Old Default
 

Download it here!

Preface:
This UI is intended to skin the new default UI to look like the old default UI
using as few files as possible. If everyone who prefers the old default would
use this UI instead, fewer UIs would break on patch day.

Purpose:
This UI is intended to be a starting point for UI customization. Extract the
files into a custom UI folder, then apply old UI modifications into the folder
as you normally would.

Explanation:
The included EQUI_Animations.xml file is the key to the functionality of this UI. It redefines all graphical bits as they were in the old default UI so that the new default templates can be used without modification.

This is good because this one file is all you actually need to make almost any old UI mods compatible with the new UI.

The downside to this is that any old UI mod that modifies EQUI_Animations.xml cannot be used in conjunction with this UI.

Implementation:
Extract the contents of the zip file into a new, empty custom UI folder as you would any new UI (EQInterface.com's Installation FAQ).

Now you should be able to put any old UI modifications into the same (new) custom UI folder that you just created for this UI, as long as they don't overwrite EQUI_Animations.xml.

Feedback:
Please leave any questions or comments in this thread.

This skin
 

This skin....
I like this skin so far. I have nto used it extencivly yet, but from what I have seen form about 20 minutes of running in PoK and a couple of other zones, I like it, I am going to start using it on all of my characters I believe.

I would like to see percentages added to it on all bars like the percentage was overlayed on the self window (the little square window that shows hp/mana/endu) for the HP....

Then again I wanted it on the SoE version too. I had a skinthat put percentage on all 3 of the bars inthe self window and on the xp and aa bars in the inventory window (that was all it did though) and it was the same size and font as the orignal.

Thank you for the skin, looks good;

mouse pointer
 

Howdy,

I downloaded this UI..it works great...however...i can't seem to change my mouse pointer...i follow the instructions to the letter. I added the texture info and i replaced the A_defaultcursor part of the EQUI animation xml. What am i doing wrong?

Any chance for an update?

Did a UI file get patched that I didn't notice? This should still be fully functional.

Enok

It is still functional here.

I'll update this UI for The Serpent's Spine once the UI changes are finalized and the beta NDA is lifted.

Getting this:

[Wed Sep 20 00:08:42 2006] XML reference error! Ui2DAnimation[6]:A_CharacterSelect[712] referenced but NEVER declared!

[Wed Sep 20 00:08:42 2006] Error validating symbol table.
[Wed Sep 20 00:08:42 2006] Error loading skin: loading default skin instead.

Can't work around it, never seen it before. Seems like a problem with the equi_animations.xml

I love this one. Has it been updated for tss yet?

I updated it at noon, before the servers came up. I didn't test it except on beta server, but it should work. Can anyone respond as to whether the new version is working?

Enok

I downloaded it again from old link. When i tried it, it set me to default.

You might have something set up wrong on your end; try a fresh custom UI folder just to test as I got it working from the download just fine.

Enok

seems tss aa's arent in the aa window, and the skills are shown incorrectly

That means your UI folder is wrong, as I don't include a modified skills window or AA window. Try a clean install and go from there.

Haliken is my hero, toss in a folder didn't have to do anything but "keep layout" bam everything needed all working looked the same

Nm got it working-as someone else noted-spell gems are a little shrunk down-not huge. Spell book right clicking seems a little dodgey. I have to bear down on the spell icon-which triggers move spell mode. Nor Do I seem able to keep the information window open-soon as i release mouse- it disppears. All i can see for now. Thanks

TKing Animations
 

I love being able to get my old (2yrs+ gone) UI from TKing again. However, your install info says not to overwrite the Animations file.

Is there any way I can get the TKing class animations to work?

Any help is appreciated. I'm finding getting back to playing very difficult, without my modded UI. :(

Thanks,

TBS update comming?
 

I love this UI and was hopeing it could be updated so we can revel in the old school skin so many of us adore and like using. I have spoken to many friends and guildmates that use this UI and we all pray we can use it again soon. Thankies so much in advance from myself and many players in Norrath :)

Yikes. Huge "quote"

I dont know if Haliken is keeping it updated, but I have my own default_old under my skin list if you need it that is compatible with tbs.

Needs Buried sea update
 

could u update it to the Buried seas updates so i can use.. because im crashn with it

Beta 10 Issue
 

Hopefully this is the right place to put this. UI looks great and runs quite well as usual. Only problem I note is, No LFG functionality. Buttons not there

Mercenary Button on selector window does not display. Narrowed it down to the window_pieces04.tga file. I havent worked with tga files or i would fix it myself heh.

Do you have a merc? If not it won't show.

update for window_pieces04
 

Haliken -

Heres the updated window_pieces04.tga file with mercenary button icons. Your last update was missing them.

Re : window pieces 04
 

works. I also downloaded old_default then removed Window_Pieces04 and that cured my ' slug ' spot ;P.

SmileyFAAce_ :D

Or just stick in the window_pieces04 i uploaded smiley =)

My first words was ' works '. Meaning I did download the fix you did..

How do you open the TGA.. what do you use.


PS thanks for the fix ;).. solved the issue. I believe this is photoshop which I don't have.. any ideas how to open it.. curious on what you did to fix it.

SmileyFAAce_ :D

Oh! I didn't know it was in reference to me lol. I actually had a guildie friend help me with it. I'm not good with images. But basically just copied the old picture on top of the new picture using photoshop.

Here's a test file to try and make the player window's flashing attack indicator into a thin flashing line.
