Hello,

This mod is a variation of LeUI but this time with the BG1EE skin.

This mod contains the full UI.menu (and resources) and should be used only if you don't have any other UI modifications. Otherwise, I publish most of the individual tweaks in this forum and you can install them with the mod EEUITweaks.

Installation:

Download the archive here.
This mod is compatible with BG1EE, Sod, BG2EE and EET (v2.5).

Content:

Improved start screen


Improved character creation screens

Modify the character creation screens to something closer to the v1.3 look.


Improved main screen

Lot of tiny changes: alignment of buttons, removal of button I don't use, ...

Improved inventory screen

From here.

Improved record screen

Mix between the mockup from this discussion and the 1.3 look.

Item description tweaks

Using this scrollbar.

Store screens tweaks

With this this.

Journal screens

Restore and fix the journal screens.


And a lot of other changes (see the LeUI thread for more details, both mod share the same features, only the skin change), I didn't retake a screenshot for everything.

Changelog:
v3.9: Update dialog code. Add character name in some screens. Abilities -> Ability Bonuses. Tweak inventory text box.
v3.8: Remove compatibility with 2.3. Change tooltip 'World Map' to 'Area Map'. Take 'More Confirmation Prompts' into account when removing memorized spells. Tweak text scroll speed in chapter and dream. New dialog code by Adul. Spells screen. Buttons in character creation.
v3.7: Fix using back button in level up screen doubling proficiencies or thief points. Minor tweaks.
v3.6: Compatibility fix with SoD 2.5. Add new option Left click on portrait to level up.
v3.5.1: Fix message box scrolling.
v3.5: More robust detection of update 2.5. More robust detection of EET. Fix show highlight button tooltip. Fix quicksave button in 2.5. Fix combat log in 2.5. Fix using back button in level up screen doubling proficiencies or thief points.
v3.4: Detect game version to install 2.3 or 2.5 UI.menu. Add install option to collapse quests by default.
v3.3.1: Highlight character name input area.
v3.3: Compatibility with 2.5. Update dialog box code. Fix some wrong strref. Add missing sound on some buttons. Add Select All button in Store and Container screens. Add install option to Show Sidebar toggle button, Quicksave button, Highlight button and small buttons.
v3.2: Fix regression introduced in v3.1. Detect Unhide Chargen Options.
v3.1: Aligned version number with LeUI. Add missing weapon style bonus to the Record screen. Show a message when overriding a keyboard shortcut that is already used. Add tooltips in mage and priest spells book. Fix 'Pick to me' with Shaman.

v1.5: Restore adorned first letter for chapter, dream and epilogue. Re-add worldmap button.

    Nice. I must admit, I mostly use @AncientCowboy joint UI mod for everything, but I might have to switch to this one now and then.

    Love it! Well done! Bravo!

    And v1.5 is out \o/
    - Restore adorned first letter for chapter, dream and epilogue screens.



    - Re-add worldmap button in the area map screen.

    Is it still possible to access the Tutorial once this skin is installed? If so, how?

    Also, if I want to change the skin mid-game (for example, when moving from BG1 to SoD, could I simply close the game, install the SoD skin, and boot the game back up, or would I have to uninstall this first?

    I didn't realize that the Tutorial is no longer accessible (I guess it shows that I never play it :p ). I can add it back in place of the Import button.

    Installing it on top should work.

    I'm planning on playing this with a couple of friends that never played BG before, and we're gonna mod it up. (Sharing the dialog.tlk file and override folder should work, right?)

    Since they never played, it would be nice to do the Tutorial, but not really a requirement.
  • lefreutlefreut Member Posts: 1,462
    @Thels I have updated all three UI mod to re-add the Tutorial button :)

    I have a problem...

    This is what happens when I start the game with Your newest version of the mod installed:
    https://i.imgur.com/V8msGfF.jpg

    The game then launches, but it always starts with BG main screen (not the one when you pick one of three BG SoD BP games), there is no Tutorial button whatsoever, and when hovering above a game button there is no highlight. Other than that, it seems to work, but still odd.

    EDIT: The other UI (the BG2 one) works like a charm.
  • lefreutlefreut Member Posts: 1,462
    @Przemkas this is what happens when you release multiple mods at the same time but only test one... Sorry about that :| This should be fixed now.

    If you don't want to re-download everything, you can remove the extraneous return at line 6349 of UI.menu.
    Change this:
    return return logoFrame ~= 0
    Into this:
    return logoFrame ~= 0

    Thanks, mate.
    All seems well, BUT pressing the tutorial button is futile - nothing happens.
    BG2 UI still OK in that matter.
  • lefreutlefreut Member Posts: 1,462
    Line 6997 is missing the closing ' :/

    lastStartMenu = 'START_SP'

    Hopefully this is the last copy/paste error.
  • PhælinPhælin Member Posts: 316
    I'm not sure about Your other mods, but this happens with some items. Most of the adorned letters are fine, but few seem to have this white dot.

    @Przemkas it's because there is no adorned texture for '('. I'll look to see what I can do.
  • lefreutlefreut Member Posts: 1,462
    @Przemkas

    I tried to create an adorned texture for '('. But I'm not very satisfied with how it looks:


    Or I can exclude '(' to not use adorned letter (like it's already the case for non-ascii letters).

    @lefreut Exclude seems good.
  • ThelsThels Member Posts: 1,422
    Adorned ( looks goofy. It's probably better to exclude them.

    Yes this is what I choose to do and I release it yesterday :)
  • ThelsThels Member Posts: 1,422
    Yeah, I noticed. I saw the other thread after, and I was like... Okay, I just made a useless comment. :P

    It's still nice to have another feedback on what option people think is the best :)

    The one I like the most. It is so nice one can play with all of yours UIs as he progresses through the trilogy.

    So much <3@lefreut.

    Still dreaming to see your take on the old original greenish one. I can dream, can't I? :)
  • lefreutlefreut Member Posts: 1,462
    Thanks @Axie.

    Other modders were working on this (@Kilivitz @AndreaColombo and maybe @Pecca ). And I already have a hard time finding time to work on my UI mods.
  • KilivitzKilivitz Member Posts: 1,459
    There's indeed a project going on between me, @AndreaColombo and @Adul. Work on the UI has slowed a bit down but should pick up once patch 2.5 finally rolls out.

    Has anyone managed to get BG:EE Classic Movies (specifically the Chapter and Dream Screens) to work with Lefreut's UI ?

    I'm also curious if chapter/dream screens are compatible with Lefreut's mod.

    @lefreut A question for you, or anyone else who knows: is it possible to restore tooltips to areas to reveal their names and travel times? I'm not sure if it's Beamdog or your mod which force-displays travel time for some locations, but there's a lot of them for which this information is a black box.

    Is there a setting to tweak to enable this?
