[Highly Customized] Grey cameo preview and cameo overlays

[CrimRecya]

• A setting that allows you to preview information. This feature can be used as before, playing "new construction options" and clearing the specific production queue when prerequisites loss.
  • Cameo.AlwaysExist controls whether you can see the cameo when the prerequisite have not satisfied (TechnoLevel, Owner & Cameo.RequiredHouses, RequiredHouses, ForbiddenHouses, FactoryOwners, StolenTech, SecretLab and RequiredTheaters, etc should be satisfied, if the Cameo.OverrideTechnos is met, it will override the Owner & Cameo.RequiredHouses conditions). Defaults to [AudioVisual] -> Cameo.AlwaysExist.
    • Cameo.RequiredHouses determines whether to add a condition together with Owner for Cameo.AlwaysExist check when the value is not empty. Suitable for situations where cameo is no need to be modified in games.
    • Cameo.OverrideTechnos determines whether the cameo can also be displayed when you own one of these technos when the value is not empty. Suitable for situations where cameo need to be dynamically modified in games.
  • ShowBuildingStatistics controls whether the number of buildings of this type that you currently own needs to be displayed in the upper left corner of the building cameo (requires the cameo exist).
    • Cameo.ShouldCount controls whether this type of building need to count if ShowBuildingStatistics=true. Default to check if building's own BuildCat is not Combat or BuildLimit is set.
  • Cameo.OverlayShapes controls the drawn image file.
    • Cameo.OverlayFrames controls which frame in Cameo.OverlayShapes to draw in four different situations: currently owned this building type, can automatically build this building, grey cameo and have its prerequisite, grey cameo but have no prerequisite (The second situation requires AutoBuilding to be true, the last situation requires Cameo.AlwaysExist to be true). When set to a negative number, it means that there is no need to draw under the corresponding conditions.
    • Cameo.OverlayPalette the color palette used when drawing Cameo.OverlayShapes.
  • The UIDescription.Unbuildable is like UIDescription, but this only appearing when the techno is truly unbuildable.

FactoryOwners?

FactoryOwners?

Not Supported. You can set Cameo.AuxTechnos to the critical technos.

[Speederovsky]

• Not supporting FactoryOwners might be a bit bold, it's not some obscure feature.
• Something for stolen tech? One might want to include their special settings.
• The 'you own this building type' overlay being drawn for defenses is quite a bit weird and it doesn't get drawn for walls, obviously. But visually that will give a weird final effect. It would be useful to let the Statistics only appear for buildings that are related to teching and not defenses.
• "the upper right corner of the building cameo" You mean left. Right is for queues.

• Okay, I will consider it later.
• Can you tell me how you would like this to be displayed? In my opinion, not displaying these directly is the best.
• Great suggestion, I will separate their switches in the future.
• Thank you for the reminder. I will revise it again in the future.
