The Outer Brood Beta

[Drakah]

I have checked out the UI’s and the only thing that seems to need an update so far is the EQUI_Animations file, adding in the TOB code.

I am attaching the EQUI_Animations file for the Krome UI here, as of 10/9/2024 to start.

If you want to do this to your own, open up your EQUI_Animations file in notepad,
and just above:

<Ui2DAnimation item="A_Quarm">

place:

	<Ui2DAnimation item="A_TOB">
		<Frames>
			<Texture>EQ_expansion_logos2.tga</Texture>
			<Location>
				<X>256</X>
				<Y>192</Y>
			</Location>
			<Size>
				<CX>128</CX>
				<CY>32</CY>
			</Size>
			<Hotspot>
				<X>0</X>
				<Y>0</Y>
			</Hotspot>
		</Frames>
	</Ui2DAnimation>
	<Ui2DAnimation item="A_TOBHover">
		<Frames>
			<Texture>EQ_expansion_logos2.tga</Texture>
			<Location>
				<X>256</X>
				<Y>224</Y>
			</Location>
			<Size>
				<CX>128</CX>
				<CY>32</CY>
			</Size>
			<Hotspot>
				<X>0</X>
				<Y>0</Y>
			</Hotspot>
		</Frames>
	</Ui2DAnimation>
	<Ui2DAnimation item="A_TOBSelected">
		<Frames>
			<Texture>EQ_expansion_logos2.tga</Texture>
			<Location>
				<X>256</X>
				<Y>256</Y>
			</Location>
			<Size>
				<CX>128</CX>
				<CY>32</CY>
			</Size>
			<Hotspot>
				<X>0</X>
				<Y>0</Y>
			</Hotspot>
		</Frames>
	</Ui2DAnimation>

I just replaced the Tking Briar Cast Spell Window 13 Spells version with the 14 Spells version if you would like to use this for Beta, featured under the Add-Ons section. I figured I would not bother adding a separate download for both being only about 5 or so weeks away from launch.

All interfaces are now published over from Beta and have been tested. The only 2 UI’s that need to pay some attention to is Adeptus & INTG TKing, as I removed EQUI_KeyRingWnd.xml file. If you use those UI’s, be sure to remove that file or else you will get an error.

Drakah,

I love that your still doing the UI’s. It makes my life so much more enjoyable because I can’t stand the default UI.

But using your instructions I can never get the UI to load properly.

You mention that we add your layout to our main folder and copy layout. I have tried it on Beta and it never works for me to do it that way. It defaults back to the default UI.I have had this issue for a long time now. So I get XML errors etc.
I am at wits end with this.Any chance you can point out anything. Can you please review your procedures in the read me file to make sure the steps are right.
I am not trying to question you but I really want to make this work.

Thanks for any assistance in advance.

You do not need my INI file, ever really, it was only there to get you started from what the screenshot was setup to be like. but the INI files should still work, providing you are using the same resolution that INI file was saved under. Otherwise, the windows will be all over the place.

The only change EQ did was how they are naming the INI files now, which I did not update in the Readme as an oversight, as you need to add in your class name now to the filename.

If it is loading Default, then my guess is you do not have the same folder name as what the INI file is looking for.

You should not be getting any XML errors, other than maybe “Note: Loading SUITE” messages, or maybe “Warning” messages. It is the major errors that I would need to know that would make the UI not load at all.

In general, you just need to pop in the folder and /loadskin while in game, choose the folder, and move the windows around. You really do not need to do much more than that.

Okay, I will try that tomorrow. Thanks for the reply to my query.

Btw I think I may have figured out the issue all along. It might be the name of the folder like you said. I just did this in Beta.

1: I took the old folder “drakah_intg_tking and moved it to another folder just to be safe.

2: Then I downloaded your new Brood zip file.

3: I took that drakah_intg_tking folder and put that in my beta ui folder.

4: I removed the read me file, and the two other zip files that come with it.

5: I loaded up the game and my windows were all over the place. I made sure that the UIfile i was loading was yours. Then I copied my layout from my main character and toggled all three check boxes for hot buttons etc. Taking care to make sure I had the correct resolution.

6: Presto…seems to be working now

Thanks for the coaching the last response you had. That helped me a lot.

[Drakah]

Always happy to help if I can.
