Topic: Bundle addons

I've been thinking about providing a "combo" add-on category which essentially does what you suggest, it would act as multiple different types of add-on all in one. The only reason I didn't implement it is because nobody asked for it yet I'll start work on it in a few weeks, when I have more time for Widelands again.

This works fine when starting a new game, but when loading a save game the ui-plugin doesn't work because the button isn't shown anymore

As a workaround, you could use a while true loop to check every few seconds whether the button exists and recreate it if needed. But a combo add-on would allow a much more elegant solution.

Hm, i can't access the entries of the dropdown:

local mv = wl.ui.MapView()

print("no_of_items", mv.dropdowns.dropdown_menu_plugins.no_of_items)   -- prints: 2 -> How to access those items?

for k, v in pairs(mv.dropdowns.dropdown_menu_plugins.children) do
   print("\nchildren", k, v)                                           -- prints: children        1       Panel: 0x6420fe983ca0

   for l,m in pairs(v.buttons) do
      print(l,m, m.name)                                               -- prints: dropdown_label  Button: 0x6420fd8598e0  dropdown_label
   end

   for l,m in pairs(v.children) do
      print(l,m, m.name)                                               -- prints: 1       Button: 0x6420fdd6a7e0  dropdown_label
   end
end

How can i access the entries in the dropdown? Since the buttons in the dropdown have no names i also can't reach them through wl.ui.MapView():get:child()

Did i overlooked something again?

Ok then, thanks!

I will add the button to the toolbar itself. Probably a better place anyway for a map specific button.

This way there is also no need for indexing dropdowns, currently
