Hey Hendrix, have you resolved these problems yet? (I'm using the EA exe) ![]() ![]() Edited by Narukota, Jan 21 2016, 09:24 PM.

Nope, no solution for that is known yet. It seems like the locations of these fields are hard-coded in the exe, because changing these in the UI files didn't fix it last time I tried. |

Got it! Turns out the stars locations are implemented in ui\fx\cameraobject.xml.
I think only the z axis should be edited and moved to the left.
I tweaked it a bit and got this: ![]() The others, such as the UI locations, should be in one of the xmls in ui\fx and some are also in the cameraobject.xml too. Edited by Narukota, Jan 22 2016, 03:00 AM.

Hey great job man! I had found a value for the box in the shell or something and it seems like it was only a dummy placeholder... lol |

So what does one need to change to fix the star? The position? and by how much? |

Only the Z axis position should be changed.
Greater values means it goes to the left, less values means it goes right. so I changed the values by 1.0. (result in the picture above)
However, it's not in the exact position, so the values should be a few hundredth of a decimal less. Now that we know how to change the star position, I'm gonna look for the UI positions and I'll post it here. @Hendrix Will you changing the values and releasing it? Or do you want me to do it?

I guess I'll add it to my file so it all stays in one place, if you don't mind? Have you also found the 3D icon and infobox positions? I'm sure the exact ratio could be calculated with the camera aspect ratio.

Yeah, of course. It's better with you doing it. ![]() I haven't found the icon/infobox positions, but I'm looking for it. I'll post it here when I find it. Edited by Narukota, Jan 22 2016, 04:50 PM.

*excuse the double post* Found it! It's ui/layout/buyinfo.xml It has both the 3d icon positions and the UI infobox position.
Not sure which one to edit, though. I'll leave it up to you.

Got the stars and preview pretty much perfect now. The entityinfo does not cooperate yet...It seems like modifying entityinfo.xml does not change the location of the 3d icon, only the background, so it must be set somewhere else. Updated the file in my google drive with my current version without any shell or entityinfo edits Edited by HENDRIX, Jan 22 2016, 07:10 PM.

Maybe I did something wrong, feel free to experiment. When I moved the whole entityinfo thing, the icon remained where it was. I also edited the individual parts where it says draw3D to no avail. The icon remains where it shouldn't be... Maybe that also comes from the cameraobject xml? the arms stuff?

I was thinking that too. I'll play around with it for a bit and tell you if I find anything.

*please excuse yet another double post* Yup, the 3d icon is controlled by the arm/wrist/fist positions in the cameraobject.xml. It's the first group,
Edit the Z axis to around 8.0 and we're good to go. Edited by Narukota, Jan 22 2016, 08:02 PM.
