Welcome to my first X4 mod! Just Another Modified User Interface (JAMUI)

I was playing my own game and after I built my own 8th station, I found it took so much place and didn't like it. I went on a quest to find a mod that would do exactly that. I couldn't find any except a "Thinned Station Columns" that is barebone.

Features
  • Compactifies the Stations so they only take one row from two
  • Compactifies the Fleets so they only take one row from two

TODO
  • I'd like to add some mouse over events for many of the stations, ships, fleets so that we have an easy 'at a glance' view
  • Adjust the width of all elements properly so there's no empty are. May not be easily possible

Requirements
Requires the SirNukes Mod Support APIs. It is available from:
  • Steam Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2042901274&searchtext=
  • Github: https://github.com/bvbohnen/x4-projects/releases

I'm looking for suggestions if you have any on what you'd like to see there.

Installation
A. Mostly Automatic Installation
1. Use Vortex Mod Manager. I haven't had issues with the software. It is the default Nexus Mod application.
2. Download SirNukes Mod Support API (sn_mod_support_apis_v?.??.zip) v1.65 at the time of writing. Also available on Steam Workshop.
3. Install Mod Support API with the [Install From File] using the downloaded file

-- or --

B. Manual Installation
1. Download main mod file "JAMUI"
2. Extract the content of the mod file to the following directory:
          [Drive][...]\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\X4 Foundations\extensions
               * Note, create extensions folder if not existing.
3. Download SirNuke Mod Support API (sn_mod_support_apis_v?.??.zip) v1.65 at the time of writing.
4. Extract to same folder as previously extracted JAMUI.

Compatibility
It should be compatible with most other mods that do not touch these functions or the UI.
It overwrites part of the file ./ui/addons/ego_detailmonitor/menu_map.lua

Specific functions are:
  • createObjectList
  • createPropertyOwned
  • createPropertyRow

Mods I personally use and I haven't found issues with:
  • Variety and Rebalance Overhaul
  • Better Scan Colors
  • Dead Air DWS
  • Learning All The Things
  • MeJ Disable Encounters
  • Sector Satellites
  • TaterTrade
  • Civilian Fleets
  • No Super Highway
  • DeadAir Dynamic Wars
  • (Not a Mod) Split Vendetta
