UI Modding and Related Stuff!

Post by daeka on Mon May 19, 2008 5:49 pm

Some of us have started making basic mods, scripts and otherwise fun stuff for the game. I for one have started messing with the .xml to mess around with the UI.

Koda posted a great guide for an in-game recruitment info script located here (or in the stickies)

If anyone has suggestions or questions (I'm sure I'll have some for those who know xml better then I Smile) feel free to post

Can you do anything with that friends/guild list? I hate that it is always opened small instead of expanded.

Chat window font smaller? I run 1680 X 1050 so I have lots of room and everything seams too big. I would like to have 2 windows displayed in the lower right and left but I need it all smaller.

Thanks.


I've messed with the friends list a bit and I *think* I got it to work, I just wont know for sure until the game comes up.

As for the chat, there is a small/medium/large option if you right click the tabs but if you're looking for smaller I'll look in to that too.

Yea even smaller if it is not too hard. I have this large widescreen plus I got Lasik done about 7 years ago and I see 20/15. Both of that adds up to I generally have fonts small when I can.

But even if you cannot change the chat making those sidebars smaller would be the biggest help because I can still have the 2 chat windows. Right now I have 15 slots on each bar and it is filling up fast. Based on the fact I still have about 5 more pets and lots more spells coming I know I will want more.

Thanks again.

Hey, if you find anything out, let me know. I've been trying to get a ui mod going.. but I really need to be able to mod the graphics. I haven't figured that out yet. Be interested to know what you've tried, got nothing but time while the servers are down. Wink

So far I've changed the group indicators on the map, made the friends list expanded on open, adjusted the chat font and I *think* i made the extra toolbars smaller and I'm working on a script for custom waypoints. I just cant test anything until the servers go back up.

ok riddle me this, custom map nodes have got to be saved locally, can we somehow extract the info and share them? aka share the resource map so we can save time

assuming I can get my script to work, yes. I'd just have to post it so everyone could use it.

Ya, I was looking at that. He just took out all the window frames to give the UI a minimalistic look.

Werik's UI mod actually appears to be pretty well done... I'm just nervous to install it.
