Hud Status bar question

[Jerbsinator]

I got this installed correctly the only thing I can't figure out is my message window has now disappeared. I still get messages in the top left corner but any main game messages (like quests, experience messages, etc) do not show up. Is there a way to make it show again or is that just something that the hud status bars removes altogether?

It seems that I need to have a hud_main_menu that is compatible with DarkUI, Hud Status Bars and Oblivion XP. Hud Status Bars overwrites hud_main_menu.xml which makes Oblivion XPs hud info disappear, but if I don't overwrite it, then nothing really displays correctly. So someones gotta make these compatible and as far as I can tell nothing has been released to fix this yet...which is really surprising. I would do this if I knew scripting but I don't know shit. I looked at it and my mind exploded.

In the mod description, it states that Hud Status Bar is compatible with DarkUI, and should be compatible with Oblivion XP as long as the Oblivion XP HUD elements are added in the Hud Status Bar ini file. Did you do that ?

Also, Hud Status Bar doesn't seems to replace hud_main_menu. Maybe some other mod did overwrite it ?

I'm not using Oblivion XP myself, so I can't help much, I'm afraid.

I *think* the problem may be with OBSE Plugin MenuQue which is a requirement for HUD Status Bars. The changes for the MenuQue v10 beta are:

v10 beta1
	* Alot of internal changes, mostly passive and for future features.
	* A new (and hopefully final) set of UI functions: tile_GetFloat, tile_GetString and tile_SetValue. With much greater and more flexible usage.
	* A function to retrieve all loaded fonts (default and/or extra).
	* Functions for manipulating the text in small TextEdit boxes.
	* Added fix for message duration always being 3 seconds (default duration is configurable).
	* Added fix for the DUMMY text when there are no more ranks (text is now configurable). 
	* Fixed a few possible problems with "menu events" and added a few new ones.

I have HUD Status Bars v4.4.1, MenuQue v9.0a and DarNified UI v1.3.2 installed. When I had MenuQue v7.0 installed I was missing most messages in the top left corner, with MenuQue v9.0a installed the number of missed messages has reduced, but sadly not been fixed completely. Not sure if MenuQue v10 beta will fully fix the problem, but as I said, I *think* this is may be the cause of your missing messages. It's worth noting also that the MenuQue v10 beta does have a few other bugs, check the comments on the page to see details.
