DroxUI: Small Diplo Cards

Jodokai · #1 09-26-2009, 03:36 PM

I've posted this in the UI Comments, then realized it might be better here. I use DroxUI but want to use the small diplomacy cards found in other UI's and in Infomap. I tried following the directions and edit the XML files myself but that ended horribly and I had to reload Drox. If anyone could add this or give me directions for dummies, I would appreciate it.

Hey i'll try an walk it thou as i have it set up in my drox to help you:

1) take these xml files and add them into Drox/Windows folder
DMCParleyCardStrat.xml
DMCParleyCardLib.xml
DMCLibraryPage.xml
DMCParleyStrategy.xml
DMCParley.xml
DMCSavedDecks.xml

2) take these files and add them into the drox/Textures folder
DMCParts.xml
DMCParts.tga

3) Open the Drox/skin.xml (wordpad)(make a backup of the skin file just in case)

under this line: 
<AnimationDefinitions directory="Textures">

Add this line: <AnimationDefinition filename="DMCParts.xml"/>

close and save.

4) Open the drox/index.xml (wordpad) (make a backup of the index file just in cast )

under this line: <GameplayWindows directory="..\Default\Windows">
comment out these lines:





close and save

5)Open the drox/index.xml again (wordpad) (make a backup of the index file just in cast )
under this line: <GameplayWindows directory="Windows">
add these lines:
<Window filename="DMCParleyCardStrat.xml"/>
<Window filename="DMCParleyCardLib.xml"/>
<Window filename="DMCLibraryPage.xml"/>
<Window filename="DMCParleyStrategy.xml"/>

Thanks for the help. I tried to follow your directions and even cut and pasted your lines, and it worked... sorta. I have the Diplomacy Windows I want, but a lot of the other windows are gone. For example when I hit esc and click on DroxUI settings, nothing happens, toolbars are missing, mini map, etc. Any ideas?

You probably missed a > or a " somewhere.

In fact, the last line of dosi's code is missing one:

<Window filename="DMCSavedDecks.xml />

should be

<Window filename="DMCSavedDecks.xml" />
