Almost Classic UI

[Dr.Spike]

Crash fixes and stuff is done, everthing except the class icon seems to work properly.
i dident notice anything other then class icon that dident work
Do you find anything that dont work or anything that seems to be missing or something, post here and i will try to fix it when i got time or add it.

i recomend to use 1024x768 for best effect of the UI, the pictures is taken in 1024x768

update
Fixed the merchant/vendor and loot window bug
Fixed the crashes if you logout with the classic UI loaded and login
Fixed more hotbars (need to download the hotbar file)


Download Classic UI
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ROCT09D5

Download file to add up to 4 hotbars to the classic UI
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CSW16EO3

How to install more hotbars

1) Download this file http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CSW16EO3
2) Extract it to your desktop
3) Go to custom UI folder (ie. Everquest\uifiles\classic)
4) Copy the file you extracted from this file and past it in your classic map (ie. Everquest\uifiles\classic)
5) Enter game and load the skins and get up to 4 hotbars

Bug fix for crashing (thanks mixxit)

UI crash on zone bug. It appears the UI was attempting to load the cached data in UserData folder

Go into it and delete all files in there and the UI will work flawlessly

[hrafn]

is there anyway to add more hot button bars? like the single row long ones from the default ui.

[Dr.Spike]

yeah it is, i will see if i can do that next time im working on it :)

[hrafn]

awesome, that would be the perfect ui for me if it had 2 hotkey boxes.

[Brund the Decrepit]

VERY nice. thank you!

[guineapig]

Too hardcore for me, but I love in none the less!

Client Crash after char select 8(

[Malrubius]

You can turn off those 3D target rings ya know :D

[Dr.Spike]

Client Crash after char select 8(

when you have loaded it or when you have just extracted it?
need some more info about this please

[The Situation]

Why do people want a classic ui? I'll take usability over using a barely functional ui for no other reason than nostalgia.

[Windburn]

Very nice.

Where are the spell gems?

[Lordmalik7]

Playing in Faydark atm, and noticed that there wasn't as many noob pops as there was in the origional or doesn't seem like it. Just throwing that out there

[Humerox]

Classic noob pops were pretty much the same. They increased the spawn rate in newb areas later on in the game...don't remember when tho.

[Vandamwtc]

Awesome, i'm using it, but how can i get the proper class icon, instead of the backpack/warrior one?

[Aeolwind]

To make this UI or others more usable, use /viewport. It will allow you to reduce the size of your viewable game screen so your UI doesn't cover the viewable area.

[Vandamwtc]

I use the /viewport command, but what numbers should be entered to get it to work well? It explains the usage, but i can never seem to get it to work properly.

[Ferok]

I use the /viewport command, but what numbers should be entered to get it to work well? It explains the usage, but i can never seem to get it to work properly.

i believe its left, top, width, height. Pretty easy to tell by testing though.

Anyway, if your resolution is 1024x768, and you want to clip the bottom third of the screen off and dedicate that to chat windows, a command like /viewport 0 0 1024 512 will make it so. If you want to put narrow pane of stuff (like spell icons and buttons) up the left hand side, something like 50, 0, 974, 768 might do that for you.

HTH.

[mixxit]

/viewport 120 0 785 485 for the layout in the first shot @ 1024

Loving this, thanks for the post!

[mixxit]

hmm strange issue with pet symbol appearing above spell gems - any ideas?

Example of it: http://imagebin.ca/view/kjmTAV3.html

[Dr.Spike]

hmm strange issue with pet symbol appearing above spell gems - any ideas?

Example of it: http://imagebin.ca/view/kjmTAV3.html

i think i know what cause this, i will take alook on it when i get home at monday again

[mixxit]

i found out the issue was down to applying the project 1999 ui patch to fix the spell icons -
by not including the file window_pieces02 and just using the one in classic it was fine!

[mixxit]

ok it's almost perfect!

Remaining two issues:

1) You cannot trade with vendors - it just shows no icons in the vendor lists (i swapped to default to check it wasn't something else and it worked fine)

2) There seems to be some problem with the UI where you can only load it after you've come into the game with default. If you then try to play the next time you log in - you will crash to desktop when going past character select. I think some elements must be missing or something like that. To work around it you have to rename or delete classic and login then reload the skin. Gets kind of annoying everytime you want to play.

