[WIP] [1.12.x] HUDReplacer - (v1.2.11-beta)

There should be a toolbar (or any other) button that toggles HUDReplacer's keybinds. I either sometimes find some textures that need texturing during normal sessions (and forget about them) or just forget that I had the dev version installed and either have to suffer with no roll controls or suffer with the atrocious loading times again (mods + HDD).

Right, so at this point I should probably just merge both versions into one dll for ease of use. This will be in the next release.

I have a small idea of thing to add to HUDReplacer: when pressing a key (like 'a' or something) HUDReplacer goes through all loaded textures and dumps them to  GameData/HUDReplacer/PluginData/  or something. Or pressing that key pops out a dialog box where we can enter a texture's name, which HUDReplacer saves to  GameData/HUDReplacer/PluginData/ . Just an idea, but it may help quite a lot.

So as an example, let's say you wanna replace the stock vertical speed gauge at the top. Would you press D to get the current textures names on the mouse, then press A, type in the name of the gauge, then it saves that texture to a folder with the correct name already set? e.g. "GaugeVerticalSpeed#138x138"?

Exactly! Also this way we can have access to these ominous "font" textures :)

Toolbar button done.. Now to work on the new texture dumping feature.

Welp, bad news. Looks like it's not possible to read textures from the game data..

Quote

"Texture is not readable. The texture memory cannot be accessed from scripts."

The solution would be to find the import formatter and change the IsReadable flag, but this value is not accessible outside of the unity editor from what I can tell. That means I can't do much about it as it stands right now.

1.1.0-beta is released.

https://github.com/UltraJohn/HUDReplacer/releases/tag/1.1.0-beta

What's Changed

• Debug and release versions of the mod have been merged into one dll, for ease of use.
• Added a toolbar button ingame to enable or disable the developer features.
• Added a settings manager which is used to enable or disable the toolbar button. Remember to change the setting in HUDReplacer/Settings.cfg showDebugToolbar from false to true to enable the button.

This is so wonderful! I just built a new PC and adding Parallax/BR-EVE and this new mod is basically KSP2 for me. Thanks for bringing this to the community!!

I'll change Naztheme's numbers ASAP, thanks!

Nice little amongus characters, by the way :)

Now to find the icon texture.

Amazing. There's also TumblerMagnitude for the letters, and another called tumbler_comma.

You mean the sea level/ground level texture?
SeaLevel_Icon - WxH=46x44
GroundLevel_Icon - WxH=46x44

They don't change colors - they're always black. Well, I guess I'll have to make my altimeter lighter then... :(

Probably colored in code then. I'll see if I can figure something out for that.

[UltraJohn]

Aha, I may have found the solution to coloring the numbers...

 

Edit:

Oh look!

 

Are there other elements that need recoloring support?

So, how did you do? Is it code?

Anyways, here are my new digits, tell me what you think of them.

[zapsnh]

I can't theme the Mission Builder since there's no toolbar button for it and I can't use Q, E, or D.

Yes it's colored by a material, and it's easy to overwrite with your own:

var tumbler = FindObjectOfType<KSP.UI.Screens.Tumbler>();
if(tumbler != null)
{
  tumbler.SetColor(new Color(r,g,b,a));
}

The downside is that I have to add each type of UI element individually if you want it to support recoloring. Though so far it would only be the Tumbler numerals and letters. If there's more let me know so I can add it.

 

Now to think of how the configs should be structured for this... Perhaps a cfg with something like this?

HUDReplacerRecolor:NEEDS[HUDReplacer]
{
	TumblerNumerals = 1,1,1,1
}

The values given are RGBA with the range going from 0 to 1.

Is this the same issue @Nazalassamentioned a few pages back? I don't have the dlc for this, so I can't really test it myself.

I've looked at the options given for KSPAddon.Startup and I don't see an option for this scene specifically. Someone will have to help me with this one.

I've got Making History and I also don't see any options for it.
(just to make sure I'm not a dumb goof, are the options in public enum Startup?)

Yeah, that's it. Although with the poor documentation of KSP in general, it's impossible to know if any of them include the mission builder and without access to that menu, I can't test them.

 

Edit:

@zapsnh

Ok so in your screenshot I noticed it's actually loading some of your textures already. That would indicate it might be using the same scene as the main menu.

Since there's no toolbar button on the main menu, what you can try is loading into KSC to spawn the button, then enable debug, back out to the main menu and then try the debug hotkeys. Let me know how that goes.

Maybe try  KSPAddon.Startup.EveryScene  (or so it's named)?
Also I have found this in KSP.log:  kspMissionEditor.unity  (may be useful).

Excellent! Also maybe add a way to specify pointer textures, instead of checking for every image? Like:

HUDReplacer:NEEDS[HUDReplacer]
{
	cursorDir = GameData/<modDirectory>/Cursors
}

(to specify a directory in which the cursors are)

or

HUDReplacer:NEEDS[HUDReplacer]
{
	cursorNormal = GameData/<modDirectory>/Cursors/normal.png
    cursorLeftClick = GameData/<modDirectory>/Cursors/left.png
    cursorRightClick = GameData/<modDirectory>/Cursors/right.png
}

(to specify files individually)

(whatever is better)

[Nazalassa]

Also, maybe add the orange "window bar" to the list of colorable elements if possible :)

Well as I mentioned in the edit above, I don't think there's a specific scene used for mission builder, but either way I can't test it myself. Try the "fix" i mentioned and let me know if that works. If not I'll try your idea just to make absolutely sure I didn't miss anything.

Not sure what you mean here? The pointer textures already work in the latest version?

So that we can give meaningful names to pointer textures, and also with this change you can remove all the 'if's from the function that refreshes images, and HR would probably run a little faster. (just a guess)

btw, have you seen @Space Scumbag (aka swdennis)'s video about HR?

I can kinda see what you mean, being able to rename the files to something other than basicNeutral? But then you could say the same for every other texture? I'd like to keep it simple to make the configs, and try to allow as much as possible to be automated without requiring writing configs for each individual part. However, in the case of the cursor I might make an exception for that, since it already requires some extra code to work.

 

I will clean up the 'if' code in a future update. In terms of performance, there won't be any noticeable difference between your suggestion, as the current method of loading the cursor textures is done in the same pass as everything else.

No, I have not. Gonna have to check that out!

Gotcha, I'll look at that next!

Does anyone know what the Steam (presumably the Steam Workshop) icon texture in the VAB is called?

[mateusviccari]

I'm seeing some missing buttons in the RP-1 tech tree, can this be the culprit (I'm using ZTheme)?

EDIT - Not the culprit. It was actually "Hide empty tech tree nodes" which was causing the issue.
