Redesign the bottom bar: troop bar, gold, hotbar and attack rows - #6398
Second PR of the HUD redesign in #6363: the bottom bar.
It keeps the mobile layout from #6390 as it is: the unit bar is still a column on the right edge in portrait and a row above the panel on landscape phones. This PR restyles those layouts and fixes a few things on small screens.
What changes:
Troop bar: count on the left, max on a small plate on the right, troops out attacking as a lighter segment. The rate is a chip next to the bar on desktop and stays inside the bar on phones.
The control panel is rendered once. Today it renders a phone copy and a desktop copy (two sliders, two gold chips) and hides one with CSS.
Attack ratio: new slider with marks at 25/50/75/100%. The label is translated on every screen and reads 20% 8.24K.
Gold: a flat chip with a fixed width, so the troop bar no longer moves as gold comes in.
Hotbar: flat tiles with the price above each tile, the hotkey in the corner and the game's icons. In the portrait column there is no price, the tile shows whether you can build.
Attack rows: one row layout for every kind of attack, with icons instead of emoji and arrows, three rows before the list scrolls.
Hints in the control panel use the game's warning and info icons.
Behaviour changes (everything else is visual):
Rate colour: it only switches between green and orange after three ticks in a row agree, so it no longer flickers. The first tick used to compare with nothing and always showed orange.
Gold pops: gains less than 90 ms apart add up in one pop that bumps, later ones stack up to three (desktop only, phones show the newest). Today the last gain replaces the others. A pop now leaves when its animation ends, and hiding the panel removes it.
Hotbar: "not enough gold" and "locked" (no silo, no port) look different. The price turns red when you cannot afford it, a locked tile shows a lock, and the details say why ("Not enough money", "Requires Port"). Both use the existing canBuild() logic, now in one helper.
Attack rows: attacks on you come first, then boats coming at you, then your own. Only three rows show before scrolling, so the ones that need an answer go first.
Retreating: an hourglass and a dimmed row instead of "(retreating...)", which got cut on phones. Screen readers still get the word.
Hotbar details card: it stays opaque at any HUD opacity, like the menus, since it is something you read.
Player names in the attack rows can no longer be rewritten by the browser's translator (?translate=${false} removed the attribute instead of setting translate="no").
Small screens (portrait, below 1024px):
The attack rows and the tutorial card leave room for the unit column below 640px wide. At 320 to 390px wide the column covered their cancel/retaliate and close buttons.
On short screens (from 466px tall) the tiles shrink a bit so all ten fit without scrolling. Below that the column still scrolls.
How it is built:
Each component keeps its sizes and colours in a block of constants at the top of the file, so a change of look is one edit.
Two new line icons for <of-icon>: lock and warning. The factory and battleship SVGs get a viewBox so they scale as masks; they look the same as <img>.
en.json: one new key (build_menu.requires), and control_panel.attack_ratio loses its brackets in English.
The commits are one step each. The behaviour changes above are each in their own commit and can be dropped on their own.
Not in this PR: a troop regen marker on the troop bar (being discussed separately), snapping the attack slider to 5%, and the leaderboard covering the top of the unit column on short phones (leaderboard PR).
Tests:
New: ControlPanel (troops, cap and rate, the attacking segment, the low-troops alert, both hints and when they don't show), ControlPanelRate (the three-tick rule, first tick, steady rate, negative rate), ControlPanelGold (pops leave when their animation ends, merging at 89/90 ms, the bump, three pops and the oldest pushed out, nothing left after death or removal), AttacksDisplay (one row per kind, bots hidden, spawn phase and dead player, order, retaliate and cancel, wilderness, boat ETA, retreating, translate="no").
UnitDisplay: tile states (ready, not enough gold, locked, disabled by the game, selected and poor), the reason in the label and the details, one read of gold and units per render, the price once the worker sends it. The hover test no longer checks a colour class.
ControlPanelAttackRatio: the label without brackets, the slider's label and value text.

