Re: Classic EQ/Velious UI in the works
 

Actually, Zanta, Talyns already released something very similar to the old "small-screen" UI...and in multiple colour schema, as well. Mind you, they aren't exactly the same as the old "small-screen" UI, but they are quite close...definitely struck a few nostalgic nerves when I first saw them.

Here they are:
-Blue themed old "small-screen" UI.
-Green themed old "small-screen" UI.
-Gray themed old "small-screen" UI.
-Purple themed old "small-screen" UI.
-Red themed old "small-screen" UI.
-"Wood" themed old "small-screen" UI.

On a second note, keep up the nice work, DOA...I'm definitely looking forward to trying that one out, myself. Especially if you could get the rest of the post-"old school" UI modded to match the theme. If not, hey, another project to add to the 300 others atop the dangerously leaning pile. Heh.

NOTE: Yes, the coding to this post shows I had entirely too much free time on my hands this lovely Thursday morning. Insomnia can be fun, like that...much more entertaining than a novel of my senseless drivel, I find. "OOH! Look at the pretty colours!" /smirk

Thanks for the links Aramil... I recall someone doing the same thing at the old EQInterface site before they moved to this one, that looked just exactly like the picture I posted. I tried searching for it here, but have come up empty handed.

Well.. When is the Vel one comeing out? I really want to use this.. I miss it soo..

So, were might the UI be? *cry* Been waitin..

I too loved the Velious UI. The thing that I miss most about it though is that you could hit the ` key and it would auto shade or remove the shading from the window. The reason that was so key to me was zones where the background was bright, I liked having the shading to see white/yellow text and I liked removing it when I was in a dark environment. Anyone know if there is a way to add that functionality back to the windows?

Sorry for being absent for so long, but i've been very very busy :)

The UI is 95% complete. However, chances are that I will most likely not be releasing it for seperate download until my Circle of Elements project is completed, as I mainly created the UI to be used for CoE, and there are several issues with it if used on a currect EQ character (mainly the spell book).

To get more info on CoE, and to view some more screenshots of the UI, you can visit my website at www.eqclassic.net. For those wondering what Circle of Elements is, its a project aimed at recreating classic EQ the way it was back in 1999.


fallowmar: There is no way to put back the functionality of the ` key, since its been removed from the client. The UI currently does not have the transparent background and is completly clear. The grey background can be added back with relative ease, but there would be no way to turn it on/off from within the game.

Well, when ever you can get it to us will be nice.. haha

So your makeing a server for EqEmu? I once tryed that.. was not to fun.. i did not understand it.. haha.. Could not cast.. or hit for more then 1.. lol.. even on wep that was 125/0 lol.. Oo well.. if it is an EqEmu server.. could you tell me how to work it.. haha I would love to play old Eq again

This every going to come out???

Classic EQ
 

When and if you get this done, I can't wait. Looks like just what I need. I have downloaded just about all the ui's that they have and none of them work at all to my satisfaction. Please hurry and get this finished it will be a welcome ui finally to all the other ones out there. Bless You.
Please Hurry.
Thank you for working on a ui that will be the best I have seen yet. :nana:

Come On!!! I Cant Wait!!!!

Lets try to keep the bumping to a minimum. He knows where to find the thread and he'll post if there's new info regarding his project.

That is truely old skool /bow

that super oldskool UI would be the sasiest one to make. all the images are right there to use. use psp to cut them out. use XML UI to place them.

Am I to guess that this project is discontinued and sadly will never be seen to the public??? Or did I just miss out on something?
