[PATCH] Raise alert positioning

[rogue-spectre]

I enjoy the new raise/increase alert buttons. I think would be even better with little modification.

1 - align buttons in order when "raise alert" is pressed the "increase alert level" is positioned at the exact same place as "raise alert" was in order to save time when the enemy is coming.

2 - move the position of the end alert in order it's not under "increase alert level" to avoid canceling the previous order by over clicking to raise alert.

3 - change a little the color of the "increased alert level"

Nice catch, I'm feeling same.

Hi again, just created a patch to improve this. It might be temporary but i think it is better like this.

I was wondering if it was a good idea to merge the two icons and use right click to decrease the level of alert… I did not find how to use right click for now.

Pictures go in /binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/ui/session/icons.

Hi, I finally took some time to write myself a patch.

Your patch can't be committed because we lack space in the unit commands panel and having a disabled button in it for 95% of the time was just not an option.

As a solution, I propose moving the alert buttons to the garrison panel. Tell me if it suits your needs as a player.

Hi,

I tested your patch yesterday. The position is ok for the two other players of Ageof i asked to and me. The only thing to add ( and the other players agreed ) would be to have a difference between the bell for increasing the level once and the bell for increasing the level twice, in order the level of alert is more obvious. In the patched i previously wrote i used the existing yellow bell for increasing once and a modified red bell for increasing twice, you could use it, and the patch would be 100% ok for me.

In 16670:

Enhance the alert buttons by moving them to the garrisoning panel. Also add a new icon for the maximum level of alert.

Suggestion and testing by rogue-spectre, fixes #2474.

Thanks for testing and giving feedback! I improved my patch a bit by hiding disabled buttons. I also used an icon I made instead of yours for the maximum level, because I wanted to have a more realistic icon. I hope you don't mind :)
