Census+ Autowhat ? .. or does it work at all ?

I noticed i had a few 0 new 0 updates upload since the update, so i started to look into that..

I like that C+ takes automaticly, but its a bit of cofusing.

Since there are two options, auto start and auto census.

So does auto census only work when auto start is enabled too ?
Or if not what does autostart does then? if it has nothing to do with autocensus taking.

Also played around with the /census timer options, so set it to 5 mins for a try, waited 10 mins and nothing happened, once i open the ui it started immediately.

Oh yeah ive disabled the census+ button, since it wont move, it just sticky nm what i set on the slider, so i have it off - read somewhere there might be an issue with that. (or its even the core problem i have here)

Oddly it worked better before the update ?

Ok, looks like the button off is the problem, after trying it with the button shown it all goes smoothly.

Hope this can be fixed .. i dont like that button esp. as i cant move it.

and yeah autocensus runs with autostart off, which still leaves the question what autostart is good for then.

thx

Honestly I dont even know! But I do know that you should keep both checked if you want to have it automatically scan for you while your in game.

But if I have to guess it would be:

Autostart will make CensusPlus start automatically whenever you enter the game.
Autocensus engages the timer option so that once you start it, it will continue at the time you set.

So if you have Autostart off then Autocensus won't start unless you enter the game and manually start 1 scan yourself. After that then Autocensus kicks in and continues on.

As for the minimap button. Usually its interference with another mod that is causing it not to run. Especially if you have another mod that controls some part of the minimap. Most map mods I've seen allows you to move all the icons by holding down alt and dragging the icon to whatever position you like. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When I had Cosmos the button position in Census never worked, I had to hold down alt + drag it. Now I've switched to Cartographer and the button slider position in Census works. Rollie just needs to have a radius option now for those that use square minimaps like myself

Actually, the autostart doesn't really do anything anymore =x It used to control the little mini-census button, but that went away when I added the minimap button.

I can look into alternate ways of having Census activate but a visible button seems necessary. I guess I could always put up an invisible button that you can't see. I'll toy with it and see what I can come up with.
