Hi all, just though I'd put up what I've done with my UI.
The old default is no longer supported by Sony, so if you are using it you won't be able to get the new features like extra bank slots and buff filters that came with the Ro expansion.
Thing is I cant stand the new UI so I had a bash at merging them.
Now I don't pretend to know a great deal about this but here is what I did.
1. Open Everquest folder. (should be in program files in Sony Online Entertainment)
2. Open UIfiles folder.
3. Should see 2 folders, default and default old.
4. Make a new folder, call it whatever you want.
5. Open default folder, select all and copy.
6. Paste all into your new folder.
7. Open default old folder.
8. Find and copy the following files,
EQUI_HotButtonWnd
gemicons01.tga
gemicons02.tga
gemicons03.tga
Spell_Icons.tga
spells01.tga
spells02.tga
spells03.tga
spells04.tga
spells05.tga
spells06.tga
spells07.tga
9. Open your new folder and paste these files into it, selecting yes to overwrite.
10. open your options screen in everquest, select your new ui and load it.
This should give you all the benifits of the new UI but with the old Hotbuttons, old buff icons and old spell icons.
As I said I am no boffin on this stuff, I used another folder so if it goes wrong can always revert back to one of the defaults.
If anyone has any more info please pass it on, and please correct me if I have made any mistakes.
Maybe we should start a technical folder for the forum???
Take care and happy hunting.
