Stormphoenix82 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hey everyone, I've been looking through the wiki and tutorials, and they mostly deal with creating content in game. I'm looking to mod the UI - I want little buff icons similar to Morrowind (I hate going into the magic screen to see what buffs or debuffs are affecting me). Problem is, I've no idea where to start. I can't be bothered to put in a mod request for it as no one seems to be looking at those, and I'd rather learn to do it myself. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

The UIs are ALL done in adobe flash. The source flash files (or at least decrypted ones) were up on Nexus. There are a few people here versed in their inner workings so hopefully one of them will speak up. Unfortunately, it's not something the CK was designed to handle. Also, mod compatibility with any main UI mods will be pretty much impossible to obtain, but it's a great idea! -MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoAardvarksAllowed Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 You probably should check these out if you're going to tackle the UI, because Adobe Flash is the name of the game just as MofoMojo says: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1800http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=216 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabidNode Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 flash and you will need to get familiar to how they designed it which as with the ck is unorganized and sloppy I used swix and the flash decompiler trillix for simple modifications such as moving ui items or removing them. what you are looking to do requires additions to sprites and then additional action scripting to link to those sprites and display them on screenmagicmenu.swf and hudmenu.gfx are 2 files to get familiar with you could replicate the onscreen display of magic charges for a weapon to begin with since it references and item in the inventory and displays visuallyyou could also look at the disease applied script and work on attaching a script to that which does something similar displaying an icon on screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormphoenix82 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks for your replies, I'll have a look into it (sounds horrible even for a coder) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
