VMA - Vert Mod, updated by Aoenla
 

Hello,

I've been hesitant to post this before, since others have taken up the maintenance of the original vert mod that many of us liked so much. However, my version of the original vert stuff is rather significantly different from the current stuff as maintained by Sokok and Kudane, so I thought I would go ahead and at least post mine here.

I think my stuff remains truer to the original vert design, and I actually prefer it - that's not to say of course that the work done by Sokol/Kudane and others is substandard, it's just gone in a different direction.

I also have incorporated the T.King spell icons, with one change - because I have Ring10, which regularly is overwritten by druid regen, I've changed the icon of the druid regen spell to something "reddish" that is actually probably more appropriate for a dot, rather than a buff. I did that intentionally, since I wanted a solid visual cue when the druid dot had negated my Ring10 buff that I as a ranger happen to prefer. If you find that change annoying, it is easily remedied by simply unzipping the unmodified T.King spell icons into the vma42 directory, restoring the originals.

VMA version 4.2 - (Vert Mod, as maintained by Aoenla)

Updated your link to your download here.

Also noticed when I tested it your missing an LFG button (just an observation)

And I love that you are using my VERT 1.0 Compass... :)

Thanks. Actually, after I had posted this, I sorted out how to upload things here, and I've sent it in, under the "mixnmatch" section.

All approved, and changed my message above to reflect it.

Merry Christmas!

Ah, that's your compass? Thanks very much for that, I like it a lot.

was the first thing I ever made for Vert.. when Vert 1.0 (now 1.1) was the only one out they added the compass, I made a compass I thought matched fairly well.

Vertabrae went back later and made his own for 2.2... but its nice to see mine still out there.. :)

edit :nevermind

Love this UI!

Any chance you will be updating? Seems not to work since the GoD patch.

Thanks

I've been wondering the same thing, Caribacey. Haven't had time to do it, and I have a couple of (unanswered) threads where I ask this, but I wonder if you can't use the Solaria updates (UI based on the same mod (Vert) that Aoenla was based on) to update Aoenla. Or, just use Solaria, I suppose....

But, if you get a chance, give it a try, and give us a shout if it works. Seems logical, I just don't know.

Edit: Well, I tried updating Aoenla with Vert and then Solaria, and neither worked. I'm sure it would, I just don't know enough or have the time to muck around. Solaria, I think it was, made my system crawl, so I've since settled on the Kaori interface. Back to pretty borders, I guess.

Updated as of 05 May 2004
 

Hello folks,

I decided to give a shot at updating this UI after seeing this post by brokey .


You can download the new version HERE

Please post here, PM, or email me any problems, requests, or comments that you have with the UI and I will work toward addressing them.

Any chance we could get this in some different colors?

Ocean Spray would rock.

Drop these files into the VMA folder and let me know if they do it for you.

Edit 2004 May 18
New file uploaded.
Further testing proved there were some graphic errors.
Edited some gauges to be the default red.

:cool:

Many thanks, Mortis. This updated version works very well for me. Funny, I think you did an earlier mod to something that I liked, too - maybe the switching of the target/self window, so the target flashed when you attacked? Think that was it, maybe not. In any case, thanks for the updated VMA.

Hehe, I take it back. For some reason - perhaps because I rolled back my video driver to take care of a graphics problem? - I cannot load VMA 4.3. Very frustrating. Makes me wonder if my dinosaur PIII-800 is about at the end of its EQ rope.

I did not purchase OoW and cannot be sure that these will work, but if you are interested in testing them for me you can find updated files on my blog.

Once they have been tested, I'll be posting an official update on eqinterface and then start work on the Ocean Spray theme update.

Also, I'm waiting on a Solaria update to get the buff numbers for 15-19, until then they have no number labels.

Any chance you could have an option to keep the action window small? Its the only thing I am not crazy about with this version. I tried just dropping in the EQUI_Actions from Kudane's vert. It works but there is a graphic error on the side to side arrows.

I haven't touched that window. I have basically just been patching the UI whenever it needs it.

I'd be happy to try to modify another window for you to use. Let me know the link to the file that contains the window you want, and I'll work on it.

Its the one from here. Its basically just 2/3 the height. Thanks for the fast reply :)

Try this one.

Woot! Thats perfect, thank you very much. :nana:

Update?
 

Would anyone be willing to update this UI?

I don't really play EQ anymore, but since nobody else seems insterested in updating this I will do what I can when I can.

While I am working on it, I will upload "patch" files to my server for download and testing. These will need to be extracted to your existing VMA UI folder.

Once all the pieces that need to be have been brought up to date, I will release the next full version of VMA here, including the Ocean Spray version.

I am subscribed to this thread still, but you will be able to keep more up to date with my progress on my blog .

Edit:
I've patched this to the best of my ability without going into game.
