eqclassic made leaps and bounds of progress on this idea, even having a functioning beta test that looked amazing
but from my understanding they hit a brick wall when SoE wouldn't allow them to distribute their client, and the project leader's only choice was to do custom content, which wasn't received well by the community he then had a legitimate meltdown and quit | ||

I don't think it was the use of the client (people could obtain it on their own) but more than he wanted their 'legitimate data' so as not to guess, research or wing it on what was classic and what wasn't? I think?

in this case retro isnt always best. needs to be polished up to have a more `baldurs gate` look to it. then i might be half way decent.

I dont think it was that bad, you got used to it quickly. TBH I remember having more problems with the velious UI than the classic stone UI

Remember that Velious also had its own UI, one that could work with modern screen resolutions. Its main deficiency relative to the Titanium interface was the continued use of a single chat window with only minimal support for a separate combat chatbox. Most players weren't using that 1990's-era periscope UI anymore by 2001.
Using wide-screen resolutions on the Titanium client tends to reduce viewable screen space because of how the game engine changes its display with different aspect ratios. As such the widescreen version of the original UI posted above is actually worse than the original UI, which was bad enough. Stretching the screen rather than altering the viewable real estate preserves view space but causes unwanted distortion. Danth | ||

/shrug, tried running eqmac classic ui 640x480 in 800x600 res and was super jaggy (ex. goblin arms looked like small stairsets), to a point where stretch screen would most likely be the lesser of 2 evils imo.
*edit* just looked back at the SSs here, maybe its just the older clients on newer comps lol
