First, can you post a link to the UI so I can actually have the files!

so, here is a screenshot of my somewhat modified haeldar UI, customized for 1024x1080 and it is AWESOME. it is missing, essentially, three things.

1. i would like the spell list bar on the left to be default size (slightly bigger icons) and vertical so i can arrange it on the left side of my screen

How much bigger do you need the icons? 50%? 100%?

Do you want a replacement or an additional window?

Again do you want it just free floating or in addition to what you already have?

Coding isn't an issue really,nps.

alright, first of all i love the fact that you called me by kirsten because it is the correct spelling of my real name which most people get wrong!

1. spell icons i would like 50% bigger, or, as a reference, match them more or less to the default spell icon size in the spellbar.

2. I need an additional window that i can move around. if it replaces the current one or not is actually not so important, so I will leave it up to you.

3. same thing -- definitely need a free floating one, but it doesnt necessarily have to replace the one down in the hp/mana/etc area

4. I came across another item -- the window that has the group, (bottom left) would be better rendered as a larger window that i can move around (the savokUI one was, for example, a solid one which i still use on my laptop.) have some ideas on that as well?

The name was a keyboard fail on the laptop - sorry.

And I still need the zipped UI files!

MiRo2 · #4 12-19-2010, 06:29 PM

I think hes referring to this UI.

I'm also terrible at editing UIs. I'm an amateur stumbling my way through what I can understand, I just have a lot of time and patience [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I tried on the spell bar, but I got stuck, and now my brain hurts. HALP!

I resized the images, smoothed out some issues from resizing on the graphics, edited the code, to resize, reposition, the gems, and remove the 9th gem.

This is what I ended up with

Resized

Yes, my spell icons are installed correctly, both the spell book and buff bar are displaying correctly, but spell gems are not. Spell gems work in my default and Solaria UI so not sure where the issue is. Spell gem offsets are set to 5,5 as I couldn't find a good spot without the actual Icon.

So here is the code for the EQUI_CastSpellWnd.xml and I have the .tga file as well, but forums won't allow me to attach, and imageshack won't upload it either [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

karsten · #7 12-20-2010, 04:08 AM

you know i actually had a similar issue with the spell gems displaying all wacky until I went and downloaded the "complete" default UI files off of savok's walkthrough. I am using the "classic" icons and once i went back and slapped those extra files it they display right.

Oh, also, wanted to just note again that with the spell list, i want to have the whole thing vertical so that I can put it along the left hand side of my screen (sorta classic style), i.e. each spell icon below the one before it, with the spellbook button below the 8th spell
