Right now on Test there is a massive overhaul on the systems for chat and other aspects that directly relate to the UI and custom UI's. There is no Custom UI that works on Test currently, even with modifications.

I personally use Vert, which in my opinion is just about the most bulletproof Custom UI in terms of patches. But atm I am getting massive UI errors. Currently I get about 70+ UI errors, this is 70+ different files, not single erros in a few files. I have worked and worked on fixing this errors but so far my efforts are futile, I have not even been able to load anything but the default UI no matter what modifications I have made.

When this goes live pretty much all Custom UI's are dead. So, if your modding a Custom UI, I strongly suggest you take the time to load onto Test in teh next few days and start to work on your changes. This isnt going to be a 2 file "wham bamm thank you mama" fix for anyone atm.

Live and Test Vert maintained by myself. Live is uploaded ready for patch day 99.999% of the time and Test is checked every couple of days.

This is typical impending doom , so far this has been the easiest upkeep in recent memory. All my uis run on test and the only thing I have done so far is update the animations file to allow for new changes. If you are pulling uis from the site of course they arent going to run because the changes have not went live so most authors are not going to update them until they do. Right now any ui I author simply needs the new animation to be up and running. I even have a ui that uses no custom animation file and it runs with no error on test.

Not impending doom, just the fact that for a week now myself and others have asked repeatedly in Test chat channels if anyone has gotten a Custom UI to work and no one has. Apparently Savok does though so I stand corrected.

It was more a heads up that up until these replies there hasnt been a UI that worked since the patch and no one up until Savok's reply has been able to get one to work.

Was simply posting to give others a heads up that things where going to break soon.

Halelen

would you be able to post your error files, so we may see what kind of errors it is causing

Savok

I need to remember to join general channels (on test and Nameless) more often. If there isn't an update on test in a reasonable timeframe you can always feel free to ingame email or PM me here and let me know.

Interesting. I play on TEST almost everyday. I use a custom UI that is based on Drakah's Intergrated Steel version that has been modified with Aya's Big bank window, Darkmatil's Group Window, Mortis Player Window by Darkmatil, A Spell bar window with descriptions from a UI that I don't even remember whose UI it came from.

All with no errors at all.

tried to use the ui you just posted in test and it crashed to desktop!

Ya That Would Be Because Sony In Their Infinite Wisdom Rearranged Some Of The Names Of Stuff In Their Animations Today So It Threw Custom Animations Off...will Be Fixed Shortly

what i was also going to ask if theres a way to actually keep the ui with the blue windows that was in my original infinity 2009 ui and keep the windows like the inventory window/group and player window and the buff /short duration and pet window and the hot button windows without changing those and or the chat window?But have it work with the new implementations and what not!

Halelen

they are still the blue windows are they not?? everything is blue to me..i have no experience with this ui that is why I didnt remove all the files I thought should be removed. The upcoming changes that are being talked about are not catastrophic or major ui changing basically they are adding some windows and adding some features to windows but should not cause anyone to have to alter the appearance of their ui.
