I know that we can totally redo the startmenu, but if you're like me and have bits and pieces from 5 different UI authors, I am unaware of an easy drop in method.
If I'm wrong (I hope I'm wrong) that would be awesome!
I'm looking for a simple format that would be auto-detected by the startmenu and allow authors to add themselves to the startmenu without having to re-write the whole startmenu and without bumping other authors.
So the mods directory wouldn't include eq2ui_mainhud_startbutton.xml or eq2ui_mainhud_startmenu.xml unless they'd specifically been modded. Instead each author could drop in their own like:
eq2ui_startmenu_myAwesomeUI.xml
eq2ui_startmenu_ProfitUI.xml
eq2ui_startmenu_InfoCenter.xml
eq2ui_startmenu_etc.xml
Thusly on the wish-list. Maybe, wherever he is, something will click in Rothgar's head and he'll say, hmm. I could do that in a few minutes ...
