DarkUI'd DarN 1.6
By Gothic251

********************************************************************************

ALRIGHT!!!! I DID IT!!!!!!!

Here you go guys, I know how much you all ask DarN and Darkbirdy and god knows who else if there's a DarkUI version of DarNified UI. I worked my butt off (200 plus hours) changing the colors, fixing small bugs, and generally making a perfect DarkUI-ified DarNified UI. I've changed the colors of certain things in certain places that differ from the normal DarkUI, simply because the changes of DarNified UI called for this. For instance, when choosing a dialog option, the person's name is now whiter than the dialog choices, so as to make it easier to discern between the person's name and the options.

I also worked out a lot of niggles and bugs, such as when you are over encumbered, now in the inventory, like in the container, only the current encumbrance is red, not the max and the current and the slash.

I have tested this pretty extensively myself, but if any bugs or things arise, or if any colors look off, tell me, and I'll look into it.

I hope you guys like it,

This package includes the whole of DarNified UI version 1.3.2, and all of DarkUI version 2.40. It also contains Darkbirdy's DarkUI Loading Screens, and the Shivering Isles DarkUI Loading Screens by HTF. It also includes a DarkUI-ified Main Menu Video and Map-Scroll Video by Fritzdog. This also fixes tiling issues with the textures in the map and inventory screens, as thanks to the amazing work of Brumbek and Belinda.
You may want to back up your Video folder first, in case you don't like Fritzdog's replacements.

Notice: These videos, due to space restrictions, are only in the manual version. If you want these DarkUI'd default videos, download the manual version and move the files in the video folder, or download them here
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11086

If you are upgrading from a previous installation, please uninstall the old version before installing 1.6, as several files have been moved, and failure to delete them first will result in meaningless multiple files.

********************************************************************************

MANUAL INSTALLATION

First, if you have installed a previous version, uninstall the old version first. For uninstallation instructions, refer to lower down the readme. This will ensure a bug-free clean install of 1.6

1. Extract "Fonts", "Menus", "Meshes", "Textures" and "Video" folders to the Data folder.


2. The method for DarNified Books has changed with DarNifiedUI 1.3.2. With the release of Grimbots Shivering Book Jackets, the amount of esps needed to accommodate everyone would have tripled. Now it is handled through Wrye Bash. In Wrye Bash version 1.54 and higher, there is an optional tweak option to DarNify all your books. For a tutorial on how to do this, go to this post on DarN's forums.
http://darnified.net/forums/index.php?topic=50.0


3. Edit "My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Oblivion.ini" to use the new fonts.

Choose between the two font sizes (Large is just SLIGHTLY larger)

Normal fonts:
[Fonts]
SFontFile_1=Data\Fonts\Kingthings_Regular.fnt
SFontFile_2=Data\Fonts\DarN_Kingthings_Petrock_14.fnt
SFontFile_3=Data\Fonts\DarN_Kingthings_Petrock_16.fnt
SFontFile_4=Data\Fonts\DarN_Oblivion_28.fnt
SFontFile_5=Data\Fonts\Handwritten.fnt

Large fonts:
[Fonts]
SFontFile_1=Data\Fonts\Kingthings_Regular.fnt
SFontFile_2=Data\Fonts\DarN_LG_Kingthings_Petrock_14.fnt
SFontFile_3=Data\Fonts\DarN_LG_Kingthings_Petrock_18.fnt
SFontFile_4=Data\Fonts\DarN_Oblivion_28.fnt
SFontFile_5=Data\Fonts\Handwritten.fnt

Notice there is a new font 4, which is a VASTLY improved Daedric font. This Daedric font variation also adds the letter "X" to the Daedric alphabet, as previously it has never existed.

(New Optional Step)
Copy desired custom Font 1 (used in default books, main menu, and inventory page 1 and 2) to Data\Fonts and change

SFontFile_1=Data\Fonts\Kingthings_Regular.fnt
to
SFontFile_1=Data\Fonts\xxxx.fnt

Placing the name of your font (EXACT NAME) in place of the x's.


4. Install any optional menus or the loading screens by dragging and dropping folders into the Data folder. Only use the DarkUI'd Loading Screens if you AREN'T using "Atmospheric Loading Screens" by Galahaut or "Loading Screens Themed Replacer" by Trollf.


(New Optional Step)
If you are using any other Loading Screen Replacer other than the default loading screens, I have included a DarNified version for it included in Optional Menus\Alternate Loading Screen xml's folder. Simply copy the appropriate version into your Menus folder.


5. If you want to restore the classic menu format, simply drag and drop all files within Optional Menus\Classic Inventory to your Data folder. Let it be known that wz_Inventory is now even closer looking to the classic menu format, and to instantiate the wz_ abilities of it, one must click the icon in the top left hand corner of the inventory. To make it stay as wz_ formatting, simply edit Menus\Prefabs\darn\inventory_config.xml.


6. If you want full color local maps (first map page, not second) (They really look AMAZING) open the Oblivion.ini and do a search for "blocalmapshader". If it has a 1, change it to 0. It really looks cool full-colored.

********************************************************************************

OMOD INSTALLATION

To use the OMOD, you MUST have OBMM v1.1.12 and 'Allow additional script types' must be set in OBMM settings.

Before you install DarkUI'd DarN via OMOD, make sure you uninstall any previous versions.

1. Extract the OMOD file to "(Oblivion install folder)\obmm\mods\"

2. Start Oblivion Mod Manager.

3. Make sure the square by the mod name is green/tan. If it is red, uninstall the previously installed version.

4. Double-click the mod in the right-hand side of the OBMM screen.

5. Type your name into the box (look at the credits for a surprise!), then click "Install Everything". Only use the partial installation if you COMPLETELY understand what you're doing.

