Hi folks. I've been looking into a few different games which might allow me to write mods which will let me dynamically modify the interface. I've had a browse through the JS API, and it looks like the only flexibility in terms of interface stuff is creating and removing reticule buttons (in tutorial mode). Is this correct? I was hoping I might get some deeper access, to significantly change the appearance of things. Is this beyond the intended scope of the provided API?
Cheers

Re: Modifying interface elements
The interface itself is horrible and needs rework (scalability, at least). I don't think significantly changing appearance of things will be available before that. On the other hand, you can recolor buttons and probably change some names by substituting data files. But not dynamically.

Okay, that's about what I suspected. Might not be suitable for my purposes. Thanks for the feedback though

Re: Modifying interface elements
With JS, you can also toggle the minimap.
