Since verant added the song buff window selector icons to windowspieces04 noone can use thier custom compasses ...... SOOOOOO If you change your custom photo windowspieces04 to read windowspieces041 and go all the way to the end of your animations.xml file you see where it says to use windowspieces04 for your compass just change the number to read 041 and you can still use your custom compass. Thankies Allissiya Quellious

I changed the window pieces number from 04 to 041 and dropped the extra info into the animations file, but when I log in I am getting a compass window but it is completely blank. Any suggestions?

For a few hours on Thursday night the default compass was totally black but it repatched on Friday morning. But I don't see how that could affect a custom compass. __________________ Master Artulyn Starsummoner - 61 Arch Mage of The Dedicated on Bertoxxulous For the light of a candle to be seen, it must be taken to a dark place. -- UKLG

custom compass

I have cut and pasted a compass into the windows pieces04 file. I'll try to post it. I would give props to whomever made the compass, but I don't remember from what set i got it. If you have a file of another compass you would like added post a message to me and i'll try to get to it.

I chose this one because i liked the directional compasses. This one has the cool red (-) and green (+) symbols for the loc changes and it is a clean design in my opinion.

hope this helps someone.
