On this page I will describe how to replace a vanilla menu with your own. For example I will change the traderestrictionsmenu

At first you should create the following things in your mod folder:

  1. ui.xml
  2. ego_detailmonitorHelper.xml
  3. A Folder which is named ui

Now copy the traderestrictions.lua in your folder ui and rename it. For example in my case I named it FC_traderestrictions.lua.

Now we begin with the modding. We create the ui.xml and the ego_detailmonitor.xml

The following code is for the ui.xml:

Code Block
<addon name="FC_Traderestriction">
  <environment type="detailmonitor">
    <file name="ui/FC_menu_traderestrictions/FC_menu_traderestrictions.lua" />
    <dependency name="ego_detailmonitorHelper" />
  </environment>
</addon>

 

meanings:

  1. environment type="detailmonitor" = That's the environment/type of monitor you are working with.
  2. file name="ui/FC_menu_traderestrictions/FC_menu_traderestrictions.lua" = Thats the path of your lua file
  3. dependency name="ego_detailmonitorHelper"= Thats the line for the depency. In my example i use the DetailmonitorHelper
  4. addon name="FC_Traderestriction" = This specifies the name of the addon.

The following code is for the detailmonitorHelper.xml:

 

Code Block
<addon name="ego_detailmonitorHelper" viewtype="detailmonitor">
  <file name="ui/FC_menu_traderestrictions/FC_menu_traderestrictions.lua" />
</addon>

 

The following Codelines are to delete the old menu:

 

Code Block
languagelua
local FC_menu = {}
local Funcs = {}
local function init()
   for _, menu in ipairs(Menus) do
    if menu.name == "TradeRestrictionsMenu" then -- Hier steht das Menu das ihr ersetzen möchtet /Here the name of the menu you want to replace
      FC_menu = menu
      menu.cleanup = Funcs.FC_cleanup -- Neue Definitionen für euer Menü/ New definitions for your own menu
     menu.buttonTradeRestriction = Funcs.FC_buttonTradeRestriction
     menu.buttonWareRestriction = Funcs.FC_buttonWareRestriction
     menu.buttonRestriction = Funcs.FC_buttonRestriction
     menu.onShowMenu = Funcs.FC_onShowMenu
     menu.showMenu = Funcs.FC_showMenu
     menu.onUpdate = Funcs.FC_onUpdate
     menu.onRowChanged = Funcs.FC_onRowChanged
     menu.onSelectElement = Funcs.FC_onSelectElement
     menu.onCloseElement = Funcs.FC_onCloseElement
      break
    end
  end
end

 

 

After deleting the old menu you can add your own code after that. For examples please write a PN to me  FindolCaleb at the Egosoft Forum ( because the maincode is too long for this page)
