Please leave feedback here, if you liked it, if you didn't (what, why, etc) or if you have suggestions to improve it

Awesome! I have been searching for just the right UI and this one ROCKS. I'm not a wiz at the whole UI thing but I know what I like and what works and this one is just what I have been looking for. BRAVO! :D

I agree this is an excellent UI and it's really the only one I'll use.
I have one problem, though. The piece with my HP/Stamina/Name/Level is missing it's background picture. It's just a transparent box with letters, it seems. The HP/Stamina graphics are there, somehow. And when I cast, I can see the background image kind of scan past...?

Is there a seperate thing I have to put behind it? Or should it all be one piece?

I'm a little new to this myself...

It should be there.. if you right click somewhere on the box (this is technically your group window) you should get a little menu. . select background -> texture and see if that fixes it..

Awe, yeah! That fixed it. :D

one other thing i noticed is that when you're grouped with somebody and are in different zones, the F1 <someones name> goes blank ?? The graphic is there but no name. Is this another texture thing I should adjust?

hmm, the name disappearing is probably due to how the name for the group member is being displayed.. it's not the name that is part of the gauge, it's a label with the same EQType as the gauge.. So that's just due to how the code on the server is handling it.. I can probably change it to use the name on the gauge versus using a seperate label for the name..

I love the UI but do you think you could put in an option to have the spells and buffs to be vertical instead of horizontal. thanks

Excellent work and thx for finally getting this into 1024x768 that I am also stuck with.

great UI.......
 

i can't find the stat or exp windows on my screen anywhere.....i loaded the default UI back and put everything kind of in te middle,and reloaded your UI.......still no stat window or exp bars....help please........

ack........
 

hehehe......i found the stat and exp window.....

awsome UI. there was only one part, that i could tell, that was a bit confusing. when i went to the inventory screen, i only got a screen with a destroy button and the cash slots, no items or inventory slots. i see that you have an item tab on the pet window, and you can see your bag slots on the horizontal bar, but nothing when you go to inventory. is this intentional? or something funny, just curious.

PS, if you have the time, i was wondering if you would be able to break down parts of this UI into stand alone downloads? specifically i love the container/bazaar/trader/bank/looting windows. is it possible to extract these into stand alone items? i tried to pull them out but it didnt work. thanks for all the hard work! keep up the good job

oh and the map window hehe that rocks as well

The map window is from Drakah's Warcraft UI, all I did was reposition some of the buttons he had positioned outside of the window.. (probably because those buttons just aren't used very much) .. I think you can use that one outside of the UI, you would just need to change which draw template it uses.. (and of course copy the .tga file for the artwork)

Yes, the inventory slots have been removed from the inventory window on purpose.. Since they are always available in the pet info window (there is an option to keep it up at all times in the options) and the rest of the slots are on the hotbutton bar.. I didn't like having them in two different places.. What's left in the inventory window is what couldn't be moved.

I think I can put out a stand alone mod for those windows you mentioned.. I had already posted a stand alone container mod on Drakah's website, and I believe I would just need to add the xml for the other windows to that (since they are using the same template).. Note that this would not be a drop in mod to the other warcraft mods as there are some elements that would be shared and cause it to crash.. (you would need to make modifications to the code to get it to work)

I really don't have any plans to reorient the spell bar or the buffs.. for one thing there's not enough room on the screen for that orientation .. I would have to completely resize them for that to work.. so sorry, you're kind of stuck with them in the horizontal positions (note that you could delete the .xml files to revert back to default, but you'll lose the mana bar if you do that .. also the casting gauge window is currently set to size 0,0)

Thanks for the feedback!

thank you dear did a real graet job

Ok, I uploaded the container type windows as a seperate mod under the containers category.. This includes: bazaar, big bank, loot, merchant, container, give and trade windows.. works with the default UI - see the downloads section once it's available

Those windows are nice, but I don't care to modify them.. they should work with the UI just fine though, and if they use the default templates (which I modified for this UI) then they will even look like they belong.. ;) .. most stand alone mods should work if they were coded correctly

I loved the UI but it crashed me so I don't know what I did wrong and 2 i had no yes or no buttons on my rez window

But all and all nice skin

Well if it crashed the game (meaning EQ closed) then I'm not sure what to tell you... When that happens it generally doesn't put any error message in the UIErrors.txt file.. However if there is an error in that file let me know what it is and maybe I can figure out why it crashed..

