If you instead create your own EQUI.xml that just has an "include" for ../default/EQUI.xml and then any additional XML files unique to your UI, when SOE adds a new window to the game your UI will automatically pick it up since it pulls from the default EQUI.xml file.


The reason T does this is so there are NO warnings in the UIErrors.txt file, not even "loading from default" warnings. So this technically makes load time faster. But the rewards are negligible compared to having to patch the custom EQUI.xml every time SOE adds a window (like you said Lodi Dodi).

Lanandor -
Is your custom UI folder in the right place? I'm wondering if you put the custom folder under skins instead of uifiles? Are you using the in-game /laodskin window, or the /-command of /loadskin lan? Are there any spaces in your custom UI folder name?

All you SHOULD need in your custom UI folder is the 8 modded XML, then use /load lan (assuming lan is your custom UI folder name) and it'll work.
