Ok, I've totally overhauled the interface, keeping only 1 of my mods - the spellbook (it's too cool, IMO). everything else I snagged from eqinterface.com or eqgui.com (eqinterface's forums) and mish-mashed it together. I like this one a LOT. (reload the page to make sure you got the current picture)

Normal display:

With Map, Inventory, and Spellbook windows open:

The round windows are part of a new mod being developed called "Techno Donuts" and are still a little buggy. the animal skin/spellbook is mine, the buff window is from eqinterface.com. the spell icons are being developed, and almost completed (many are still duplicated versions, the guy is making unique ones instead). The maps are actually my "Actions" window, and were released by eqtoolbox.not.net - so far, I've found a map that isn't included (Umbral Plains) but it has most likely every other one in the game. And yes, the guy in the middle of my inventory rotates. (I usually don't have the inventory, spellbook, and maps up on the screen lol)

I have modified the interface a bit, by making the hotkey buttons round, to match the rest of the interface, and have redesigned the spell gem window to be a simple round window with the gems around the edges of the window. The gems go in 2 columns, from top to bottom. 1-4 on the left, and 5-8 on the right. The spell book icon is in the center, and the spell casting bar appears just under the window when you are casting something (not actually connected to the window)

------
To make my hitsmode "window":


First I make a large "background" chat box

then I have 4 seperate windows listed there. 1 for my hits, 1 for me getting hit, 1 for others hits. I also have 1 on top that is all the "garbage" messages I didn't want cluttering up my main chat. I have the me and my boxes at font size 3, the others at font size 1, and the "garbage" at 2. I then position them on the background chat window, and make all the windows except the background have their background alphas set to 0, thus making them permanently invisible, leaving only the text. Thus, I am showing 1 nice, neat window there instead of 4 bulky, cluttered ones.


(note - the background window *must* be the first window made out of the set, or else when you zone, log, etc it WILL appear on top of the others, and effectively hide them)

This is great work xlorepdarkhelm! Do you have the whole thing in a zip file somewhere for download? I would love to use it for my shammy. I can hardly wait to see what you come up with next.

the inventory, player, pet, target, hotbox, and spell gem windows I cannot take credit for - they are part of the work in progress under the "beta" section of this site called Techno Donuts. I'm hoping that the guy who is working on that gets more of the windows that way, cause they are cool. The spell icons themselves come from http://pub37.ezboard.com/fmaximus94...opicID=74.topic. the spell buff box design comes from eqinterface.com ("Geddine's Buff Window" or something like that). and the maps are from eqtoolbox.not.net.

I'm still making some minor adjustments to the layout, mainly trying to get my chat and hitsmodes windows fixed where they are "pleasing" to my sense of asthetics.

DocRock

OMG I'm technically ignorant. PLEASE post how I can trasplant that into my machine. That setup TOTALLY rocks.

xlorepdarkhelm

Zipfile is coming soon.

HONTER1

HIya thats a vary nice spell book and inv is that part of dounts?

Technetium

The inventory is nice, but i do not want to see a penis staring at me when i open my inventory.

make it a nice nakid female pic and i might be interested.

xlorepdarkhelm

the inventory is part of the donuts mod, the spellbook is my own design. and the spinning guy is..... missing his genitailia, so as not to offend people. if you read the info on the donuts mod, he is working on a female one as well.

Qalen

you're uba friend - I really would appreciate a zip file of this

xlorepdarkhelm

The biggest problem with a zipfile is the sheer size of it. currently 5MB in size. The internet hosting site I use won't permit a file THAT big on their site, so I'm looking for other methods. I will include my UI_name_31.ini file, for quick, and easy integration, but be warned - I work in 1280x1024 resolution, and have several transparent chat windows on my display (for hitsmodes and things) that are...... difficult to adjust.


Once again, I can only take credit for the spellbook in this mod, everything else is credited to other people.

Also: to replace the spellbook with a different one, just find the spellbook mod you want, apply this mod, then apply the replacement spellbook on top of this one, which will replace the EQUI_SpellbookWnd.xml (or whatever it is called), and spellbook01.tga - spellbook04.tga files, and presto, no animal skin. The techno donuts has a interesting spellbook included with the mod originally, and replacing that one back in will give the full look and feel as was intended by the designer of the mod (I found that it was difficult to read the spell names on that spellbook).

The mod has also been fixed to work with the August 14th patch.


As the parts that make up this mod are in a "state of flux", IE changing constantly, I will most likely be adding in the changes and improving this all the time.
