640x480x32:

Extract to Robot Arena 2 > UI > Botlab

The import bot list features up to 32 extra bots (from 8 to 40 bots) in the bot list viewable while scrolling. Great for those who have a lot of bots in their robot designs folder!

It contains a much longer team list for AI packs with up to 6 bots. No glitchy buttons :) great for use with massive AI packs like Ultimate stock AI.

Very well done. Nice work. I'm looking for something like this for centuries. I have like a thousand bots.
Too bad only, that we can't have the list a mile long

Still not long enough for me.
Downloading and testing now...

Thanks :) 4 extra bots showing might not be much now but I ran into a problem with the bottom of the scroll bar going below the box, so I'll try and see if I can make that longer too and update the file.

Import bot list now much longer :)

Download is in the OP. Enjoy!

The crowd is screaming :
FULL HEIGHT SCREEN, FULL HEIGHT SCREEN, FULL HEIGHT SCREEN, FULL HEIGHT SCREEN, FULL HEIGHT SCREEN, FULL HEIGHT SCREEN...

Big enough Venko? 38 bots viewable :P should make finding your bots easier lol.

Good job.

Venko · « **Reply #7 on:** March 22, 2013, 03:24:28 PM »

Joking, excellent, nice work Ianh.

Updates:

1024x768x32 is now the height of the full screen (2 (and a half) extra bots for Venko!), updated the comparison picture.

Added 800x600x32 and 640x480x32 resolution downloads to the OP and provided screenshots of the new list for each. Each one gives you an import bot list the maximum height possible for that resolution.

With 37 teams on the scroll list visable at one time navigating massive AI packs has never been easier! You can fit INF AI and Re-stocked OR the whole Starcore AI all on the same screen without the need to scroll down.

Lower resolutions coming sometime later.

Awesome job! Where do I put the GIB files to make it work?

ianh05 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 28, 2013, 08:27:29 PM »

Robot Arena 2 > UI > Exhibition.

I guess you have many replica teams?

Yep, I'm at like 65

Any other suggestions on things that could be improved with the UI? I can move stuff around and make stuff bigger (maybe some other things too).

Trovaner · « **Reply #14 on:** March 28, 2013, 09:19:58 PM »

You could probably use percentages instead of pixels (that way everything resizes to work in any resolution and it will make your job much easier). I would love to see the rest of the UI also converted but you probably don't have enough time to do that...

ianh05 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 28, 2013, 09:23:03 PM »

Which UI stuff could be converted? I have plenty of time

It's not much of a hassle to fix the other resolutions once you understand the ballpark the numbers should be in.

Perhaps people would like a mod that allows for 8 bots on a team (AW, BW, LW, MW, CW, HW, SHW, UHW)?

Update - Added lower resolution downloads for longer AI team list.

Thanks for this!

Please JayDee

Do not bump old threads unsell you have something really importand to add to it.

Just saying thank you in an thread in wich the latest post was made over a year ago does count as pointless bumping.

Indeed. If you want to add something to an old thread make sure it is relevant and interesting.