Other than that i'm really looking forward to using this full time! I just have one tiny suggestion though:

a) Make the spell book big enough to cover the viewport for a resolution of 1024x768!

[Scrooge]

That looks pretty good!

[mixxit]

3) loot window acts just like the vendor window problem (no icons)

anyone got an idea on this? trying to compare this to the default skin xml but i've never done equi before

[mixxit]

actually, loot seems fine ignore that

for the merchants:
replacing equi_merchantwnd.xml with the one from default will work around this problem

not sure how to get the slot version working but would like it if someone figures it out

[Dr.Spike]

im home and im going to check the UI now and try to fix most of the stuff requested.
Thanks for the reports mixxit, good work


Edit: Updated the UI now

[Dr.Spike]

download the new file if you want the update

[Isildur]

I am very interested in this interface, but have a couple questions. Where are the spell gems and am I able to split that one chat bar into three in order to choose what text goes where? Just don't want combat spam to ruin this possible UI for me!

[mixxit]

thanks, gonna grab the new interface now - loving this :-)

[mixxit]

still crashing on next load of client bud!

[Dr.Spike]

still crashing on next load of client bud!

that odd, i dident crash a singel time :S
need to recheck it then

[Murphy]

Is there a possibility of you removing percentages from every bar as it used to be? I.E. Exp bar, Mana bar, Health bar, Target bar and so on like the Japino ui?

[Dr.Spike]

yeah i can do it and upload a own version without any of the % if you like.
Dunno when, i will try and do it asap i got time

[mixxit]

that odd, i dident crash a singel time :S
need to recheck it then

It's weird. Whenever I log in for the second time with this skin loaded it will go past the loading screen then crash (the hard drive will read heavily for moment - i think this is something to do with the crashreport being generated)

I'm using basic titanium install no extras other than the files provided here.

What could it be! I love this skin so much!!! I need it!

Ok I finally found a fix to the UI crash on zone bug. It appears the UI was attempting to load the cached data in UserData folder

Go into it and delete all files in there and the UI will work flawlessly. This rocks thanks Dr Spike!

Maybe add this info to the first thread?

thanks for founding out what cause this bug mixxit.
Yeah i will write it on the first post so everone can see it.
Thanks for the help

[mixxit]

Gah! This will never end!

I am getting closer in that zoning doesn't cause the crash any more but still when I login for the first time it does this issue.

I am wondering if it's expecting a window or something that's not there when it's reading the UI Files?

I did notice tradeskill containers are missing (try the sewing kit) but if it's reading from my userdata it could be the NPCDialog save stuff they added or something similar. I'll tinker around and pull stuff in from detault and see what I can come up with. It's totally worth the effort as this skin rocks!

[mixxit]

Bump cause it's such a great UI!

[XegonyForever]

Thanks for the tireless work, Mixxit and Dr. Spike! This UI will do SO much to save this project's name from being a lie, hehe.

[toddfx]

Perfect! I am totally installing this when I get home. The newer UI is more usable in many ways I suppose, but I find myself arranging all my windows to exactly how they were in this stone UI, and am not using transparency on anything. I switch between multiple laptops and desktops between home and friends houses, so I am constantly having to rearrange my windows and such. Having this lockdown would be great for my own usability, in addition to the nostalgic feel.

Thank you, I have missed this since day 1 here on P99.

The only suggestion I have prior to testing, is it seems to be missing the character view when you open your inventory. I loved that front facing view to show what your character is wearing, as well as the small space to write a personal bio...though I don't remember if that bio feature was purely classic or if that came later.

Yeah, that was classic. Not sure how it could be implemented though (although like you, I haven't tried this yet).

[Zephys]

So if I were to download this UI would it still be as easy as it is to switch from it to the other UIs?

[Yellow]

i wouldnt see why not, but i could be wrong.

I can't seem to find my Userdata folder anywhere in the Sony directory. I used basic Titanium install as well... any ideas?

