E3 UI and HUD

Hello, E3 fanatical friends.

It's been a long journey, we've laughed a lot, created new memes, and lost a lot of mental balance, trying to present you with the hud you've always dreamed of. What are you waiting for? Go in the arms of all this E3 splendor! We hope you enjoy yourself as much as we do, if not more!

The aim of this fashion is to bring back the old Hud & Ui featured in the famous gameplay demo with E3 2014. It was created by the team mainly from scratch, while some assets are leftovers of files or from an assembly prior to 1.22.

Features:

each menu is redesigned in E3 style

animated background for every menu except Inventory and Bestiary

hud in e3 style

original xbox box button icons with e3 2014

maps and minicards in (you already guessed it) E3 style

new font

new regional boot screens

new regional boot screens for each pointer in black and white or color

integrated live Bestiary

Moster Tracker. Shows the corresponding monster if the Monster Hunt quest is active. Otherwise shows a monster with a current buff.

A few tips:

If you are not a big fan, for example, cards, mod comes with a mod menu where some features can be switched.

The options are:

animated background (y/n)

E3 (y/n) cards

E3 minimaps (y/n)

living bestiary (y/n)

Boot screens (color/black and white)

You may have realized that the legend is missing from the map menu, and now you don't know how to find the next brothel. But don't worry. Legend can be turned on or off using "f" (keyboard), "RT" (xBox), or "R2" (PS).

And no, the question marks are not missing. They just make the map a little cluttered, so we set up a standard filter on "gerenal".

You may also have noticed that the monster does not have a level indicator, regardless of whether scaling is turned on or off. It's a deliberate design decision. There was no level indicator on E3, and we, as loyal e3 fanatics, kept it. We suggest simply playing with the opponent's scaling enabled, as this is (in our opinion) the most preferred way of playing anyway. However, there is a way to roughly determine that the enemy is too high-level for you: if the enemy's name is red, it means that they are much higher than you and you should probably run out of battle. If the name E3 is brown, safely destroy it.

The number of potion slots was reduced to 2 to replicate what was shown in the E3 demo. However, you still have access to 4 quickslots as you can see in the inventory. In fact, we've moved the gamepad's quickslots to M&Kb. If you hold an F/R, you can swap the currently displayed potion for another hidden one. Basically slot 1 -3, slot 2 -4.

Boot screens in the regions are a purely aesthetic effect, as the game instantly teleports you. We have made them stay for 5 seconds so you can look at the map where you are going and/or read the hint. If you're done earlier, you can exit the boot screen by pressing the "esc" (keyboard), "B" (xBox), "circle" (PS) keys.

If you are playing in a language other than English, Italian, Polish, Russian, German, Portuguese or Hungarian, some text fragments may be missing/misunderstood/misunderstood. This is because no string file exists for your language yet. Translation files are uploaded as an additional file with instructions for creating your own.

If you are playing with a controller, please exit the menu as an ordinary person ("B"/"circle"). If you exit the game using the Start button, you may encounter errors.

Installation:

Simply put the contents of the downloaded rar into the main Witcher 3 directory (not the one in the documents)

add the contents of the input.txt file to the bottom of the user/documents/the witcher 3/input.settings folder

If you have Unification Patch installed, be sure to also install "unification patch-compatible scripts" as additional files.

Also: If you are using a Bootstrap mod, rename it to modxBoostrap (or in any other way to make it below modE3Hud).

PS: If you are looking for compatibility with other mods (e.g. Friendly Hud), there is a forum section (the forum of this page) where successful merges are published.
