How do I make a custom UI mod?

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 4:42 am

Did a few Google searches as well as on this forum, but feel free to slap me if I missed something obvious.

Are there any resources or tutorials out there for how to customize the in-game GUI i.e. adding custom window forms / HUD add-ons? Are 3rd party tools required or can this be done with the official editing tools? I did see somewhere on this forum something about .NIF files and using XML to do some HUD tweaks but that seemed to be more about swapping out the graphics used and not adding new forms with buttons and other controls with scripted functionality.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to make an in-game optimized leveling planner that would let you set up a plan and show progress bars on the HUD for skills you were focusing on and warn you if you leveled a skill that was out-of-plan.

Thanks.
