NEWS
============================================================

07/17/17: I have not gotten any reports still at this point regarding NMM installs so I am considering that to be a done deal.  Hope everyone hanging out in the CW these days is enjoying the patch.  For those of you over in the MW frosty-theaussie has resumed work on the New Vegas port to include some nice new stuff, so don't miss out on that.  As always, let me know if there are any bugs that I should be aware of, I'm always looking for reports.

03/08/16: Updated a few details for the mod to make things flow a little better on here.  Version details have been updated so that all current files for the mod are a part of the correct 2.0 version number (including the optional files which have had their details added to the 2.0 Changes entry).  This allows the detail links on the Files tab to show properly, and should prevent mod managers from thinking you have a version mismatch on files for the mod when you don't.  Still looking for details regarding compatibility with Mod Manger installs, please report any bugs or issues you might have with this (or suggestions for how to package the mod in a more Manager friendly way).

06/24/15:
I have updated a few aspects of the mods page.  No new files or major changes.  Included Bug Reports tab for mod, updated Version details for Optional Files to point to correct parts of the change log, added link for the FWE patch in the required files noted as an optional, attempted to upload readme file but Nexus was not taking it, and responded to all outstanding comments.  Will be checking in on this a little more often to better support with the FO4 announcement upkick in FO3 mod downloads.

04/25/12:
frosty-theaussie has released a New Vegas port of this patch - show some support for the continuation of the project and grab that for your NV needs.

DETAILS
============================================================

For those looking to mix together the awesome DUIa11+ Hotfix by DarN and the great Interface Revelation by SGHi, but have never been able to get the patch files made by Vomitus (not needed) to work with your setup due to the DUI updates that invalidated things, then the solution to your problems is finally here! This fix, to my knowledge, does not work for the Return of the Talking Heads mod (that a patch was also included for by Vomitus originally, and this is because I personally do not use it).

This will allow you to maintain all functionality of the HUD provided from DUI, while updating the Barter, Container, Message Menu, Quantity Menu, Repair Services, and the Sleep/Wait Menus to use the textures from Revelation Interface with DUI text. This is done through adjustments to the XML files used to generate the menus in game.

The overall effect is brilliant, in my humble opinion, allowing the HUD, Pip-Boy, and Message Box Interfaces to all have their own unique appearance and feel to them. I would then, personally, recommend combining this effect with the Unified HUD Project made by Gopher (yep, that's right, this will work just fine with that), and some of the great HUD additions available from there (I myself am using Dynamic Crosshair, Selective Fire, Stimpack Counter, Adjustable HUD or aHUD, and Immersive HUD or iHUD to get a truly modern and unique interface feel to the game).

*NOTE* This should also work with UIO - User Interface Organizer which now supersedes the Unified HUD Project, though this has not been officially tested.  Regarding mod managers, none are officially supported by this mod as it was created before all but FOMM, but no FOMOD version of the mod was created (I would be happy to include one if someone would like to package it up).  I am also looking for reports on if this mod works with NMM or not.  If it is found that it does not play nice with NMM I will remove the download buttons for that.

INSTALL
============================================================
*ATTENTION* It is recommended to backup your files before installing any mods!  For best uninstall results it is recommended to backup your files after each step in the process.

*Note: If you already have DUI and Hotfix/Patches installed, start on Step 2 of the Process
1) Install DUIa11 + Hotfix (and any updates like the FWE Patch)
2) Install Interface Revelation (the lower resolution textures look just as good to me if you want more performance)
3) Install the DarN Revelation UI Patch (just let it overwrite any files you already have)
4) Install any desired DarN Revelation UI Patch Optionals (let them overwrite the files)
5) Load the game and that stuff will be a nice blend without the text anomalies in the Menus
