Cannot get a new ui to work
 

I know I must be doing something wrong...
Here is what I have done.
1. Selected and downloaded a UI to my desktop
2. Went to UIFILES folder in Everquest and created a new file folder using a one name word (newui)
3. Right clicked the UI I downloaded to my desktop and selected extract all
4. Selected the Newui file folder under UIFILES under Everquest file
5. Click next and finish after it was done
6. Log on EQ and type /loadskin
7. Selected newui and nothing happens just goes back to the new default UI

Is there something I am missing or doing wrong?

I would greatly appreciate any help thrown my way.

Thanks

what files are in the newui directory? long list of .xml, .tga, or similiar files?

Yeah there are .tga files in and a couple of file folders too

.tga = good (graphics files)

.xml = good (holds the information of where the graphics go

file folders = typically bad... well, not always, xml files ay say go look in another file folder, but need the xml files in this directory...

tell ya what.. please give me the link where you downloaded it, i'll give it a swirly, see if i can duplicate problem, and pass on a solution. That work for ya?

It is DeltaX on Most Downloaded UIs

Thanks a bunch

I am having the same prob i can't get DeltaX to load keeps going back to the default EQ UI

ACK! ok, tried it, had some trouble, but... first, is the DeltaXDoD the same look? (it's the more updated version... http://www.eqinterface.com/download...nfo.php?id=4341 )

2nd, make the DeltaX directory, copy everything from default_old into it

3rd, unzip the DeltaX of your choice (to the uifiles directory... it automatically puts them in a DeltaXDoD (or DeltaX if you're determined to use that one) directory and if using the DoD one, copy all those files to the DeltaX directory.. either way, if it asks if you want to replace an existing file.. YES! (otherwise you stay with the default)

problem seems to be with alot of UIs, they don't play well with the new default one :( as far as the windows arrangement, you're on your own :)

keep an eye out for an updated one dated after the other night's patch.

hope that helps.. if not, let me know please. If it does work, please let me know that too.. so i can quit watching this thread :)
