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

[Guest Morgoth]

Hello, been trying the mod. I like it, but I would like to be able to personalize it.

1) How can I restore the buttons "ok, go back" to their original position?
2) The ui jump to the latest text when any is added. Can this be changed, and if yes, how?

All the rest is pretty much perfect.

1) There is no built-in option to do that so sadly there is no easy solution.

2) I don't think so.

Say, is the Quit button in the dialog that pops open when you press "Quit Game" in the ESC-menu missing on purpose? I think that is rather a inconvenient change. The code section from UI.menu in question is in the spoiler.

button
    {
        bam STARTMBT
        sequence 1
        area 32 354 236 84
        pad 10 8 10 8
        text style "button"
        text "QUIT_GAME_BUTTON"
        action
        "
            popup3Button(16456,
            'CANCEL_BUTTON', nil,
            'MAIN_MENU_BUTTON', function() optionsScreen:QuitGame() end,
            'SAVE_BUTTON', function() optionsScreen:SaveGame(0) end
            )
        "
    }

I generally preferred your UI to 2.5's, but I have these requests as install options:

-Swap the positions of the left and right buttons (accept/cancel, etc.) to EE 2.5 standards.

-Use the EE 2.5 spell preparation interface.

Thankee!

@lefreut Hey this mod is fantastic I just had a couple of questions:

1. You have a BG, BG2, and SOD skin for this mod - any chance of creating an Icewind Dale skin as well? That would be awesome.
2. Is there any way to restore the chat window to its original settings? The text is not as smooth in the mod.

Thank you for your time!

It's by design as I reuse the texture from vanilla BG2 that only have three slots for buttons.

LeUI was designed to be a full UI overwrite. Any new customization option is a lot of work.

1. I have a UI mod for Icewind Dale. But if you mean Icewind Dale skin for BG(2)EE, it's probably too much work for not a lot of people using it.

2. Same answer as for Endarine.

Why do journal entries repeat themselves? for example listening to rumours. The same rumour will pop up again on the journal after its already had an entry. With the default UI in EE this doesnt happen.

@DmxDex I guess I never notice this. Do you have an easy way to reproduce so I can look at it?

[lefreut]

And v4.4.3 has been released !

* Tweak the dialog screen to use slightly bigger portraits
* Hopefully make the dialog code a little more robust (thanks @Bubb)

Very happy this is still actively developed. Let's me break my game with impunity learning how it works.

@lefreut
What would be involved to ensure compatibility between LeUI and tipun's subrace mod?

That looks good. Is this little tweak going to be included in a component of EEUITweaks as well?

Good day. I use your mode in BG2EE. Is there any way to use just journal editing from your mode? Thank you in advance for your reply.

This would give you what you want. https://github.com/r-e-d/EEUITweaks/releases

The same thing is happening to me.  I wrote about it on the Beamdog forum some time ago.

At the beginning of the game underground. When I come across gnomes and kill them, a conversation with Imoen takes place. Immediately after the interview, two identical entries appear in the journal. As shown in the picture from the attached link. Can anyone advise where the mistake is. This does not happen in the basic diary of the game.
