[UI] Lefreut's enhanced UI (BGEE, SoD, BG2EE and EET)

[czkevin36]

I will add that this happens even if I only install the journal from EEUITweaks.

Is it possible to disable these portrait placeholders?

Spoiler

 

[lefreut]

v4.4.4 is out.

• Do not show "blank" portrait in dialog
• Fix for duplicated journal entries

EEUITweaks will be updated next.

[czkevin36]

Thank you for updating. The diary is now working properly.

[Mordekaie]

Just testing the last version of LeUI for my next EET playthrough. I hadn't notice the "non portrait" image when the NPC has no portrait... I will anyway use PPE at one point but is there some "option" to desactivate that "non-portrait" ?

I released v4.4.4 a few days ago to remove this "blank" portrait.

New :Update with v4.4.4 : Both alternative Portait mods from EEUITweaks "broke" leUI SoD (didn't try with leUI)

BillyYan's Multi-Portrait Mod - Compatible with leUI

It broke the character selection screen and prtrait picker with leUI installed : not able to choose between male/female; the "back button doesn't work for me.

1040 - Mr2150's Portrait Picker (Scaleable UI) - Compatible with leUI

No more available portraits to select from

 

 

It is all about EEUITweaks for leUI.

I have just been "extensively" testing how to "set" EEUITweaks for leUI because i am using Project Infinity (and you don't automatically know which component is "autorised" with leUI as it is the case when you do a manual installation), because the infos concernint EEUITweaks may be hard to gather,  and because i am preparing an "ambitious" EET install...

 

My main interrogations concerning leUI/EEUITweaks, at the moments, are :

1/ "2120 - CLUAConsole for mobile" : How do i activate it ? Is it of any use to install this component on a computer ?

2/ "2010 - Feedback Message Box Buttons Hack": For my usage, this component seems almost irrelevant as i can just click on the Message Box to change its size.

Is there any alternative solution to implement a "Button" whether to expand the Box "completely" in order to read  (to show all the "active" messages),  or to "collapse" the message box (to make it as small as possible) ?

3/ 5020 - lefreut's Box 5 (Dialog Box) Override i can't find how this component changes the game interface ? Any clue. or a visual ?

4/ My modlist also have some other mods that may impact the UI : EEex, Bub

5/ 4040 - Kilivitz's Classic Spellbooks : i can't see any difference with the "vanilla" leUI spellBooks. After checking this component is a variation of leUI spellbook (if iam right) ? So i guess there is no point to select this component with leUI ?

I am also posting the following stuff b/c it could be "helping".

 

------------------------------------------------ Install notes about leUI and EEUITweaks------------------------------------------------------------

(GREEN = part of the installation, ORANGE = compatible but not sure to install it yet, RED = note to keep in mind or a question, blablabla = not selected (for personal reason or b/c it is not compatible)

In short the GREEN components are my personal selection to use with leUI (and probably the one i would recommand if asked...but it is all about personal taste at the end).

[Guest Nym]

Hello!. I'm new on this forum. I wanted to thank you Lefreut for your graphical UI mod, it's really amazing and i have never enjoyed playing bg2 so much with such a fresh and modern interface.

So i recently re-installed BG2:EE with a bunch of mods with EEmodsetuptools, even graphic mods and after i tested the game, seems all fine, but i have 2 questions if may ask:

1- Is it possibile to move the dialogue box on the bottom instead on the middle? I think there's a command to do that but i dont remember, maybe i used another ui time ago. Actually my dialogue box is like in the screenshot. If it is not possible to do it, it's fine, even if I was always used to having it at the bottom

The other my question is this: looking my cleric/mage spellbook i noticed that the symbols of the spells have something strange, it seems that they are like traced, that they have an additional outline. It's a normal thing?

edit: I just noticed right now EEUItweaks has an option to center the dialog box so maybe i popped that, but for the spell icons. i dont really know. is it possible that it could be a shader?

Thanks for your answers.

With LeUI, the dialog box is at the bottom. If it's centered, it means you have installed the EEUItweaks components that does it.

