Coloured Morale & Fatigue text

Description
This mod adds a colour scheme to the text of Morale, Fatigue and effects on Units. This makes it much easier to understand a unit's situation at a glance from the colour, rather than having to read all white text.

The colour scheme in order of best to worse goes through Green to Yellow to Orange to Red.

I recommend combining this with a larger font mod to make it even more easy to see.

Compatibility:

This mod only uses the random_localisation_strings.loc text table, so it will conflict with other mods which use that, however most don't change that file as it only contains normal text lines, so it should be compatible with the majority of mods.

Overhaul mods probably do use that text file, in which case can you should manually open this mod file and copy the specific morale lines into the other mod. They're easy to find because they use this type of colour coding.

"[[rgba:8:252:0]]Confident[[/rgba:8:252:0]]"

Use:

Anyone can take this and use it in their mods.

I think your right about the text. I think maybe the solution is in data.pack, ui, battle ui, minimised_unit_tooltip, but cannot decipher the values. I might mess around plugging in some random numbers, see what happens. Still an amazing mod, thank you!:KneelingBow:

I am not sure why it does it, adding the colour coding to the text may trick the game into thinking it's longer somehow. Font mods may be able to solve it.

Been trying to figure out a fix for the cut off text, so far no luck, anyone have any ideas?

I know right. I think it can be done for empire and napoleon too in the same way, but they dont have a steam workshop.

What is the file of the mod called? Can't find it in ModManager for some reason.

In my S2 the text is cut off at the bottom without this mod, I assumed its because of my 2k resolution for an old game. I don't know how to fix this, people should play around, all i've really done is figure out how to add colour to text. S2 also needs a lot of other UI improvements.

This mod is a must have, no matter if you're hoarding mods or you love staying vanilla. So simple, yet so useful!