[BuzWeaver]

I do so miss the Persona button.

[Dr.Spike]

i dont support this anymore, since i have quit played. So i will not update anymore then it is now

[xxarthurxx]

Such a good UI :D

[DarkBlazeX]

So why is this a .rar file now? I can't load it unzip it or anything.

[Mcbard]

Download winrar or another program capable of extracting .rar files.

http://www.win-rar.com/download.html

[DarkBlazeX]

Any chances anyone has an updated version so that I don't get these windows to dissappear every time I log or hit alt+enter?
http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t125/Darwin368/Error.jpg

[DarkBlazeX]

Or possibly to change the persona icon from warrior to correct class :D?

[tocasia]

The window in the upper left that you circled is called the selector window. Mine was disappearing too, until I found out that I could toggle it on by pressing Alt W. I haven't been able to get the other class animations to display yet, though. I hope this helps.

[tocasia]

I was also having problems with this UI crashing the client while zoning on a Windows 7 machine. I would have to rename the UI file to even be able to login on the character again.

The UserData file was empty, so that wasn't the problem.

I solved this by changing the shortcut to run in Windows XP sp3 compatibility mode. Now it works fine, doesn't crash on zonein anymore. Hurray!

I love this UI, thankyou for making it!

[Savok]

I'm currently running through this UI to fix any errors (why you would want to play with this is beyond me).

[Savok]

I played around with the UI a bit today and I have decided not to mod it at all, its just too much hassle to try and make it completely the same as 'classic' and I don't think its worth my time for the amount of people who would actually use it.

[Humerox]

kudos for the effort, Savok.

:D

[Thetruth]

The truth is,

I'm going to be downloading this UI soon as I get home. Frikken bitchin!

[shuklak]

awesome ui! will be using this when I'm all set up!

[tocasia]

Ah well. Thanks for looking at it at least.

The main reason I'm using it is because of nostalgia. I became so familiar with the old interface and the classic spell icons that the UI updates changed the game too much for me; it just wasn't the same. I probably wouldn't be playing on this server if I didn't have this UI to use, it's that much of the experience for me.

Is there some reason this isn't worth using? Is some critical functionality missing? I can use /viewport to make it so that none of my screen is actually obscured by the opaque windows, and there are various things that can be done with the hotbars. What's wrong with it?

[Deadmantis]

I also love this UI, mainly for the fact that it does remind me of the early days, and I find it has all the functionality I need. I think it has a clean look reminiscent of the first UI in EQ. I run it at 1360 x 768 on my 32" lcd tv with plenty of room in the viewport.

It is also a popular UI on EQInterface.com so there are a few of us out there that like it, but apparently it is a hassle to mod, update etc. I have not had any luck changing the class animation or the spell gem icons but I am also very limited in my skills as a modder.

If I am not using the classic UI I use the Velious. Also reminds me of the older look and feel of EQ. I am just not a fan of the scrolly filigree junk of the default UI pieces.

[korzek]

First of all, I love the graphics of this UI it is just about perfect and a little extra stuff just to make it as good as other UIs! Thanks for all the work Dr.Spike!!!

Now to my questions, does anyone know how to make the spell icons correct? If I use the default ui the game works fine with the old school buff icons (I use eq emulator launcher and thats why they probably look correct). However, when I use this UI its still the old spell icons but... there the wrong ones. Skin like wood is being displayed as a haste, minor healing a shielding spell... its wrong for every class :(. Also necromancer pet spells have no icon and its impossible to put them on my spell bar without having to right click on an empty slot.

Secondly, since there is no spell book anyone know how to save/load a set of spells on your bar so you don't have to load all your main spells spell by spell every time you die or after finish buffing?

Lastly, has anyone found if the class icon is loaded in one of the .xml so we can just trade it with another .tga depending on what class were going to play?

[Savok]

1. The graphics of the UI only really lets you play in 1024 x 768 and honestly how many people still play at that resolution.

2. Delete the gemicons and spells tga files from the Classic UI folder. It will load the defaults and work correctly.

3. There should be a spellbook or you can't scribe your spells. Ctrl B is the default macro to open your spellbook. There are no spell save sets as its not really classic is it? Can it be added? Sure.

