EQInterface Forums - View Single Post - Hardcoded

OK so far my findings are :

- If it has an EQType it can be move and placed in any window you like. But at the current time you can only have 1 existing gauge of each type. Also only 1 label, having more than 1 doesn't cause it to crash but all dupicates appear as a 0 (or default text), this has been or will be soon fixed on test.

- If it doesn't have an EQType it MUST not only exist but also be in it's original window, moving it WILL NOT work.

- All XML files for windows must exist.

- It is reported (by a 3rd party) that Verant have allowed for players to create new windows, but I have yet to see anyone succeed at doing this. So either you can't fullstop or that you can't yet.

- Some windows have inherit characteristics which can't be duplicated or removed.
. Casting window will appear when casting, even if the bar is not there.
. Breathe Window will appear under water, even if the bar is not there.
. Inventory will appear when looting/banking or shopping even if no slots are in it.
. Buff window has hard-coded placing of icons, and starts at the top-left, and readjusts with re-sizing.
. Containers size is hard-coded, therefore not changable through XML.

Can't think of anything else at the moment.
