As of 19 DEC 02 - I am answering the following questions directly at the top of this thread, so maybe people WILL STOP SENDING ME E-MAIL ABOUT IT.

1 No, I don't have any screenshots. No, I am not holding them back, so that you have to send me a personal e-mail requesting them. Please, I have an inbox FULL of people sending me this question, combined from EQBeastlord and EQGUI posters. I am IN NEED OF SCREENSHOTS in case you still don't understand, I am unable to play EQ, for the forseeable future. My screenshots were deleted some time ago, and I need new ones. Please, post screenshots of the UI, I need one of each race, doesn't need to be filled with a ton of windows - just basic screenshots.

2 The UI should work with the latest patches as of this date. As I could not personally test the UI to make sure it was 100%, I am relying on other people telling me it works.

3 No, I cannot shrink, grow, stretch, pull, drag, recolor, or skin any graphics from the UI. That requires time and energy that I have to devote to Real Life.

4 If you want to use a graphic element from my UI, go ahead. I'm not gonna be stingy on the design, especially since I borrowed the layout of this UI from the Techno Donuts design done by Nibbuhlz.

5 No, you will not see me online in the game, no, I cannot give you any help on the UI from within EQ, because I have to focus on Real Life.

6 Yes, I can be a prick. Yes, I do go off on people who may not feel they personally deserve it. But please, before sending me an E-Mail, asking me something about the UI, see if it is something that has been beaten to death in the Message Forum Thread already.

As of 6 DEC 02 - download links work, 99% certian UI works in game as of all the last patches I missed.

Well, the time has come, the mod is completed as best as I can tell. A few things to note:

1. there is a ini file included in the zip. this file has my window settings, including my rather complicated hitsmode configuration that many may not wish to deal with. it is set for 1280x1024 - you can use it if you want (just rename it to your own ini file) and it will have the window positions lined up.

2. the graphics for both male and female versions of the inventory are found in subdirectories in the zip. just copy the .tga file for whatever version you want into the main folder. (male inventory graphic is the default graphic already in place)

3. Windows are rearranged from normal. I have moved the content of some windows into other windows for specific effects. As a result, you may get a little confused. Here is the rundown of what was changed:

Target Window moved to Player Window: Did this so that the flashy red box goes around the target, not the player when attacking.

Player Window moved into the Group Window: The group window's invite/disband buttons will show up around the edge of this window. Please note: there is a slight overlap with the disband button and the first person in your group. Do not be alarmed, and please be careful about selecting players by mouse click if that is what you do (I would recommend becoming familiar with the F2 - F6 buttons for targetting group members).

Player Stats are now the Pet Window: If you liked the pet command buttons, sorry, I didn't. all your vital stats are listed here instead.

Experience & Right-Click Items were moved into the (now empty) Target Window: they are tabbed, just click on the tab to switch between exp bars, which are 5x longer than normal, or the right-click window, which lists the right-click slots that should cover almost everything for a Beastlord.

4. Beastlord "by level" chart is now a seperate tab in the help window. Use the selector window to open the help window, and click on the beastlord table tab to see the chart.

New version - I changed some things around, converted graphics to smaller sizes, and have added a sort of animated epic mouse pointer to it. To ensure you don't keep extra files in your mod folder, please empty the old version's folder before unzipping this one - many .tga files no longer exist in the mod (and are now .png instead). I have noticed a slight improvement in framerate with the new mod from the older version. Due to the recent UI changes in the patch, I've had to simply release the current "Beta" versions of this UI to make it work correctly. Enjoy.

(I guess I should point out, since he's a moderator of eqbeastlord's forums and all.... the compass graphic that is included is Tipop's gold compass. Also the UIMaps mod from eq-toolbox.com is included in this [as I regularly use it, if anything to make a educated guess where I am at], and T.King's spell icons v. 1.04)

I have been redesigning the UI's graphics, as well as making changes people had told me they wanted to see in the UI as well (sort-of bug fixes) and have the containers & inventories to complete for this new rendition to be completed.

I've completed the inventory windows, took me a mere 18.5 hours to design the graphics, and edit the XML from the old version.
