Interface Features

So as everyone knows. We should be rolling with classic UIs:

Or with the Velious UI:

These UIs were excellent, and classic. They had certain restrictions. Restrictions which we are currently not bound by. After seeing the classicness that the devs were able to do with the compass, song and map windows... I'm wondering if you can work magic again to make this server even more classic.

Hotbars - We should be limited to a single 10-slot hotbar through the duration of this server.
Chat Windows - We should be limited to a single *but resizeable and filterable* chat window for the entire life of the server.
Percentages - EQ Interfaces weren't able to display percentages for HP/Mana/Stamina in windows until after the Luclin UI was introduced. IE late 2003
Mana Value - You shouldn't be able to display a mana value in your inventory window until July 2004
Combat Ability Window - We shouldn't have this yet
Buff Timers - You shouldn't be able to hold ALT or hover over individual buffs and find out how much longer they have.
Item Links - You shouldn't be able to look at/create item links. This was a September 2002 addition.
Makeleader - This shouldn't function until July 2002
Pet Window - This window wasn't added until July 2002
Cycle Target Hotkey - This hotkey wasn't added until April 2004

For 1,2,5,9,10 is there any way to disable these like you did the Map/Compass?
For 3,4,6,7,8 I'm guessing these are client side and tough to fix?

Lets get some non-classic UI features out of this box!

To build on this, a little bit, the /makeleader command shouldn't exist.

Unclassic CoTH chains.

Devs: Can the list in OP be worked on by anyone other than yourselves? Can we download standard eqemu code and try to work fixes for it or would we need the code base you folks use?

edit: don't forget ITEM LINKING!

Got to love Cucumber keeping it classic. What do you mean unclassic CoTH chains? You can't /invite people that you don't have targeted here last I checked. Could still Levant/Abscond as leader and invite people.

Would you do cucumbers? I'd do cucumbers, I'd do cucumbers so hard.

Anyone would do Cucumbers. The dude loves classic so hard. Just look at his big post record. He is confirmed ClassicQuesting Extraordinare. Haynar, can you give final confirmation here on Cucumber's status?

6 slot hotbar, not 10.

The classic UI from dualidentity (http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=117424) does that already so I'm sure there's a way to implement it.

I think 10 was Velious? Must research more.
