• These modlets all contain additional debugging in the form of a purposefully generated WRN event that will show Yellow in the console similar to the below entry. This allows me to know the file was successfully read and process by 7D2D, what mod the file was from, and which particular file in that mod:
  
  • WRN XML patch for "XUi_Menu/windows.xml" from mod "RELXIX_UIMENU_DropOnDeathNothing" did not apply: <remove xpath="/Successfully_Loaded[@modname=RELXIX_UIMENU_DropOnDeathNothing][@version=1.0.3][@filename=\Config\XUi_Menu\windows.xml]"

Last Tested: A17.1(b9) compatibility confirmed.

[Red Eagle LXIX]

2019-01-18 - RELXIX_UI_MenuStats - v1.0.4 - Removed Percent sign from hunger & thirst since the value is really just the current value not percent (just looks that way until you put a point in Fortitude or Agility).

2019-01-18 - RELXIX_UI_ZeeNoPlayerStatNumber - v1.0.4 - Updated to remove numbers from Default Mode Hunger/Thirst of RELXIX_UI_PlayerStats v1.0.7, detailed and percentage mode still retain Hunger/Thirst (no temp) numbers.

2019-01-18 - RELXIX_UI_PlayerStats - v1.0.7 - Additional Speed improvements suggested by stedman420 that work now due to changes from 1.0.6

2019-01-18 - RELXIX_UI_PlayerStats - v1.0.6 - Fixed speed issue with Water Bar (removed extra HUDStatbar controller invocation and removed Water Bar fill from inside PlayerStatsWindow controller area)

2019-01-13 - RELXIX_UI_PlayerStats - v1.0.5 - A17.1b8 -

• Fixed: Water Bar Over-run when purchasing Fortitude.
  
• Fixed: Long standing issue (since A16 when I copied from TFP menu that % was listed for what was really current value).
  
• Added: 3 mode toggle - With any menu open press the Character Button next to the PlayerStats to toggle between these 3 modes:
  
  • Default - Current Value. Does not show OverMax value.
    
  • Detailed - Current w/OverMax and Max
    
  • Percentage - Closest values to actual percentage. Does not show OverMax percent.

  [*]Known Issue: Water Bar fills slow on respawn, and drastic changes.

2019-01-11 - RELXIX_UI_PlayerStats - v1.0.4 - Changes for Alpha 17.1 to re-enable the Water bar to change fill correctly. Slight resize of bars make this work (103 width reduced to 100).

2018-12-11 - All modlets updated to v1.0.3 - Added a purposeful WRN event to log when files load -- This is a non-critical, logging only update. By creating a bogus remove attempt I can confirm each file has been read successfully.

This is to ensure its usage and associated risks are for new games only. - Thanks to Greymantle (Official Forums) and Bais (Discord) for reporting the issue.

Mod RELXIX_UI_SkillP2_SkillPointsLevelTopLeft generated an error in the console. Conditionally on the path of the compass. Didn't display the level of the player to the left of the belt. The log file is not found.

[Red Eagle LXIX]

Mod RELXIX_UI_SkillP2_SkillPointsLevelTopLeft generated an error in the console. Conditionally on the path of the compass. Didn't display the level of the player to the left of the belt. The log file is not found.

That should produce a WRN event in the log and is noted in the mod:

	<!-- This should log as a WRN for unable to remove if SkillP1 is not installed since we're trying to remove it to replace it. -->

This is what it looks like in the logs (and shows as a Yellow event in the console:

2018-11-20T08:39:22 106.781 WRN XML patch for "XUi/xui.xml" from mod "RELXIX - UI - Skill Points Available and Level at Top Left" did not apply: <remove xpath="/xui/ruleset[@name='default']/window_group[@name='compass']/window[@name='window_RELXIXUI_skillPointsTopLeft']" 

 

It does not prevent anything getting logged. Log files are still found in the same place, and the WRN event does not even open the console.

 

Logs are located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\7DaysToDie_Data"

How do these modlets work? Does everyone have to download it?

 

Before you could just replace the files on the server, an everyone would see it

I am pretty sure these only have to be installed on the server and that the server generates the combined XML and that is what gets pushed to the clients.

I think all the XMLs get pushed; custom images in the Mods folder doesn't push though.

[Guppycur]

Nicely done red.

[Scyris]

I use this one RELXIX_UI_PlayerStats works great, just wanted to say that, this xpath system is pretty nice since we don't have to mess with base files anymore.

[Red Eagle LXIX]

If anyone was curious what I personally have been using for a UI:

RELXIX_UI_MenuStats

RELXIX_UI_MenuTime

RELXIX_UI_CompassCenterHighlight

RELXIX_UI_CompassStats

RELXIX_UI_PlayerStats

RELXIX_UI_SkillP1_SkillPointsLevelTopLeft

RELXIX_UI_ToolbeltSlotNumbers

RELXIX_UI_ZDP1_ZombieKillsDeathsPlayerKills

RELXIX_UI_Tweaks

RELXIX_UI_ZeeNoPlayerStatNumbers

RELXIX_UI_ZeeNoPlayerXPBar

 

Since I play hardcore death = new game, I use the quest chain mod. Lastly, because I hate curtains one can't even push out of the way and should be easy to take down I use PickThisUp.

[sm0ku]

Can't get it working on my dedicated server. Doesn't seem to get pushed to the clients at all

[Ozzland]

Thanks Red Eagle, looks great and works great.

[Ianua]

Oh my gosh TYTYTYTY we love your HUD! Works great.

[nofunbeingadmin]

I am pretty sure these only have to be installed on the server and that the server generates the combined XML and that is what gets pushed to the clients.

 

Yep that worked! Can finally see my food and drink without clicking through menus.

Thanks

[Scyris]

Yep that worked! Can finally see my food and drink without clicking through menus.

Thanks

 

You always could see food, just look at the portion of the stamina bar thats blacked out, water though you'd have to guess at.

[Red Eagle LXIX]

Yep that worked! Can finally see my food and drink without clicking through menus.

Thanks

 

Good to hear. Also matches my own testing. Q: Is your dedicated server Windows or Linux?

 

Can't get it working on my dedicated server. Doesn't seem to get pushed to the clients at all

 

As my own testing on Windows has shown, it creates a combined file that gets pushed to the client.

I'm not sure what the issue is here, but working with you on Discord for this.

[Red Eagle LXIX]

Can't get it working on my dedicated server. Doesn't seem to get pushed to the clients at all

Thank you for working with me to debug this.

Linux compatible updates will be out shortly. Darn case sensitivity.

[Red Eagle LXIX]

2018-11-21 - ALL UI Modlets updated to 1.0.1 to correct case for XUi folder to account for Linux (and probably MAC) compatibility. Thank you to sm0ku for bringing the issue to my attention and working to diagnose.

Great Work, thx for that, i mostly did it manually in entityclasses.xml. More Comfortable Now.

Great Work, thx for that, i mostly did it manually in entityclasses.xml. More Comfortable Now.

 

Thanks, possible to do that now without DLL mods since TFP put DropOnDeath and other options as set-able via the XUi system.

[N0queso]

Any ideas on how to install on a Ping Perfect hosted server? Without combining the files manually, there isn't a mod folder or the same structure on the server side per any install instructions for mods.

NM, just creating a Mods folder on the top level worked great.

[Cop4Terminator]

For the latest build (b208) the numbers for food, water, health and stam do not show inside the bars. May be a bug for me, i dunno.
