Heya,

Just coming back with a progress report. Large gauges are a PITA lol.

This is bringing back memories of doing my own large gauges, I'd forgotten how much of a nuisance they are. Gauges don't scale the same as other UI graphics. The gauges only display at the size the graphics are, regardless of how big you set the size of the gauge itself. And graphic filesizes in eq are limited to 256x256 (or at least they used to be). So the reason Egras and all the others only have bars at that size is because that's pretty much as big as they go.

However I'm a stubborn bugger, and there's usually a way of bodging things. I've got a couple of idea and I'll be playing more this weekend, just letting you know that it's not forgotten, just taking some time

Myx
