Manually Updating HUD Mods

[lyravega]

HUD mods haven't been updated, so you cannot select arrows with them. If you like and are using bows, then check this little guide out. I'd upload an updated version for them if I could, but I cannot. So, here I'll be telling you how to update your HUD mod on your own. NOTE: This guide is for miniHUD, for other mods, if you cannot find the paste target (shown later), you need to figure where to paste those lines out by yourself, I cannot check all of them one by one unfortunately.

 

Modding Targets:

Modded HUD XML - data3.pak\data\menu\hud\hud.xui

-XUI files are XML files

 

Vanilla HUD XML as a reference - data0.pak\data\menu\hud\hud.xui

 

Resources & Tools:

-Notepad++

-(Optional) Npp XML Tools Plug-in

 

So, what now?

First thing you need to do is, opening both of the .xui files (one for vanilla, and one from the mod), and selecting the correct language from Npp, as shown below. You may have an expanded list, so just scroll down till you find XML, and select it for both of the files.

Next thing to do is, locating the correct lines to copy from, and paste to. The lines you need to copy are located after the 115666th line; so go to the 115667th line (use CTRL+G). Click on the "+" to the right of the line number to collapse the "AdvGroup".

After collapsing it, select all of the 3 lines like shown below; by doing so you'll be selecting all of the folded part as well, leaving little room for errors. Copy all of this, and switch to the mod's HUD file. You are done with the vanilla HUD now.

In the mod's HUD file, search for "StackObjectives". Note that the HUD you are using might not have this line, as said above. For miniHUD, the search will yield only one result; go to this line, and look above it. There are 2 lines which we need to paste to and overwrite them (reason is, we already have those two lines copied to the clipboard, if we don't overwrite, it'll result in an error). The target lines are highlighted in the picture below:

Select those two lines, and paste! You should see a lot of new lines now. To be sure that there are no extra lines, click on the first "</AdvGroup>" above the "StackObjectives" and then press CTRL+ALT+F to collapse that level. It should look like the 3rd picture.

 

Now, save this .xui file, and use it instead. You'll have access to the arrow menus in your HUD.
