[Mask of Arcadius] UI Enhancement Mod

A mod to update the UI and features of Mask of Arcadius by using Liberation Day resources for an all around better viewing experience.

Installation:

Copy the contents of the SunriderMoAEnhancement folder inside the zip to %INSTALLDIR%, say yes when merging folders.

Uninstallation:

First remove the %INSTALLDIR%/game/mods/eui folder.

After uninstalling the mod, any saves creating during mod-use will be too large for the save window and stretch off the screen. To fix this, use the other supplied download: SunriderMoAEnhancementRestore. Copy the contents of the SunriderMoAEnhancement folder inside the zip to %INSTALLDIR%, say yes when merging folders. This is a fix that contains one file, the purpose is to overwrite the save screen with a copy that resizes the save thumbnails to stay inside the window.

Features:

• Improved dialogue text and names, using larger font and color-coded outlines.
• Quick Menu dropdown instead of the navigation bar in the bottom right of the screen.
• Larger Save window that is separated from the lLoad window, making them harder to mix up.
• Larger save screenshots making it easier to preview the scene.
• New less cramped Options window with 3 tabs instead of 2.
• New Bonus menu with the ability to add CG, Background, and Music viewing.
• New Yes/No prompt.
• History window for choice selection when starting a Mask of Arcadius campaign making choice selection much easier.
• An always-present background so that Alt+F4'ing or opening the developer console will not show a gray checkered background.
• Minor polish on the Main Menu selection, and you can now unselect the start option and hide the campaigns.
• Red highlight for active planets in the Galaxy Map.

Mod Detection:

If for some reason, you want your mod to detect if UI Enhancement Mod is installed, use the following snippet. This may be useful if you want room for more than 5 addons in the Addon List like Sorzo. UI Enhancement Mod supports an infinite (theoretically) number of deleted scenes, addons, or CG. It is all handled at runtime.


init python:
   if hasattr(store,'eui'):
       # Do something here because the mod is installed
   else:
       # Do something else because the mod is not installed
