Darnified UI - where to get it?

[highfever]

Hello there,

I just reinstalled FO3 Goty and wanted to install some mods. While I found most of the mods on the nexus server, the Darnified UI mod is no longer there. The link on the bethsoft server took my to a server called ui.darnified.net and there seems to be no way for me to get an access to this server - password protected with no ability to join.

The only other server I found is called modsreloaded.com, and the file I can get there is called DUI.zip, while the original Darnified file is suppossed to be called UIf3va11. And you can't download the alpha hotfix from this server.

I tried to install Darnified UI with this file anyway, but it crashed my game beyond repair thrice, so I had to redownload it several times (I tried FOMM and manually on a vanilla game, only fose installed, no NMM, both failed).

Does anybody out there knows how to get those files, since I really like the DUI.

Thanks in advance for any help

The darn ui with hotfix is in that file. You just need extract both files.

Thanks, I didn't realize it, thought it would be only the first part of the mod. The creator of the mod could have put some installation instructions on that page.

Thanks again. oscar20645

Somebody should pin this or a topic like this so that others who are having trouble finding this mod can find it easily. I'm glad this post exists.

I would advise installing mods with Mod Organizer.
It doesn't overwrite game files like you would when manually installing mods or while using FOMM or NMM and also checks the data structure is correct.

I found a better solution than the Mods Reloaded version, which I had trouble with. Here's the link for the latest Fallout 3 Darnified UI version: http://tesall.ru/files/file/3254-darnified-ui-f3/ Yes it's in Russian, but if you translate the page and create an account it will let you download the file. Don't copy the text from the site, that's in Russian. Go to http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1085562-wipzbeta-darnified-ui-f3/ and copy the text into your fallout.ini from there. It will work fine and you should have the latest Darnified UI. Good luck everyone! Worked for me!

If you use fose this doesn't really work because it doesn't seem to come with the duif3extras esp... this is literally the only mod I want on my game, i guess maybe I'll try it without fose.. every time i install I just get instant crashes.

dunno if you are still on the hunt, but this one: https://gamebanana.com/guis/34380 gives you a zip with the activation-ready .esp-file. In NMM, just copy+paste into Fallout (goty) data folder, activate plug-in, copy+paste DarnUI's changed fonts section in Fallout.ini file

and you're done.

Before I found this, I went almost nuts and nearly bit my desk over getting this DARNed mod to run properly.

I followed Gopher's mod tutorial on youtube, and this was the only point where I deviated from his path, since those old bethesda links are long dead and the stuff you find elsewhere on the interwebz is either in 7z or FOMOD, but none worked for me.

IRIEMK - DANKE !!! Sogar mit allen Mods die ich vorher drauf hatte läuft der Mist ohne was geändert zu haben ;DD

If he does it would require meticulous work. Most mods are designed for older mod manager.

I agree with maxswr, what he said is the only way I am now able to get the game to start without crashing doing a new install with darnUI. My old copies of his files, my archive copies of the "dui_f3a11.zip" & "dui_f3a11_HF.7z" just would not work. I edited the fallout.ini file in my games folder 10 times to make sure it was done correctly. Installed and reinstalled the 2 files without success; in the past I have played F03 with darnUI thousands of hours, probably reinstalling the game via steam 3 times as I upgraded operating systems. Just saying. Today I only just now got game to load without crashing by using the version maxswr found. So far it is very good. TY max

1 year after and i can confirm this still works, thank you so much!

You are very welcome DRAEGONDRAVAL. Nice to see some other oldskoolers still love the FO3 too. And nice to see my stuff still helps.

And after 2 years can confirm that THIS is STILL the only solution I can find that worked for me.

Thank you SO MUCH

You are -still- very welcome^^. There is another DARN that I used for FNV more recently, over here.

https://taleoftwowastelands.com/viewtopic.php?t=7284

Gopher used this in his FNV mod tutorial, and it has even gotten some updating since. Didn't need any ini editing nor the old -now defunct- Font Dummy Mod in FNV to make it work. Used the simple Community NMM, and it installed without a hitch.

I dunno if this works for FO3 as flawlessly, but since it's TTW I guess...
