Buma Guest Posts: n/a	I just want to say that this is one of the very best UIs I have tried. I really like how everything is there but most of the clutter is gone. I run 2 960x720 windows side by side and this UI is almost perfect. Keep up the good work!

Darl A Wooly Rhino Join Date: Nov 2002 Posts: 74	vertminimal3 updated 8.26.04 Thanks, Buma. It's terrific to hear that. Ok, I've updated vertminimal3 again. This should be the last one for awhile, I think... I think I've incorporated everything I wanted to. (Famous last words, perhaps, but I'm really pretty happy with it at the moment.) Once again, the files are here: http://www.eqinterface.com/download...nfo.php?id=3623 This file includes all the patches previously posted in this thread, plus a few other treats. It's an all-around better UI than the previous versions, so I'd suggest that you upgrade to this one now if you've been reluctant to do so. Thanks again for using my stuff, and please keep posting feedback and suggestions. Many of the best ideas in the UI come from these boards. -Darl 8.26.04

Omens of War patch...

Here are the patched files to bring VertMinimal2 and VertMinimal3 up to date with the Omens of War-era UI changes.

Unfortunately, I must once again ask you to do the testing, as OoW becomes the third expansion to be released since I quit playing EQ.

If the new buff icons and labels do not match up (and they most likely won't), please get a screenshot and post in this thread, PM or email me at [email protected].

Thanks for using it,
-Darl

The EQUI_CastSpellWnd.xml file inside the OoWPatch folder is the updated regular horizontal spell bar. The vertical spell bar is in the similarly named folder. Two different windows with identical names in different folders. -Darl

Darl A Wooly Rhino Join Date: Nov 2002 Posts: 74	Yipes... My sincere appologies. Instead of the horizontal window, I somehow placed an intermediate version of the vertical window into the patch folder. I've put the correct (with any manner of luck at all, they'll be correct) files back up. Thanks for pointing this out, and more thanks for being so polite about it. -Darl

Changing clicky slots in the VertMinimal UIs...

Ok, to change a right click slot you need to change two lines in the EQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml file. The sections that we're concerned with are called "NewSlotX" in my UI, where X is a number between 1 and 4. Different UIs will have different naming schemes.

Here's what we're looking at:

Code:


        <InvSlot item="Newslot3">
		<ScreenID>Newslot3</ScreenID>
		<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
		<Location>
			<X>88</X>
			<Y>54</Y>
		</Location>
		<Size>
			<CX>32</CX>
			<CY>32</CY>
		</Size>
		<Background>A_MiniInvBack</Background>
		<EQType>8</EQType>
		<Style_VScroll>false</Style_VScroll>
		<Style_HScroll>false</Style_HScroll>
		<Style_Transparent>false</Style_Transparent>
        </InvSlot>

The first line we need to change is the 'Background' line. This tells EQ what image to display behind your piece of equipment. The EQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml file contains the names of all the possible background images in the first quarter or so of the file. As we're replacing the cloak clicky with a shield/secondary, we'll change the line

<Background>A_MiniInvBack</Background>

<Background>A_MiniInvSecondary</Background>

The other line we need to change is the 'EQType' line. This tells EQ what piece of equipment to display. There is an excellent list of all of the EQTypes at http://www.eqinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8276. The EQType for the shield/secondary inventory slot is 14. So we change

<EQType>8</EQType>

<EQType>14</EQType>

That's all there is to it.

To change the ring slot to legs, we make similar changes to the 'Newslot4' item. The legs background is called A_MiniInvLegs and the EQType is 18.

I've attached a file with these changes already made.

Twofisted A Fire Beetle Join Date: Jan 2003 Server: Thouloxe Paells Posts: 2	Compass Window First, let me say, i really like this UI, thx for the effort. Can you explain to me what the red and green squares on the compass are for, and how i am supposed to use them. They obviously are to perform a function, but i cant figure out what that function is. Please explain. Thank you Twofisted Tholuxe Paells

The first box is your north/south number, the second box is your east/west number. Green means that the number is increasing, red means that it is decreasing, and black means that there is no change. So let's say that you are currently at 1000, 0, 0 and your destination is at 2000, 1000, 0. You want both the numbers to increase, so you want them to both be green. Rotate until both boxes are green and you'll be facing NW, which is the direction of your destination. But the real reason I continue to include this feature is that it looks pretty cool. I never used the function much, to be honest. -Darl
