How to mod the UI

[TurboJyri]

Tried to search quickly, but with no success. I made mod for some items, and now when I "activate" the mod I made, all hero and item textures / icons are chess colored. What might be causing that?

It means you messed up. Don't edit resources0.s2z directly, it'll do that.

I didn't edit it directly, I put the file I modified to game/items/***/***/
folder, in similar way to the guide.
EDIT: is there way to receive modding support in real time somehow? Some irc-channel or?

[[ShAn]Montis]

yes.

EDIT: wrong thread..

[allibabba]

the realodinterface does not work for me.

neither for package nor for interface

still tells me: "not found"

i packed it to game and game/ui folder. i called it with and without extention.

i like to edit game_end_stats.interface or game_end_stats_v2.package

what do i do wrong?

reloadinterfaces will always reload all the interfaces, but I think your problem might be that your using old interface files that the game itself never loads. The files in the folder ui that have to do with the in-game interface are all still used, but those that have to do with the rest of the game's interface are now in ui/fe2, but the old files can still be found in the ui folder.

In other words, ui/game_end_stats.interface might never be used and you should rather look for the corresponding file in ui/fe2.

Another example: ui/main.interface is never used, because it has been replaced with ui/fe2/main.interface.

[allibabba]

but ingame scoreboard is not in fe2, i can only find it in ui.

i tried to put the "new" game_lobby in .../game/ui/fe2/game_lobby.package and reload. still no success.

edit: main.interface worked now, only interface possible? cant reload packages?
edit2: cant reload packages. find the interface that includes the package and reload this one.

example: main.interface and player_stats.package put in ui/fe2/ and reload main.interface if you like to edit player_stats.package

could be added to the guide, or did i missed that?

[digipacman]

reloadinterface game_lobby fails for me. "interface game_lobby not found"

I extracted resources0.s2z into the /game directory so there is a /game/ui

Inside there I edited the file game_lobby.interface. But when I run that console command I get that error?

Edit: Nvm, I found a nice guide.

Someone knows in which file is "music" coded (which plays from /music folder)?

[[E]bergLEEET]

If I want to make the flare from Flint another color, where do I have to search? I'm clueless..

Edit: I found the file, but I'm still clueless what to do... Help pls, thx
I know I suck, first tries :>

Um. Is there any documentation or a list of functions that return game information(in a non-cheating way)?

I'm trying to make a mod that warns me with a soundfile when to creep pull as well as a mod that detects when your ward is about to run out.

I don't really know how to get the game time nor which interface package i should modify.

Just going through other peoples code (barter and hon) i think there is GetTime();?

@Alcapowned
I know there's a mod which already does that, I think it's Bang! Mia or Bang! Scrolling Everything or something like that.

watch=MatchTime (for game time)



But there is already good mod for that sleyn_stacktimer

Now to test changes you simple have to hit

Code:
crt-F8
and type

Code:
reloadinterface <interface_name>

Friend, you made my day!
Thanks, this will help me a LOT.

Hi, sorry for bumping this old thread, but I think this is the most
appropriate place to put this question.

I am trying to learn how to make HoN-mods, I found a old guide here:
http://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/her...-hon-mods.html

I am trying to make a "Lock me and my friend" script, heres the script they use:

<!-- LOCK US BUTTON!-->
        <panel color="invisible" x="8h" y="-2h" height="3h" width="3h" name="chat_lockh_panel" >
            <image texture="/ui/lockh/LH.tga"/>
            <button
            texture="/ui/elements/button_bevel.tga"
                onclick="AllChat('Can you lock me (DoubleDTheGreat) and ProButLags please? :)');"
                onrightclick="AllChat('Pretty Please? :)');"
            />
        </panel>

They add this code to the file game_lobby.interface, but that file doesn't exist anymore.
I tried to add this script to the Game_chat.interface, but it dint work.

Can you guys teach me how I make a simple script, that adds a button in the lobby which enters text in the all-chat when its clicked?
