Quarr Quikblade

I found a compass I would like to use with my UI but I am have no idea how to make it work. I know that the .tga that I want to use only has the graphic for the compass and not the new buttons with LoY so I am asking for help with updating my .tga to work with all the newly added buttons. Thanks for any help you can provide.

The .tga that I need updated with the new images is located HERE .. thanks again!

Using a graphics editor and writing lil xml... you could easily update it yourself...

Suggested Graphics editors:
------------------------------------
Gimp
Photoshop
Paintshop
etc.... these seem to be the 3 popular ones
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I myself use Gimp ....really love this tool hehe

i would check around this message boards . perhaps do search ..check archived msgs etc.. =)

rename that windows pieces04.tga to compass.tga then open your animations.xml look for

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<XML ID="EQInterfaceDefinitionLanguage">
<Schema xmlns="EverQuestData" xmlns:dt="EverQuestDataTypes" />

add this directly under it
<TextureInfo item = "compass.tga">
<Size>
<CX>256</CX>
<CY>256</CY>
</Size>
</TextureInfo>
next find this section at the bottom of the animations.xml

<!-- Compass art -->

<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_CompassStrip">
<Frames>
<Texture>window_pieces04.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>0</X>
<Y>0</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>180</CX>
<CY>24</CY>
</Size>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>

<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_CompassOverlay">
<Frames>
<Texture>window_pieces04.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>0</X>
<Y>24</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>98</CX>
<CY>24</CY>
</Size>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>

at the very bottom

change
<Texture>window_pieces04.tga</Texture> ( there are 2)
to
<Texture>compass.tga</Texture>

save and close the animation.xml, then add the compass.tga to your custom ui folder. This should work for you.