4. The class icon does load correctly, its just off the left side of the inventory window and isn't seen. The SK symbol you are seeing is from the selector window which is just using the bag/SK symbol as the press/pressed button to open the Inventory.

[erwani]

Can anyone confirm if this works 100% now ?

[erwani]

Ok not good.

It installs well and loads up well - looks good !

But it crashes the game upon zoning, and then the client at launch.

Had to delete the classic UI folder to get the game working again.

Looks exactly like I would want it, shame for the crashing :s

[bolly]

looks good except for the spell gems, tried using the one from the eqchanges - think i need a version for this though

anyone got? <3

[draylen19]

i can't get the spell gem to center in the slot, anyone know how to fix it ?, the default(new) one were fine, but the old one don't center

[Mirakk82]

I can't believe this hasn't been made a higher priority from this community. I'm super interested in having this UI, but it sounds like it's not worth even attempting at this stage of the game. Is this still being worked on?

[Arkanjil]

No it's not being worked on at the moment. :(

[Deadmantis]

I just started using this UI again, even if it is a bit buggy. Seems some of us still love it even if the majority hate it. I will probably grow tired of it at some point and go back to the velious UI.

If anyone else plans on using it I have a couple tips to pass on if they havent already been posted:

If you need a program to unzip a RaR file there are several out there, I use Free RaR Extract Frog.

After unzipping it into the uifiles directory, next be sure to delete the EQUI_MerchantWnd.xml file from the classic folder. Otherwise you may not be able to see or buy anything from merchants.

Then download the classic round gem icons from Savok:
Savok's Classic Icons Rounded zip file (http://home.comcast.net/~savok/project99/classic_icons_rounded.zip)
and unzip those into the classic UI folder.
This should give you classic icons that aren't an exact fit but they are pretty close and look better than the defaut.

Two things I can't stand about this UI, even if it is classic: I have to adjust the chat window apha settings to almost transparent so I can see some of the different color text, especially guild chat. Also the pet window isn't an exact fit into the UI. Other than that I still love it :)

So since megaupload is dead... can we get another link for this possibly?

[mixxit]

good question!

*Edit* Looks like DrSpikes is gone but I found the UI he based it on here

mixxit you been mia bro! :/ glad to see your still around

Oh hey :-) I like to keep an eye on the project every now and then between bouncing around other games/projects!

[happyhappy]

How would one change the buff icons to just big tagless icons?

*edit, also, what is the file for the option panel on the top left corner? i get an xml error trying to load it

[mixxit]

you would need to replace the buffwnd to the default one to have spells as floaty

the top left panel is the Alt-W buttons window

I know about the XML error, that's cause i removed group LFG buttons etc which the software expects in the group window but isn't appropriate to classic :-)

[happyhappy]

gonna try and tweak out the buff window to keep your background but just keep the velious ui icons, thanks for the tips!

while i'm proudly flaunting my obvious inadequacy at this UI thing, anyone found a good colorscheme for the chat text? cant seem to find a good classic feel, I remember all the white text was black but thats about it.

Yea theres a bunch of text i cant seem to be able to change, bright yellow and whites annoying the piss out of my eyes, the chat entry, target text, white cons, faction text.

[Danyelle]

lol at the chat windows on the second image.
>Rainbowdash says, 'I love you too.'

Now you guys will know how i feel about you every time you visit this page... i love you. Except that one guy

Thanks mixxit.

Much <3 coming your way man =)

[Zadrian]

Not sure if I remember, but I think I remember there being instructions on how to switch the bag icon to the proper class icon?

Been trying to click around, but can't seem to find it.

[mixxit]

Just to note, it was a serious bitch to do this - the client sends updates to the Inventory window not the game buttons (selector) window - so it would never receive any changes

So to get around it I needed to add the screen element in the inventory window and call that piece from the selector window

It also meant I had to position it in the inventory window off screen and then move all of the selector window along to account for the offscreen position - pain in the neck

[Zadrian]

You are a champion, sir.

if I could, I'd take you out to a movie and a dinner =)

[Zadrian]

Erm maybe you can help me with another issue...

