Where to start for modding the UI?

[Grindspice]

How can I mod the UI? Specifically, I'm trying to mod things like the inventory/map tabs and maybe add a tab or two. I haven't been able to locate anything that looks related to that in the CS.

 

I'm expecting to have to script some things, that's okay. I just need to know where to get started and I'll figure it out.

This should get you started

Take the steps slowly, be patient.

Don't try to cram it all in all at once.

 

Steps one and two should be a really good foundation for just tweaking the UI

Step three and four open up a whole new level of stuff you can do.

 

STEP ONE:

(I know this is an adult oriented web site, but the intent is to direct to a really good tutorial

not trying to link to adult related content)

https://www.loverslab.com/topic/53411-reading-ui-hud-xml-files/

 

 

STEP TWO:

Use a utility such as BSAopt to 'unpack' the in game menu xml files so you can

actually see them and see them

 

If you have Darnified UI

there should already be xml files in your data/menu folder

that are the edited versions.

Darn has notes within the xml files that point out the changes

he made.

 

 

STEP THREE:

(assuming you have the construction set and OBSE)

this is what opens some commands for the cs that are menu related

Menuque

When you unzip it, hit the readme and look in the Docs folder for

a list of commands it makes available.

 

 

STEP FOUR;

Another good tutorial that goes over Arrays

If you're going to try to load up inventory items, you'll

have to step through each item in order to load em up.

Ha! I would have said you were trolling but the guide is legit. I saw somebody ask for help with pop up menu scripts on another thread so I'm starting with that. It looks like it's going to flow into this stuff pretty well. Thanks for the links and advice.

 

Someone ought to repost those guides onto this website so penises don't have to be involved with the learning process. XD
