/sigh please help
ok, first timer on the UI modification, although I do have some working knowledge of xml....
1) What I want to accomplish:
To keep everything the same on my UI, besides the player window. I want to use a new player window that i downloaded the xml file for.
2) What I have done:
a) Created new folder under uifiles called testui
The Dir Structure looks like this :
/Everquest
/Everquest/uifiles
/Everquest/uifiles/default
/Everquest/uifiles/testui (my custom directory)
/Everquest/uifiles/testui/EQUI.xml
/Everquest/uifiles/testui/EQUI_PlayerWindow.xml
/Everquest/uifiles/testui/somegfx.tga
b) At this point I tried 2 different things
1) First I modified the /uifiles/testui/EQUI.xml file to look like the example I saw in a post to never make your UI break. The code looks like this....
*************************************************
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <!-- Monolithic Parameter File
-->
- <!-- The composite section must come first and be followed by the schema
-->
- <!-- defines for gauges set the EQType tag in Gauge definitions to one of these numbers
-->
- <!-- GAUGETYPE_HP 1

- <!-- GAUGETYPE_MANA 2

-->
- <XML ID="EQInterfaceDefinitionLanguage">
- <Composite>
<Include>../default/EQUI.xml</Include>
</Composite>
<Schema xmlns="EverQuestData" xmlns:dt="EverQuestDataTypes" />
</XML>
**************************************************
I went into the game and typed /load testui
it said couldn't load testui/ and at that point loaded my default.
checked the error message in UIErrors.txt and it said something to the effect of [incorrect composite format]
so, then I exited out of game, and just deleted the /uifiles/testui/EQUI.xml file from my custom directory and went in and tried again.
This time the UIerrors.txt looks like this:

Looks like you tried to copy and paste the casting gauge from the casting window to the player window, you need to give it a new name <guage item="PW_CastingGauge"> or something.

Nope ;(
I copy/pasted nothing from one file to another. All files are the exact same, besides its a new Player Window in mu custom UI folder, and I just want to use the new one instead of the old.
Thx for the reply tho

Did you make the custom player window yourself? If not, whoever amde it could have done it wrong, I'll explain what I think is happening.
[Thu Nov 21 14:13:23 2002] [Line:5 Source:UIFiles\Default\EQUI_CastingWindow.xml] Schema error - Duplicate item Casting_Gauge
Means that the name Casting_Gauge has been used once already in another file, MOST LIKELY your custom player window since it's the only non-default file. So when it looks in EQUI_CastingWindow.xml it finds the name Casting_Gauge for the second time and errors. Open your custom player window with a hex editor and search for Casting_Gauge and see if it finds that.

Don't you mean open the xml file in a text editor? Not a hex editor?

ACK!
I stand corrected. The person who made the new EQUI_PlayerWindow used Cating_Guage, so I changed the name to PW_Casting_Guage, and walla ! works like a charm.
Thanks again ~
