Serizial A Fire Beetle Join Date: Jan 2004 Posts: 3	I keep adding the line to the eqp_config.xml file, but everytime I launch EQ, it just loads the default, and rewrites xml file. Very annoying. I have cases the same, no spaces in the names, all xml files are named the same as their respective folders, but it wont work. >:(

full tutorial

It is overwriting my eqp_config.xml file. Dreamweaver updates it automatically whenever its changed externally.
Yes, it is in dir /Everquest/Skins/Bellsix/
The images are in the the folder /images/ in the above dir
The .xml file is /Everquest/Skins/Bellsix/Bellsix.xml
In the eqp_config.xml I have the following:

Code:


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<EQPatchConfig>
<skin>Bellsix</skin>
<Username/>
<Options>
<Optional>false</Optional>
<Kunark>false</Kunark>
<Velious>false</Velious>

Taleisin Guest Posts: n/a	~question~ what is dreamweaver? try making the entire name lower caps Folder > \Everquest\SKins\bellsix imagesXML > \Everquest\Skins\bellsix\bellsix.xml Skins Tag > <skin>bellsix</skin> also you might want to check the name of the modded background you want to use (if you have changed the XML that is related to the images file the skin will not load) *IE the background MUST be called main-bg.png

Serizial A Fire Beetle Join Date: Jan 2004 Posts: 3	Have the bg named main-bg.png Have done the lower case... not the problem. Aha! I had Dreamweaver set to a different encoding! Well that solves my problem. I need to set it back to standard, instead of unicode. And I use dreamweaver for all web based/layout based files, because it understands almost all of the languages used, and colors and assorts them accordingly. MX especially. Best of the pack, imo.

Neori A Snow Cougar Join Date: Jan 2003 Server: Tunare Posts: 47	Something I was wondering about after picking up the Patcher M-EX5 (which I love). Is it possible to modify the main-bg file to use some of the nice art from previous EQ expansions? The GoD art just isn't as good in my opinion, especially compared to some of the top-notch artwork from well known artists on the original and Kunark boxes. I'd love to alter my patcher to bring back memories of old EQ, or back to days of Velious. I know the current format of the patcher hasn't been around in all those older expansions, but I'd love to see what it could have looked like, had they used it back then. __________________ Mersia Angelis - 55 mage Neori Willowwhisper - 55 druid Miane Thistlemere - 52 ranger Mandayilie D'Seet - 51 enchanter Kinyrae F`Lorn - 54 necromancer ----------------------------------- [re-retired] ----------------------------------- Former Guildmistress of Angelfire Glory - Tunare server

Taleisin Guest Posts: n/a	I added two skins today well one skin and one kit the skin is a LoTR spoof I couldn't resist and the kit (which is still in moderation) is a background kit that moves the download/play button away from the artwork. Enjoy!!
