2018, STANDALONE MOD VERSION BY AXONIS - VANILLA UI PLUS REVELATION (FALLOUT 3)
Standalone version of my 0.60 mod for Fallout New Vegas with a lot of bugfixes and additional features. All props to Axonis!

Please install this version or the original version, not both at once. Also, do not use patches from the original version on the standalone version. Also it should be installed only with a mod manager such as NMM or FOMM.

Aside from merging all VUI+ features into Revelation, Standalone mod version by Axonis - "Vanilla UI Plus Revelation" - provide the following extras:

• By preloading textures for the Container, Quantity, Barter, Recipe and Sleep/Wait menus, it allows them to be opened much faster.
• It modifies the formatting and textures of the Tutorial and Crafting menus to properly fuse both Revelation and VUI+ takes on those menus.
• You can use the mouse pointer to target a button in its entire width, not just the text. A few pixels are added to the buttons height to fit descender letters and the button text follows pressure movement.
• All text is set to use standard colors, adjustable at the game settings. This might annoy a few users, but the ability of changing text color is too important for some players eyes.
• All text displayed on metal, such as buttons and headings, is slightly outlined and shadowed to appear embossed.
• All list elements are resized to perfectly fit into their list frames and scrollbars are perfectly docked as well. A few scrollbars that were left with the vanilla style have been set to the Revelation scrollbar style as well.
• By applying the same code for both FO3 and NV versions, it updates the FO3 version to the latest Revelation developments for NV.
  

2010, WARNING! :)
NOTE: Now you can use a fix or 2018 standalone version.

Little DELAYS when entering menus (i.e. barter) MAY appear because of new textures. Standard menus have very simple structure and light-weight textures. And when game loads my full-featured textures in real-time without caching... delay happens.

And about buttons. Buttons was made with stock, bigger than text on them. Active area, which presses the button, is the same as text width. So pressing the button means pressing the text, not the borders of button. Later i'll try to fix the problem, but now it's low priority problem.


2008, Install

• Extract this archive to your Fallout Data folder. The Data folder can be found under the directory where you installed Fallout.
• Locate your FALLOUT.INI file. Usually it is found under My Documents\My Games\Fallout 3.
• Edit your FALLOUT.INI file in a text editor like Notepad.
• Change bInvalidateOlderFiles=0 to bInvalidateOlderFiles=1. It is in the [Archive] section a ways down in the file.
• Save the INI file.
• Start the game.
  

2008, Uninstall
If you didn't install other GUI changing mods, all you need is to remove both folders "menus" and "Textures" in Fallout Data folder!

If you installed other GUI changing mods or you are unsure, just remove following files from Fallout Data folder:

Data\menus\barter_menu.xml
Data\menus\container_menu.xml
Data\menus\message_menu.xml
Data\menus\message_menu0_w-buttons.xml
Data\menus\quantity_menu.xml
Data\menus\recipe_menu.xml
Data\menus\repair_services_menu.xml
Data\menus\sleep_wait_menu.xml
Data\menus\tutorial_menu.xml

Data\menus\dialog\dialog_menu.xml
Data\menus\prefabs\list_box.xml
+
Data\menus\prefabs\REVELATION_***.xml (all REVELATION_ files in this folder)
Data\Textures\Interface\Revelation\*.* (all files in this folder)


2008, Incompatibilities
There are some possible bugs on low resolutions (1024x768 and 800x600 especially). :)

Some text labels in not english or russian Fallout 3 versions can get out their places. It may happen 'cause different word translations may differ in letters count. I'm trying to leave a reserve in text fields but nothing is unlimited. ;)
