IMPORTANT: Neanka is under no obligations to support or monitor the status of this file. I am providing this as-is. If you cannot get it to work, instead of complaining just uninstall and move on.
I am working from memory regarding readme, installation process, FAQ, etc. So for now these things may seem a bit light. I intend to flesh those things out a bit more and will create a FAQ as questions arise.
Bethesda made significant changes to the flash files in the 1.7 updates in preparation for the final DLC — Nuka World, and when Nuka World came out and the game expected to find those changes and didn't (as this mod didn't contain them) it crashed, just like what happened with the 1.4 update and Automatron (because of the Mechanist Lair icon missing from the HUD).
Neanka (the original creator of this mod) has stopped working on the mod and neither me (Old Nick) nor Valdacil have the required skills, so until someone else stepped forward the mod had to remain in its broken state.
Luckily ParasiteX did step forward
I uploaded an extra installer with just ParasiteX's new HUDMenu files, while Nuka-World was still in closed beta, and it fixed the CTDs (thanks to the few DLC beta testers for confirming), but I waited to update the main file in case we got a few more little fixes and updates, which we did
I've now finally updated the main installer with ParasiteX's new HUDMenu files, along with the various other small fixes that have been provided by me (Old Nick), sekoms and ParasiteX again plus some translation files.
Q: What is the minimum game update that DEF_UI works with?
Q: Something isn't working. How do I know if I am missing any required files?
- Data\interface\HUDMenu.swf
- Data\interface\iconlibs2.swf
- Data\interface\DEF_CONF\DEF_HUD.xml
- Data\interface\DEF_CONF\DEF_INV.xml
- Data\interface\DEF_CONF\DEF_INV_TAGS.xml
DEF_INV requires:
- Data\interface\BarterMenu.swf
- Data\interface\ContainerMenu.swf
- Data\interface\CustomFonts.swf
- Data\interface\ExamineConfirmMenu.swf
- Data\interface\ExamineMenu.swf
- Data\interface\iconslibs2.swf
- Data\interface\lyrConf.xml
- Data\interface\Pipboy_InvPage.swf
- Data\interface\PipboyMenu.swf
- Data\interface\translate_xx.txt (where xx is your language code, eg: en, de, fr, etc)
- Data\interface\Workshop.swf
- Data\interface\DEF_CONF\DEF_INV_TABS.xml
- Data\interface\DEF_CONF\DEF_INV_TAGS.xml
If you are missing any of these files, then something isn't installed right and unexpected results are likely to occur.
Q: OMG!! OMG!! I have a problem. What do I do now?
Useful pieces of information:
1) What is the nature of your problem? Screen doesn't look right, CTD, flying pigs attacking your settlement? Provide something descriptive.
2) What were you doing in the game when the problem occurred? Also known as Steps to Reproduce. Most of the time mod authors can't fix a problem if they cannot identify the cause which usually requires them to reproduce the problem. Knowing what you are doing when the problem occurred helps them to try to reproduce the problem or at least know what game interactions were occurring at the time.
3) Screenshot. Most people don't do a great job fully describing in detail what their problem is and some describe expected behavior as a problem. You know what they say: A picture is worth a thousand words. Use Imgur to post screenshots if you don't already have a similar service. Imgur is completely free, takes a few seconds to setup, take a few more to upload the screenshots, then gives you a nice short URL you can share with the author so they can see what you see.
4) Your load order. This tells the author what other mods you have loaded (some of them may have known issues) and in what order they are loaded (so conflict winner/losers can be identified). In extreme cases, an author can even load the same mods as you to try to reproduce the problem (what a nice author that would be... they definitely deserve a donation). When you do post your load order, don't just dump your load order into the discussion thread. Wrap it in tags. Right before pasting the load order, put a [ spoiler ] (without spaces) tag, and immediately following put a [ /spoiler ] (without spaces) tag. This condenses the load order so everyone doesn't have to scroll past it to see other comments just like this FAQ.
Q: The top bar is missing in workshop mode. How do I get it back?
Q: I am using VIS and have icons instead of tags for most items except armor pieces (ArmL, ArmR, Chest, LegL, LegR). Those show both icon and tag. How do I show just the icon?
Q: Some UI elements show a $ symbol (like $DPS, $Time, etc).
1) You have not properly setup ArchiveInvalidation. Follow this guide.
2) You are missing your translate file (see FAQ question above regarding required files.
Q: Pipboy font is small after modifying settings using Settings.swf.
Q: The game crashes near the Mechanist's Lair if I have Automotron DLC and DEF_UI.
Q: I opened an existing HUD preset in HUDMenuSet.exe from 1.3.0+ but still can't see/move the effects icon bar (Survival Mode Effects Bar).

Save and close. Run HUDMenuSet.exe and you should see and be able to move the effects icon bar.
Q: I get a momentary slowdown switching tabs in Pipboy.
Therefore, if your PC is not very powerful, that processing load can cause a slowdown when switching tabs (which cause DEF_UI to calculate all the items on that tab). Additionally, since it has to parse every item in your inventory, having an excessively large number of items in your inventory can amplify the effect.
Now personally, I've never experienced any noticeable slowdown in the pipboy. I have a decent rig and limit my inventory to only what I need, not carrying around extra items. If you are getting a slowdown and if you don't have a large number of inventory items, then you basically have 2 choices: 1) upgrade your computer or 2) don't use DEF_UI... (or 3) live with the slight hiccup).

NOTE: Copied and updated instructions from 2016-05-01 post so that post (with comments) can be unpinned.
Also, is there any way to disable the grouping of items in the Pipboy? I use a controller and having consumables grouped into submenus is frustrating.
I have UI, Hud, and VIS installed.
Regarding item groups (or rollups) in the inventory. Take a look at the Articles section regarding customizing DEF_UI. There is an .xml file which controls the rollups and if you remove the undesirable groups from that definition (and reindex the remaining per the definition of that file) then you can get those items ungrouped.
(am i still making sense?).
I'm no stranger to modding Bethesda games but here i am completely overwhelmed by the many options of Def_UI's installer, i simply cannot figure out which options i need to pick.
Can someone please tell me which options i should choose for my MAIM playthrough when i also want to install all the FallUI mods?
He's not here now?
I have a bug with this mod, the pip boy time is completely out of sync with the game and does not follow the sleep time advances.
not complaining, im just asking if anyones got it working and how they did it