Walkthrough
The HUD updates unit build tiles, the control panel, and the attacks display. It adds build-state feedback, a shared responsive control panel with troop and gold indicators, and shared rows for attacks and boats. Related localization, styles, and client tests are included.

Summary
Unit build states and tiles src/client/components/OfIcon.ts, src/client/hud/layers/UnitDisplay.ts, resources/lang/en.json, src/client/styles/hud/utilities.css, tests/client/UnitDisplay.test.ts
Unit tiles use shared icons and display locked, ready, or unaffordable states. Labels and tooltips show build requirements and prices. Tests cover state, accessibility, and selection behavior.
Responsive control panel and feedback src/client/hud/layers/ControlPanel.ts, src/client/styles/hud/tokens.css, src/client/styles/hud/utilities.css, resources/lang/en.json, index.html, tests/client/ControlPanel*.test.ts, tests/client/ControlPanelAttackRatio.test.ts
The panel displays troop count, rate, cap, attack ratio, and animated gold gains. Rate trends update after three contrary ticks, and forwarded slider clicks use the track bounds. Tests cover panel display, rate trends, gold popups, and slider behavior.
Shared attack and boat rows src/client/hud/layers/AttacksDisplay.ts, index.html, tests/client/AttacksDisplay.test.ts
Attack and boat entries use a shared row model and renderer. Rows appear in a defined order and include applicable navigation, retaliation, or cancellation actions. Tests cover row content, ordering, and actions.
openfrontio/OpenFrontIO#6363: The issue identifies bottom-bar cleanup as part of a visual HUD plan. This PR updates the control panel and other HUD display elements.

Merge Risk: Low · up to b084a
The bottom bar redesign has a few small open issues: the gold pop-up can vanish early, some buttons and tiles lack full accessible names, and an unknown price can look buildable. None blocks the workflow, but the owner should be aware of them before merge.

No issues found. Checked for bugs and CLAUDE.md compliance.
Checked: canBuild still means the same thing (disabled units, silo/port requirements, gold), and the retaliate, cancel and go-to actions still emit the same intents. Also checked the attack row order, gold pop merging and cleanup (no leaked timers), the three-tick rule for the rate colour, the slider marks and tap mapping, translate="no" on names, and that every translateText key exists in en.json and no other translation file changed.
Note for the merge: main has since changed ControlPanel (#6392, attack ratio button in portrait) and UnitDisplay (drag-to-place). Expect conflicts in both files when rebasing.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Give attack buttons an accessible direction.
If an incoming and outgoing attack have the same player name and troop count, their go-to buttons have the same accessible name. The shield and sword icons are hidden from screen readers, while the previous buttons included direction arrows. A screen-reader user cannot identify which attack is incoming from the button name. Add a translated aria-label that names the direction and action. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Based on learnings: “All user-visible text must go through translateText() and have a corresponding entry added to resources/lang/en.json.”

