FOR PLAYERS:

- New feature: ChemODun's station selector in the Logical Overview menu and the Transaction Log menu.

Protected UI Mode

=================

I've been playing with Protected UI Mode active with no adverse effects. I recommend that this mode is active and that the pop-up message about disabling it is ignored. Only deactivate this mode if you experience something unexpected.

Unfortunately, because of how this mod is built, disabling or enabling Protected UI Mode WHILE the mod is active will prevent the menus from reloading.

1. Activate/deactivate the mod and then restart the game at the operating system level. E.g. Task Manager, Steam, etc.

2. Activate/deactivate Protected UI Mode BEFORE this mod is activated.

Instructions for players

========================

- Install UI Extensions as normal.

- Leave Protected UI Mode active. Ignore the pop-up message about disabling it.

- When extracting the package from github, ensure that the folder you install the mod to is: "(X4 game)/extensions/kuertee_ui_extensions/". Extracting the package from Nexus Mods will extract it to "(X4 game)/extensions/kuertee_ui_extensions/". But be sure it does anyway.

- Read the "CHANGES BUILT INTO THIS MOD (for players)" section.

Instructions for developers

===========================

An overview on how to mod for UIX:

1. Install the mod as a player.

2. Copy the "(X4 game)/extensions/kuertee_ui_extensions/ui" folder into the "(X4 game)/ui" folder. This will overwrite UIX's XPL files into the game.

3. Launch the game with the "-prefersinglefiles" option. This will make the game use UIX XPL files instead of the base game's corresponding files that are in its cat/dat files.

4. Examine one of the callbacks in any of those XPL files. Search for "callback". Add any callback you need in any of the XPL files IN THE GAME FOLDER. If you need any callbacks added to a menu file that UIX doesn't have let me know (on Discord, Nexus or kuertee@gmail.com).

5. When done adding your callbacks, send me the changed XPL files.

6. I'll merge them with the master UIX files.

7. We'll coordinate release dates so that the new UIX mod with your callbacks is released near the time you release your mod.

For any questions, it's best to @ me on Egosoft's unofficial Discord modding channel: https://discord.gg/RzAGhcY
