How to mod the UI?

[RiderOfEternity]

Total modding newbie here :psyduck: (at least for Bethesda games)

Please kind sirs, direct me to the light.

• Decrease font size of inventory text.
• Make the Favs (key Q) menu much higher.
• Make the game remember the last menu you were in. So say you opened the inventory and went to the Potions tab, next time you opened the inventory, it would already be on the Potions tab.
• Same for the world map; it should remember where you last looked and your zoom and pitch.
• Possibly replace the 3D map with 2D (as in Oblivion).
• Just general redesigning of the inventory (DarnUI for Oblivion was great).
• Sorting of items by weight, value, etc.

Any help would be great :)

If you're new to modding, I'd suggest waiting for the CK to come out.

 

In the meantime, here are a collection of guides and tutorials to read:

With difficulty. (Seriously though, unless you're good at decompiling what amounts to basically raw flash source code, it's simply hard).

I took a quick look at the first post and after downloading SiWX, determined that I don't have enough time to sit down and learn. Maybe in a few weeks though.
