People are having trouble modding the UI with the tools they were given.

Regardless, you don't have to be a professional UI designer to recognize the UI sucks especially when it comes to something like skill bars which are better done and/or more customizable in many other games.


If you follow the thread you link they specifically say the issue is the underlying coding, that the engine doesn't have a function to display the information that the modded wants.

This means to do so, the modder will need to add (or rather extend) the engine to meet his/her requirements.

I just hope you guys realize reworking an engine isn't a one or two day thing. Depending on how certain objects are implemented, it maybe as easy as changing a parameter or scrapping and rebuilding entire modules.

Some of the requests I see in this thread border on ridiculousness. When you start a project in programming, it's a painful balance between meeting user requirements in the time and budget restraint given and preventing scope creep.