Whenever I load this UI in full screen and switch it to 1024x768, it pushes the screen to the right (off of the monitor). Doing /viewport doesn't really fix it.. Not sure what the problem is as it doesn't do this with any other UI.

[mixxit]

not sure what you mean can you take a picture of it with your phone?

[Zadrian]

Never mind, got it fixed... Just had to auto adjust my screen.. not sure why it goofed on me and not sure why auto adjust fixed it, but I'm just gonna roll with it and not ask questions.

[happyhappy]

Anyone else experiencing zone/log in crash since they started using the UI?

[happyhappy]

yea definitely something in there making me crash on load, memory leak or something?

only happens every other time, but pretty annoying

[mixxit]

i used to with dr spikes version but not having any issues with the new one

[OneEyedJack]

This UI was working fairly well for me at first. Maybe a 30% crash rate upon logging in to a toon from the character select menu. But now it's a 100% crash rate. Seems to only happen to the toons I have that have loaded the classic UI. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[happyhappy]

I had the same issue, worked fine at first then it became impossible to log in any account with it enabled, seemed to only occur in populated zones.

Ended up just stopping using it altogether, sort of sad i really liked it :(

[mixxit]

best to post the error file

[robite234]

since megaupload has been taken down, does anyone have an alternative download link? i'd love to get my hands on this classic UI!

[norova]

I'll gladly re-host it on my server with the other P99 stuff if anyone has it.

[Danyelle]

Go back up a few posts, there's someone already hosting it.

[norova]

Ah, there it is. :)

I put it on my page too just in case that Dropbox ever runs out of bandwidth.

http://p99.yourfirefly.com

[robite234]

thank you!

[falkun]

Hopefully your month is almost up...

[Urbanzkopf]

Just put this UI on and it's banging on about my XML files not being compatible with everquest? half the ui is there and the other half isn't anyone know why this is?

[LittleSorcerer7]

Same thing happening here =(

[Sturgeon]

Can you guys provide more info for us to troubleshoot? It's a nightmare trying to solve if we know nothing.

What OS and service pack. What error do you get and what XML files are crying when you try and run it?


Also anyone that runs it fine can they share their OS and Service pack they run?

[Urbanzkopf]

Everquest runs fine, but only half of the classic ui is showing... The only thing we get to go off it 'your xml files are not compatible with everquest. Typee /loadskin default 1 to load the default ui' this is shown as the first line in the chatbox, apart from that i can still run around, use my spell gems but things like the targets window are cut in half kinda, i can grab a ss tomorrow but can't right now.

[LittleSorcerer7]

i run windows 7 premium service pack 1

[LittleSorcerer7]

and yeah it runs still, just the ui is only 1/2 there

[Miyumi]

Dude, that UI is awesome XD. But I'm far too used to 1920x1080 and Duxaui :P
Mad props! Hope you guys can fix it up! Keep up the good work! :D

[happyhappy]

try alt+w for the missing part, you probably have panels disabled that would be in there, like the biq ugly EQ button and stuff.

I tried running it in the past, it made me crash on every single zone/log in, can you guys zone ok with it?

[mixxit]

I know some 'incompatible xml' errors appear - most likely due to it missing various buttons like the guild hall button etc :) it should be fine though - not sure about the crashes but seems pretty stable outside of zoning at 1024x768

Notes
Alt - W to enable missing components

I'm a little spoiled by the newer looking UIs, so probably wouldn't use it personally. But I'm very impressed by your work on this. Keep at it! Definitely people who'd use it.

[happyhappy]

You sir, are a hero.

Can't wait to try it out.

[Mattius]

Can someone re-upload this for me? Link seems to be dead..

[Uproar]

I too would like this

[westtell4]

indeed i would like this re uploaded to

for everyone asking about the link its on page 11 posted by norova on his site he linked. its still up :)

LOVE IT

[aaezil]

Why do people want a classic ui? I'll take usability over using a barely functional ui for no other reason than nostalgia.

Live eq is more “usable” than p99 in virtually every aspect. Go play that.

[bthommes]

Any way we can get a updated link to download this UI?
