=== Installation ===
Copy all *.lua, *.str2_pc, *.asm_pc, and *.le_strings files in the "mod" folder to SRIV's directory. (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Saints Row IV)

Then, copy and overwrite patch_compressed.vpp_pc to SRIV's cache directory. (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Saints Row IV\packfiles\pc\cache)

This mod modifies the following asm_pc files which makes it incompatible by default with most mods.
* patch_vint_doc_containers.asm_pc
* vint_doc_containers.asm_pc
To make this mod usable with other mods, you need to update the asm_pc files after installing this mod.

Download "Minimaul's Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third, Saints Row IV and Gat Out Of Hell tools", launch "ThomasJepp.SaintsRow.Stream2Update.exe", and follow the onscreen instructions.

Please note, this mod does NOT modify "stream_grid.asm_pc". All modified mission scripts are loaded from "patch_compressed.vpp_pc".

I've encountered a rather unfortunate limitation: the HUD script (hud.lua in hud.str2_pc) has some sort of file size limitation, and if this limit is exceeded the game fails to load the HUD.
Everything, even comments, counts toward this limit. I will try to workaround this by stripping comments, but I might soon hit the ceiling...

EDIT: The absolute limit of hud.lua is 139,012 bytes. Vanilla's hud.lua is 133,282 bytes, 95.88% of the budget is already used and 5,730 bytes are remaining for additional usage. SuperUI for SRIV v0.1 ALPHA's current hud.lua has 138,019 bytes, 99.29% is already used and only 993 bytes are remaining for any usage.
hud.lua has large amount of commented-out codes and developer's comments so I can remove them to free up some space.

Good Luck!

EDIT:
SuperUI for SRIV v0.3 ALPHA released. You can now disable forced mission outfits by editing game_lib.lua and setting "SUI_OUTFIT" to false.
sriv_superui_no_forced_outfit.png


I've also added "SUI_EASY_GENERATOR" flag which will make all shield generators in missions go down quickly. (It doesn't affect freeroam generators though)

SuperUI for SRIV v0.6 released. The "Gateway" mission is renamed to more appropriate "Toolbox".
Open World Side Quests are moved to Completed Quests screen. Don't worry, you can still start the "replay" of them so you can still listen to phonecalls.
