With the help of a Long War beta tester (with Windows 8 and a touch interface), I was able to determine that the way I'd implemented the keyboard/gamepad fixes for EU (avoiding resizing code) was causing the current Long War EW issues with the expanded perk tree and touch interfaces. My current (unreleased even for Long War) fix to make it work for mouse/keyboard/gamepad/touch requires resizing some functions, which basically makes it impossible to install using Toolboks, since Toolboks only supports mods without resizing. So, pretty much it's going to require wghost's UPK Utils to create an easy-to-install version, as only UPKUtils and UPKmodder have the built-in code necessary to rejigger upks for resized objects. In EU the perks were hard-coded into the hex, but EW significantly reworked how perks are defined. The perks themselves are moved into the config files, as well as the definitions of which perks are valid as random perks when using Training Roulette. The old EU functions are just gone, so there's really no way to code that information directly into the upks any longer. One way or another it would require some change to the executable -- either changing the embedded config file (a la Resource Hacker) or configuing the executable to read the external config file. Alrighty, thanks for the reply :) I guess that makes sense.

Duped post, my bad.

Hey Amineri, I was just wondering if you ever plan on converting it to the custom mod format for Toolboks or Utils? Or at least a tutorial on how to convert it, as I can't seem to figure out how on my own, and I would really love for this to work on EW. One other question, is there a way, once this is installed, to have a separate mod file to recreate the perk trees, like the old mod file? I can't seem to enable direct ini loading, for various reasons :sad: And I was hoping there was a UPK-Utils method of replacing perks or adding perks. Thanks in advance for your reply.
