Anno1800UXEnhancer

How to use

[one-time setup] download, install (and reboot your computer afterwards): vc_redist
run the Server.exe from the zip archive which should open a command window and might require administrator rights
run Anno1800Calculator from local file (if not done already)
run Anno 1800
open the statistic menu (population to update number of houses, finance to update number of factories, production to update productivity)
alternatively, one can update the population from the overlay of the HUD (not recommended)
Tutorial

In case no values are updated, make sure:

the ingame text language and the language of the calculator are identical
the values to be read are not covered by something else (overlay, external program, etc.)
the correct island is selected in the statistics screen
the island has a long (> 8 letters) name composed from standard letters (A-Za-z) and with other islands as few characters in common as possible
- NEGATIVE example: "Múa-1" and "Múa-2": Too short, non standard letter ú and both names only differ in one letter
in the center of the statistics menu the selected entry is fully visible
the scaling in windows is set to 100%

in order to use another resolution (only for the population pop-ups in the HUD), follow the follwing steps:
1. make a screenshot (ALT + PRINT) of your game in the desired resolution while island population is visible
2. open paint and paste the screenshot (STRG + V)
3. cut the popluation icon (see image)
4. save the population icon as "population_symbol_with_bar.bmp" in the folder image_recon/"width"x"height"/ where "width"x"height" is the screen resolution of your game important: use 24-bit bitmap format when saving the icon

If you encounter any bug, feel free to contact me and if possible send me the following information

your game's screen resolution
the text from the Server.exe console when the bug occured
if the bug is reproducable: try ServerD.exe instead of Server.exe and send me the images that are generated in the folder image_recon/

download the latest release from https://github.com/Dejauxvue/AnnoCalculatorServer/releases
extract the archive to any location you desire

git clone https://github.com/Dejauxvue/AnnoCalculatorServer.git
cd AnnoCalculatorServer
git submodule update --init
cd cpp/vcpkg/
bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
vcpkg install boost-property-tree:x64-windows (takes circa 2 minutes)
vcpkg install tesseract:x64-windows (takes circa 17 minutes)
vcpkg install cpprestsdk[core]:x64-windows (takes circa 10 minutes)
vcpkg install opencv4[png]:x64-windows opencv4[jpeg]:x64-windows (takes circa 7 minutes)
vcpkg integrate project
<build cpp/visual studio/CalculatorServer/CalculatorServer.sln>

copy, move, rename errors during installation: make sure that vcpkg resides on a short path (e.g. accass the folder via a drive letter)
vcpkg error "Please install the English language pack. Could not locate a complete toolset." -> go to visual studio installer -> visual studio communitiy -> change -> language package -> select english -> click change (bottom right)
if visual studio ist not installed on C:/Program Files x86 openGL (as a part of openCV) might fail to build possible fix: microsoft/vcpkg#4377 (untested) or reinstall windows kit on C:/Program Files x86 (can be more tricky than you think)
To update the ui_texts.json place the contents from Anno 1800/maindata/data2.rda//data/config/gui/ in cpp/visual studio/CalculatorServer/x64/Release/texts and delete ui_texts.json. Running the server in release will recreate ui_texts.json from the source files.
