ReUI

nullptr

Updated the post.

nullptr

I was asked multiple times "Why ReUI is better? What are benefits of using it?"

Turns out there are stunning results, not in favor of original UI. Recently I've been working on construction panel. Completely new and redesigned (from code perspective). And I wanted to know, how my solution works in comparison with original panel.

And I was confused. This whole time whenever you select anything construction panel destroys its contents and creates them again causing about 500kb of memory allocated. And this happens each time! My solution uses 1kb at most! For regular player that means: more times you select your units -> more memory gets trashed -> more often lags spikes happen (even with my high end machine I was noticing some lags, but with new one it feels way smoother).

P.S.: I'd really appreciate if you tried my new solution. More testers = more bugs fixed, more players using it = faster updates...

Stay tuned

Is this installed from the mod vault on the faf client, or from the github?

nullptr

It is partially available in the Vault. Everything else is on GitHub

hmm when watching a replay with reui this is my score screen https://i.imgur.com/QtbgBhI.png

this never happenend when using 4z0t's scoreboard, removing reui.score and enabling 4z0t's makes it work again

Sadly, there are always other UI mods that may conflict with mods based on ReUI.

List of incompatible mods:

UI Party incompatible with
- ReUI.Score - breaks replay scoreboard. Fix: disable alternative start in UI party options.

List of deprecated mods and their successors:

Smart ring display and Smart ring display plus -> #"Rings for all"
4z0t's scoreboard -> #"ReUI.Score"
Ez Reclaim and Optimized reclaim view -> #"ReUI.Reclaim"
Hotbuild overhaul -> #"ReUI.Hotbuild"

Ah, uiparty is fucking with it then

I have updated the forum post. All mods listed there are available in client mod vault to download!

Can the scaling be adjusted based on the in-game settings?

nullptr

@Commander_Bratan scaling option is available per panel.

That construction and action panel is gorgeous. I also use UI Party, will be testing out most of these over the week.

nullptr

UI party may break things sometimes, use it at your discretion

Hi! When will templates be implemented in ReUI.Construction?

mirddes

all of this looks amazing and would be great to see included as official faf features.

@Ctrl-K said in ReUI:

4z0t's scoreboard -> #"ReUI.Score"

Funny thing. I had both of these mods, and then I manually deleted the 1st one (because removed from the mod vault), and lost the ability to switch to team colors (the button with 2 ACUs at the top left). And, if I disable ReUI.Score, I can switch again.

So, if I load with no SIM mods and from UI mods only with the base ReUI and ReUI.Score, I lose the ability to switch to team colors.

Well, I guess it is a bug! Thanks for report.

I tried this out, only change being adding this mod to my install. Tried to start a multiplayer game with someone who did not have the mods and got an immediate desync on starting multiple times in a row until I uninstalled it, just disabling the mods didn't fix it. Is this a known issue? Does each person have to download the mode first (the FAF client used to sync mods to others when they joined)?

This is a UI mod. That means its only client side, so it is possible for only one person to have it.
Do you have any non-ui mods active? The first thing @ctrl-k will ask for is the game log if you want him to check out this problem

ipconfig-release

@Praxitele You must have done something else, this is a UI mod and won't cause deysncs (tested it myself over multiple games).

Praxitele

Tried again and still got desync immediately. If I look at exiting UI modes, only ReUI modes are shown.
