EQInterface Forums - View Single Post - Someone please Hijack this UI (Drestin)!

Alright, well I have created a fixed version as well. Not just a patch but a new version. This is what I have done different from the original Drestin ui....

1) Renamed it thoth. ( I did the work and changed things to make it my own. I intend to keep supporting this ui from now on )

2) Removed all unnecessary files. This should cut down dramatically on errors after new EQ patches.

3) Corrected the zip issues, simply unzip to your ui folder and it will create it's own folder ready to be loaded in game.

4) Removed the pre-set for 1280x960 (or whatever) resolution. The ui is still best used at a 1280x1024 resolution due to window sizes and icons, however the viewable window is NO LONGER cropped at the bottom. Meaning the entire monitor screen is used as viewable space and the ui is just sitting on top... you can fade transparancy to view as much or as little as you like under the ui.

5) Removed the ranged/ammo click buttons from the "clickies" buttons under the Hot keys and replaced them with arms and feet click slots. (I'm a SK, I have little need for a bow)

6) Updated the read me file including new directions on how to install the ui without having to worry about future updates breaking unedited windows.

I've contacted Kudane about getting it submitted for everyone and as soon as he has it up I'll post and let you all know.

Thats it for now, hope you all enjoy!

Good Hunting!
