Yes but knowing how everything is supposed to interact underneath those python scripts would give me a better idea of how to do things.

Those UI modders who knew the old menu1024x768.ini file inside out and how to make things work in previous versions probably have it alot easier. As all they need to know now is how to interact with that stuff from the scripts.

Well found, keep digging

Why the hell did they ditch this, this is awesome! Enable all ditched things and make a new UI mod out of it.

Use notepad or, better still, notepad 2.

Here is a shot form the earlier UI including the button bar and some other things that seem to have been canned. Note the telegraph handle and compass ring.

IIRC that's what they called 'adversial mode' when I was looking through the files.

Heading indicator? It's fully functional btw. Why did they disable that?

In the same file.. search for:
PageDefaultHud_Feedback_BottomBar_Heading.Visible = False

and change it to True

I might try to position it better, but i suck at the menu editor.

How about something like this?

Havent yet figured out how to make heading digits to work. And to be completely honest, this scripting stuff is a little over my little head but that just means that i have to take a better look into it

That sounds like they intended playable escorts at some stage, as in SH4 maybe we'll see them reappear in a future addon.

Thanks for all your brilliant work on the UI by the way, I think Ubisoft owe you a debt of gratitude.

i do think they were going to do something with playable escorts (or just something with escorts) because I see escorts from time to time in the files.

Great work Gutted

However I changed the lines you pointed out and saved the changes. All were there when I returned to a saved game, but having saved again and re started the mission they were no longer there.It would appear that saving the mission returns it to the default settings. Has anyone else found this?
What can I do if anything other than copying the page default Hud file and re applying
