Custom User interface updated

[Kami]

I've updated the UI I've been working on for the last few weeks, it's almost finished and then I can start on a more minimal one

Screenshots of the UI for anyone who's already using it and wondering why they should upgrade:

TOA Scroll listing

Info sheet with Realm ranks, killtask loot and commands people keep forgetting

The new summary window/minipet window:

The UI is now split into two downloads (not everyone wants the Midgard maps) :

The HalfmadUI has this included in the standard install:
1. Created with a resolution of 1024x768 in mind.
2. Trials of Atlantis maps (ammended).
3. Scrolls listing.
4. Frontier maps for all 3 realms (now with frontier dungeons marked.
5. Halfmad info sheet with Realm rank lists, kill task loot (ok midgard only - slip up there) and some commands I'm sick of being asked on /as.
6. Tweaked graphics as always, the midgard symbol being replaced with a DAOC Dragon I made on both the summary and mini pet windows.

Midgard Maps Addon strangely includes only maps for midgard:

1. Midgard housing (now with zone plot numbers).
2. Midgard Shrouded isles maps.
3. Midgard Classic zones.

Incidentally just to remind people I know that the scroll lists might not be very readable if you're playing on a smallish (17" monitor) at a resolution higher than 1024x768. Not much I can do about it though - the UI is created for 1024x768 resolutions perhaps once mythic add commands to the interface it'll be possible..

Looks great im going to try it out now

 

[Iswind]

great skin i love it!

 

[Bonegoat]

Cant find the edit button but ive tested it now and like it alot Think ill stick to it.

 

[Iswind]

I have a little sugestion to the skin...

How about dungeon maps with marked spots for Main mobs ?

Keep up the great work

 

[Kami]

cant do dungeon maps unfortunately. they have to be either reduced to a size where they're unreadable or split into sections which makes them impossible to navigate. tried and failed I'm afraid

Unless mythic give me the ability to make them scrollable..

 

[Iswind]

ohh didnt know that

maybe theyll fix it someday...

 

[Kainz]

Dungeon maps would also increase the size of the download by quite a bit, due to their multi leveled size. Been using the UI for most of today and its working nicely over here.

Not using toa for rvr. Well not using it at all unless I got toa business to attend to, slow crappy client ;/.

Shame we can't use uis with SI.

Hehe this UI wont help that laggy client much to be honest. It's fine on a decent spec machine with a healthy amount of RAM as are all UI's but like you if I was a huge RvR fan I'd stick with the SI client

I hope they sort this out in the frontiers expansion, doubt it though

Toa runs quite smooth for me, that's not the problem, but it eats more ram, and gets lagged easily by many players on the screen.

Oh and 1 thing extra I can't live with while trying to rvr is, when I try to check the game messages and resize the chat/game message window it Lags like hell. Not affecting my performance but still annoying and useless to be ingame. Can't except daoc to be fast anyway as it runs in direct3d not opengl.

If mythic actually bothered with opengl support rvr would be viable with the toa client too.

Nice work Kami
If i still might add suggestions, to the housing map ada numbers for each village too, each house would get kinda hard to read, and i cant c a easy to read numeric system in housenumbers so i never have any idea where in a zone a specific house is, numbers on villages would help alot

 

[Kami]

I did try that but gave up after erikstad since it looked awful crowded. might revisit the idea in 1.7

 

[Archon]

Mighty fine UI sir

Well done!

 

[old.Whoodoo]

Looking good bud!

 

[cuddled0rf]

I downloaded your skin last week or so and what i miss so far are the ''next'' and ''back'' buttons on the /master's window. You know, to flip through the pages, could you add those?
Other then that, thumbs up

 

[Calo]

oke 1 thing, i can't look in my housevault with the skin, it just gives an empty vault where i can't do a thing with... plz fix it

These are in the next version and you're credited with spotting the omission so - cheers

I checked this on the guild vault as I don't have one in my own house and it worked fine. I cleaned out that guild vault quickly and will be selling my illegally gotten gains in the trading section shortly. As long as Fiver doesn't spot this thread As far as I'm aware it's a bog standard vault window and hasn't be altered at all, so I can't see how it'd fail to work. I will however have a look into this.

ill give it another go, first time i logged in , there were no houses only cm's and i relogged and then i had my house back but my vault looked empty, so maybe its just me but when i changed to toa skin it worked fine , maybe 3th time best

sounds like you were just bugged mate I had a merchant on top of my house a few weeks ago and I was just using the standard midgard UI

see thread: https://forums.freddyshouse.com/showthread.php?t=20424

If you do use the UI again let me know how you get on. Bug reports are handy and save me a lot of time

maybe a relog needed ? i dunno, just wanted to let u know

there's something a bit wrong there, buff icons are different for starters. Don't suppose you put my UI over the top of another that was in the folder? Almost looks like files are missing

 

[Kainz]

Have you totally wiped that toa\ui\custom folder before extracting the halfmad ui into there? The installation of these custom ui's is foolproof really, not sure how things can go wrong because everyone else has had success.

no i had a sucky other one and i jsut extracted everthing in that, maybe that is the fault srry ! great skin

 

[Kami]

well hope it's working for you mate. If you or anything thinks of anything you'd want added or changed just gives a shout. I won't promise it'll go in but I'll see what I can do
