Acknowledgments & Closing Words

Since various graphic elements already appear in several mods and their origin cannot always be determined directly and without doubt, I therefore refer to all the mods known to me and their authors with the corresponding elements and thank them for the very successful graphic implementation and for making them available to the forum community: JC Hud by bolgimo ; Pure X HUD by Familiar ; Immersive GUI&HUD by juju1111 ; Litcube's Universe Huds by Litcube ; YS-HUD by Samuel Creshal ; X3TC HUD Solid [V 1.06 +EVE-HUD] by Thron ; LU HUD's by TrixX ; XUniverseHUD1.3 by (Unknown). Due to the many revisions leading up to publication, the origin logging also suffered a bit, so I hope I haven't forgotten any.

For suggestions for improvement, constructive criticism, reporting of errors (bugs), submission of translations (if a T file is used) or other concerns please leave a message below via "Reply" or via PN, thank you!

By communicating with each other, one or the other can certainly be integrated in the same publication as well as in its download, without it becoming unnecessarily confusing through the creation of further topics. This publication, respectively elements from it that originate from me, may be used by my side, provided that the author and the link to the publication topic are given. If reference is made to integrated elements of other authors in this topic, please do not forget to mention them as well and respectively to refer to their publication topic.

I'm using this mod and I love it. Only thing that bothers me is the vertical scroll bar in menus. I'm using it a LOT and sometimes it's almost invisible. More visible(bright) scroll would be very nice.
Anyway, great mod and thank you.

Then it was worth putting it online if there is someone next to me who also likes it Thanks for your feedback. The dark background from the scroll bar isn't existing anymore in my latest version, so the visibility should be better. However the menu background also changed to a less transparent one and there are still some minor things at the moment which I don't quite like yet and which i still want adjust a little bit but due to the lack of time i don't know when i get to it. Maybe i can pack a beta prerelease version in the meantime of it... I'll have a look...

Hello!

i am trying your mod and i am likely it a lot, i am using a custom charachter which is the biggest possible and i am very satisfied with it because reading is really easy at 1980 res, problem is if i target something the speed of the target overlap with target distance, so i would like to edit these 2 bars to make them wider,
any advice?

PS: I have the same problem with vanilla, not a problem with your mod.

Hello, have been trying some hud mod and after a lot of testing i found out that "interface_framework_XT_diff" is what control graphic overlay UI for Target, weapons and your own shit hull and shields. Now since i manage to edit a very good charachter that allow a super confortable reading of text at 1980 i was wondering if there is a way to MOVE text of overlay of a small portion. I searched the web but coudln't find an anwer to this. Basically in the target box i have the distance from the target overlapping with speed of the target, since the charachter i am using are pretty big.

I edited (afte a full night of study) the "interface_framework_XT_diff.dds" and after a lot of tries i was succesful....problem though is not solved cause the text look in a fixed position and not anchored to overlay UI so even if you make the box bigger, text is in the same position.

In the target box, bottom of the screen you can see the speed of target and distance overlapping, making things hard to read.

Any suggestions?

Hello Bandenere, i saw you already found the right files where these hud elements are. Unfortunately the text positions are hardcoded. Would be an alternative to use the second displays for them around your crosshair? The speed of your target you will find left to it and the distance underneath.
