Getting Custom UIs to work as of Aug14 Patch [Archive]

08-14-2002, 09:43 AM

Some mods will work post-patch Aug14, some will need new files written and downloaded by you.

If you have one that will work, copy the contents of the default ui directory into your mod directory... then unzip the mod into that directory as normal. (basically reinstall it.)

If that produces crashes, or no loading of the UI, you'll either have to get a newer version of the UI Mod or simply replace the ui mod with the default UI by copying the contents of the default UI directory into your mod directory.

Geist is Hard at work trying to get the new UI fixed (i think he works harder than the guys at VI =P) He said he expects to have it fixed within the hour although thats barring unforseen circumstance so lets just hope theres no snags. Good Luck Geist thanks for all the hard work you do and im pretty sure I can say that on behalf of everyone.

I was having a problem logging in also.

I deleted everything out of my "melee" folder and then copied the files I know I wanted from Geist's zip file

player window

buff box

chat window

inventory

etc.

I also used a couple other winodws from other people to suit my personal tastes.

It's great that Verant set it up so you only have to have the files you want changed in your custom folder and it pulls the rest from default. I have a copy of the modified files in a folder on my server, now I just copy the ones i want over at the same time.

I can only run the default skin!! Grr. The only files I have in modified in my custom folder are the following:

EQUI_Buffwindow.xml

EQUI_Groupwindow.xml

EQUI_Inventory.xml

EQUI_Playerwindow.xml

EQUI_Window_pieces01.tga

Window_pieces02.tga

Window_pieces03.tga

Window_pieces04.tga

Window_pieces05.tga

Window_pieces06.tga

Wnd_bg_light_rock.tga

Wnd_bg_dark_rock.tga

Are there problems with any of these files that I dont know about?

EDIT: The graphic files are working fine, but the XML ones make the mod not work *shrug* =/

I don't understand....

At the top of the page you say to copy the WHOLE default file and put it in your UI mod directory. Then you say to put those 3 specific files into your mod directory. But why would you do that after you just put the entire defalut folder files into the directory? That's like doing those 3 twice. Unless I'm reading that all wrong and you want us to put our entire FOLDER into our mod UI folder (so open mod folder and default folder + mod files are seen) and only take out those 3 files from the default folder and put them into the mod UI?

see I"m confused aren't I? lol

08-14-2002, 09:45 PM

Actually, I really botched that post up.. let me clean it up.

Now *that* is an error I've never seen.

Did you try to monkey around with TextEntryWindow.XML? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">

That error specifically applies when a duplicate ID is used in the file. I downloaded the UI version off my site and I'm using that as a test.. and I'm not getting any of these errors. =(

This link will go to a site to download a program that will compare two folders and then will even compare two files and show you what lines are different. It will even copy lines and files if you treat it right.

Try it out.

Geist,

I LOVED your UI.... Unfortunately, I could only love it for 2 days. I've downloaded & re-installed your latest link, but since the 14th patch, I've had no luck at all.

I'm gonna try again now & maybe I'll post the issues so you can help.

If you don't mind, of course. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D">

Nak

edit 1- Nope, still not working.

edit 2- YAY ME! I swapped the 2 files you mentioned in the other thread & it works great now. Thanks again for the great UI.
