Minimal UI mod + Revelation Thread

Hey

I switched from your compassmod to this one and I like it. I even edited some of the hud (crosshair size), but the npc marker/compass thing is beyond my level. any chance you can explain those lines? I never did this kind of thing before and mess up a lot :lol:

/e also, the ammo and cnd hud is a bit out of my hud, kinda cut off. I tried to fix it, but I don't know which line actually is ammo/cnd. try and error didn't help :/
 
I was using the older version of that one. I'll try this new one now.

Edit/

Thanks a lot for pointing me to that Update Buckshot, and thanks to Darn and TheHologram for making the prog.

Updated version of the mod using the bug-free (I hope) fonts and a marker for the health bar.

Edit/ links in first post.



Rolfcore, to realign the action point section of the hud, you would look in the file Fallout 3\Data\menus\main\hud_main_menu.xml, change the height and widt and x y postions to do that, all under 'ActionPoints'.
But it should all be aligned to the very corner of the screen. What res do you play the game at? To be honest this is made for high res displays really, as I have a 2560x1600 display, I only test it at that.

The compass markers are dealt with in Fallout 3\Data\menus\prefabs\
and the 2 files are hudtemplates.xml and compassicon.xml

In hudtemplates, you will find the compass icon stuff at the bottom. Thats where it differentiates between npc, player waypoint and quest marker.
 
Here's one:

sweet!! cheers nad02s, you have made my f3 experience 10x better!! I changed all the font sizes to 8, and love it!!. the marker at the end of the health bar is much better, can now see how much health I have.

I have noticed one error but only on the save and load menu, some of the writing is on top of each other, i think its just where it says are you sure you want to overwrite or something. Doesnt bother me at all though as its nothing in the game
 
No, only direction. Everything else is removed.
It isn't too hard for you to add them in though if that's what your after.
 
does this also get rid of the status messages with the sickeningly saccharine frowny/smiley-face vault boy in the upper left hand corner

If I did want to... how would I?
 
I explained what files would need to be changed a couple of posts back.
Just have a look at those files and see how you get on.


I haven't bothered with the status messages, they are slightly smaller but only due to the font change.


By the way, There is a mistake in the readme in the Fonts section.

Basically when it says sFontFile_5=Textures\Fonts\Fallout8.fnt

is should say sFontFile_5=Textures\Fonts\Fixedsys_Comp_uniform_width.fnt

So that correction would have to be pasted into your fallout.ini otherwise computers will use the new font also, and will be messed up.

Thanks! I play at 1024x860 or 12800x1024.
Could you upload it to the nexus? More people could enjoy it, including me (my ISP blocks your website for unknown reasons)
 
Uh thank you very much, how could I forget

I had an idea. I would like to merge your mod with this mod here: Main Window and this mod here Revelations Skin - what do you think about this idea? Is it okay with you? I would give you all the credits of course. If you like it, you might even do it yourself, since you have experience while I suck :lol:
 
I really like that interface mod. I was considering making something like that myself, but looks like they already did a good job with it.

Well I like your idea a lot Rolfcore, Would like to see the Revelations Skin combined with my own mod.
Have you contacted the author of that mod at all though?

I noticed that main window one before, it's pretty good eh.

So go right ahead and try if you like mate. I'm also going to have a little go at combining them too. Let me know how you get on.

Edit/ Hmm Can't seem to get my hands on that Interface mod now, getting a 404 error, weird how it was just working. Looks like they are updating their site or something can anyone else confirm this?
So its up to you Rolfcore ;) Unless you can host a copy of it for me to grab?
 
Site is down for me two, however I downloaded it already and uploaded it to my ftp so here you go:
http://home.arcor.de/Rhenus2/oeffentlicherpublic/Fallout3_Interface_Mod_Revelation-47.rar

I just recieved word from the author, any change is alright withim, as long as we give him the credit he deserves. but he also mentioned he is planning to improve his version, so if we merge it, it might get outdated. I still like the idea though.
I decided not to do the merge, it is a good idea, but I simply suck too much ;)
Looking forward to it.

/e the nexus is down for 24hours, server change
 
What do you mean by won't load? does it crash on startup? or can't you click in the mainmenue? I recommend not to use different fonts (just leave the .ini unedited), makes all my troubles go away.
 
Yep, crashes on load.

Stupid me overwrite his ini without backing it up.

Could shoot the fonts section over?