Start a new gold pop when the current pop is already fading.
If gains arrive every 75 ms, this condition keeps merging them into the first pop. A gain at 1.95 seconds joins a pop whose two-second animation ends 50 ms later. The new amount then disappears almost immediately, unlike the previous implementation, which restarted its two-second timeout on each gain. Check the pop's age as well as the time since the last gain before merging. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Nothing uses the new names yet. The factory and battleship files get a
viewBox so a mask scales them in every browser; as an <img> they render
the same as before. The mushroom cloud is 4:5 like the X icon, with its
art in the top square, so it is cropped the same way.
The panel drew a phone copy and a desktop copy of every part, two sliders included. It is now one grid that changes shape at lg, with the new troop bar, max plate and rate chip.
The gold chip, the ratio label and slider and the hints keep their look here; the next commits restyle them. In portrait the button that opens the slider in a popup takes the label's and slider's place in the grid.
The desktop label was hard-coded; every screen now shows the translated one, split at its line break. The English value drops its brackets; other languages keep their own format until their translators follow.
In portrait the ratio button shows the same label and its popup the same slider, so a forwarded tap reads the track beside the slider it hit.
On landscape phones the pop sits beside the chip, since the unit bar is the row above the panel there. The chip is as wide as 999.9M, so the troop bar does not move as gold comes in.
The pop lives for its two-second animation and goes when it ends, so no timer has to match it. Hiding the panel now drops the pop, as removing it already did.
The portrait column has no room for a price, so there it stays in the
press-and-hold details. A unit you cannot build dims its icon and price
but keeps its tile's edge, so the bar no longer looks switched off.
The details are something you read, so they stay opaque at any HUD opacity.
The five row templates become one, fed by a small mapper per kind of row. Order and retreating text stay as they were.
Rows now carry translate="no": the old ?translate binding removed the attribute, so a browser translator could rewrite player names.
…n portrait
At short heights the unit column reaches down to the attack rows and the tutorial card and covers their end buttons. Only below 640px: from there both sit in the 500px block on the left, far from the column.
The wrapper cannot carry the blur in portrait: it would become the containing
block of the fixed unit column. The control panel can, as it is not the
column's ancestor.
A conquest and its bonus land in the same tick, and only the last amount used to show. Gains less than 90 ms apart now add up in one pop whose amount bumps; later ones stack, three at most, each for its own two-second animation, and a fourth pushes the oldest out with a quick fade. Below lg only the newest shows, as one pop already covers the row above the chip there.
The test where a second gain replaced the first is replaced by the merge and stack tests.
canBuild() now asks the same helper that tells the two apart, so there is
still one answer to "can I pick this unit". A render reads my gold and
my buildings once instead of once per tile.
Attacks on me come before boats coming at me: they are already taking land and have the retaliate button, a boat has not landed yet. My own rows keep their order.
The "(retreating...)" text was cut off on phones and squeezed the name. The row now dims and ends in an hourglass, labelled "retreating" for screen readers and on hover; the word itself still shows where the row is wide enough.
At 320x568 the column needed 502px and got 480, so it scrolled and the
MIRV tile sat half hidden under the fade. The tiles now share the height
the column gets, down to 36px, so ten fit from 466px tall; from 590px they
stay 48px, and below 466px the column still scrolls.
No issues found. Checked for bugs and CLAUDE.md compliance.
I reviewed the whole PR again, against its base branch hud-redesign-modals. Here is what I checked:
Hotbar:buildState()/canBuild() give the same answer as before. That covers disabled units, the silo and port requirements, and the gold check with the cost from the worker. Drag-to-place and the hotkeys still work.
Attack rows: retaliate, cancel, boat cancel and go-to send the same intents with the same arguments as before.
Attack ratio slider: the value still maps 1–100 to 0–1, and a tap is measured against the new track. The portrait button from 6392 still works, including closing its popup on a press outside it.
Gold pops: no timers are left behind. Each pop leaves when its animation ends, and hiding the panel or disconnecting clears them.
Rate colour: the three-tick rule is correct.
Text and translations: every translateText key exists in en.json, there are no hard-coded user-visible strings, and no other translation file changed.
Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Test the translated restriction, not the fallback key.
This test expects build_menu.requires because the test has no language selector. It would still pass if the new translation were missing or failed to insert “Missile Silo”. Load the English translations for this case and assert the rendered label. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Do not mark an unknown price as ready.
Before playerBuildables arrives, cost() returns 0n. A city with a real cost above the player's gold is therefore marked ready and can be selected while its price is blank. Keep the price in an unknown state until the buildable data arrives. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Include the owned-unit count in the accessible tile information.
When a tile shows an owned count, its explicit aria-label contains only the name and any build restriction. That label replaces the tile's child text for its accessible name, so a screen-reader user does not receive the displayed count. Include the count in the label or a referenced description.
