Container UI Tweak 2016-07-23

Move the inventory and container windows so they don't obscure the area near the player

  1. Lunchghost
    ** THIS IS THE NON-STEAM WORKSHOP VERSION OF THE MOD FOUND HERE: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=729524482 **

    When interacting with containers, move the inventory and container windows so they don't obscure the area near the player.

    --

    "But you can already do this?"

    Yes, you can move the windows manually--but they reset every time you interact with a container or merchant.

    Customization Instructions
    (You are basically creating this mod for yourself)

    1. Uninstall/unsubscribe from this mod.

    2. Navigate to the Starbound mods directory: /path/to/Starbound/mods

    3. Create a new folder called myuitweak

    4. In that new folder, create two new files called _metadata and interface.config.patch

    5. Contents of _metadata:
    {
    "author" : "Kluex2016",
    "dependencies" : [],
    "description" : "A perfectly tuned Container UI Tweak",
    "friendlyName" : "My UI Tweak",

    "name" : "MyUITweak",
    "version" : "1.0"
    }

    6. Contents of interface.config.patch:
    [
    {
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/displayCenteredWindowGap",
    "value": 160
    }
    ]

    7. Change the line in interface.config.patch starting with "value": to any number you like (the default is 4; this mod sets it to 160; very large values may cause issues)

    8. Launch Starbound and make sure your mod appears in the mods list.

    Hey, I give it a 4/5 just because it doesn't work anymore. But the idea is great!

    Here's how i maked it worked :
    - unpack the file
    - open "interface.config.patch" with Notepad++
    - replace "/displayCenteredWindowGap" into "/bringAdjacentWindowGap"
    - put the value you want.

    There is a subtlety, you have to place the character window once on the left, and for the rest of your game session it will remain in place with the amount of space chosen for you to see your character.

    A mod that allows you to have your inventory separated from the window of the containers you open. Excellent, you save the running of those windows every time.
