Default call me silly

Well I decided that it might be nice to see what I am modding without logging into the game. So I downloaded SidlWidl and it update. It install fine and runs, every thing looks very nice. Only problem is that I can't see any files in any directory to open.

The help button takes me to a generic link of some kind that will do web search's, but no help for just the basics of starting the software. Once going I am sure I can muddle my way through and figure it out, But I can't even open or create a file that SidlWidl can see to open.

If someone could please point me in the right direction starting with just opening or creating a document, I can work it out from there.

Perhaps just giving me a complete file name with its proper extension so I have an example of what the software is looking for since it won't see plain .xml files.

Something like:
EQUI_PlayerWindow or
EQUI_PlayerWindow.xml

Neither of those examples are visible to SidlWidl

Thanks in advance
Fenrian

Default How to:

  1. Click File | Open Default Directory.
  2. Browse to your EverQuest\UIFiles\Default directory (normally C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\UIFiles\Default\) and double click EQUI.xml.
  3. click File | Open Skin and then select the folder name of the UI that you want to modify.

Once you do this, a list of all the windows will appear on the left with the name of the file they use (i.e. EQUI_Animations.xml). Expand the item you want to change, then doubleclick the [Screen] item to show it. You can select any element on the graphical interface to modify, or add your own using the other tools.

Hope that helps!
