SMXmenu - (Alpha19)

Status
Not open for further replies.
To those on the experimental branch.

I had a little downtime on work yesterday where I found a while to work up a solution to this which I can live with while still catering to those that want to be on the experimental branch.

I created a new modlet called SMXmenuPatch which simply just xpath in the changes into SMXmenu to bridge release and experimental versions together without the need for me to spend a lot of time on this.

This new modlet will only be available on GitHub and it would have been available now if it wasn’t for some severe internet issues on the floatel on which I live while at work.

The 2kb upload simply wouldn’t go through. I will try again this evening as they told us the issues would be fixed during the day.

I will post a link here when it is up.

 
I was only on that Branch as My Dedi provider had the wrong files so having Stable 18 was actually applying the latest Alpha EP onto the server so I had No choice in what was on there lol... Thanks for the time & Effort :)

 
thx for the update. Should i delete all files in the smxmenu Folder?

No, this is not an update it is just a small patch and it is meant to run as a new modlet. Remove it to play stable, install it to play experimental.

So the SMXMenu generates an NRE in the 18.2b5 experimental release, and it took a bit of poking to find out what's causing the error. (No, the SMXMenuPatch doesn't address this problem - I checked).

This is the error that comes up in the console:

After some poking through the XUiMenu\windows.xml file, I found that if I commented out the entire section under the heading "<!-- // SMX // Video Options Menu --> ", the error stops occurring. Now, I don't really understand what *exactly* is coughing up a lung in there, but clearly that seems to be the root of the issue. Sure, the video options now look stock, as opposed to the more attractive SMX treatment, but at least it works. Progress? ;)

The issue is they adding a new video setting with the new experimental and as such the engine throws a fit since SMX doesn’t contain the option.

The patch needs an update, I will try to get it out later this evening.

2020.07.12 - A test version of SMX has now been uploaded to Nexusmods.

Please be advised that SMXlib is now a new, mandatory, modlet that all must install to be able to use SMX, this modlet is a library that contains all the assets that the modlets use and share. If this modlet is not installed, then you will experience errors and SMX will not work.

The different modlets are now as follows:

MAINS:
1 - SMXlib (CORE) - A library of assets and styles that the modlets share between them. MANDATORY!
2 - SMXhud - Consists of SMXhud, SMXhudTHB and ZMXhudCP. This is the hud as you know it but with the target health bar built in and a compatibility patch that hopefully will increase the level of compatibility between SMXhud and other modlets. (Don't want target health bars? Just deleted SMXhudTHB)
3 - SMXmenu - This is the menu as you know it.
4 - SMXui - Consists of SMXui and ZMXuiCP. This is the UI as you know it with a compatibility patch that hopefully will increase the level of compatibility between SMXui and other modlets.

OPTIONALS:
1 - SMXhudTB10 - An extension that converts SMXhud to work with 10 slot toolbelt DMT modlets. Does not contain a 10 slot toolbelt DMT modlet!
2 - SMXuiBBM - Converts SMXui to use a 63 slot bigger bag modlet.
3 - SMXuiBBMxl - Converts SMXui to use a 99 slot bigger bag modlet. (110 slots can be obtained with editing the code)

Please try and read the instructions BEFORE asking for help. SMXlib is mandatory, install it with your modlets of choice.

Do NOT use the links in the OP. All download must be done from here for the time being...

// READ THIS FIRST! //

2020.07.18 - The experimental SMX version have been updated to support A19.0B169.

Please be advised that SMXlib is now a new, mandatory, modlet that all must install to be able to use SMX, this modlet is a library that contains all the assets that the modlets use and share. If this modlet is not installed, then you will experience errors and SMX will not work.

SMXhudTB10 does NOT make the tool belt have 10 slots, it just converts SMXhud to SUPPORT a 10 slot tool belt DMT mod. You will have to find and install a 10 slot tool belt DMT mod for it to work. Please do not make support claims for slot 9 and 10 not working if you do not have a 10 slot DMT mod installed. If you do not know how to find and install a 10 slot DMT mod then SMXhudTB10 is not for you!

// New as of 19.0.Release2 //

Some stuff have been moved around to further increase compatibility with other mods / modlets. Please be aware of the following changes:

SMXhudTHB has been moved to the compatibility branch and is now named ZMXhudCPTHB, delete SMXhudTHB when updating!
SMXuiBBM has been moved to the compatibility branch and is now named ZMXuiCPBBM, delete SMXuiBBM when updating!
SMXuiBBMxl has been moved to the compatibility branch and is now named ZMXuiCPBBMxl, delete SMXuiBBMxl when updating!

Failure to follow the above instructions can lead to unexpected results!

I really like your UI Mod. Last update (A19.173) broke the Menu modlet :(  ESC to open the menu doesn't work anymore. All other modlets from the UI are working fine though. I am still able to use everything but the menu modlet (removed the folder from the mods folder for testing).

Hopefully there will be a fix soon :)

and stuff...
