Module Tab

RLUI Modules.png

On this tab you will be able to see a list with all your installed modules. If you have "Load Modules at Startup" enabled in the RLUI Settings Panel your modules folder will be scanned during RLUI startup, if not the list will be empty and you will need to press the Refresh.png button to scan your modules folder. Any module with problems will be marked as red and a small red sign will appear on it's row header, by moving your mouse over it you will be able to see what is the problem with it. If you want to read on how to add modules to your setup, make sure you check HERE.

The very last column of the grid will tell you if a module has any configuration files you can edit, there are 2 different icons:

Document.png This means the module has a single global configuration file that will hold the settings for all the systems that module supports. This file is stored in the same folder as your module and is named MODULE_NAME.ini.
Documents.png This means the module has not only a single global configuration file, but also allows system specific files for all or some systems only. System specific files will hold the settings for that particular system only. These files are stored in the same folder as your module and are named SYSTEM_NAME.ini.

Module Tab Features

Info 16x16.png View Module Info

This will show you a form where you can see all the relevant information for the selected module in the list. From module author, version to supported systems or even a clickable link to that emulator's website. You can also open this form by simply double clicking on a module.

Open Explorer.png Open Module folder in Windows Explorer

This will open Windows Explorer in whatever folder the selected module in the list is located.

Edit 16x16.png Edit Module contents

This will open the selected module in the list with the text editor tool you defined in the RLUI Settings Tab.

Notes.png View Module notes

This will open a new form that will allow you read all the notes the module author added for the selected module in the list. This is the only RLUI form that is not modal, which means you can keep it open while still working on RLUI.

ModuleInis 24x24.png Edit Module global settings

This will allow you to edit the global settings for the selected module in the list. This will open the module settings form, you can read more about it here: RLUI_Module_Settings

SystemInis 24x24.png Edit Module system specific settings

This will allow you to edit the system specific settings for the selected module in the list. Only a few modules support this, most modules will only make use of a global settings file. This will open the module settings form, you can read more about it here: RLUI_Module_Settings

ValidateInis.png Module Ini File validation

This will validate the contents of the settings file(s) for the selected module and warn you if any error is fond. It will check the data in each ini file against it's associated ISD file for validity, if you are using invalid options for some keys you will be notified about it.
