item window
The last patch totally changed the Item link window and I, along with many others, absolutely hate it. I'd love to be able to get the old one back.

Zajeer already said they're going to be redoing the redo within a week or so.
It's a pita to mod as it is, too. Might just wait to see what the newer new one looks like, heh.

Please ADD Item Window in the pieces list so others can update.
SmileyFAAce_ here.. Please add a spot for people to upload a fixed Item Window. I am sure people are working on " fixing " the Item Window to make it look like the old again.
Thank you.

Zajeer is an EQ Developer and he mentioned it on the SOE boards.
As far as a piece to mimic the old ItemDisplay window, I have seen several people talking about it however most have already found that a lot of the info is now hard coded into that window and cannot be changed or moved
eta the link to the SOE discussion: http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/p...topic_id=114326

After talking to some folks on the team about this thread we're going to look into modifying the item window more. This window is not final and will definitely be modified in the near future.
We definitely think that the wasted space jugarnjax illustrated needs to be addressed. Expect to see more updates on this in the following week.
Thanks for the feedback so far,
-Zajeer

You can post files that have no specific category in Miscellaneous. That's always been the case.
As for people modding this new window ... the hard-coding restricts almost all customization atm.
Can't even resize the thing, really. The top (stats) section is static and it's size is variable depending on the amount of info displayed.
Those pics you might have seen in the threads on the EQ Forums are photoshop'ed representations of changes.

We CAN'T bring back the old item or AA window. All the changes were done Hard code on SOE's end, nothing us mods can do about it ourselves, we have to convince SOE to put them back... or to make the code available to use the old windows as an option.

IMO we should have some option of either using the old window or modding the new one to look like the old. I don't like having to trust that EQ will sufficiently "fix" the new one on their own.

Question
Does anyone have a list of the screen id's (eqtypes) used, that were changed to make this monstrosity? Man I HATE this new supposed improved window. Whoever makes changes like that should have their keyboard taken away from them for at least a month, or at least their mouse. lets see how much of a mess they could make then.

There are no EQTypes assigned to any of the elements of the Item Display window, that's part of why we can't change it.
The window is hard coded, aside from being able to change some font colors and move the item picture there is nothing that can be modded.

silly question here
But can't the coordinates of the fields be moved around? I have it open currently in SIDL (to lazy atm to do this the hard way in a txt editor), and can go into the group, looks like they can be moved. Unless it allows you to move them but crashes you or makes the window not work in game if you do.

Regardless of the coordinates in the window, the server feeds info locations dynamically based on the data, the type of data per item, how much area the info takes up etc. The info is dynamically changed per item and the server controls all of it.
