Grygan

UIGrygan v2.0
22/11/2002

Hi friends, and thank you for your patience and your support. Here it is, and I hope it will be working as well for you as it is for me...

I have been quite busy in the meantime and as you may notice on the Screenshot, I have finally finished my Epic! Yes, I didnt think it would be possible but here it is... Thanks to my Guild who helped me all the way and to all my friends in game who made it possible.

And now on to the Whistling Fists ;-)

>> NEW <<
The UI should now work correctly with all the new patches, and not display any error message while zoning.

2 new maps have been updated in the Atlas. The maps of Velious and Luclin now include a detailed view of EVERY zone, with locs of all important points. Thanks to mapmaster255 for his extraordinary mapping work, and the quality of his work.


DESCRIPTION:

This is a monk-friendly UI based on the work of Vertebrae and a few other people, then tweaked and re-tweaked to suit my particular taste/needs. Feel free to play with it...

DOWNLOAD:

Get it here!

>> NEW <<
This is still the link to the old file... My new one should be called UIGrygan2.zip and be available as soon as they let me upload it, and validate the file.


INSTALLATION:

This UI's specificity is it is custom built to fit in perfectly in 3 resolutions: 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1600x1200.
I am also providing the UI_YourCharacterName_XX.ini files, so you don't even have to move around windows, choose fonts, place hitmodes, etc.
EVERYTHING is already in perfect position to produce (I hope) the most convenient and readable outlook.
Therefore a bit of preparation is required:

If necessary:
0.1 launch EQ and switch to the desired resolution
0.2 exit to desktop

Install:
1. Download the UIGrygan.zip file
2. Create a subdirectory of your Everquest\uifiles named grygan
3. Extract all the file inside UIGrygan.zip to this directory
4. Inside the Everquest\uifiles\grygan directory, find the file UI_Grygan_41_1024.ini (or 1280 or 1600 depending on your desired resolution)
5. Fopy this file to your base Everquest directory
6. Find your own UI_Your CharacterName_XX.ini file, and rename it UI_YourCharacterName_XX.bak (just in case)
7. Rename my UI_Grygan_41_1024.ini into UI_YourCharacterName_XX.ini
8. Open your eqclient.ini file and change the line NewUI=default (or whatever old mod you were using) into NewUI=grygan
9. Launch EQ and enjoy!

I dont use much individual zone maps when online, I tend to prefer to use the detailed paper version for this. However, I do like to have rough zone outlines, portals, soulbinders, banks, and zone connections maps available to me online. So these are the perfect maps for me.

>> NEW <<
The brand new Velious and Luclin maps include a tremendous amount of detail, ALL the zones, plus all the locs to the important points: banks, soulbinders, portals, zones...

Inventory:
The Autoequip area is hidden behind the stats. Just drop your equip there and it will be automatically added to the appropriate slot
