InGame Info XML

The InGame Info XML mod is responsible for the text overlay information you see in the upper left of the screen. The configuration files that control the behavior of this mod are  and. The former is populated with custom configuration by GTNH. This xml file can also be edited to further customize the information it shows you in-game. The customization provided in the file are only just the beginning of what is possible. Despite this mod being quite old, its documentation can still be found, and it provides most of the configuration possible. However, this list is not kept up to date, although it is more convenient to use. An up to date listing of the supported tags can be found by using, which should include the tags supported by mod integration (e.g. blood magic and thaumcraft info).

The bulk of this document will focus on compiling examples of different configurations which may be useful for GTNH players. Where applicable, notes or further examples should be included that detail how to tweak these base examples to fit custom needs. This document will also include what configuration in the GTNH config controls what aspects of the information you see in game.

Top Left
The top left information is controlled by lines starting at:

Ping, Username, FPS
This prints the ping icon (ping represented by bars), gold format string, username, white format string, "FPS:", and followed by the FPS with a color format chosen based on the FPS. For example, FPS greater than 60 will be shown in green, while anything between 0 and 15 will be shown in dark red. As you can see here, the config inside the  tag is specified by a single operation, then a variable to operate on, and then conditions to match respectively. If we wanted, we could add another condition that the FPS be shown in pink if it is above 120 by adding  to the top of the num tag list and   to the top of the str tag list.

Time, Day
This prints the minecraft clock sprite, followed by the year, the day in the year, and the time. It appears that there is no value for the year, so it is instead calculated from the total number of days that have elapsed. Perhaps we could use that to calculate a Julian date or stardate. To rephrase the year block in another syntax:

TODO

Thaumcraft Warp
This shows the total amount of Warp you have, as well as a breakdown of permanent, sticky, and temporary warp. This can be sometimes slow to update with some methods of warp removal (Purification Talisman).

Blood Magic LP
This shows your current and maximum LP in your Blood Magic network.
