SkyUI Question

[Inte]

Is there any way to grab the SkyUI version number in script?

 

I've looked around somewhat, but I couldn't find anything.

Crap, never mind.
I found it here.

This topic looks like it's about exactly your problem.

 

Edit: Looks like you were a bit faster than me xD

Arg. I was going to post a possible solution...

But both of you posted my finding. I am getting old... 

Just an example script I am using now:

 

 

ski_main skyUI = Game.getFormFromFile(0x814, "SkyUI.esp") as Ski_main
int skyUIMaj = StringUtil.GetNthChar(skyUI.ReqSWFVersion, 0) as Int
if skyUIMaj<5
 ; Less than version 5
else
 ; at least version 5
endIf

@CPU, thanks for the reply.

It seems that ReqSWFVersion is 0, always. I am using SkyUI 5.1, perhaps it has been changed for this version?

Here is what I have so far.

 

The script extending ... well script.

ScriptName iDDeSkyUiMain Extends SKI_QuestBase

STRING Property ReqSWFVersion Auto Hidden

My function

Function CheckSkyVersion()
	String sVersion
	If (iDDeUtil.iDDeGotMod("CheckSkiVersion()", "SkyUI.esp"))
		iDDeSkyUiMain SkyUI = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x814, "SkyUI.esp") AS iDDeSkyUiMain
		iSkyVersion = StringUtil.GetNthChar(SkyUI.ReqSWFVersion,0) AS INT
		sVersion = SkyUI.ReqSWFVersion
	Else
		iSkyVersion = -1
	EndIf
	
		If (iSkyVersion < 5)
			Debug.MessageBox("Devious Devices - Equip:\nSkyUI is too old, or could not be found.\nAt least v5.10 is needed. " +sVersion)
		EndIf
EndFunction

Can I ask you what is: "iDDeSkyUiMain"?

It is not a file from SkyUI.

 

The correct file name has to be ski_main.psc

 

Be aware that if the name is different then you are just creating a new script and NOT referencing the correct SkyUI script instance.

I thought that the child script can be any name, as long as the parent has the correct name, no?
 
Child script - "any script name" I chose "iDDeSkyUiMain"
Parent script - "SKI_QuestBase" - the SkyUI mod script that is to be extended.
