I'm working on a mod for players that play in 800 by 600..this is what i have so far...

I used the dark background from kaoriv4, and darkened it a little more with Adobe, I also used the XML for the Window Selector from Kaoriv4.

I removed the borders from the chat windows, Hotbuttons, group, and player info, and buffs, and also made the buff window so it isn't transparent.

Also made hte target window so it only appears when you have a target.

And of coarse TKing spell Icons, and Spell Bar, and Spell Cast time bar.

The spell book is still the same spell book from default, but I removed the background.

Now what i am trying to figure out is how to make the hotbuttons smaller so they can fit more with a 800 by 600 screen.

The attachment is what I have so far hehe :P

Thats alot of work
Its not that diffulcult just time consuming.
Well here it goes:

Copy EQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml to your custom UI Folder
then open it.
Look for: (This is for normal Hotbutton)

<Button item = "HB_Button1">
<ScreenID>HB_Button1</ScreenID>
<Font>1</Font>
<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
<Location>
<X>2</X>
<Y>20</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
Change ->>>> <CX>40</CX>
Change ->>>> <CY>40</CY>
</Size>
<Text>1</Text>
<TextColor>
<R>255</R>
<G>255</G>
<B>255</B>
</TextColor>
<DecalSize>
Change ->>>> <CX>40</CX>
Change ->>>> <CY>40</CY>
</DecalSize>


Do that for each hb_button 1-10.
You'll also have to change the <Location> <X> and <Y> to put them where you need them..



Then find: (For Hotbutton with Inventory box in it)

<InvSlot item = "HB_InvSlot1">
<ScreenID>HB_InvSlot1</ScreenID>
<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
<Location>
<X>2</X>
<Y>20</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
Change ->>>> <CX>40</CX>
Change ->>>> <CY>40</CY>
</Size>

Do that for each hb_InvSlot 1-10.
You'll also have to change the <Location> <X> and <Y> to put them where you need them..



Then find: (For Hotbutton with Spellgem box in it)

<SpellGem item = "HB_SpellGem1">
<ScreenID>HB_SpellGem1</ScreenID>
<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
<Location>
<X>2</X>
<Y>24</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
Change ->>>> <CX>40</CX>
Change ->>>> <CY>32</CY>
</Size>


Do that for each hb_SpellGem 1-10.
You'll also have to change the <Location> <X> and <Y> to put them where you need them..


then to make the window smaller find:

<Screen item = "HotButtonWnd">
<ScreenID/>
<Font>2</Font>
<RelativePosition>false</RelativePosition>
<Location>
<X>0</X>
<Y>230</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
Change ->>>> <CX>95</CX>
Change ->>>> <CY>250</CY>
</Size>


The location here tells it where to appear on screen
you really don't need to change that cause you can move the
window ingame

Hope all that makes sense and helps

</Gauge>

Just not sure what I am missing for the mana section =/

Talyns

Each label needs a Unique Name...
So change
<Label item ="PW_HP%Number">
to
<Label item ="PW_Mana%Number">

and

<Label item ="PW_HP%Sign">
to
<Label item ="PW_Mana%Sign">

Does it say error loading.. Using default?

If it does in your main everquest directory there's a file called
UIerrors.txt.. If you open that and clip and paste it here I will
be able to see exactly whats going on.

Talyns

You'll also have to change the
<Location>
<X>###</X>
<Y>###</Y>
</Location>

For each Label so they don't all display over each other..


and add:

<Pieces>LABEL_NAME_U_DECIDE_2_USE</Pieces>

Above:
</Screen>

For each label you add..





Edit: I attached a playerwindow with all the % added..
