The reason T does this is so there are NO warnings in the UIErrors.txt file, not even "loading from default" warnings. So this technically makes load time faster. But the rewards are negligible compared to having to patch the custom EQUI.xml every time SOE adds a window (like you said Lodi Dodi).

Lanandor -
Is your custom UI folder in the right place? I'm wondering if you put the custom folder under skins instead of uifiles? Are you using the in-game /laodskin window, or the /-command of /loadskin lan? Are there any spaces in your custom UI folder name?

All you SHOULD need in your custom UI folder is the 8 modded XML, then use /load lan (assuming lan is your custom UI folder name) and it'll work.

ran and tested it... he had a duplicate entry of the casting gauge in the castwindow and the castingwindow.

this files in this zip will run as is but 2 things.

1. the group window is out of date, it will run but needs label correction

2. you will see errors when running this UI..

DIE ERRORS DIE.. I'm going to stop the graphics error dump on beta 4 of Avalon

/beats Talesin over the head with a very large stick.

They are not "errors". They are warning messages. They are supposed to be there. Grrrrr.

(PS don't mind us, Talesin and I get into this particular little ... discussion ... frequently )

That made sense so I created the following EQUI.xml in my /Lan folder

**********
<?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 -->
<!-- GAUGETYPE_STAMINA 3 -->
<!-- GAUGETYPE_EXP 4 -->
<!-- GAUGETYPE_ALTEXP 5 -->
<!-- GAUGETYPE_TARGET 6 -->
<!-- GAUGETYPE_CASTING 7 -->
<!-- GAUGETYPE_BREATH 8 -->
<!-- GAUGETYPE_MEMORIZE 9 -->
<!-- GAUGETYPE_SCRIBE 10 -->
<!-- GAUGETYPE_HP_PARTY1 11 -->
<!-- GAUGETYPE_HP_PARTY2 12 -->
<!-- GAUGETYPE_HP_PARTY3 13 -->
<!-- GAUGETYPE_HP_PARTY4 14 -->
<!-- GAUGETYPE_HP_PARTY5 15 -->

<XML ID = "EQInterfaceDefinitionLanguage">

When I loaded the skin it still only gave me the default UI and non of these were loaded.

I did this too when I was fixing your files, what I found out is it loads the playerwindow from the default as well as the modded one, it will appear as duplicate entries in the UIerror.txt ( I found this out because no matter what I renamed the first label inside the player window it found a duplicate entry )

This is another reason I make my loaders like I do
/evade cairenn&enok's attacks

for now run the mods without the EQUI.xml

**
if you do want to have a EQUI.xml in your mod try this out
move
<Include>../default/EQUI.xml</Include>
to the bottom of the <Include>'s list and it just might load your modded windows first and ignore the ones in the EQUI.xml from the default window.

Lanandor

yes my folder Lan is under uifiles not skins
same level as default

and i do have a duplicate casting bar, forgot about that.
Had been commenting out the one in EQUI.xml

Not sure why it keeps giving me the default.
I'm using these same files in another UI folder that has all default copied into it and they work fine.

Thanks to you all for all your help and time

Taleisin

did you try out the fix I posted?
