Need any help about creating UI widgets

[TRX_Trixter]

Hi, people.

 

I need any help (links, tutorials, videos etc...) about how to create my own widgets for Skyrim UI interface  (I mean like widgets for iNeeeds and etc) to show on screen some current values state (like health / stamina / magica in vanilla game), active buffs / debuffs ...

 

I will be appreceate for any help with this.

Well the UI is basically a Flash component, hence the swf files. I've tried my hand at actionscript many times, but its up there among some of the most illogical languages I've had to use. Its probably just different, but my point is, even if you have a programming background there's going to be a learning curve. Knowing Adobe, the official IDE/SDK for this is not going to be free. Perhaps, considering how old Flash is, there's free alternatives.

 

Edit: Depending on how capable the IDE is that you end up using, you may need JPEXS-Decompiler. It may also be useful for seeing how the current UI widgets were made, in case th Skyrim API is not documented. I have a copy of it archived here, if its difficult/impossible to find.

Macromedia.

 

It's an older code, sir, but it checks out.
