More than a quick fix for Default_Old
UI files patched 21.02.2006
For everyone who logs in today and finds out their custom UI no longer works here is the list of updated file for PoR release
copy these fron the default UI to your custom UI folder and that should fix the problem
gemicons01.tga (this file is not essential to update in Custom UI's)
EQUI.xml
EQUI_RaidOptionsWindow.xml
EQUI_AdvancedDisplayOptionsWnd.xml
EQUI_GuildManagementWnd.xml
dragitem34.tga
EQLSUI_CreditsWnd.xml
EQUI_AuraWnd.xml
EQUI_BlockedBuffWnd.xml
EQUI_BlockedPetBuffWnd.xml
EQUI_BankWnd.xml
EQUI_BigBankWnd.xml
There is an error in Bank and Bigbank windows that will prevent them from loading correctly you only need to fix 1 line in each file
XML Files are just normal text files so you can open them in any text editor, i suggest using notepad because some text editors will save extra info that EQ might not like
once you open the file use the replace feature under the edit menu
Replace
<DrawTemplate>WDT_Filigree</DrawTemplate>
with
<DrawTemplate>WDT_Rounded</DrawTemplate>
Take note that the Default_Old is no longer being updated but is still being patched
If you want to use Default_old you'll have to copy it to a new folder and update the files like you would any other Custom UI

So the don't updatet it no more, but they aren't taking it off the patching?
/sigh, SOE likes to make things difficult. I hadn't noticed as I use the patchme thing and haven't reran the patcher yet
Thanks for the heads up, as this will effect the ones that are downloading the quick fix I put up for those that don't wish to edit files.

This DOES work for SARS. Make sure you do everything, add all the files, edit the two bank files.
As you can clearly see, this is SARS UI. The pic shows fixed bank, blocked buffs, pet blocked buffs, and aura windows. I also have an example of the window that appears when you right click a buff (you have the option to remove the buff, view spell information, or add to blocked buffs{which also removes the buff}). Right clicking pet's buffs gives you the same options.
Hovering the mouse over a buff in the blocked buffs or pet blocked buffs windows will show the name of that blocked spell. Right clicking the image gives you the options to remove this buff (removing it from the blocked buffs list) or view spell info.

When you say copy those files from default are you talking about default old or new?

Tablets users skip the text in BOLD .... just copy everything else from the NEW default into your tablets UI file do the bankwnd and bigbankwnd fixes like stated and it will work perfektly

the problem is if you don't replace this file you won't have access to th Aura, BlockedBUff, and PetBlockedBuff windows, the EQUI.xml file is the include file and tells the game what files to look for

This fixed worked great for me. My only problem is i messed up on my one computer's, and am stuck with the terrible graphics for buffs and spells of the new UI. Would anyone know what i would have to do to get old UI graphics back?
Thanks

If you get errors after replacing the whole EQUI.xml file, then try just adding the 3 new windows to your current one.
After copying the 3 new windows from default into your custom UI folder ..
EQUI_AuraWnd.xml
EQUI_BlockedBuffWnd.xml
EQUI_BlockedPetBuffWnd.xml
.. Add them to be included in your custom EQUI.xml file.
- Open it with your editor (Notepad, mmED, etc.)
- Add these 3 lines at the bottom of the list with the others ..
<Include>EQUI_AuraWnd.xml</Include>
<Include>EQUI_BlockedBuffWnd.xml</Include>
<Include>EQUI_BlockedPetBuffWnd.xml</Include>
That should simply add in the 3 new ones for you without interfering with any customization you may have done to your personal EQUI.xml file.
Fatshawn ... Just go back into default_old and get the old gemicons and spells tga files for the old icon graphics again.
