Darn UI, aHUD and iHUD don't change my interface ?

[Brathz]

Hello to everyone,

 

First of all, I am French, so it might be possible that my expression is not very good. I sincerely apologize about that.

 

I've bought Fallout 3 GOTY edition on Steam and wants to play using HUD mods : aHUD and iHUD.

This is not the first time that I've used mods with F3, but I've never used HUD mods before. I got FOSE installed correctly, never had any problem with script-based mods until now. I also have Archive Invalidation Invalidated, which I activated.

Following the recommandations of the NexusMods pages of aHUD and iHUD, I installed both UIO and DarnUI alpha 11 + Hot Fix, and I used Mod Organizer, even though I used another software to organize my mods until them : FOMO aka Fallout Mod Organizer. To prevent any incompatibility or unstability problems, I desinstalled FOMO beforehand, as well as every mods I had used. I even desinstalled and re-installed F3 from Steam, so this is a real fresh start.

 

But despite my efforts, both aHUD and iHUD have next to no impact at all on my HUD.

 

Here is what I've got on my MO window : https://image.ibb.co/kzpbtx/Fallout_001.png

I've got no problem to run the game by clicking on the "run" button.

 

When I start the game, I've got the Pip Boy head which displays the references of F3, DarnUI and FOSE : https://image.ibb.co/gbU6RH/Fallout_002.png

 

I have no problem to load a save. When I press the "i" key, the crosshair disappear, but nothing else :

If I press the "i" key during 2 seconds, the iHUB Settings menu appears : https://image.ibb.co/idnt6H/Fallout_005.png

 

I let the default settings, so the fade away option for General, Hitpoints, Action Points, Crosshair and Target Infos is set on 6 seconds. Yet, they never fade. I tried changing to different values, but it changed nothing.

 

The activation options for respectively Hitpoints, Action Points and Crosshair are as follows :

But the Hitpoints and Action Points never fade, they are always active. The Crosshair does not fade within 6 seconds neither when the weapon is not out nor when I don't right click. But it does disappear when I press the "i" key, and then reappear when the weapon is out or when i right click :

That's it about the iHUD.

As for the aHUD, the situation is very much the same. When I press the "F6" key, the aHUD Main Menu appears : https://image.ibb.co/dg1LmH/Fallout_012.png

 

But be it the Compass, Hitpoints or Action Points, the "move" command does nothing : neither the numpad arrow keys nor the normal arrow keys make the displayed info move an inch.

 

Moreover, when I click to "hide compass bracket" and/or to "show CND and Ammo bracket", absolutely nothing changes. Neither the compass disappears nor the CND and Ammo appears :

Last but not least, the DarNified UI mod.

 

Despite the reshape of the menus and the change of the fonts, I've got the impression that no option available does anything whatsoever.

 

Firstly, I've got effective access to the DUI F3 menu when I press the "escape" key during a game : https://image.ibb.co/dqR9fc/Fallout_015.png

 

But then, despite having all the optionnal displays set on "yes" - "oui" in French -, none of them is visible in the HUD : https://image.ibb.co/mMEHYx/Fallout_016.png

 

I don't know what the "xPanels" is about, but when I change the coordinates set by default... nothing change, being in the HUD, the conversation menu, the trading menu or even the PipBoy :

In my opinion, this is a shame to not being able to use these mods. I tried to deinstalate and reinstalate both them and the game three times, but I always get the same result.

So, I hereby ask if someone has any idea to help me with this ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Well, in fact, I found the problem, kind of...

 

If I remove UIO, I can adjust my HUB thanks to aHUB, I can hide it thanks to iHUD and I can display new informations thanks to Darn UI.

 

The problem being that, if I understood well, UIO is a very important mod to keep the stability and compatibility of the various HUB mods.

 

Is it a problem if I remove UIO ?

Did you install UIO AFTER all other interface mods?

I followed this very useful guide (it uses all the mods you mentioned, plus MO): http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Kelmych/Fallout3

Firstly, following the recommandations, I installed UIO after DarnUI but before aHUD and then iHUD.

Secondly, after finding it was UIO that causes the problem, and after re-dowloaded it, I de-installed the other mods and installed UIO first, then the others. The problem persisted.

Finally, I re-deinstallated everything and then installed the other UI mods and after them I installed UIO. Again, the problem persisted.

In between every re-installation, I activated Archive Invalidation Invalidated, in order to have a fresh new start without deinstalling/reinstalling the whole game.

 

Anyway, I started without UIO and until now, there is no problem. But it's possible that I get problems during the game...

Install Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM), it'll fix everything after a clean game reinstallation.
