I would like to be able to remove the health percentage from my health bar, my target bar, and my group window bars. I have wanted it out ever since Sony put it in...I have given up making requests to EQ to have a toggle added to allow players to turn it off. I have tried editing things myself and setting it up as a new UI, but I must be doing something wrong. It doesn't seem to matter what I take out, the percents stay there. So...to get to the point, how do I take the percents out? I want it to look just like the default UI, I'm happy with it...except for the percents.

Here's the easiest way.

There are four windows where you're likely to see percents on health bars: group, player, target, and targetoftarget.

You should make a new folder in your uifiles folder, call it Nopercent. Copy these four files from uifiles/default folder to your new uifiles/nopercent folder:

EQUI_GroupWindow, EQUI_PlayerWindow, EQUI_TargetWindow, EQUI_TargetOfTargetWindow.

Open each of the files with a text editor such as notepad and scroll all the way down to the end. Near the end you see a 'pieces' section.

Delete any of the pieces lines that refer to HPLabel or HPPercLabel. You'll delete a total of sixteen lines: ten in the groupwindow, two in targetwindow, two in playerwindow, and two in targetoftargetwindow.

That's it... you now have a UI called Nopercent that doesn't show the percents. Log in to the game and set your character to use that UI.

There will be a big red error message when you start it, because of the lines you deleted, but it will work fine.
