The .dll already has the hook, just need a working classic ui, which I believe exists.
Sorry, feasible could have had multiple meanings. I meant feasible in the "feasible for our all-volunteer force with their limited time/resources to make those client work with P99" sense.

I'm sure on a technical level, with infinite time/resources, it's absolutely possible to make P99 work with any client ... or even with an Atari 2600! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No-one said to use anything except the Titanium client.

I suggested the USER INTERFACE, which is the furthest thing from a client.

They have the ability, as we can see with the VELIOUS USER INTERFACE.

The CLASSIC USER INTERFACE is readily available, they would need to alter a few tweaks.

I don't know why you're getting so defensive.

It's an elementary task, seriously.

All this talk about the classic interface... one thing that most (probably everyone) now playing the game has a widescreen flat panel monitor. Back in '99 we were using square CRT monitors.

The classic interface worked on those smaller square monitors, but may be rough today's tech.

Not saying that's a reason not to have it, but I'm just thankful we have something we can set a better resolution on. lol

That's a perfect reason to not have it.

Yeah basically. I want a modern engine with modern functionality for classic gameplay.

I don't need no map, because we're all using wiki's and nParse anyways.
I don't need no compass, because we all know where to go anyways.
I don't need no buff timers, because every buff duration has painlessly been recorded and built into GINA or nParse triggers anyways.
I don't need no pet bar, because GINA will notify me of pet breaks anyways.

But I need my god damn hotbars so that I can press Shift+2 instead of pressing <ARBITRARY_PAGING_KEY> and then 2 instead.

The user interface and client are kind of sort of ... I dunno ... connected? Just a tiny bit. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You can make a Titanium client classicly-themed UI skin, but that will be very different from having an actual classic interface (ie. full-screen UI with only a small world window, full book meditation, etc.).

Seriously though, is there a timeline for fixing this?
Yes, this please. I couldn't care less about the UI changes, bravo for whatever it means, but not being able to port to Surefall wasn't even mentioned in the update. Druid love would be much appreciated. Thanks. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The last expansion that had access to the "classic" ui was legacy of ykesha quite a long time before titanium. So no it is not an easy fix to pull that rabbit out of the hat.
