The source code is available on Github.
This mod:
- moves HUD info to the unused edges of the screen
- Adds hotkey functionality, including custom actions supplied by other mods
- adds an error log indicator and display
This feature, coupled with the error log viewer, is particularly useful for testing mods.
You could create a testing mod and register custom hotkey handlers to create enemies, modify character status, etc., then activate your mod whenever you want to test other mods you are developing.
Here is some explanatory sample code for a test mod:
Code: Select all
void Start()
{
Debug.Log("Start(): MyTestingMod");
Mod retroFrame = ModManager.Instance.GetMod("Retro-Frame");
const string registerHotkey = "registerCustomHotkeyHandler";
retroFrame.MessageReceiver(registerHotkey, ("Disease", Texture2D.redTexture), Inflict);
retroFrame.MessageReceiver(registerHotkey, ("Poison", Texture2D.redTexture), Inflict);
retroFrame.MessageReceiver(registerHotkey, ("Vampirism", Texture2D.redTexture), Inflict);
retroFrame.MessageReceiver(registerHotkey, ("Lycanthrope", Texture2D.redTexture), Inflict);
retroFrame.MessageReceiver(registerHotkey, ("Mage", Texture2D.redTexture), CreateEnemy);
retroFrame.MessageReceiver(registerHotkey, ("Skeleton", Texture2D.redTexture), CreateEnemy);
Debug.Log("Finished Start(): MyTestingMod");
}
void Inflict(string description, object hotkeyIndex)
{
PlayerEntity player = GameManager.Instance.PlayerEntity;
EntityEffectBundle bundle;
switch (description.ToLower())
{
case "poison":
FormulaHelper.InflictPoison(player, player, DaggerfallWorkshop.Game.Items.Poisons.Moonseed, true);
break;
case "disease":
FormulaHelper.InflictDisease(player, player, new Diseases[] { Diseases.BloodRot });
break;
case "vampirism":
bundle = GameManager.Instance.PlayerEffectManager.CreateVampirismDisease();
GameManager.Instance.PlayerEffectManager.AssignBundle(bundle, AssignBundleFlags.SpecialInfection);
break;
case "lycanthrope":
bundle = GameManager.Instance.PlayerEffectManager.CreateLycanthropyDisease(LycanthropyTypes.Werewolf);
GameManager.Instance.PlayerEffectManager.AssignBundle(bundle, AssignBundleFlags.SpecialInfection);
break;
default:
break;
}
}
void CreateEnemy(string description, object hotkeyIndex)
{
MobileTypes mobileType;
switch (description.ToLower())
{
case "mage":
mobileType = MobileTypes.Mage;
break;
case "skeleton":
mobileType = MobileTypes.SkeletalWarrior;
break;
default:
mobileType = MobileTypes.Rat;
break;
}
Transform parent = GameObjectHelper.GetBestParent();
Vector3 location = GameManager.Instance.PlayerObject.transform.position;
location += GameManager.Instance.PlayerObject.transform.forward * 2;
string name = mobileType.ToString();
GameObject go = GameObjectHelper.InstantiatePrefab(DaggerfallUnity.Instance.Option_EnemyPrefab.gameObject, name, parent, location);
SetupDemoEnemy setupEnemy = go.GetComponent<SetupDemoEnemy>();
setupEnemy.ApplyEnemySettings(mobileType, MobileReactions.Hostile, MobileGender.Female, 0, false);
GameManager.Instance.RaiseOnEnemySpawnEvent(go);
DaggerfallEntityBehaviour behaviour = setupEnemy.GetComponent<DaggerfallEntityBehaviour>();
EnemyEntity enemy = behaviour.Entity as EnemyEntity;
DaggerfallUI.AddHUDText($"Spawned {enemy.Name}({name})");
DaggerfallEnemy dfEnemy = behaviour.GetComponent<DaggerfallEnemy>();
dfEnemy.LoadID = DaggerfallUnity.NextUID;
}
Update: Added the ability for other mods to grab and modify the content panel. See the github Readme for details.
IMO this is quite a clever mod. Its the ultimate way to play DFU in retro mode, 4:3 aspect, same as the original was, and than using the free space on the monitor, to show the hud on the sides.
