Problems with DEF_UI

[Psyclops]

For the past few days I've had trouble saving the changes that I've make to my DEF_UI HUD. So, today I tried to reinstall the mod to see if that would fix the problem, but that only multiplied my problems...Now, not only am I unable to save the changes to my HUD, but when I log into the game I'm presented with a big red and white banner the says "Make Config XML with Config app please run HudMenuSet.exe from Data interface folder"

I'm not exactly sure what "make config XML with config app..." means. Anyone know what they're talking about?

This problem started after I installed/uninstalled the "Functional Displays" mod, if that helps.

in data/interface there is an application called HUDMenuSet.

Run that, leaving it default if you want, then save it (Ctrl+S) to data/interface/DEF_CONF

It must be located in that folder. DEF_CONF.

I've been using DEF_UI for about 8 months without any problems. I'm aware of how to make saves. This problem started after I installed the "Functional Displays" mod, which made my game crash at the loading screen...before I disabled it.

You realize that vital information was not in the original post?

Also "make saves?" That is not how you "make saves." That is how you make DEF_HUD's configuration file.

Functional Displays is an ancient broken mod. Do not use mods with 53 open bug reports.

@JDaremo Fireheart I watched the video you posted but didn't see anything in it that pertains to my problem...did I miss something?

1 get rid of Functional displays. it's messed up in almost all load orders and hasn't been updated in years. I say almost, because some have it with no issues.
last year when I had it on a new game, I used to get random CTDs. Removed it and no more CTDs.

My apologies, I did omit that info...I'll add it to my OP right now.

as for the hud, depending on your resolution you can grab some presets made by others.
I use Vis-G Sorting along side Def_UI with a 16:9 preset

Hi,

Check if you have any mods which could conflict with Def_HUD like Hud Framework (never had issues with it myself), Key Nuker (already included with Def_UI) or anything else. Uninstall them and see if it solves the issue.

Or if you're using a mod manager, they make virtual installations (at least NMM the one i'm using does it, don't know about the others). Anyway check these virtual folders.

If you have NMM, launch it :

- click on the arrow next to the folder icon at the top and click on "Open NMM's Mods Folder"
- look for your def_ui folder
- check if in THIS folder and especially in the "DEF_CONF" folder you have a DEF_HUD.xml.

On my end it wasn't there, copying my custom XML from my Data/Interface/DEF_CONF to the virtual folder solved my issue. I hope this will help you or others having that problem.

If not, I have no other ideas for this.
Good luck and I hope it will work.
