Coagin

Going back and reading everything in this thread and doing some experimenting with my .ini file, I have got it figured out, and thought this post will help a great deal with ppl with little or no expirience with working on the .ini and ui files manually.

Thank you all for your posts. Took me some time but I got my ui fixed.

I use lodidodi for my ui and am going to use it as an example. Wildroot, hope this helps you out as well.

My problem was the buff and Short duration buffs wasn't sizeing to the right size.

1. goto to the directory where you installed the ui. ex: drive:\programfiles\sony\everquest\uifiles\<ui directory>
***if you don't have a uifiles folder, then it'll be in a utilities folder.***
2. Open EQUI_Buffwindow.xml with notepad.
3. Once opened scroll down until you see <Screen item = "BuffWindow">. It'll be close to the end of the file.

ex:
<Screen item = "BuffWindow">
<!--<ScreenID/>-->
<Text>Effects</Text>
<RelativePosition>false</RelativePosition>
<Location>
<X>0</X>
<Y>1</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>1025</CX> <-----| These numbers you
<CY>102</CY> <-----| will need.
</Size>
<Style_VScroll>false</Style_VScroll>
<Style_HScroll>false</Style_HScroll>
<Style_Transparent>true</Style_Transparent>
<!--<TooltipReference/>-->
<DrawTemplate>WDT_RoundedNoTitle</DrawTemplate>
<Style_Titlebar>false</Style_Titlebar>
<Style_Closebox>false</Style_Closebox>
<Style_Minimizebox>false</Style_Minimizebox>
<Style_Border>false</Style_Border>
<Style_Sizable>false</Style_Sizable>

4. Now open UI_toon name_server.ini with notepad
ex: UI_Coagin_tribunal.ini
It will be located in your Everquest folder.
5. sroll down until you see:
[BuffWindow]
INIVersion=1
Minimized1152x864=0
BGTint.red=255
BGTint.green=255
BGTint.blue=255
BGType=1
Fades=true
Delay=2000
Duration=500
Alpha=255
FadeToAlpha=1
Locked=false
XPos1152x864=686
YPos1152x864=48
Width1152x864=241 <----| These end numbers are
Height1152x864=60 <----| what we will change.
RestoreXPos1152x864=0
RestoreYPos1152x864=0
RestoreWidth1152x864=0
RestoreHeight1152x864=0

*** note: the 1152X864 is the resolution. It might be different in your ini file.

Now change "Width1152x864=241" and "Height1152x864=60 " with the cx and xy numbers from your ui's xml file.

ex:
Width1152x864=1025
Height1152x864=102

4. save your changes and close files.
5. repeat steps for other parts of the ui that need to be fixed.
***DON'T FORGET TO SAVE YOUR WORK***

Hope this helps. I think these steps will help out with other ui's other than the lodidoi ui. I also noticed that the higher the resolution in the game, the more parts of the ui are messed up.
