New UI sakui - Classic style for 1080* resolution

[Sakam]

Here's a secret:

Did you know you can play with the original UI in 2022? Just not in P99.

You see, the source files for my interface were taken from a bunch of screenshots in The Al'Kabor Project. Turns out you can go into the configuration files and change it to use the old one.

It's not practical, but it's a way to experience how it was and replicate it

It was bound to happen that many people want to play in 1920x1080 fullscreen. So I've adapted it for that.

There are now 4 versions of it. 2 for 1920(or whatever width you want)x1050 which is the original release and what I personally use and 2 versions for 1920x1080. Just download the option you prefer or the zip with all of them included.
Keep in mind that all 4 have different names so you can have them all installed at the same time instead of just one that overwrites itself.

INSTALLATION
=========

Included in the zip are several versions of the UI:

- If you want to play in 1920x1080:
- If you want to use it on a Pure Melee class, copy the folder sakmelee1080 to your EverQuest\uifiles\ and, optionally, copy UI_Player_project1999 to your main Everquest folder and rename "Player" to your character's name.(i.e. if your character is called Sakam, rename it to UI_Sakam_project1999.ini)
- If you want to use it on a class that has spells, copy the folder sakui1080 to your EverQuest\uifiles\ and, optionally, copy UI_Player_project1999 to your main Everquest folder and rename "Player" to your character's name.(i.e. if your character is called Sakam, rename it to UI_Sakam_project1999.ini)

- If you want to play in 1920x1050 windowed (so it covers the full 1080 screen):
- If you want to use it on a Pure Melee class, copy the folder sakmelee to your EverQuest\uifiles\ and, optionally, copy UI_Player_project1999 to your main Everquest folder and rename "Player" to your character's name.(i.e. if your character is called Sakam, rename it to UI_Sakam_project1999.ini)
- If you want to use it on a class that has spells, copy the folder sakui to your EverQuest\uifiles\ and, optionally, copy UI_Player_project1999 to your main Everquest folder and rename "Player" to your character's name.(i.e. if your character is called Sakam, rename it to UI_Sakam_project1999.ini)

If you didn't use the provided .ini file, you can load the interface from the Options > General tab > Load UI SKin and selecting it. Alternatively you can type /loadskin name, where "name" is the name of the ui you picked (sakui, sakmelee, sakui1080 or sakmelee1080).

To avoid crashes when switching between fullscreen and windowed mode, you have to set your resolution in your eqclient.ini located in your everquest main folder.

For 1920x1080:

[VideoMode]
Width=1920
Height=1080
WidthWindowed=1920
HeightWindowed=1080
WindowedWidth=1920
WindowedHeight=1080

For 1920x1050:

[VideoMode]
Width=1920
Height=1050
WidthWindowed=1920
HeightWindowed=1050
WindowedWidth=1920
WindowedHeight=1050

REALLY love the UI. I installed it last night and it makes my p99 experience that much more enjoyable.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoy it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I saw the line in the takp eqclient.ini but assumed it wouldn't work ... by gosh it does! well, mainly. Rear view mirror doesn't work sadly. I'm so elated just running around in TAKP on my lvl 5 rogue now!

[Defaults]
NewUI=FALSE

I daren't attempt it for p1999

[Sakam]

Just tried. As expected, it doesn' work in P99, Sadge.

I absolutely love your work!

Might I suggest you add the Large Arrow mod to your UI. It would match perfectly with all the other larger components to the UI.

For anyone that is curious how I set mine up, I use the following settings in my eqclient.ini, while using the 1920x1050 version of the SakUI. The very tops of the UI gets cut off, but it's hardly noticeable.

WindowedModeXOffset=-3
WindowedModeYOffset=-26
WindowedMode=TRUE
WindowedWidth=1920
WindowedHeight=1040

Then I use the following viewport setting to get better field of view.

/viewport 150 0 1620 829

Pic of how I have mine setup for now:

I have never heard of this Large Arrow Mod but if what you mean is a bigger cursor, I made one after working a new UI.

You can download it here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/73pxj...arrow.cur/file

Just drop it into the UI folder and overwrite the existing one.

Hah yeah, that one. Awesome!

Any chance you want to make this ui usable for live? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
