Yea, only one. But a single function would be easier to use then a complicated workaround.

[Rhysa Hughes]

Maybe in the next version. which I hope comes out soon...... as I need InsertXMLTemplate to work. I have an XP machine.

[Dominic Vaughan]

When using the "ShowGenericMenu" function, can you input the full path of the XML file if you don't want to use the "Data\Menus\Generic\" filepath?

[Daramis McGee]

Is it possible to add a parameter (bool) to ShowGenericMenu, which specifies if other open menus are hidden.

[Laura Elizabeth]

Is is possible to get a Debug-Mode?
One that tell's you if the trait/child you were trying to set/get a value doesn't exist?
I tend to forget slight changes during C&P and this would help me narrow the problem down.

Debug mode...no not really. Although I suppose I could add a function to toggle it for the specific mod (like how SetDebugMode works) with regards to the UI functions.

Just tried using Scroll Tile Systems. Another awsome thing working exactly as required. :wub:
Anyway, I find this information is a bit misleading:

I first though it'd add/reduce the old value, but it becomes some positive/negative value when scrolling. Perfectly for adding it to the current <_position> trait.
Still, not what the description says.

I agree the info is somewhat misleading but due to how things work internally it is a better description on what a Scroll system does as a whole.

5th post in a row. I'm feeling kind of lonely here. :ahhh:
Anyway, I wondered if it's possible to get any information about which TextEdit is currently open if the Menu has more than one?

Hehe, sorry, working hard. As for your request, I added such a function right after your request for better control over TextEdit systems. Doesn't have a 'use-last-if-none' but that is trivial to add.

Maybe in the next version. which I hope comes out soon...... as I need InsertXMLTemplate to work. I have an XP machine.

I hope so too, it's been way to long since I actually modded for Oblivion (with the CS that is).

When using the "ShowGenericMenu" function, can you input the full path of the XML file if you don't want to use the "Data\Menus\Generic\" filepath?

No, the path must always be relative to "Data\Menus\Generic", this was done on purpose to avoid possible issues with trying to open a different kind of menu. Is there a specific menu you would like to be able to open through script?

Is it possible to add a parameter (bool) to ShowGenericMenu, which specifies if other open menus are hidden.

Hmmmm, maybe. Well sure, adding such a parameter is possible, actually making it work is maybe. Will need to see how simple it is to hide a menu without messing up the normal flow of things.

Cool, thanks.

[Taylor Thompson]

Thanks for the update.

[LijLuva]

No, the path must always be relative to "Data\Menus\Generic", this was done on purpose to avoid possible issues with trying to open a different kind of menu. Is there a specific menu you would like to be able to open through script?

No, the menu I want to open is actually located in "Data/Menus/Generic", but I was just curious.

Are you going to add the functionality of allowing MenuQue to be able to retrieve information from BSA's?

[Alexandra walker]

Got a graphical error when using ShowGenericMenu.

[Add Me]

Disregard my last post. The error was because I was using the wrong size icon for the menu. I corrected it.

[Izzy Coleman]

Any news on an update here?

[Bellismydesi]

News.....um tomorrow probably.

[carley moss]

kyoma, let me ask you something:

I inserted an XML with the function in your plugin. But, I had to script it to only load once, or else there were side effects. Problem is, it seems Oblivion doesn't fully render the XML contents when I do that. There is an .dds file that is part of the XML. It does not get fully loaded, it's just a black box, but when the game loads, it shows up faded and transparent. Do you know of a way I can correct that?

[Robert Jr]

Please post the XML code and script (snippet), maybe something else is going on.

Here's the XML:
....
Thanks, kyoma.

Cool thanks, will take a look. Although a screenshot or the texture being used would help. I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get a picture of the problem. :/

Anyways, an XML element would only need to be inserted once per instance of the menu. In the case of HUDMainMenu this is once per session (restarted that is). Ofcourse a small check to see if it already exists or not using GetMenuHasTrait does wonders. It can't even hurt much running it each frame (in the rare occassion the user typed "reload HUDMainMenu" in the console).

if GetMenuTrait "TimeKeeper\depth" == 0;needs to be insertedendif

http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd367/mlonnemann/ScreenShot2.jpg is a screenshot of what I'm talking about. See how it is faded and has a spot that is darker than the rest? It's like the XML isn't loading the texture completely. It should be completely black. The alpha is set to be completely opaque. I'm going to add the option to control the alpha later, but I want to get this squared away first.

[Mandy Muir]

I can't run "InsertXML" every frame because it causes the numbers being displayed to get overwritten. Lets say it's 1:00 PM, when 1:01 PM happens, the 0 from 1:00 is still displayed. The 1 from 1:01 overwrites the 0, so it's jumbled and you can't really tell what time it is. So, the XML can only be inserted once per game load. The only way I know how to do that is add to an GetGameLoaded block, or use a temp variable that is set only once per session.

I tried the example you gave, and the texture displayed correctly, but the time did not.

EDIT:

No, I'm sorry. That script snippet displays the time correctly. I forgot to insert the menu type. But the texture is still faded and wonky as shown in the screenshot.

[Robert]

Hi kyoma
How have you compile OBSE plugging?

I try since some day but it's always a fail.
Firstly i have Visual 2010 and OBSE plugging project don't were made with older version. I must make a conversion and i lost some file link
Secondly every time i have this error : No file found OBSE_plugin.dll

Where i can find this library?

When you call InsertXML it does not care if the element may already exist, it simply adds another instance of it with the same name. I suspect this is the reason inserting it multiple times appeared to fix your texture problem. When multiple semi-transparent images overlap they become less transparent as they stack on top of one another.

Ah yes, I forgot the menutype in my code. Without it the condition would always be false and thus insert stuff each time. Not really what I intended ofcourse. And as mentioned above the reason the texture appeared correctly was because many instances of the element (and it's semi-transparent box) overlapped.

Anyways, about the texture, there are a few things that might be causing it. All of which have more to do with the actual texture than with any XML code, like alpha channel, compression and/or mipmaps. It would really help if you could upload the exact file somewhere, if I experience the same problem with the exact same texture then we know where the problem lies.

From looking at the screenshot it appears as if there are two black boxes, a larger, semi-transparent one and a smaller fully filled one. Yet your XML code only contains a single image element so the game must indeed not be loading the texture as you expect. This can either be a bug (for which I have no idea what it might be) or simply a mixup with the texture being in the wrong format or something.

Okay. But do you have any idea how to fix the transparent texture problem when you call the function to insert the xml only once?

[Alessandra Botham]

First try adding your XML code directly to the HUDMainMenu, just to rule out (or confirm) any particular issue with MenuQue.

Okay. Just to clarify, you mean via an XML file insertion? Modify the main HUD XML, right?

[tiffany Royal]

No, I think kyoma was suggesting that you just copy your XML into HUD main menu as a test. Basically replicate what insert XML would do without using that command.