As to the yes/no buttons not showing up, looks like this is a rather common issue, and is caused by some corruption in some options files.. You can look in the "Help" forum for more info, but looks like you need to remove some options files to resolve that one..

i have just 1 question. how do i make the exp bar that shows on the main screen show reg. exp and not AA, or visa versa depending on what i am goin for?

Awesome UI btw, its the best one i've seen so far.
Only problem i've had so far is that i cant see HP in numbers i'm so used to the numbers instead of just looking at the bar =p

And when i go to a merchant..the merchant window is so big that when i press Alt to see the item names they jus stack on top of each other and its hard to see what u want to buy without goin to each item one at a time.

Just some suggestions to make it more convenient..Lazy guy here hehe )

PS. is there a way to put those cool character pics near your HP too? like the one Drakah made?

The exp bars (both of them) and the HP numbers are in the pet info window.. There is not a gauge in the hotbutton bar on my UI .. So if you want to see either of those you should keep the pet window up at all times (and it should show the player tab in that window) .. As for the merchant window, sorry, but I didn't want to make the merchant window any bigger. if you don't like it then simply delete the merchant_window.xml file..

If you want to put a different image next to your name and gauges, you can follow the same instructions Drakah gives with his UI (note however that he doesn't include the racial images with Warcraft emulated 2.0) ... Without looking, I think it's the Player_Picture.tga that you need to modify.


I will try to get this UI modified this evening for the patch changes..

I just logged in to the game and the UI seems to be working with the Dec 18th changes, so I may take an extra day before I release an updated version

Can you post a the Hot button bar a s a seperate piece. I love it and would like to use it.

Do you have any of the config files so that the windows are in the right places? Having problems getting them all in place.

same here is there an ini somewhere :)

I tried the seperate container only mod, with the standard drakah warcraft emulation 2.0 and it didn't work at all, broke the UI and made the default UI load. Not sure why, said XML error.

NICE !
 

Great job with this UI.

Maybe any chance to get it for 1280-1024 ?

(seems to be pretty easy to readapt, but im complety noob with xml code) :D

Thanks, I really enjoyed making the UI and I'm glad others like it.. This was modified from Drakah's Warcraft Emulated UI version 2.0 .. If you want it for 1280x1024 resolution I would suggest using his UI.. (there are some differences, but overall it's similar) ..

I believe I mentioned the use of my stand-alone container mod with the other Warcraft UIs in the description of that mod.. Because the stand-alone mod has to define some elements that are already in use in the Warcraft UIs, it will not work with those UIs without modifying the XML.. Perhaps when Drakah has time to remodify his UI, he will include my container mod in it..

As for the hotbutton bar, you might be able to simply copy that html with appropriate graphic files (drakah_wow_buttons.tga and the drakah_wow_hotbuttons_xx.tga's I think) and use it with another UI .. I haven't really planned on making seperate mods for each piece of the UI.. Most of the things that will cause problems when using these seperately is simply template definitions, or graphic definitions..

I will have to find the configuration file I used to take the screenshot with.. I think I still have everything in the same position shown, but I'll need to verify before I post the file..

Hey, my bubbles are famous. :)

I really like the containers, mind if I pilfer them with alterations to put into the Glass UI?

Looks very nice.

Sure, feel free to borrow anything you want.. I got no problems with it since most of the stuff in mine was borrowed from Drakah.. hehe. ;)

ok, here's the ini file I used .. make sure to remove the .txt extension on the file before using it.. and replace my character and server info with your own ..
