Velious99UI - Green Server UI - Feedback/Bugs/Discussion - Page 40

I was thinking about picking up P99 again, but still having this Locked UI since launch is keeping me from giving it another shot. Having bought a monitor with a higher resolutions than before, its gonna look even worse for me than it already was. As i said before... The Velious UI was amaizing when we all had 800x600 resolution, that extra visibility was needed. Now that we have 1080p , 1440p, 2160p 4-16x the screen size, it feels empty.

Go to a thrift store and buy an EQ monitor.

Hmm iirc green has a folder inside of it that cant be altered from the patch files? Im not sure I can't remember.

Is this the right place for a /Bug report? If so...

This has already been reported on Blue, but I'm reporting it on Green, as it's still happening.

Quest is "Scarab Armor Quests" in Kaladim. You should be able to get 3 x unique (and horrible) pieces. I got the boots. Turned in the items/money for the Boots, they vanished, I got nothing. What can I do about this?

May not seem a lot of money (17g and some items) but I've only just started, so it's a lot to me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Try this section:

You can petition a GM for reimbursement but as far as the bug this thread is just for UI updates and feedback.

GL!

When i first heard about green/teal. was really looking forward mostly to the UI..

Now they spring this Velious design on us.. no one cares that SOME of it was accessible by rubbing a genie bottle three times back in 1999.. No one ever did.. no one.

So if it was classic that was the goal, shots fired, none injured.

What was NOT classic, was a lockdown of the UI.
There are more than a handful of people that have already created a classic ui, I have no clue why this was not implemented.

We all get it though.. this whole thing is ran by volunteers. so I mean no disrespect when i say this.
Everyone wanted classic and sacrificed a lot of time put into blue, to come to teal/green to obtain velious.
I would suggest either unlocking the UI. Or allowing outside help on the classic ui.

Sorry if this sounds douchy.. but it kinda matches the UI all of us have to look at (or squint)

EDIT:: LOL reading what i wrote, doesn't sound too pleasant. So.. sorry?
There may be some elements at play here that i do not understand or know about. So if that's the case, and it's humanly impossible to return the UI to what we all want, Then i apologize.

I was actually messing with a classic ui last night trying to get something to work, and while I couldn't get the skin working on green (You guys REALLY have that on lockdown) I was able to get something that works for how I want to play EQ, even if it's a bit ugly.

I'm using https://www.eqinterface.com/download...fo.php?id=4726 this skin, and before someone jumps in saying "That's not the original UI!", I'm aware it's not, but it was as close as I was gonna get. The skin itself didn't work, but the ui_character_server.ini that was bundled with it did. The result was this:

It's ugly, it's 1024 x 768, but it's better than having my chat covering the game and ruining the first person experience the game was designed for.

Hehe fyi the I think ini you speak of is just coordinates that tell the game where you last put the windows and like that reso hack cords etc.

So if you move your windows around, they will remain where you moved them next time you relaunch (unless you crash out iirc)

You could make all the necessary adjustments to increase your resolution and adjust the position of your windows etc if you want to increase that from 1024!

scoutkirby · #10 03-20-2020, 02:01 AM

That's the correct ini, yes. I'm insane so playing at 1024 isn't an issue for me, though it's good to know for those who are interested. The point I'm trying to make is that this proves that making a classic or classic inspired UI for Green isn't impossible; that said, it's something the devs would have to either allow or implement, and it would still take plenty of work to implement.

Of course this likely would be designed for a 4:3 resolution like 1024x768, but I'm pretty sure people who are clamoring for the classic ui are already playing at a low resolution like that as to not strain their eyes with small text, though I can only speak for myself in that regard.