It's the component 'lefreut's Enhanced UI - BG2 vanilla bams for spells' that change the spells icons (to use the BG2 ones). You can skip this component if you prefer the EE spells icons.

It let you open the console with right click or long tap on the first button of the left sidebar. It's not mandatory for PC as you can open the console with Ctrl+space but if you often use the console and find this easier to open it this way, you can install it.

The is no component that does that.

I don't remember the change made by this component but yes I don't think it's useful on top of LeUI.

Hi lefreut, I wondered if you'd like to use for the mod a slightly edited character screen (GUIREC2). There are only very minor edits of the background to make the buttons appear more integrated. Mainly reshaping slightly the boxes around buttons.

Here is a comparison, I think I've marked all the changes (14 total):

If you want it, I can do a couple of more changes and try to do a github pull request, as I'd like to learn to use github The changes I want to make are the right edge between "Customize" and "Export" as there is a small hole right now, and actually revert the rightmost change or redo it.

PS: How can I insert external images in a post? Other Media -> Insert image from URL doesn't seem to be working for imgur. Or is it preferred to upload images locally? When I pasted links of the right format, it auto-embedded them.

 

EDIT: For the above it should be obvious, so I didn't mention that the bottom half is the one with the changes. I realised that probably an image isn't the best case for trying out a pull request, so here's the edited background image if you want to try it:

and here is the same in use:

Hello @cdx

It's a really nice edit. I can add this to the mod yes. And I'm interested if you want to make others changes

[cdx]

Great

I thought about a few minor things, similar to the character screen. For the inventory in particular, as that and the character screen get a lot of use. Any changes would be to what appears to me as minor errors, rather than changing how things look.

The inventory - I'd do some adjustments of the borders which hold item slot areas, but I was wondering if you intend to move any of the slots at all? Especially if you consider that the boxes around them can be adjusted a bit. If you look at the image below, for example the green x, y, z gaps on the picture are sligtly different, do you intend to adjust any of the slots positions, if the borders marked with red could be moved a few pixels? I don't think it's at all necessary, but it would be a bummer if I edit the background and then decide it would be better the slots be moved a bit and redo the background :).

For other pages, the spell menu numbers 1 and 7/9 don't look very well integrated where I've marked (A, B), so maybe that. I'm assuming these are in their final position as well?

For the Map and the Options pages I could do minor adjustments on the buttons outside border, and I'm wondering whether the space between the buttons (C, D) should be filled in so each button would have its own slot instead of both of them in one slot. Also, for the Options the vertical bar (E) looks pasted, so I can adjust the corners to look something like F, more connected.

For other pages, the Journal could have the button sockets slightly adjusted, and the same for the Load/Save screen. Other than that I don't see inconsistencies that bug me.

Anything in particular that you'd like to see changed, mentioned or not? And what do you think about the things I've listed, do they seem worth doing?

[Guest Nym]

I have a problem with my GUI. After installed all the mods i want, i started a character creation and the screen is like this

 

The reason is because i added one of the extra tweaks from EEUItweaks that edit the portrait selection (billiyank, mr1250 ecc.) with LefreutUI and maybe is kind of uncompatible. I got confused because i wanted Lefreutportraitpicker but i think was already in the core, but i also thought if i would choose one of the others portrait selector mod, they would have overwrited it. But now is like the screenshot, and there are no portrait and button dont work. I have to do altf4 to exit the game. Is there a way to fix it? maybe deleting some files in override? i tried to reinstall LefreutUI mod (the core one) but the weidu uninstall me other mods and give me errors, i think because it has to respect the mod installation order.

This is my weidu file Weidu

 

[lefreut]

@cdx Thanks for all these feedbacks. I think they are good proposition and if you do the changes I will probably use most of them in the mod.

For the inventory slots, they are like this to try to fill the whole space. They could be slightly adjust if necessary so they all have the same gaps (keeping a small gap may look better).

For the spells, I think the page number are evenly distributed horizontally. They don't look bad to me but if you want to try some tweaks it's ok.

For the buttons, I don't know if a separator would look good but again why not test it.
