I am in the middle of a complete rewrite of MiniUI so the SoD changes are not completed. I uploaded what I have so far of version 4.0 as a patch for the people that want some of the new features. You can also use version 3.1 and delete the EQUI_GroupWindow.xml and EQUI_TargetWindow.xml if you wish. It has most of the important windows. The changes are unfinished but, any feedback or bugs are still welcome.

You can find the patch at http://www.eqinterface.com/download....php?s=&id=5670.

Hey, this is a really great UI.. most of it is just what I want/need.. unlike all those UI's here that take like 1/3rd of the whole screen. I have one suggestion though! Would it be possible for the (4.0) TargetWindow to show the target on bottom and stack the buff icons on top of it? Would be glad for any hints on how to do it myself also, since i've been trying for a while already with no success.

I also found something which appears to be either a small bug or something yet unfinished (in which case, just disregard this paragraph!): It doesn't seem possible to target an LD/zoned member, like the default one lets you now. It shows a shade of the HP bar, but no name or whatsoever.

Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to check out the finished 4.0 version!

Thanks for the feedback. I attached a version of the target window that is flipped. I prefer it the other way, so for the 4.0 release I will just upload it separately as an add on.

The out of zone target names not being displayed is caused by a bug in EQ. The EQType for your target's name doesn't work correctly. I reported the bug. If its not fixed before the 4.0 release I'll make it work. Unfortunately it seems like I spend most of my time trying to get around bugs in EQ lol.

Version 4.0 has been released. Huge changes from 3. You can find more information at http://www.eqinterface.com/download....php?s=&id=4588.

*Future Plans*
I plan on releasing an alternate version of this UI with the hot buttons, actions, pet, and combat ability windows filled in rather than transparent.

Mods for mercenary, voice chat, and con circle.

The issue with the group and target windows is still there. The next version will address those bugs.

The clicky bar was removed from hot button bar one that you saw in version 4.0a, because I want to make it a separate window. That should be in the next version.

looking great man, awesome work you're doing there. i still love slim and functional look there.

when you're finished, will you maybe have instructions on how to "borrow" some of your ui elements? bandolier, tradeskill, map with white background (awesome!), item window, chat windows etc?

keep up the great work man, this is the best minimalist ui i've ever seen

Awesome work my friend!! Thanks for doing a UI with out all the vines, extra crap no one needs, only wants! I have a request, others do it with the first bag, but you have do it all alone if you want. Translunwrap did it all alone by itself but wanted to know if a window with all stats (like http://www.eqinterface.com/download...iew.php?id=9276) can be done easily enough. I was a loyal Translun using for years until, after being passed to another player after the orginal developer left game, was left by the way side after the first couple SoF patched that broke the ui.

I like the semi-transparent windows and the minimalist view. I am gald you are still working on this. Thanks a million!!!

Stoplaughin

Nice idea. I will add a stats window with the next update.

In other news, I logged on the test server and Sony fixed the bug with the group window being too large when you don't have a group member.

They didn't fix the target window yet though.

Updated to version 4.1.

Changed some things around slightly. The group and player window are probably the most visible. The group window being too large will be fixed in the next EQ patch. The target window not displaying out of zone targets should be fixed in the near future. You will get an XML error when you log in until the next EQ patch.

Added the clicky and stat windows as seperate windows. This is a new feature to EQ and I don't know of any other UI that uses it. Please report any bugs.

The modified bug report window can be shrunk so that just your X, Y, and Z position can be displayed. You can hit the loc button to update your position. I have seen some requests for this type of feature before.

More information can be found on the download page.

I don't plan on making any big changes for a while so please report any bugs.

I still plan on making a seperate version of this UI with most of the windows filled in. I should have that out in the near future. If its something your looking forward to and I'm slow about it feel free to remind me .

I don't see a custom EQUI.xml file in the UI you linked. You should be able to copy the unaltered EQUI.xml from MiniUI along with MUI4_Animations.xml, MUI4_ClickyWindow.xml, MUI4_StatsWindow.xml, MUI4MapDark.dds, MUI4MapLight.dds, MUI4Scroll.dds, MUI4WindBack.dds, MUI4WindowPieces.dds, and MUI4WindowPiecesDXT1.dds. Then you just copy any of the windows you want from MiniUI.

seems to be a little bit of a bug with the clickable area on the item link window from this last patch.

also i've been meaning to ask you a question about the container windows. the tradeskill windows rock, ty however i do have a issue with the aug bath window. when i click it originally, it will pop down in the bottom right of the screen (couldn't find it forever till i noticed the cursor change when i got down to the very bottom corner.) i moved it up to the center of the screen, closed it via the done button to make sure it saved the position but no go. each time i open the aug bath now, it saves the vertical position but its off the screen on the right.

ok the other issue with the aug window is the insert/remove button isn't lined up in the window for me. heres a screenshot of what i mean.



the buttons in the aug bath window are fine until you put something in them.

and since i'm pestering you this much so far, i was curious if there was a easy way to change the width of the spell/foci description text in the item display window? the text box is like 60% of the width of the whole window and with big descriptions its a pain to scroll to read all of it. if its a simple line change, let me know please

Nice UI I really like it, and have been looking for a good minim UI for awhile now.

A few things that you may or may not want to consider:

1. expand the target window to include target's target (putting both in one window makes it so that I don't have to click hott each time I log into the game.)

2. add a "lock" option to the bag windows so that I can put them where I want and keep them there.

And lastly a question: I cannot target myself to select "group roles" is there a special way to do this in your UI?

Korthiir

Ok another question. Is there a way that I can modify the "custom" windows (stats, and clicky window) so that they do not close when I press the <esc> key?
