Description
Expanded Topbar Framework

The Expanded Topbar Framework adds a new topbar to the game with base game elements by default.

Also it can be extended easily by modders to add further custom elements that are mod specific.

This framework is structured to be load order agnostic by using Victoria 3's file loading behavior.

Documentation for modders is available on GitHub: https://github.com/Victoria-3-Modding-Co-op/Expanded-Topbar-Framework

Any questions, feel free to reach out via the Modding Co-op: https://discord.gg/C2tpZzg9Qc

Fully Configurable


Compatibility
This mod does NOT overwrite any base game elements and should be compatible with any mod.
The only possible incompatibility that can crop up is that another mod adds visual content in the same place as the Expanded Topbar Framework.

Base Topbar Elements
These elements are part of the base mod and can be used without any other mod installed:
  • Prestige
  • Power Bloc Prestige (If the country is in a Power Bloc)
  • Power Bloc Cohesion (If the country is in a Power Bloc)
  • Power Bloc Size (If the country is in a Power Bloc)
  • Legitimacy
  • Innovation
  • Companies
  • Charters
  • Army Size
  • Navy Size
  • Interests
  • Unemployed Pops
  • Subsistence Pops
  • Unrealized Taxes
  • Agitators
  • Market Balance
  • Market GDP

I was thinking that a useful element to add to the topbar would be the trade surplus/deficit data, and that when you hover the cursor over it, the information on the value of exports and imports would appear (as shown in the world market participants column) :Intelligentsia:

@ThePresident44 the X vs Checkmark I can look into to improve
BUT all the other issues are sadly not fixable because of the backend design.
This topbar is designed to be compatible with any other mod since it does not touch any part of the original GUI and that limits my interaction with the base game GUI.
The big positive of that is the fact that this mod is generally update save and should survive even major updates without patches

On the setup side I can not do anything since I can not save anything outside of the game state.

I like the effort! Really nice work on showing unemployed pops and peasant pops in the top bar too! I do have some issues with UI/UX though that prevent me from using the mod as my default:

- The buttons for adding elements (checkmark vs. red X) should be inverted, since X would imply to me that the item is OFF while a checkmark would imply that the item is checked/on

- The line between the base game top bar and this top bar is kinda ugly. It would be nicer if if worked like with the other top bar mods in that it just extends the default top bar

- It's super annoying that everything either a) disappears when you open a state view or b) you just have the numbers floating above any windows that open. I assume integrating this into the base game top bar would fix this behaviour too

- It's very annoying to set up the top bar again for every game, but I assume there is no way of saving the settings

I think the hotfix patch removed default play sets, but yes it was the play set. deleted it and added a new one.

@slimshady Have you done any basic troubleshooting steps like making a standalone playlist and ensuring you are launching that playlist?
