I'm aware the mod author knows about issues and is working on them, but just reporting the issues a friend and I are having as potential data for them to hunt down said issues - for me, I didn't notice any problems because I use the Filled Rectangle mode by default for most things, but when my friend encountered a problem in their game and I went to check, I found that no form of selection (drop-down list, using the arrows to scroll, etc) will actually register a change in my shape. No matter what shape I try to change to, it keeps just doing Filled Rectangle.

My friend had an identical problem with a twist - for some reason, they got defaulted to Empty Rectangle, and can't change off of it. (No idea how that happened.) We're probably both going to remove the mod until it's fixed, and thanks and good wishes to the mod author for being right on that, but again, just reporting our experiences in case that helps track down whatever's causing this.

Appreciate you still working on it, it's a shame that official versions of mods like this tend to be sub-par.

Turns out this needs a lot of changes to get working right in space and with new planning and such. Still working on it. Thanks for the patience.

Shouldn't hurt your save game to uninstall.

There's a setting that makes it auto-detect where to put the menu and it's hiding it behind the other UI, so make sure you go in mod settings to disable the option that auto-sets the locaiton and then adjust it manually.

@Entewilderin

I'm not sure about deleting the vanilla version - though that would be nice.

Your Shapes menu shouldn't move after you adjust it, though - you should only need to move it manually once.

Can you try enabling 'Lock the window in place' (found in the Mod Options under 'Window Y') after dragging it into position?

Before the update this mod would automatically switch to hollow rectangle for walls and filled rectangle for floors for me, but this functionality doesn't seem to be working anymore. I checked to make sure auto-select is turned on in the mod settings.

Shame the updates inferior version of the mod breaks it.

Filling a circle will result in a hollow

I can deal with this mods UI being behind the vanilla one (its a simple click to use this mods UI) however, WHY does this mod keep reverting my selection back to hollow rectangle (its acting like its the default option) when I select FULL, its driving me insane :D , is this a conflict with the vanilla one?

@lxe is there a mod that deletes the vanilla version given its objectively complete and utter inferiority compared to this mod?

Changing the numbers does naught but resolve it temporarily and pausing every two minutes to change the numbers is destroying my calm demeanor.

@Cleftin Twain

Try the following:
1. Load/Start a game
2. go to 'Options' -> 'Mod Options' -> 'Designator Shapes'
3. look for 'Window Y' option
4. Change this option from '-1' to some positive integer, i.e. '500'
5. Open an Order that would normally give you a Shapes menu (ex. 'Mine)
6. See if you can see the Shapes window. It may be fully visible but far above the currently open menu on the left. If you still don't see it, try changing the 'Window Y' option to some other value, maybe '100', etc.
7. If you can see the Shapes window, you can now drag it into whatever position you desire.

The issue is that the Shapes menu is appearing *behind* the new vanilla shapes selector.

I have enabled and disabled it a few times now testing to make sure it was what broke and I have not had any issues emerge from doing so.

No expert, but double up your save file and run a test. Go back to the second save if something breaks, but didn't seem like it for me.

Does uninstalling designator shapes have the potential to break anything in your save?

Well, at least it's the same issue plaguing a few us.

Odessy Adds its own controls, and the controls for this mod are a bit obscure. What you are probably seeing are the oddessy controls as this mod always defaults to hollow Rectangle. But you are probably seeing the Odessy controls and not this mods.

I'm also unable to select anything except for hollow rectangle.

same with everything in zone tab

after update stockpile zone is locked in empty rectangle and im unable to change it to other shapes

I can't get this mod to work after the update. I don't get a Shapes menu and all of my tools only select items at the very edges.

o7 thx

yup not working in orbit

You were the best of the best, soldier. o7

This mod doesn't work in orbit with odyssey, only on planet.

better

true

still better than vanilla lol

Would it be possible to have this mod overwrite the 1.6 shapes? this is honestly still better since it allows you to do more things but when I enable it, it conflicts with vanilla.

o7. Ainda é útil, e obrigado pelo seu trabalho.

This mod is better than what they added, I’m gonna keep using this

broken in space, only allows empty rectangle regardless of selected shape

@iceMaverick

Kinda, I can select any shape, but it doesn't matter. It's always hollow box.

o7

@IceMaverick Same here. I noticed that for me, at least, it's only happening on gravships and it worked fine on land.

@pklemming the mod is called "relevant stats in description"
