Get your hands-off installer here instead:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=10509.1
or do it all manually as per below...
Download the attached "user-appdata-roaming-moi.rar" file first (at the bottom of this message), it also has the
text files for the setup instructions in it, but here they are:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS FOR INSTALLING ON A WINDOWS COMPUTER, I AM RUNNING WIN10...
It assumes that you have a default installation on the C: drive.
This UI works both in version3 and version 4 of Moi
If you don't have WinRar, get a copy at:
https://www.rarlab.com/download.htm , select
"WinRAR x86 (32 bit) 6.02" and install it.
This is the very best archiver out there, I suggest you buy yourself a copy (it's only 29
bucks for lifetime updates), or run the trial only if you don't want to.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS ON YOUR WINDOWS
INSTALLATION. IF NOT, SIGN IN AS A USER WHO DOES.
Don't forget to read the "Death UI Modding.txt" file, it contains info on how to use the Object Library
Script and Extras Folders and more customization hints.
NOW TO INSTALLING:
------------------------------
A) COPY YOUR ORIGINAL MOI DIRECTORY
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Go to your "C:\users\YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME HERE\AppData\" directory.
2. Right-click on the Moi directory, but don't enter it.
3. Select "copy" from the popup menu
4. Right click anywhere in the AppData listing
5. Select "Paste" from the pop-up directory. You have now created a back-up of your
original Moi directory. (In case a mistake happens, you can always restore the original)
6. Check that this is the case, there should be a "Moi - Copy" directory right under your
original Moi directory) If not, try the above
steps again.
B) DELETE CONTENTS OF MOI DIRECTORY, PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS BELOW:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Click the Moi directory (a subfolder of the AppData directory)
2. Pres CTRL-A (that's the "control" key and the "A" key pressed together). This
should highlight all entries in the Moi directory.
3. Deselect your license key(s) by "Control"-clicking (pressing the "Ctrl" key and click).
Your license key looks like "moi_v4_license.key" for example. You might have more
than one license key, one per version you own; if so, Ctrl-click these too. Now
everything BUT your license key files should be selected, press the del (delete) key
and all the files in the directory should be deleted, all but the license key(s).
C) UNRAR THE UI
-------------------------
1. Copy the "Death UI.rar" file to the "C:\users\YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME
HERE\AppData\moi" directory. You should see it and the license files, nothing more.
2. Right click the Death UI.rar file and select "Extract Here" from the pop-up menu.
This extracts your updated Moi directory with everything need.
3. Delete the "Death UI.rar" file, it is not need anymore and just takes up the space here.
4. Edit the moi.ini file. You need to change the entry under "[Commands]" to point to your path. Change the
"AdditionalCommandsDirs=C:\Users\Jack\AppData\Roaming\MoI\extras"
to:
"AdditionalCommandsDirs=C:\Users\YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MoI\extras"
This will enable the EXTRAS scripts within Moi for you.
5.) copy the "Reverse.png" image from the new "C:\Users\YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MoI\ui"
to the:
"C:\Program Files\Moi 4.0\ui" directory
D) Copy the CSS file into the Moi App directory
------------------------------------------------------------
Among the new directories extracted is the "ui" directory. Enter it and right-click the "moi.css" file, and select Copy from the drop down menu. Now go to the C:\Program Files\moi 4.0" directory, right-click in it and select Paste from the drop-down menu, overwriting the moi.css file there. (you might want to first make a backup copy of it in case you want to revert some day).
Well, you're done... (Sort of, read the "Necessary Changes" and the "Death UI Modding" text file next, to make it all your very own.)
E) NECESSARY CHANGES:
--------------------------------------
1. Start Moi, don't worry about the look/size of items, we change that now. Click the
"Options" button (lower right bottom of your screen) and the Options panel will pop up.
Click the "Restore Defaults" Button on the Options Panel.
2. Set the Units system to: "No unit system" from the drop down. You can later make this anything you prefer.
3. Scroll the UI slider to 9.5
4. Click the View Tab.
Click the Background color patch, the windows color selector will pop up, type 48,48,48
into the RED, Green and Blue fields. Click the "Locked Objects use alternate color"
checkbox to set it, if it isn't checked already. Click the color patch next to it and enter
120,120,120 for Red, Green and Blue then click the OK button.
5. Click the Grid Tab.
Set the Grid size to: 1
Set the Snap size to: 1
Set the X axis color to: 80, 120,80 for Red, Green and Blue
Set the Y axis color to: 150,80,80 for Red, Green and Blue.
Set the Z axis color to: 181,186,191 for Red, Green and Blue.
Set the grid Lines Color to: 64,64,64 for Red Green and Blue.
Set the Accented grid lines Color to: 72,72,72 for Red, Green and Blue.
6. Click the Dimensions Tab. Under Formatting:
Set the Distance display to: Decimal.
Set the Fractional display to: 1.0000
7. Click the Close Button of the Options panel, you're done...
You now have custom Neutral Gray Dark UI, 399 commands in the commands
section, 247 commands in the extras section and a Greeble, Kitbash, Objects and
RPG library, permanently open command panels in Moi (no more tab clicking
before you get to an operation) and a reverse button for flipping views to their opposite
in every view window but the 3D view.
Enjoy!
MANY THANKS TO ALL THE GREAT MOI'ERS WHO HAVE WRITTEN THE
COMMANDS, UI ADDS AND TO MICHAEL FOR PUTTING ME ON THE RIGHT
TRACK SO MANY TIMES.
PS: To change the look of the 3D objects in Moi, just click the Extras button on the bottom
toolbar and the last entries there starting with a "-" are all the different display types you
can select. One click will do. There are 14 of them and the default.
Select "-LightDEFAULT" there to reset to Moi's original display style...
New Update Oct. 24th, 2021:
---------------------------------------------
1) Saves preview images with each .3dm file, so you can see what the models look like in explorer. Automatically does that for save/save as/export.
2) Now has the alignment button rearranged so they are more in sync with their action, i.e. Align Vert center/Horiz center, top/bottom/, left/right button are now next to each other.
3) Circe and Arc now include tangents in the options panel.
4) Shortcut keys: Shift-V now saves the current 3d View, V restores it, ALT-V deletes all saved Views. (anytime you hit SHIFT-V it saves the current 3d view and hitting V cycles through them, very useful...
5) Dimensions Panel now open by default, instead of SubD.
Also included in now updated Death UI.rar...
