwaysTransparent = yes
}

But it doesn't seem to be working in multiplayer? IDK what gives, that looks like the only line that was changed.

I have no other mods

This is tested and works with the latest patch 3.6.0.

You might be using incompatible mods?

doesn't work anymore

As a result it conflicts with UI Overhaul Dynamic mod, which is quite sad, as that one is very nice.

Thanks Tempted, appreciate the response despite missing what you wrote further down that's a stellar addition - thank you!

Yes it will conflict with any mod that changes the "interface/main.gui" file.

Could this conflict with another mod? I can't for the love of me get it to work on my end.

I Just updated it for 3.2. Try again now. Its working for me.

Is there some extra setup needed? Me & friend both have installed and at end of load order, doesnt work nothing happens on hitting spacebar.

I updated it for 3.1. Its in change notes.

Will this work with 3.1?

Update?

Thank you! I will give that a shot tonight.

In the mod folder find the interface/main.gui file.
In that file search for "start_stop_icons".
add "shortcut = "SPACE"" so that it looks like this:
buttonType = {
name = "start_stop_icons"
quadTextureSprite = "GFX_start_stop_icons"
position = { x = -50 y = 6 }
frame = 1
shortcut = "SPACE"
clicksound = ui_click_pause
oversound = no_sound
}

as for the other question I have no idea, its probably just a design choice.

Follow up question: When I tried this mod with the startrek new horizons mod, it did not play well with the custom UI. Is it a huge pain in the ass to make it compatible? I understand if you don't give a shit about doing it, but in general would it be hard for me to learn to do?

Yay! Thank you dude. This makes multiplayer playable for me. It blows my mind they don't let you spacebar pause in multiplayer. Is there a technical issue? Could this technically cause desyncs? If it was just a balance or fairness issue why don't they just make it a toggle in the lobby?

It should be. I mean it only adds a shortcut to a part of the ui.

I believe it is savegame compatible? We tried this on an already started game and it doesn't work. Or is it because of 3.0.1?

Thank you!

Will update asap.

I would be thankful for an update, if possible. This mod makes MP enjoyable for me, so thank you anyway.

Hm, this mod is causing crashs for me with 3.01. It is the only mod I ever used and after turning it off, my MP game works.

Seems like UI Dynamic Overhaul is the problem here. Shame.

Works for me on 2.7.2.
main.gui has not been changed since 2.7 release

Not working again

A hero without a cape, thank you!

Just updated it

Can I play the last version with this mod?

A true hero of the galaxy.

I placed it last in the load order, and now it works. Thanks!

Make sure you don't have other mods that change the same file. Try different load orders.
If its a launcher problem try resubscribing to the mod after removing it first.

Dosen't work for me? Tips to get it working?

Its still working for me without having to update.

Make sure you are not using other mods that change the main.gui file in the interface folder.

As of 5:12 PM 8/8/2019. The mod seems to be broken by an update (the processing power one I think?). My friend and I were really sad T___T

GENIUS THANK YOU YOU ARE MY MASTER

You are a hero <3
