[MOD][BLT] MUI, Scalable UI

[Armithaig]

Latest major version: Rev. 43 (Dec 20, 2020)

Minimalistic, scalable UI mod with tons of in-game options that liberates roughly 80% of needlessly obstructed pixels[i.imgur.com] on your screen by default. This is aimed at those who are fairly familiar with the game already and do not need constant assistance from the UI.

Assume compatibility issues with mods that have "HUD" in their names. They typically modify the same UI elements.

FEATURES

• Scaling & Positioning
  Any MUI element can be resized and placed however/wherever you like it.
  
• Customizable
  Beyond just scaling and positioning, each panel has unique options. If there is a certain something in MUI you don't like/isn't compatible, it can be completely disabled.

• Minimalist Design
  Unnecessary garbage is cut out, situational semi-junk is hidden & displayed on demand. Most in-game elements have been rebuilt from scratch with countless internal improvements.

• New Functionality
  Though deliberately reserved a few new functions've snuck in. E.g. animated voice commands, stamina, revives. Small, optional things.

I appreciate that, we're only some 4-5 people who have actually tried it so far. If you have problems tell me what mods you use in addition to this & email me the latest log in Payday 2/mods/logs.

Snazzy. Only snag would be compatibility with other HUD mods.

I gotcha, seeing as their philosophy is to display more info and mine was to display less, I didn't figure there'd be much overlap in the userbase if you catch my drift.
If'n there was enough demand for it I could probably slap in PocoHUD compatibility but'm almost certain it wouldn't play nice with the whole dynamic resize thing.

The scalability and repositioning are great, more so than hiding elements. I'd have to give it a test to see how it works out.

I loved your sales pitch. Keep up the good work. You have made my day. LOL

Bahah, I actually had to tone 'at down quite a bit. I've got a few other miscellaneous mods coming like stutterless husk syncing, separate bindable buttons for shouting only at enemies/marking specials & etc. 'll see what I can get away with pitchin'.

Make sure to bind keys for toggling information & voice commands, I use F4 and F3 respectively.

Options -> Mod Options -> MUI -> Keybinds -> Toggle Info Keybind
Bind it to a key, any key. Works like this[www.gfycat.com].
There's also an option to have that information enabled/disabled by default on heist start.
Options -> Mod Options -> MUI -> Miscellaneous -> Begin Hidden

Most options have a description on the top of the screen when you hover over them.

WHAT IN ALL FLAMING C#%£STRUMPETS ARE YOU DOING, I know absolute power corrupts absolutely but you're takin' it way too far. Door's to your left.

Just last night i asked Ahab for a minimal HUD and here it is
Thank you :>

[Rhynne]

Wow, this is really cool! I was thinking about a mod like this just last night. Really nice work!


I can confirm this works perfectly fine with our Restoration Mod's HUD. Awesome work!

Thanks darling, I've been keeping it warm with my rear padding for a few months now, hopefully it don't smell too bad. I'll double-check for compatibility issues with Restoration Mod whenever Lastbullet's come down from the big lightshow in the sky.

I tried your mod and I like it. Great flexibility. Thanks!

In order to get the UI components closer to the screen border (which is important when you use a vertical layout), I've added at the end of function HUDTeammate:resize() in mui.lua:

	plp:set_h(rhp:h())
	plp:parent():set_h(plp:bottom())

Tested with these settings:

{"mui_label_level":false,"mui_team_size":50,"mui_label_scaling":true,"mui_label_margin":2,"mui_position":3,"mui_label_infamy":false,"mui_align":2,"mui_direction":2,"mui_begin_hidden":false,"mui_player_alpha":100,"mui_label_size":31,"mui_label_bag":true,"mui_label_alpha":100,"mui_clean_names":1,"mui_order":1,"mui_player_size":80,"mui_gap_size":0}

Thanks for trying it out frogman. Though there's space down there for special equipment like muriatic acid, crowbars, keycards n' junk like that. As you can see here.

I see what you're driving at though, I'll see what I can do about an option for stacking it above/left/right of the player panel rather than just below it.
