UI Modding and Related Stuff!

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 ) 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.

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.

some guy posted a UI mod at curse today. Can't see a screenie, so dunno.

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.

Claiming to be the first UI mod for AoC:

Small mod, but looks like it allows you to see all your alt hotkeys. I'm downloading now. Will report back later

oooooohhhhh please report on this. If its any good I'll grab it after work.

Will you post a pic of it when you get it working? Thanks!

This mod looks pretty good... keep us posted.

Tried this UI mod at 1900x1200 on a 24" monitor and it is icons are very, very small. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone running higher resolutions unless you like a very small UI

Screen shot:

As you can see, I have wayyyy too many buttons there. So, what I was looking for was 2-3 main bars. 1st bar to be a 15-button bar as shown underneath my target's frame but needed to be on the left side of the screen if possible ; 2nd bar will be a 3x3 bar consisting of 9-buttons that will be bound to the number pad ; 3rd bar can be in between the 1st bar (the left side default 6-button bar wld be perfectly fine) with the soul fragment box on top of it--also bindable. I know this is an undertaking as the AoC UI can be cantankerous for the most part, but hopefully it won't be too much of a hard one. Here's to hoping Funcom allows API modding soon.

I've used Ledmirage's stuff for years. He's very good about keeping them up to date.

I was just gonna post this up, looks useful. As a guardian I have about 6 million buttons already at level 20, stances, weapon specific skills.. argh, and the doesnt help you with any of it

Wow, this does look good, keep us posted there, guinea pig.

Updated screen shot. Got the keybinds where I wanted em and the ui itself @ 75% scaled:

The file is easily modified to make the buttons bigger. It's basically just cutting and pasting 3 different numbers into the xml file. I've already modified mine and will test when server is back up. If all works, I'll post the fix here.
