Takes awhile to download (103 MB). I'm on a cable modem and it took a few minutes longer than expected, but naturally that isn't too bad. :)

I love using this program, but it does have ... quirks.

I get errors a lot when starting it, but if I just hit Ignore, the program usually opens and pretty much works for me.

Mine has issues with making the first letter of the Type Name Upper Case in the XML sometimes. This causes errors until you correct it to match the definition. You can correct it in the program though.

I have to be careful clicking outside the preview window graphic or I get the index out of range error - however I can usually ignore this and continue. I wish I were better at C# so I could try and fix this myself, but I still really really like the ease it does bring to making my own little mods.

And here is the link to download it:

Has anyone else have problems running .NET and Sidlwidl on Windows XP? I finally gave up and uninstalled them both due to the operating system errors, program errors and lock-ups and crashes. :(

Running winXP pro and although it locks up every once in awhile its fairly stable for me.

same problem
 

I am also having problems with reoccuring crashes on XP pro. I will be trying it on another computer later tonight.. Dern work computer sucks anyway :P

is anyone updating this editor still?? If so might there be some way to contact them. Maybe even contact the old programer for it. I might think about picking it up and working with it. I don't have a warm and fuzzy about it, but it would be fun to play with to figure it out...

Would be great to get some updates for a software that could make all of our lives so much easier.....

I might even be able to set it up when you make a new UI that it throws all the old stuff to the side, but still keeps what is require in the window.

If anyone has any contact info please let me know and i'll see what i can do with the program.

Nope, author has been MIA for a year or two.

Loks like i'll be working in the dark.... I'll look at it and see what i can learn about the programing.. Hope i can help out in getting it updated.

Any Info that would help track down the previous owner of this would be much apreaciated.

Thank you in advance if you have this info.

My system has the 1.1 .Net Framework installed already...
 

Can I also install the 1.0 .NET SDK? Is there a 1.1 SDK? Were can I download the SDK(s)?

Thank you.

Ok I noticed that someone asked for a link to Microsoft .Net SDK 1.0. Not sure if its still needed anymore but here is a link that I found to download it

Hope that helps some, I'm a newbie to this entire XML UI editing stuff, but trying to learn so I'll be posting some questions I'm sure as I go along.

no clue how to use this
 

I downloaded this. I have no clue how to open a file in it to customize..
I have net framework 1.1 and 2.0. It opens fine.. just how do I load ' EQUI_BuffWindow.xml ' for example ?


SmileyFAAce :D

Its used to open the whole UI directory

Go to tools then options, set the default directory to EQ directory for the default, ie: (C:\Program Files\Everquest\uifiles\default)

set skin to the UI you want to start with buy default

now when you start SidlWidl.exe it will have the complete UI loaded you that you choose

to open a new UI go to file, open skin - then choose the UI that you want to view/edit

browse the individual components ie: EQUI_BuffWindow.xml
expand that component (single click)
to view the whole component double click at the bottom [Screen]Buffwindow
now you can View the window

Hope that help's I suck at explaining things :nana:

Ill try tomarrow thanks:D
