Modding the user interface

I'll put it simple: The GUI kind of bugs me, I want it to be different (like horizontal, at the bottm, etc.). The only thing I found out by now is how to move the chatbox to the bottom. At least I want to be able to move the minimap somewhere else. ;)

So how exactly do I find the right commands for achieving something like this? Or is the GUI hidden inside some script file I can edit?

I do know about the \KAG\Base\GUI directory, but all those config files in there seem to be about the menu settings for the different modes. I just want to edit the ingame GUI.

 

I'll take a look at it and get back to you.
Some things may be hardcoded.


Edit: Still playing with it, but I learned you can change the text on any menu: see picture.

 

Yeah, already found out that there are config files for every menu (said so in my post too ;)).
I really don't care about the menus though. I just want to tweak the ingame HUD/GUI.

 

That's what is appears to be, unless it's stuck in with some odd config file.

 

That's too bad. :(

So how do we effectively encourage MM outsourcing the GUI into a modifiable script file? :)

 

When the game is complete.

 

You can change the colors in the GUI Config file

 

By doing this.

"MM, can you outsource the gui into an xml file?"

Now just PM him this post.

 

Use notepad ++

 

...for what.

 

I just sent something like this to him.
As I am especially interested in the possibility to display the bomb timer for the bomb in your hand directly on the HUD, and I guess a lot of players are too. Besides the obvious other benefits of a customizable HUD, like having the information on a part of the screen that is less important than the part where it is now. :)


edit: He answered and said it is on his todo list. :)
