Menu overhaul

Post by AR_Starfighter » Thu, 4. Jul 19, 07:29

The menu system is awkward and clunky. I had some ideas to fix the problems.

menu--> navigation
galaxy
sector
zone

Galexy

Remove buttons: zoom-in and zoom-out
Add button: plot course
(include standard jump button)

Click on area to zoom to in. Right click to zoom-out.
Scroll-wheel: back (zoom-out) and forward (zoom-in)

Click areas use public domain images. Simple and easy to use.


Even better, add nasa photos of real galaxies for the click galaxy areas, if legally possible.

A in-game notepad or to-do list

I would greatly appreciate if someone creates a mod that allows player to freely write down work in progress tasks and other ideas to progress. To me when i take a break from the game and return playing, it's hard to remember what i was doing, like what factories was needed to build, where to build more defences etc. all the pre tasks before conquering the galaxy.

Are there still connoisseurs of beauty left? :roll:
I really need a small (or not so) mod that would center the mouse after exiting any menu, including the main menu, side menu, map, drone quick menu, functions (by default on Y) ...

Ship turning to the side with a sidewinder engine, after, for example, pushing something on the map and closing the map, this is beyond the human psyche :D

And what is funny, on foot, at the station this is already on and the character does not twist convulsively to the side.

Yes, yes, back to X-Rebirth... again... :D

There are three Quality Of Life mods I would like to see coded if someone is still active on the department:

1) An incoming missile warning sound that really uses the ship's interior warning system.

Simoom's Lantern uses this warning sound and in cockpit animation when ships jump into the player's vicinity just before being spawned:

Code: Select all

 <actions>
            <!-- Issue proximity alert -->
            <add_effect object="player.room" effect="'cpfx_cockpit_alert_02'"/>
            <speak actor="player.computer" line="5" priority="100" comment="Proximity Alert!"/>
            <show_notification caption="{10002,5}" details="[{100005,1} + '\n', $Faction.name + ' ' + {1004,24}]" icon="achievement_jumpdrive_cooldown" comment="Incoming Vessel..."/>
            <!-- Create Capship -->
in this movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r6elD3UjA8 you can see the effect in cockpit at around 0:35 sec. Two red squares pop out of top part of the cockpit and an alarm goes off.

2) A weapons safe mode

At some point during development EGO added an "empty" slot for missiles, as to not accidentally shoot them because the 'R' key which triggers missiles is very close to the 'E' key that rolls the ship to the right side.

It would be awesome to also have this for regular weapons.


3) A mod that lists the station names in green colored fonts on the 'wares bought by stations' screen that correspond with the stations in the 'active missions' list where you need to deliver a certain ware to a certain station for a credit reward.

In the 'wares bought by stations' and 'wares sold by stations' list the illegal wares you don't have a license for show up in yellow fonts. I would like see the station names I have to drop goods off as a mission (found in 'Active Missions') in a green font so they are easily seen instead of having to scroll through the complete list.

Thank you.

I think that you should try to hit the space bar before you deal with a menu. I always do that, hate the roll overs.

I can have a look at this one. It seems you like an unwanted side-effect of me messing with the weapons. Hope I can replicate it.

Cool :D - Would be awesome to have this one scratched off the list and in operation.

Hello! Since Rebirth is still the most atmospheric X game despite all the untypicalness of the game compared to the rest of the series, I fell in love with it after giving it a chance. While we have A LOT of mods out there, they are however scattered all over the place - not only here on forums in german and english subforums, but also on NexusMods, the Steam Workshop and other tertiary sources. Since it's easy to miss some specific mods, I'm just going to ask here as using the search engine here didn't yield the results I was looking for.

I'm looking for the following things:

- a mod that either adds additional building plots to zones or allows the player more freedom in placing stations within a zone
- - - > I want to place more than two additional stations in Darned Hot Air in DeVries. Most zones have more building plots, but this specifically atmospheric zone only offers two construction sites, which is rather sad. I also prefer high station density in asteroid-rich areas as that gives the location a very populated vibe.

- any mod that adds additional capital ships, especially on Xenon/Khaak end
- - - > Our good man SirFrancisDrake (here on forum and on steam) recently published the Xenon G-class Destroyer in the Steam Workshop, which was a very cool surprise given that barely anyone plays Rebirth anymore, with X4 drawing most attention. I added all the ship mods of the workshop to my game, since vanilla just does not offer much variety at all, but given the many dead forum lists and topics, I'm sort of afraid I missed a few good ones, especially from our talented russian friends. Since the G Destroyer adds an actual threat to the game, I was hoping that someone maybe went for the effort of either importing the Khaak capital ships from X3 to Rebirth or did similar great jobs like Drake did with the G.

- a mod that changes the texture of the sun in DeVries to be slightly less aggressive to the eye
- - - > while Darned Hot Air is epic for station building, looking at the sun is not once you pay attention. There is a strong mix of red and yellow, and I myself prefered more yellow than red. It's a tiny pieve but maybe relatable? :)

Krychoke added Khaak Capital Ships with his Lost Sectors Mod to the game.

I dont know about mods which add more building spots or allow more freedom to build.
But i can implement more building spots with one of my mods if wanted.

Wow, that's not only a fast response but also one super helpful! Thanks, good man! I didn't know Lost Sectors added Khaak Capitals. Image
