HUD framework generic update

[rickh229]

Can anybody tell me what this means? I shows up in the top left corner when I am moving around.

I'd like an answer to this ... if possible.

I've tried to do some research ... but to be honest, I'm not really understanding what to do to solve it.
There's something about an auto-patcher .... and a hudmenu.swf to be installed somewhere??

I'm using ...
Hud Framework
DEF UI
DEF UI Compatibility Patch

Please ... if someone could talk me through this .. so that even the hard-of-thinking users like myself can understand it. I'm new to FO4 modding so I'm not used to the terminology as yet.

The generic update spam means that the correct HUDMenu.swf is not in your Fallout4/Data/interface directory. I'm using PleasantUI, which uses a HUDMenu.swf. What I had to do is most likely what you guys have to do. I had PleasantUI installed before I got HUDFramework, so here is what I did to get it to work in the simplest way I can break it down:

1. Uninstall PleasantUI

2. Install HUDFramework and then Holotime (this is just the mod I got HUDFramework for)

3. Install PleasantUI. NMM will ask to overwrite HUDMenu.swf, I said yes.

4. Download HUDFramework auto-patcher. Make sure you have Java installed on your PC

5. Extract auto-patcher archive to anywhere you want

6. Go into your Fallout 4/Data/interface directory. There you should see HUDMenu.swf

7. Copy/cut this file into the auto-patcher folder you extracted. You should paste it where the auto-patch command script is, not inside any of the subfolders.

8. Run the auto-patcher command script. A command prompt window should open. press Y and then enter

9. The auto-patcher will now merge HUDFramework into the UI's HUDMenu.swf. You will know this works because the command prompt will tell you.

10. You'll now have two new files in that folder. HUDMenu.swf and HUDMenu_patched.swf. You'll want to move the HUDMenu_patched.swf into your Fallout 4/Data/interface directory

11. Rename HUDMenu_patched to HUDMenu. The one you originally moved in step 7 is the original. This is your back up.

12. Start up the game. The generic update spam should now be gone and you should still have your UI mod of choice along with the new features of whatever mod you needed HUDFramework for

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain it all so well ... much appreciated.

You're very welcome :D I had to do a bit of searching and luckily found a comment on the Nexus page about it.

I use DEF_UI now but the steps I wrote are still the same. You have to install HUDFramework first, and then install DEF_UI. It will ask you to overwrite HUDMenu, you want to choose yes.

Then at this point you can install the compatibility patch if you don't want to do the rest of the steps I wrote with the autopatcher. When you install the patch it will obviously ask you to overwrite, and you'll want to choose yes again.

Can you please help? So my HUDMenu.swf is in there and I still have that problem

You haven't really given any information. I don't know what you're trying to install or what you've done

Best way to get help with this is to start your own thread, describe exactly the problem your having, and list your LOOT'ed load order.

That's an incredibly unsafe site link you've got there. Good luck with that. Follow the tutorial above.
