Simple UI

All mods should work with v1.xx of the game.

All mods are EAC friendly and can be installed server side only.

Everything in these mods is completely free use and anyone is welcome to do anything they wish with them.

WARNING:
You should uninstall any older Simple UI mods that were meant for an Alpha version of the game to avoid any conflicts.
All of the mods have been renamed and some function differently.

Simple UI (RW_SimpleUI)

By default this mod adds food and water bars to the left hud. Removes the food and water bars under the toolbelt. Moves the xp bar under the toolbelt and makes it bigger. Replaces the vanilla buff panel in the left hud with a simple one that can display up to thirty buffs. And displays toolbelt keys with backgrounds above each toolbelt slot. The toolbelt keys will display correctly no matter what hot key you set them to.

However this mod also contains seven different hud layouts and three buff panel choices per hud layout. For more on switching which hud layout you are using just check out the Simple UI HUD Switcher info below.

And for those that feel a little more adventurous there is a Simple UI Color Changer mod as well that is a template for making themes to recolor several of the elements Simple UI adds. A vanilla theme is also included as an example and for anyone who might want the faded-out vanilla colors back on their HUD stat bars.

There is also some Blocker mods for blocking Simple UI from using it’s left hud or toolbelt just in case you wanted one part of the mod but not the other.

There is a ToolBelt Keys Remover for those that don’t want the ToolBelt Keys displayed above their toolbelt.

Not to mention a few add-ons listed below as well.

For Help With Modding Simple UI Yourself

Head over to the Unofficial Modding Discord post here on the Official 7 Days To Die forums.
Use the link in that post to join the unofficial modding discord.
Once the modding Discord is joined and all channels are visible, just look for the #revs-simple-stuffs channel, where questions on modding the mod can be answered.
You can switch the HUD layouts in Simple UI without the HUD switcher but it requires copy pasting some files from within the RWSUI_xuiConfigs folder inside Simple UI.
You can also make your own basic custom stat bars and such pretty easy using simple ui without affecting the core mod itself but would require tinkering with the xmls yourself.
The configs in the RWSUI_xuiConfigs/_DEFAULT folder is what should be edited (i.e. BuffPanel.xml, leftHud.xml, ToolBelt.xml) and then don’t use hud switcher.
The default configs are just copies from the other folders in RWSUI_xuiConfigs so long as you make edits to those copies you can always replace them with new copies and not affect the core mod or hud switcher from working.

Screenshots

All Screenshots were taken with the background opacity set at 95% using the in game settings.
Everything added will respect the background opacity setting aside from the radial hud bars which will never be transparent.

Changelog

Simple UI v4.0.1 Update

Small patch to correct case sensitivity on a couple of the left hud file names.
This will make the vertical and radial huds work correctly on an OS that requires it.

If running this mod on windows only no need to worry about updating yet.

Big thanks to Zephinos for helping troubleshoot this issue.
