Ok, ok, time to throw you guys a bone: NEW SCREENSHOT.

Enok

P.S. - It runs better than the default UI so have no fear about your comp not being strong enough to handle this.

P.P.S. - K, that was an exaggeration, it runs the same as the default UI, I get the same framerate of 75 when staring at the ground with both this UI and the default UI.

P.P.P.S. - The group window does have percents, they show up over the player's gauge just like the percent is over the target's gauge in the screenshot.

Perhaps make that "HPS" and angle it opposite of the "MAX" on the other side for balance. Also Enok, going to get a PM from me. I found an idea for a Spell book I think will work great. __________________ Elezibeth Amnell • 29th Season Journeyman Druidess of Tunare Brewing Mistress • Skill 132 100% unRetired -- Elorien Evenstar • 23rd Season Exploring Ranger of Tunare Simi-Retired -- ACUI / EQ2UI Project Designer

Better.

Here is my Spellbook Concept.

Two 'Spell Cast Bar' sized strips running parallel to each other.

Spell Icons inside those bars, names off to the right of the icon.

The selector/hotbutton window is gimped right now (just got the graphics done) and like, well, not very funtional yet (only 1 button works on the selector window) and I haven't coded it so you can click correctly yet, but do you want me to send them anyways so you can check 'em out in game?

Elezibeth ACUI/EQ2UI Developer Join Date: Aug 2002 Posts: 251	Also, I know I'm overkilling on the borders but around the spell icons...is it possible to get litterally 1 pixel borders on them in the cast/effects window? Such as that Attack spells have 1 pixel red or whatever. Good spells 1 piexl blue... It's just something to look at, not sure why but the 1 pixel in the concept just seemed smoother than the 3/5 pixel that is current. Could just be me. Naah, hold off until you get things a bit more complete. Still using this to play a character so if it's too inoperative it might get to me. Just SS any changes as you run over them.

I might suggest that you make this one be available as a beta. P.P.S. - I might suggest? What type of statement is that. I suggest it, not... might... yeah... P.P.S. - Two REQUIRED downloads that go with this mod: http://eqinterface.com/sdownload/fi....php?s=&id=2130 <-- Clear Class Icons http://eqinterface.com/sdownload/fi....php?s=&id=1851 <-- t.king G2 Release Spell Icons Last edited by Haliken : 06-06-2003 at 06:45 PM.

One tweak and I'm going to see if I can't get it uploaded for beta. Soo Soon is Sooner than you think! Be on the watch for a Move to the Beta Forum soon!

As possible variations to this when it gets further along I would suggest : (1) the hotkeys, etc bar inverted and at the top of the screen (2) spell bar available in both horizontal and vertical (3) spell effects available in both horizontal and vertical (4) squeeze the resists onto some window, on raids it is important to know if you are in bard range and song window isn't always enough to know. had a weird idea too. what about sticking that casting gauge running along the spell window. Is this possible?

I would tell an admin that you threadjacked this thread but you suck, err, are one.

Yeah, this Fire Beetle crap is lame, I need to pharm a thread here. Lurking just doesn't get you the fame and fortune.

BTW... when is this going public?!! We all want it soon!!!

Elezibeth ACUI/EQ2UI Developer Join Date: Aug 2002 Posts: 251	Well, one of my tasks is down. Got permission from Mr. Tom King to distribute his Icons with the skin so that's one permission I wanted to get out of the way before beta... Second, I'll be blunt guys. The spellbook close button is horrific as shown in that picture. :P I didn't want to release it with that in it but tell you what...I think I'm going to anyway after I recompress the archive and dump the read-me in it. Watch this therad for a link to the new one shortly... (Hopefully tonight)
