Its great that you show us what to change. Simply saying to rename this file as you did in your instructions means we can name it anything we want and that will fix the problem. Tell us exactly what to name it- show us an example of a changed name if you have to. Ive watched your reply to this throughout a few posts and the reason that people keep having this problem is that you are not communicating it clearly. That is why the problem still persists.

I don't know if I can make it any more simple... you have to do the same procedure for any other custom UI that has preset locations for it's windows. Read the first post more carefully, there is a clear explaination of what to rename the ini file and an example.

P.S. Hundreds of people are using this UI with no problems...

Is is possible that people are renaming the .ini file but including the 1024 or 1280? it should look like this UI_Rotlom_83.ini (in my case) notice there is no mention of the resolution in the filename. I think that Soes just used that to differentiate the two resolutions. I hope this helps

Edit - Select All - Copy Open up your existing UI_yourname_##.ini Edit - Select All - Delete Paste new info and save. Saves people the trouble of figuring out what exactly they need to rename.

sobek911 A Fire Beetle Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 2	I'm really having difficulty gettings this skin to work. I can load it fine if I don't copy the UI_charname_server file over etc, but as as soon as I copy over the file, it crashes to desktop when it tries to log in the char. Any ideas as to what may be causing this? -Sobekae Enchanter of Prexus

Did you delete the old version of the Soes directory? Did you make sure when it unzipped the directory was called "Soes" ?

Haderan A Bat Join Date: Feb 2003 Posts: 1	I dont know if this was mentioned but i was having a lot of problems getting this to work, then i went into options and turned sound on, and it loaded fine and works great now. I dont know if its just me or some UI requires sound on to work, but that is what fixed it for me.

Zasthak A Gray Wolf Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 5	same problem I was having the same problem crashing to desktop when I used the supplied UI file for resolution 1280, my sound was disabled. I enabled it and tried again and it worked. Go figure.

Dregoth A Bat Join Date: Feb 2003 Posts: 1	Maleick, Which line in the musicplayerwnd do you mean? The entire thing? I too am having problems with crashing to desktop with this UI ( I copied the 1024 file with my characters name and server, dropped it in the main EQ directory...deleted any other .ini file that had to do with my character, and still cant get it to work )

Maleick A Fire Beetle Join Date: Feb 2003 Posts: 2	Sound Problems If you notice in the default UI, if you disable sound from Options that your Mp3 player will not come up. In this UI he is forcing a Mp3 player to come up so those of us that have Sound disabled, it is causing us to crash. If you have sound disabled your MP3 player line should look like this : [MusicPlayerWnd] LastM3U=*** Playing=0 Random=0 XPos1280x1024=580 YPos1280x1024=78 BGTint.red=255 BGTint.green=255 BGTint.blue=255 Fades=true Delay=2000 Duration=500 Alpha=255 FadeToAlpha=128 Locked=false Just change it to that, or delete his line all together and you will be able to load up. EQ will change it to what I posted either way. Hope this helps Maleick Dark Elf Warlord Brell Serillis EDIT Soes, great UI man put somewhere that you need to have sound enabled or that they need to remove your Mp3 player line from the Ini inorder for it to work Last edited by Maleick : 02-28-2003 at 02:39 AM.

Jilazy A Fire Beetle Join Date: Feb 2003 Posts: 2	I'm also having the same problem with the pet window. Everything else is working fine but I am unable to move that window. I called the file UI_Sunnin_33.ini and as I said everything else works fine except for that one window pane.

BiffinIt A Fire Beetle Join Date: Feb 2003 Server: Solusek Ro Posts: 2	Uggg I'm having the same problem with your UI as I was with drakahs....since the LoY patch its really glitchy and juttery, (freeze for like 2 seconds at a time about every 10 seconds) people said to load the default UI and then reload the custom and it should fix it..no dice =/ anyone have any clue how to fix this problem, EQ is becoming unplayable cause of its freezing )=. Oh btw i thought it might have just been eq so i uninstalled EQ and downloaded all the patches again...that didnt help...so I defraged the comp, and that didnt work...maybe it has to do with the renaming of the .ini files? I followed the instructions perfectly it just doesnt seem to like me :/ please help if ya can ~Biffin
