I welcome feedback in my released thread or my portal page!

The second window in the Mother's theme which will eventually replace all the target, player, group members, defensive target, encounter displays. If you liked the player status window, you'll probably like this one.

If not, well - then your reaction to this one can probably also be predicted pretty well.

Version 1.0.1
Graphics update to make target window work. If you don't use the target window, you do not need this version.

Version 1.0.2
Bug fix to make left-clicking on a group member properly set defensive target.

Version 1.0.3
Graphical update to synchronize graphics used by different Mother's windows. No functional / visual changes.

To install:

If you have never installed a Vanguard mod before:

1. Locate and open your Vanguard directory. (This is by default C:\Program Files\Sony\Vanguard)
2. In that directory, find and open the folder named "VGUIAssets"
3. In that directory, find and open the folder named "Shells"
4. Unzip the entire zip file into the shells directory. (You should have a folder called "Mothers" inside your shells directory when you are done.)
5. Go back to your Vanguard directory from step 1
6. In that directory, find and open the folder named "bin"
7. In that directory, find and open the file called "vgclient.ini" (just double click it and it should open with notepad.)
8. Find the part of the file that looks like:

Code:
[UI]ShellName=DefaultValidateXML=False

9. Change the ShellName line as follows:

Code:
[UI]ShellName=MothersValidateXML=False

10. Launch Vanguard and enjoy!

If you have installed other Mother's UIs for Vanguard:

1. Locate and open your Vanguard directory. (This is by default C:\Program Files\Sony\Vanguard)
2. In that directory, find and open the folder named "VGUIAssets"
3. In that directory, find and open the folder named "Shells"
4. In that directory, find and open the folder named "Mothers"
5. In that directory, find and open the folder named "Skins"
6. Copy from the zip file the two files with names beginning with "mothers_widgets" and place them in the skins folder you just opened.
7. Go back up one level to the "Mothers" folder.
8. In that directory, find and open the folder named "Windows"
9. Look in that folder for a file called "VGUIGroup_Group.xml"
9a. If that file exists, overwrite it with the same-named file from the zip file. This is the only modified file. Congratulations, you are done. Launch Vanguard and enjoy!
9b. If that file does not exist, copy all the files that start with "VGUI_Group" from the zip file into the folder you are now in.
10. Go back up to the "Mothers" folder.
11. Open the "Index.xml" file with notepad. (You'll probably have to right-click and choose "Open With" to do so.)
12. Find the line that reads:

Code:
<GameplayWindows directory="Windows">

13. Immediately after that line, add the following 2 lines:

14. Find the line that reads: (probably above the place you are editting)

15. Delete that entire line.
16. Load and play Vanguard.
