Hey all,
I graduated from keyboard to controller a few years ago and I've got this weird control scheme that I use with Steam Input to be able to use all of the hotbar actions with various button combinations. I've always wanted a HUD mod that modifies the layout of the bottom hotbar so it matches the layout I'm using, where the 1-4 and 7-0 actions are mapped to face buttons, and 5 and 6 are mapped to the control sticks. I'm just getting started looking into whether my desired HUD modification is even possible.
I want to mod the hotbar such that it looks something like this (crudely-drawn) graphic, with top half showing the "before" and the bottom showing the "after". Basically, I'm just trying to make 1-4 and 7-0 have the same layout as the main palette:
Following MagicLuthee's "Basic Guide on How to Modify PSOBB HUD Textures," I saw the hotbar action texture in f256-hyouji.prs, and I assumed this is what I would need to modify:
That said, I know that the PB gauge position can't be modified since the game draws it separately from the textures. Just looking at this, I'm guessing the hotbar suffers from the same issue; the single hotbar icon just gets repeated across the bottom of the screen at pre-defined x,y coordinates and their positions can't actually be changed at all.
But I wanted to reach out to the community to be sure. Does anyone know a method to make something like the HUD layout in the top graphic possible?
