R&D Inventory, Items & Weapons Overhaul

XMarksTheSpot · July 22, 2013

Good news, after Amineri pointed me towards modifying sprite defintions to add more stuff to the squad select UI (again, thanks for that, you rock :thumbsup:) it occurred to me that this might be the missing link in getting a scrollbar in the inventory list. I've tinkered around with the DefineSprite parts of the loadout flash file (as well as 'borrowing' a few ActionScript commands found inside the LockerList class and putting them into the InventoryList script) and lo and behold, a functional scrollbar and masking rectangle appeared! :smile:

Originally I've simply copied the object definitions from the lockerList sprite, but have since modified them a bit to correct the placement of the masking rectangle and moved the scrollbar to the left-hand side of the item list. There are still a few kinks to iron out, e.g. I'd like to add a margin on the left edge of the loadout sprite where the scrollbar will be placed and the selection indicator is misbehaving, as usual :rolleyes:

Will report back when those issues have been dealt with :thumbsup:

In general, I very much prefer this solution to the grid-based one as the scrollbar behavior is much more dynamic and independent of the number of items you specify. As with the locker list no scrollbar will be displayed when the item sprites don't exceed the space defined by the masking rectangle, so some measure of backwards-compatibility for vanilla-like configurations with only 2 small items is maintained :smile:

In my defense I am trained in using Adobe Flash witch would have fixed the sprite definitions for reused sprites on recompile.

Edit: What decompiler/editor are you using? I can't get JPEXS to let me do anything with DefineSprite.

This looks great!

To be honest, I didn't think about the scrollbar being placed as a part of the sprite definition -- I'm glad you made that connection. I probably would have struggled fruitlessly for days trying to work that out.

I knew that it had to be possible to add the scrollbar, as both the inventorylist and the lockerlist extend the same base ItemList class (which includes the XComScrollbar functionality), but I just couldn't get it to work out.

Kudos!

So, after tinkering around with the loadout screen for what feels like an eternity I've finally got it to a point worth releasing :smile:

Behold the modified screen featuring a properly placed and fully functional scrollbar for the inventory list:

To achieve this I've basically enlarged the background of the loadout panel, moved a few components of it to the right and copied the scrollbar objects from the locker list into the inventory list sprite as mentioned in my previous post. Add to that further adjustments made to the InventoryList ActionScript class to make item focus behavior work properly and to free up some space for the new sprite objects.

I've added my notes containing the necessary changes below:

Tools used

Notepad++ with Hex-Editor plugin
HxD hex editor
JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler (for editing ActionScript classes)
Sothink SWF Decompiler (can view hex of swf tags, useful for tracking down specific locations)
SWFTools (in particular swfdump.exe to list shape-/sprite-related tag information to help finding specific position offsets)

For those that don't want to bother with several smaller hex edits, here's the complete flash file:

Simply copy its contents [142,189 (0x22B6D) bytes] into the command1.upk file starting at offset 0x2D73D87 :smile:

Enjoy!

Let me be one of the first to say "Wow!". I'm incredibly impressed. This looks amazing.

I puts my poor "squeeze the boxes together" to shame, and am happy about it :)

Impressive work. :thumbsup: Any chance we might talk you into a Wiki article on how you did this? Sprite editing is pretty much a 'black art' around here at the moment. I'll be happy to rough up a page or simply convert your article to Wiki format myself it that will help.

I suppose I could be persuaded into doing that - what exactly do you have in mind? With regards to sprite definition edits there's already the Launch sprite change article which did a good job of pointing me in the right directions in the beginning, the rest was done via careful study of the SWF File Format Specification to get the hang of decoding and modifying all those bit-packed swf tags.

What *I* think is needed is a tutorial that spells out the basic steps to get to the point where the modder can then make the changes they want. An example of how you found and then copied the scroll bar from an existing sprite and grafted it into the Loadout sprite should be sufficient to get the idea across. Certainly feel free to point people to existing articles such as those you just mentioned at appropriate places (please include links) and perhaps some descriptions of particular elements applicable to your example. And end with any cautions or advice to finish the package for whatever install method will be needed. Whether it should be considered a Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced tutorial would be up to you, but usually that is based upon how much prior knowledge you assume in your audience when writing the article and how much detail you are willing to provide. It's always reasonable to point people to other articles where they can gain the required prerequisite knowledge. (No need to re-write material available elsewhere.)

Certainly others who are more directly interested may better ideas as to what they would like to see. But something along the lines of the 'Hex editing UPK files' Wiki article. There is a 'Modding Subject' template available to use as the basic article framework.

I found a very minor bug with the added scrollbar that in no way breaks things. If you use the mouse wheel to scroll the inventory the locker also scrolls. Works fine for scrolling the locker by itself.

Yeah, that and the focus system is a bit messed up, haven't noticed that behavior in my initial testing, thanks for pointing it out.

Maybe I'll get around to fixing that, but it might not be worth the trouble :wink: Feel free to take a stab at it though.
