Updating the UI - A walkthrough with pictures.

[Stelletti]

I know this is off the top of Savoks great work. I was wondering if its possible to use other UI's that are out there. I have been unable to get anything else to work with P99. I always get XML errors. Anyone have any luck with anything else?

[Savok]

Any custom UI will work but I took a day going back through the default UI removing windows and other xml code to clean them up and then spent a good morning fixing my Vert UI so that it is compatible with P99.

Check the uierrors.txt file and look for the entries that start with Warning: as these are your windows that need fixing first. Anything with an Error: line basically means that something is loading that the client server doesn't understand and just rejects it.

You should use something like examxml to compare the default and custom ui xml files to see if you can fix the warning/error messages.

Soo i stormed around the forum dozens of times and still cannot find a stable link to a classic UI like in 1999 anyone have a direct link? Mirithals classic mod doesnt work unzipped it into a folder called "Classic" in UI folders when i load it in game it freezes for a second then informs me the ui did not load and it reverted to default : (

Love the UI, just have one question. I'd like to put the buff duration timers on the buffs, but it's been years since I've done lua modding. Do you know off hand the code required to show the buff durations? I don't mind tinkering with the xml files myself, just need a hand getting started with the code. Thanks!

Would it somehow be possible to see the exp displayed with percentages in the old default UI?

Hi, great work on the UI stuff Savok. I hope I am posting in the correct place for this, please redirect me if I am wrong.

I installed the two downloads above to update the default UI, and make it compatible with this (p99) emulator, and noticed, playing a necro, that the spell icon for Clinging Darkness has the "red hand" icon of undead DD's. Any chance of a fix?

Thanks in advance.

Spell gem set f: original 23 spell icons, there is no undead hand option. It may of changed around Luclin when they expanded the icon set but not classic.

In the main user/inventory window, it shows the Percent of experience now (which is awesome! - using the Velious skin and about half of the Velious Extras). My question is, is it possible to put a decimal place so it would show xx.x experisnce? (95.7%, etc). At the level I am at I get less than 1% XP now so it would be nice to know if its 0.5% or 0.8% etc...

Thanks for the information Savrok, maybe you can help me. When I played EQ99 the first time around I had a UI that looks like the "Default" with the 2x5 vertical hotkey panel from "Default_old".

That's ALL I want to change on my UI. Is just get the vertical 2x5 hotkey panel back. When I logged in this time it's the default UI, which is great, but I can't swap from the horizontal 1x10 bar to the vertical 2x5 in any way that I can see.

I tried loading up the "Default_old" ui, but it just doesn't look right either. How do I make it look like it did a couple months ago? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Really appreciate all the hard work you've done, Savok, in getting us this UI available!

Has EQ ever shown the mana levels of group members? If so, is it something that can be shown in this current version?

Also, is there a means to show the concrete amount of mana available to myself, as opposed to a percentage, without opening up the character screen (i)? On my cleric, I don't much care about a stat like ATK, but if I'm LOM, knowing if I have enough mana to cast a larger heal is useful.
