Submenus DLL

[memo 1,444]

Version 2.0.0 of the Submenus DLL is now available which brings the following changes:

• removed Exemplar Patching functionality. This is now implemented in the Resource Loading Hooks DLL, so Exemplar Patching doesn't depend on the Submenus DLL anymore. Make sure to upgrade to version 2.0.1 or later of the Resource Loading Hooks DLL.
• Flora improvements: Flora items can be added to any submenu now, even submenus outside the top-level Flora menu tree. Moreover, if Flora items belong to a submenu that hasn't been installed or is missing, those items will be displayed in the top-level Flora menu instead (just like buildings from missing submenus appear in their respective top-level menu).

Disregard my comment, this appears to be fixed.  The missing items are now in Parks menu- lumped with all the PEG pond stuff.  This is good, at least they are not fully removed from the game

Is it possible to implement these submenus?

• Signage (Noise barriers - 0x948a5e61 | Streetlights - 0x66e125d9)
• Green Spaces or Plazas  (Beach - 0x1c3780e4)

Apologies if this has been discussed before, I'm not sure of the right keywords to search for!

As a new player using this mod, I often get confused by not being able to find an item in the menu, until I realize that I'm currently in a submenu and need to back out by clicking on the primary menu icon. The only way I've noticed of being able to see I'm in a submenu is if the menu is long enough to have the up and down arrows. Is there any possibility of adding an indicator somewhere to show when you're inside a submenu, maybe in the horizontal connector?

Hi!

The last version has this arrow as a tip, just like you suggested:

I made these buttons, in case they are useful.

For the standard menus, I prefer to stick to just 1 level of nesting, i.e. just top-level submenus, to avoid unnecessarily deep menus. Especially the noise barriers or streetlights, I imagine, would usually come in sets with their own sub-submenus which could go directly into the Signage submenu. So you'd have 2 levels of nesting instead of 3.

Hello, I am getting back into playing SC4 after a long while, and  I am having trouble figuring out how to install this mod using the sc4pac mod installer. I opened the SC4pac GUI and found the mod, but I'm not sure how to actually install it. Underneath the pictures for the mod, there's a button that says 'Add explicitly to the plugins folder.' When I click that button, it says 'Added to the plugins folder explicitly,' but then underneath that, it shows as 'not installed.' 

So what do I need to do to install this mod using sc4pac?

Thanks.

EDI: NVM I was able to figure it out.
