UI Tools

[NeptuneSky]

This thread is for the UI Tools mod, a dependency you can use for your mods to make implementing a lot of quality-of-life features much easier.

This mod was made entirely by Cucumber Space, all credit goes to him for the hard work he put in to make such a useful tool for mod creators. He just asked me to make the forum thread.

Click here for a direct download of the latest version of UI Tools:
GitHub - UI Tools Latest Release

Latest Supported Game Version: 1.5.9.8

Latest Release: v1.1.3

So, what does it do?

As stated above, this mod acts as a dependency for mods to lessen the work needed to implement several nice-to-have features, to give the user a better experience and to make certain tasks easier for modders. These currently include:

• Automatically generating a configuration menu for mods.
• Allowing your mod to auto-update.
• Registering windows for permanent position saving.
• Easily registering events when windows are dragged and dropped.

There are also some custom UI elements you won't find in the base game:

• A window that comes with a minimize button
• A number input, with arrow keys that changes the value by an amount you specify.

To use the mod as a dependency, add the DLL as a reference in your project. Documentation can be found here.

To install the mod, download the latest DLL from releases then drag and drop it into your mods folder.

Source code can be found here: GitHub - cucumber-sp/UITools

There's nothing to screenshot really, it's only used as a dependency for other mods.

I believe the PartEditor mod uses it, but there isn't much difference from normal mod UI.

basically other mods that you download will use this to make their downloading and use process easier

It doesn't mean anything if you're just installing it for other mods to work, you do that when making a mod to make use of its functionality.

The mod in itself doesn't do anything. It's a dependency that is required for other mods. Do you try to install another mod with it?

i haven't tried to install a mod with it because it didn't show up in the modloader therefore leading to me thinking it was broken or i did something wrong
