the number of people trying to distribute half-working copies of SkyUI is getting seriously frustrating
Why do you attract all the numbnuts who can't understand permissions? XD

snakster
it was to be expected

Thallassa
Anyways, do you have any plans to port it to SSE yourself? You said before it mostly works (minus all the important SKSE parts)

snakster
i think i mentioned before that the swfs itself somewhat work

Thallassa
Yeah
It seems what people have landed on is using the files from 2.2 and making a script change so it doesn't throw an error about the skyrim version.
In fact someone mentioned making a tutorial explaining how to do just that in lieu of distributing the files

snakster
yup. maybe i'll upload a proper 2.2 at some point, might be as good as it ever gets

Thallassa
hah :smile:
I think people would be very grateful if you could do that. On xbox as well if you're up for it.

snakster
did 2.2 have the magic menu?
actually, let me read the changelog...

Thallassa
:shrug:

snakster
hm
for the magic menu the 3d icon should be on the wrong side of the screen without skse
which is rather bad
what you would have to do for an a proper 2.2 port is basically:
- decompile the swfs from the special edition, compare them against the original 2.2 files (or the skyui files) just to confirm that there is nothing fundamentally wrong
- check which version of flash they are using (not strictly necessary, but i prefer to use the same versions as the orginal game to be sure that there are no hidden issues)
- package stuff as a .bsa and create an esp for it. loose files are trouble later on
but even that is already a lot to ask... all people are willing to help with is usually "hey, let me re-upload that for you"

Thallassa
lol

snakster
and maybe change a 1 to a 0 somewhere

Thallassa
I'm guessing even that little is more than you have time to do?

snakster
yep. time and motivation

Thallassa
If someone does do that they should not distribute the resulting mod, they should send it to you for upload?

snakster
correct

Thallassa
just making sure

snakster
basically the part of checking that its correct

Thallassa
had one person argue you saying "I'm not against it being ported" meant - it's ok for anyone to upload the files :stuck_out_tongue:

snakster
already goes a long way

Thallassa
Yeah, but that's also the hard part. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't know what I was looking at myself XD

snakster
the rest is something i might just do myself then

snakster
anyway, time for some HotS :)
