[MOD] MoveUI v2.2.1

[Dirtyredz]

MoveUI

 

---

A mod designed for custom UI elements to be displayed on the players screen, and give them the ability to move those UI's around on thier screen.

 

The best way to show off this mod is with a video so here ya go:

 

---

 

Heres also a couple picture of the current UI's I have available:

 

CargoNotifier

Tired of getting stopped by the local faction because you forgot you had that suspicious cargo left in your hold?

Well no more, for this UI will display 4 separate alerts when carrying: Illegal, Suspicious, Dangerous, or Stolen Cargo.

 

 

DistCore

This UI will display how far you are from the core of the galaxy.

 

 

ResourcesUI

Tired of being frustrated that you cant see your resources all the time anymore?

Well this UI is for you, It will display credits and resources on your screen at all times.

 

 

ScrapyardLicenses

This UI will show all ScrapyardLicenses that are currently active.

The UI will only countdown on Loaded Sectors.

It will aslo change colors depending on time remaining.

 

 

ScrapyardLicenses UI also has the ability to click one of the lines to show that sector on the galaxy map.

 

SPECIAL THANKS AND CREDIT: dnightmare

For his original idea, and work. He started this idea while working on: http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,3850.0.html

He continued to work with me on the best approach to make this UI possible.

Thxs again!!

 

ObjectDetector

This UI will display when your C43 Object Detector Module, has detected a valuable object inside the sector.

not only will it detect it, but it will display what was detected, and maintain the UI until you leave the sector, so you always know if thiers a valuable object inside the sector.

 

 

SPECIAL THANKS AND CREDIT: dnightmare

He and I infact started work on this together, but he beat me to it.

So I took his work and incorperated my work in to his.

Thxs again!!

 

PVPSector

This UI will display when you are inside a Player Enabled/Disabled Sector.

 

 

 

Remember with all these UI's they can be Moved, Enabled, Disabled, or even restricted to specific situations (coding skill required)

 

 

I look forward to everyone feedback, and I welcome ideas for more UI's that I can add.

 

FactionNotifier

This UI will display the factions that are present in the sector.

The names of the factions will be colored in relation to your relationship status with that faction.

 

If you have any one of the 4 cargo licenses for that faction the UI will display the license you have for that faction to the right of thier name. allowing you to quickly identify if youll be safe to transport goods in the sector.

 

Clock

Simple UI to display your computers current time.

 

SPECIAL THANKS AND CREDIT: dnightmare

 

PowerSystems

A simple UI that displays additional details about your power systems.

 

Notepad

A UI that displays notes added via the MoveUI Menu.

 

INSTALLATION

---

1. Download the zip file

2. Drag and Drop the contents into the /Avorion/ directory,

    File structure:

        /avorion

            |---->/data (do not place inside this directory)

            |---->/mods

                  |---->/MoveUI

 

 

3. Place this line at the bottom of this file: data/scripts/entity/merchants/scrapyard.lua

   

if not pcall(require, 'mods.MoveUI.scripts.entity.merchants.scrapyard') then print('Mod: MoveUI, failed to extend scrapyard.lua!') end

 

 

4. Place these two lines at the bottom of this file: data/scripts/server/server.lua

   

        local s, b = pcall(require, 'mods/MoveUI/scripts/server/server')
        if s then if b.onPlayerLogIn then local a = onPlayerLogIn; onPlayerLogIn = function(c) a(c); b.onPlayerLogIn(c); end end else print(b); end
    

 

 

Note

---

I wanted to also notify other modders that this mod and all my future mods/patchs will be using this new file structure.

After discussing it with several other modders including koonschi himself, its been agreed upon that a separate directory mimicing the main data directory will be the best approach.

I encourage all modders to adopt this file structure as default, as its likely to became standard possible required for future mods, when avorion supports steam mods.

...
drawTextRect( comma_value(Player().money), HSplit:partition(0),1, 0,ColorRGB(1,1,1), 15, 0, 0, 0)
...
drawTextRect(comma_value(resources[i+1]), HSplit:partition(i+1),1, 0,Material(i).color, 15, 0, 0, 0)
...
function comma_value(n) -- credit http://richard.warburton.it
local left,num,right = string.match(n,'^([^%d]*%d)(%d*)(.-)$')
return left..(num:reverse():gsub('(%d%d%d)','%1.'):reverse())..right

Many thanks, to be honest i never even considered having a comma seperated, was so focused on getting to to dispaly properly.

Ill see this gets into the next patch Thxs.

[PsyberTech]

This is fantastic!  Thank you, and it is just what I needed.    Would it be easy to add the Valuable Items Detected to a movable window too?

[emlorp]

Do you happen to have it working on beta servers as it doesnt appear to work properly for me after setting up and switched to beta

[Dirtyredz]

I'll be releasing a beta version soon,  although it should for the most part still work.

sadly I cannot get the GUI to even let me go through settings to show so I cant get anything else to display.. My roommate though somehow has it show the defaulted options but cannot access anything else. Thanks for quick reply though

[Dirtyredz]

Feel free to contact me via my discord https://discord.gg/52YZMPt I would like to see your client logs, you shoulent be having any major issue with this mod on beta. The version im working on now for beta has minor changes/bugfixs plus a new UI

 

Anyways Ill hopefully be releasing this new version tonight maybe tomorrow.

1.4.0

  --Added Clock UI, Thxs  DNightmare

  --Added FactionNotifier UI

  --Added ability to delete scrapyard licenses data from the UI

I am currently working on version 2.0.0 which i hope will have far better performance on the client, aswell as a some more UIs

[Rinart73]

Hi. Recently tried your mod.

Noticed a few things that I'd like to discuss:

Firstly, FactionNotifier. This is how it looks for me (look at the screenshot). It is supposed to look like this? I mean, it eats a lot of space without any reason and faction name is way bottom.

 

Also, I have a few suggestions/questions:

[*]My friends just want to install modpack and play, they're not very good at settings e.t.c. Usually I'm getting all mods together for our server. Can you add a way to export/import settings? As far as I know devs disabled ability for Lua on client-side to access file system. But you can use something like json/other format string. Just a popup, textbox with settings string. And user can copy/paste it and apply.

[*]Can you please add a way to set UI element position in pixels? It's hard to properly drag ResourcesWindow, for example,

to match ingame resource view.

[Dirtyredz]

I'll need releasing my next version soon , where moveui uses significantly less interactions between server aswell uses client dude data storage so the mod stores its pixel  and other Serbs on the client.

 

As for the screenshot i still hacer too fix that.

[Hammelpilaw]

Once I had the idea to add an UI to print some custom texts. F.e. you need to buy lot of different goods to get your factories running, you can write some kind of shopping list wich you always see on your screen. This would fit perfectly into MoveUI.

I agree, some kind of notepad would be a cool addition.
