Description

 

This mod is my humble attempt at yet another UI mod.

 

This mod will work with Alpha 16.1 (b1) Stable, Alpha 16.2 (b7) Stable, Alpha 16.3 (b12) Stable, or Alpha 16.4 (b8) stable

 

This mod is and always will be pure xml edits only.

 

This mod adds some extra HUD bars and info to the UI as well as rework the toolbelt and increase player built storage, minibike storage, forge input, crafting queue, and all workstation outputs.

 

For a version with a bigger backpack try Simple UI Plus

 

Here's a list of some of the changes.

 

  • Food and Water bars added to the bottom left HUD. (below health)

  • Feels like temp added to the bottom left HUD. (above stamina)

  • Enlarged toolbelt slots.

  • Removed borders from toolbelt slots and bar.

  • Toolbelt backround is now a very transparent black.

  • Toolbelt slots now have key numbers in top left corner.

  • Toolbelt holding color is now green.

  • Experience progress bar added above the tool belt.

  • Player level with icon added to the top left of the toolbelt.

  • Player deaths with icon added to the bottom left of the toolbelt.

  • Zombie kill counter with icon added to the top right of the toolbelt.

  • PVP kill counter with icon added to the bottom right of the toolbelt.

  • Added an outline to the quest tracker.

  • Two indicators were added to the top and bottom of the compass to show which way you're facing.

  • Outside temp, and Elevation added to the right of day and time under the compass.

  • Added buff icons with description and timers. Plus up to eight can be displayed.

  • Increased forge input from 2 spaces to 3 spaces.

  • Increased crafting queue from 4 spaces to 5 spaces.

  • Increased all workstation outputs from 6 spaces(3x2) to 9 spaces(3x3).

  • Increased player built storage size from 72 spaces(8x9) to 140 spaces(14x10) - (only supported in 16:9 resolution or probably better)

  • Increased minibike storage size from 18 spaces(3x6) to 99 spaces(9x11) - (only supported in 16:9 resolution or probably better)

  • Expanded Quest Trackers objective entries to hold up to 12 entries.

  • Expanded spawn menu to hold up to 144 entity classes. (This even works with a 4:3 resolution)

  • Plus a few other things I'm sure I forgot Lol

Possibly. I'm thinking of dropping the wind and moving the temp and elevation over with the day and time. Then putting the buffs with timers in the top left corner. I'll have to see how it looks though.

 

 

EDIT: Any thoughts on how this is looking?

Okay will test out and see how is it, but may i know what is no storage version? As in those not using the increased inventory mod?

 

Yeah they don't have increased player built storage or increased minibike storage. it's for those running lower than a 16:9 resolution

If using a separate storage mod I recommend using the one without increased storage for maximum compatibility no matter the resolution.

 

My increased storage is an xml edit only and only affects the player built storage containers and minibike storage and is based on a stock backpack size. It only requires a 16:9 resolution or better so the larger storage windows fit on the screen since I made them as big as I could without scaling the ui.

Since installing this mod, I get a null reference error. My game is vanilla apart from this mod. I'm using the version without the backpack on client and server. I still seem to be able to escape out of the error and eventually launch the game. Not sure what's causing this, but it's definitely the mod.

 

Any ideas? Is there something in the non backpack version that's telling it to look for files that are only in the backpack version? (just a guess!)

 

The mod looks very nice, by the way. My only gripe is that the bleeding out icon appears at the top, which I can easily miss.

I seem unable to reproduce this error so far. Are you using the (b119) or (b129) version? Does the same error happen in single player?

 

 

Also to change the buffs back to the way they were just open the xui.xml and change the following lines

 

Change or remove the following line (line #86)

<window name="S420ActiveBuffsWindow" anchor="LeftTop" /> <!-- buff timers - place here so it disappears when compass does -->

To

<!--window name="S420ActiveBuffsWindow" anchor="LeftTop" /--> <!-- buff timers - place here so it disappears when compass does -->

 

 

Then change the following line (line #110)

<!--window name="S420BuffPopoutList" anchor="LeftBottom" /--> <!-- stock like buff list -->

To

<window name="S420BuffPopoutList" anchor="LeftBottom" /> <!-- stock like buff list -->

This was using A16 B129

 

 

Well I seem to have fixed it now. I verified the files, which obviously removed the mod and the game worked again.

 

I've also reinstalled the original files, confirmed there are no issues with those files, then reinstalled the mod again (same files I used the first time round, from my backup) and the game works now, just like it did the first time round.

 

I can only assume that the game itself had an issue which caused the issue, but I can't for the life of me, figure out what.

 

 

Anyway, thanks for your reply. I'll go try the game with the mod again now that it's all working, in single player. I'll try playing on my server later to see if there's a problem on that side. I have anti cheat turned off on my server too, incase that caused issues.

Mod Updated

 

CHANGELOG

v0.5

  • Updated to Alpha 16 (b138).
  • Moved buff icons and timers back down to the bottom left above player temp.

I'd like to try this out, as it looks like a nice basic UI mod. I see stuff about b129 and stable in the news forum, so I'm not sure if this should work with stable or not. :)
