Dynamic Mod Menu (2.8)

Abandoned Bad news is that it's abandoned. Good news is that it was superseded by a newer mod menu which utilizes all the new goodies given by Stellaris 3. 0 making this approach obsolete (as was written during the 2. 3 game version). Get the new Dynamic Mod Menu. Please note that this new DMM does not have anything in common with this project, what only happened is that the name was transferred onto the new mod. Load Order Not important. Older Versions For 2. 3 For 2. 4 For 2. 5 For 2. 6 For 2. 7 For which version of the game is this? 2. 8 Menu in action FAQ What's the reasoning behind this? Reasoning is that I wanted a "dynamic" mod GUI but couldn't find one. The only way for modders to create their own mod options menus are: 1. Using edict screen 2. Creating a custom button by overwriting a .gui file 3. Using Mod Menu mod The only rather "dynamic" approach is using the edict screen.

This mod menu exposes 100 "slots" for other mods to "inject" as a button into this mod. Developers get to pick one unique Id (list will be kept somewhere which mods use which Id) and then: 1. Overwrite localization files related to this unique mod Id 2. Overwrite events related to this unique mod Id 3. Set a global flag related to this unique Id (comes via generated code) 4. Create own mod icon for the mod menu by overwriting a GFX resource related to this unique Id Only 100 slots? Don't worry the code is auto generated (via script). If the limit is ever hit we can create more ids obviously. What's the advantage of this approach? - Mod developers don't have to message back and forth (Mod Menu maintainer and XYZ mod developer) - Create compatibility patches for cust
