* Documentation
Taken from my description in the downloads area:

A true mix of Vertebrae, T.King and Remelio, Drakah

I began working on this version (previous ones were only private works) when T.King and Remelio released their Standard Stone inventory. I originally started with Vertebrae's UI v2.2 as a frame. For this version, I added pieces from T.King/Remelio's works, Drakah's UI Mix v1.0a, and some of my own art and coding. They all deserve some credit for this.

This UI also comes with T.King's Standard spellbook (seamless version). His current spell buff icon files (v1.04) were too large to include in this zip file. You can find them here: http://pub10.ezboard.com/fmaximus94...opicID=74.topic

Special thanks to Gendal and his excellent SidlWidl program (Everquest SIDL [xml] editor). It is unfinished and currently in its v0.2.9 Alpha stage, but still very helpful. You can find more info about SidlWidl at http://www.sidlwidl.com

* Important Notes
* The class animation in the EQUI_ActionsWindow.xml file included with the UI is set to 07 (Monk). If you aren't one: delete it. Then, open the /Alternate/ folder that comes with the UI. You'll find your class's file. Just re-name it to EQUI_ActionsWindow.xml and move it out of the folder. You'll also find one without a class animation if you prefer that.
* The long compass bar that is found at the bottom of the screen in the screenshot may not work in resolutions lower than 1280x1024. If you run the game in a lower resolution, I recommend using the EQ_CompassWnd-Small.xml located in the /Alternate/ folder. Just re-name it to EQ_CompassWnd.xml and move it out of the folder. You can preview this window at the top of the screenshot.
* I have included two optional setups in the /Alternate/ folder. The one from the screenshot is the caster setup. The melee setup just moves things around a bit to occupy the space that is left open from not having the spell casting window open. If you use mana, I suggest using the caster setup because the only mana gauge is located in the spell casting window. If you want to use one of these setups, rename the file to UI_Yourname_XX.ini where XX is your server number, and move it to your /Everquest/ folder. *Important: These setups are only for 1280x1024, they will not work otherwise*

* Edits
* Forgot to mention something about the hotbutton window. It might not be compatible with CCake, (the program that comes with Vert's UI) I havent tried. The slots for the two tabs on the right must be manually changed. A hotbutton window without extra tabs is available for download -> see October 1st news.
* Also, the friends window is in fact the pet info window. This is not accidental. I moved all the pet hotbuttons and the gauge to the friends window because of Arista's timers and other uses for the pet window that require tabs. Since the friends window is not compatible with tabs, you can now use her timers in the pet info window and still see pet stuff.

Have fun

I love this skin too! But I have a question...

I use the briar wand pointer from T.King./remelio. I've been able to use it with my other skins with no problem. I tried to change it to use with your skin, no success. Is there any way you can tell me how I can so I would be able to use the briar wand instead of the natuerdef? Thx so much, great work

Keldrane

Could you send me your modified version? I play EQ in 1024x768... or even post it maybe for others?


Thanks

Keldrane

Ohh, I thgouth you changed the size of certain windows in the xml. hehe.. Ill be waiting for the screens

Kaori

In the EQUI_Kaori.xml file you will find the cursor definitions just like it were the EQUI_Animations.xml file (they happen to be about mid-way through the file btw). I moved some things here to make it more organized and give proper credit. Like the EQUI_Animations.xml file, this file contains things that are shared between multiple windows. If you don't find something in the EQUI_Animations.xml file, it's probably located here.

Just tried out this mod you made, >VERY< well done I must say!
The other day I was thinking how it might look to have the #'s on the bar that goes across, heh!

I will use this mod for a bit and give it a whirl =p

Few suggestions I would like to inquire, if you can -great!- if not, oh well I asked =)

1) Color borders around spell gems in the spell window. Seems to be missing.

2) Name tags for Resists and Normal stats on the "cap bar" are different sizes.

3) Whats the "100" for on the left side of the target window?

4) Perhaps for the ones who like the compass on the "cap bar", maybe mod the Pet window to have the "Stats" underneath that is the same size in height as the Hotkeys/Spell Window?

5) Add Stamina to player window if ye shrink the HP #?

err I think thats it .

Awesome work!!! and thanks for the credit too =)

Kaori

1) I'll look into this

2) The normal stats labels are actually graphics that came with Vert's UI. He also included resist label graphics, but they were fairly large and looked funny on the compass bar. I'll try shrinking them down and see how they look.

3) Your HP%

4) Good idea

5) I took the stamina gauge out of the player window because it took up space and some people prefer not to see it. It's now located at the bottom of the actions window. That space was left blank in Vert's UI because he made that window the same height as the hotbuttons window. I liked the idea of keeping it the same size so I just filled up the space.



You're welcome!

EDIT: Woops! I forgot to mention a few things about the UI, edited the main post at the bottom.

Drakah

oh btw, tkings icons for "normal" size arent in the mod, only the small ones. /shrug

Having a problem with the cursor (Love the UI by the way)
Wanted to try and get back the original cursor so 1) I didnt' put naturedef (or whatever it was called in the folder (Im assuming this is what the long sword curser is called) : ok..this didnt' work. there was a cursor present but only could see it when it hit the edge of a border
then 2) i looked in another folder and pulled out a .tga file called mouse ( i thought this was the one needed for the cursor and put it into the folder: same effect as last time. 3) put the natursdef in and it worked ..just with the long sword instead of what I was hoping for.
So asking anyone who might explain what Im doing wrong and help me get cursor back to default
Thanks for making this by the way...(Ive been through wayyyyyy too many mods...think Ive finally found one that I can settle down with for ALL of my characters, has everything I was looking for )

Heya, sweet UI. I really like it alot.

But the XP and AAXP bars are a bit too dull...seems to blend in with the background box. Maybe it's my monitor but I'm finding it hard to look at my progress in game. Maybe you could lighten it up a bit?

Aside from that...is there a way I can use another buff bar on your UI? I tried putting in another one but I doesn't show up. Any ideas?

Other than that, it's a superb UI. Thumbs up from me.

Kaori

Copy over your mouse.tga file from your default folder. Go into EQUI_Kaori.xml and change these lines:



Then add these lines:



Let me know if this doesn't work

Kaori

Open EQUI_PlayerWindow.xml in wordpad or notepad and find the word Player_ExpGauge. You'll see:



Increase the 50 and 200 (max you can make them is 255). Do the same for Player_AAXP. That will make the color brighter

Averad

love the ui but there are a few things that bother me and I wish they could be changed.

1) The pet window doesnt work for me (friends window)
2)I wish the inv hotkeys window Didnt have the right clickables because your missing one inv slot (that blows)
3)I would like to have my pets hp under mine (get rid of those huge ugly hp numbers the hp% is enough)

If I could get one thing changed it would be a non rightclickables version.Next would be a working pet window then my pets hp under mine (get rid of those ugly hp numbers)

Also how do I remove the sword curser I removed it from your xml file but now im left with a smaller sword.
