New UI/spell gem alignment

[nilbog]

You may now use the new Velious UI! It is vastly improved from the last version.

I had mentioned some of the features in the coming soon post.

The spells_us.txt file has also been overhauled. The alignment of the gems has changed, so modders, the spells_us.txt is being released in advance.

These files have replaced the old links in the Setup Guide thread.

You will need the following files:

Many thanks again to Savok. I believe he has premade custom sets of some of the UI available and he will be releasing them soon.

Enjoy!

thank you!

It may be me, but the graphic/gem pictures are all funky on this ui though.

For example, the SoW buff button is a disease skull image.

is it just me?

You need to replace the spells file, possibly while not logged into the game. Logging out and doing the file replacements fixed it for me.

Required upgrade?

Entirely optional?

okies, so if you're missing a hotbar wnd, just past the hotbarwnd xml file from previous ui into that new folder, and this should correct it, PLZ BACK UP ALL FILES!
also- i'm trying to do a work around on the CastSpellWnd - which is actually your spell gem window (spell bar) i had a nice small one previously and it had a nice lil context button for loading previously saved spells, tho i'm having trouble getting it to work, any ideas?

If I am using a custom UI (I use SARS), do I need to update anything? I know a lot of people are asking if this is a required update. If I update will it affect anything in my custom UI?

The only thing you have to update is the gemiconXX and spellsXX tga files, or the spells_us.txt file will pick out the wrong gem icon. I put up a basic version of the square buttons here that you can use as a template for your UI. You could release your UI with this template set until such time as you re order you gem icons.

So i replace all the files that you say i need, the eqchanges spells and the velious changes into the prospective folders. Yet, i cannot get to my character screen now. I get booted back to the log in area where i have to enter my password every time.

It worked great for and looks nice. I'm going to miss the little EQ button down in the corner now though. How do you change keybindings? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
