Make this happen.

[Knuckle]

I like to have more than a 5inch viewable window of the world personally.

If you pressed f10, it would be fullscreen.

Server will be released when it's ready. If you're referring to the UI, you release it, and we'll use it. As it stands now, it's not possible. That may change in the future.

This is unfortunately true in a lot of aspects. Everything we have fixed to date will be available from launch.

Can we help?

Make it happen bros, classic

Does anyone have the files for this classic UI, or an orig eq disk or anything that i can use to take a look at it???

I've been considering tackling this project for a long time.

There's a Velious UI floating around somewhere that's pretty damn close to the real thing. You can't get that horrible ultra-classic UI with the five-inch borders that looked like everything was roughly chiseled out of stone, but who would use that anyway?

People who want CLASSIC everquest, like this server is meant to be?

I have the Kunark disc somewhere. Maybe it has it.

That horrible UI you refer to is the one we're talking about :P

You weren't forced to see the stone borders all the time.. f10 switched between no UI, transparent UI, and stone UI. Transparent UI was when you didn't have inventory or options up. (similar to velious)

If you pressed f10 again, you would see this screen.

Opening Inventory or Persona looked like this.

I really miss that UI.

I've tried to recreate it in WoW but i can't find a way to get the textures imported to kgPanels or some other art addon

[Arclyte]

I have the original Kunark CD, if that's useful at all.

The best effort to reproduce the classic ui in XML is found here: http://www.eqinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=4726

That UI is usable on p99 with only some slight modification. I'm researching the things that are not possible with out (I think) some server side modification. (Character mirror in inventory, f10 to swap styles, ect.)

[Lasher]

UI was awesome for seeing underwater

[Knuckle]

i like the transparent one except i dont like that i can only have one hotbar key. the classic ui inventory does give me fuzzys in the belly though.

[JayDee]

I remember not being able to see a fucking thing on my erudite and having to turn gamma all the way up to blinding solar flare levels

[georgie]

disable keybinds = gg

[Nyrod]

the fucking inv/mirror has got to be one of the coolest fucking things, being able to look in 1st person and at your toon, man that shit was awesome

[Rust1d?]

I have the original EQ CD from back in 1999. Not sure if the UI can be extracted from that. I remember a while ago when a server came out that required just Original EQ/Kunark/Velious CD's. Was just a testing server but it had the original tutorial etc working. That tutorial was bad ass.

was that the tutorial where u play as a cleric or some shit? cuz i remember playing as a cleric on some tutorial i forgot long time ago

I pulled the classic UI out from the original CD months ago - the issue here is the serverside software which isn't based on 'classic'. Lots of features have been turned off (and even more can as well - hotbars 2 to 4 etc) if the devs can find the code to do that.

The XML code is completely different from what it was for classic and I don't think it would even be possible to go back to the first style at all. Like someone said there is a classic looking UI out there but its no where near perfect unless you like playing at 800x600/1024x768 crappy resolution because of the way the windows are put together.

Here are the bmp files, good luck: Link (http://home.comcast.net/~savok/oldclassicuibmp.zip)

For a True Classic Experience bust out your 1ghz pentium c gateway/dell PC from 2000 with voodoo graphics and highspeed dial up connection.

hahahha. I thought i was all the rage with my overclocked celeron and vooodoo 3 video card with a cable modem. come get some

voodoo 3 vid card = jolt of nostalgia

The only way the original UI could be usable is if it was fully reinvented so that it can actually scale correctly to different monitor resolutions. It can be stretched and skewed 640 X 480 crud.

I always played in that mode. I liked seeing everything without any information boxes hiding orcs from view! Plus it just feels fantasy style with those rocky textures and cloth.

Get it while its hot and be fully immersed in everquest.

Is there a way for the classic UI to be implemented for this release? I mean if we are going to go classic, it is all or nothing IMO.

thanks, just saved me a bunch of time. I still want to go in and poke around in the code. If its possible to make this UI viable with some server side help we should def. look in to it.

It will have to be in XML, but scaling it shouldnt be a problem (thanks photoshop!). Savok are you on irc? hit me up!