6. When the list of options comes up, conrtol-click each option you want installed. On the next screen, choose either Normal or Large fonts.

7. Click "Yes" on each box that comes up to allow the OMOD to edit the ini file with the new font information.

8. After the installation is complete, the box next to the mod should turn blue.

9. DarNify Books in Wrye Bash if you so desire. A tutorial on how to do this can be found on this post on DarNs forums

********************************************************************************

USAGE

Since this version is so vastly improved over all previous version of DarNified/DarkUI'd DarN, explanations of its new functions must be made.

First, we'll start with the map menu. On the world map, You will notice a small symbol in the bottom right hand corner. Click this to bring up the map configuration tab. Using this tab, you can toggle any combination of markers from the map. You can also disable the player icon, quest markers, and so forth, increasing immersion and modularity to infinite highs. However, these settings will be lost when you quit the game, so if you wish to permanently change how the map menu works, configure "map_config.xml" in Data\Menus\Prefabs\darn.

Second, the stats menu. The original tab one and tab two have been combined into tab one, to show more info at once. Along with this, a mock "Major-Jims" ability has been added. The amount a stat is being modified will be shown next to the stat and the modified total of the stat will be shown next to the stat modifier. The same has been done to tab 2, which used to be tab 3.

The now empty tab five of the stats page has been turned into a configuration page. You can literally change EVERYTHING about the Hud, leading to infinite immersion. You can even imitate Immersive Interface with enough configuring. This will prove Immersive Interface obsolete, as with a few configurations, you have a custom Immersive Interface built into your installation of DarNifiedUI\DarkUI'd DarN. Again, like the map menu, these settings are lost upon quitting the game, and so you must configure "hudmainmenu_config.xml" in Data\Menus\Prefabs\darn. However, this configuring is made simple, as for each different configuration, the setting which you must change is told to you in the description for the setting ingame. So once you've got the Hud looking as you want to, simply take a screenshot or write down your settings, change the necessary xml settings, and voila, your own customized DarNifiedUI\DarkUI'd DarN Hud.

There is also an option to have the font at the start up screen (continue, new...) have the Daedric font, and upon mouseover, turn to the normal font. If you wish to have this, simply change the variable _daedric>&false; in the file Data\Menus\Prefabs\darn\system_config.xml to _daedric>&true;.

********************************************************************************

UNINSTALLATION

1. Delete ALL files associated with this mod.
This can be done rather easily by simply deleting the following folders
Data\Fonts
Data\Menus
Data\Meshes\Menus\Darn
Data\Textures\DarkUI
Data\Textures\Menus\Darn
Data\Textures\Menus\Stats
Data\Textures\Menus50\Stats
Data\Textures\Menus80\Stats


2. Edit your Oblivion.ini to the original font setup:

[Fonts]
SFontFile_1=Data\Fonts\Kingthings_Regular.fnt
SFontFile_2=Data\Fonts\Kingthings_Shadowed.fnt
SFontFile_3=Data\Fonts\Tahoma_Bold_Small.fnt
SFontFile_4=Data\Fonts\Daedric_Font.fnt
SFontFile_5=Data\Fonts\Handwritten.fnt

********************************************************************************

KNOWN ISSUES OR BUGS

- When you reach top rank in a faction, the next rank label will read 'DUMMY'.

The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, as made by Quarn and Kivan, now fixes this.
If you are not already using it, download the latest version of it. This mod fixes THOUSANDS of errors in Oblivion. Textures, Meshes, Sounds, Placement errors, Text errors, Havok errors; the list goes on. However, while it does fix the Faction Rank bug, it will not fix it for KOTN or SI. For the KOTN factions, download the latest version of the Unofficial Oblivion Mods Patch. For the SI faction, download the latest version of the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.

FAQ

Q: Why is my hud cut off at the bottom?
A: Make sure the iSafeZone* values in the Oblivion.ini are set to the default (20).

Q: My browser gives me some rubbish error message when I open the xml files!
A: Open them with a normal text editor. Do not use Word or anything that inserts formatting codes.

Q: What is that brown bar below my weapon?
A: That's the durability bar. It shows the health of your currently equipped weapon.

Q: My durability bar doesn't go all the way up. Why?
A: It has a notch @ 100%. Once you reach expert level in armorer, you will be able to fill it up completely (125%).

Q: My loot menu lags. Why?
A: That's there in default Oblivion. It's called loot lag, and there's (basically) no way to fix it.

Q: My resolution is 1024 and...
A: Anything below 1024x768 will look bad, and you won't be able to read text. Use something other than DarNified UI /DarkUI'd DarN.

Q: I'm making some adjustments to some settings and nothing happens, WTF?
A: The settings you're adjusting are probably overridden. This will change in the future, as per the work of the brilliant DarN.

Q: I'm editing the Oblivion.ini and nothing changes, WTF?
A: Make sure you're editing the right one (My Documents/My Games/Oblivion/Oblivion.ini). Don't EVER mess with the Oblivion_default.ini in your Oblivion folder.

Q: So my text shows up messed up/large/not showing up... what's up?
A: Did you edit your Oblivion.ini? I bet you didn't. Seriously, if you're not going to read the readme, I don't know why you're using mods. READ THE README!!!!! (Well, you kinda are now. You get my point. :P )

Q: The installer tells me the Palatino font doesn't support the "Regular" style. What gives?
A: It shouldn't do this anymore, but if it does, post, and we'll look into it.
