Ok im working atm on a new UI but i have encountered a problem on the way.

TGA. files i have read alot of forum posts about em how u make em and such but none of em really found my interest of trying becouse they all were about other things such as, backgrounds and stuff nothing like the box(chatbox,mini-grp,exp bar)

Now i dont know how many here have made there own UI's apart from aloca(aqe) and Caden what i wonna know is if any here could give me a quick tutorial how to make one with how pictures have to be cut in what ways how u set it all togetther and all that requires to build a UI from scratch please mention what programs used aswell. thx :>

i might be able to help ya out mate.. i haven't made my own UI, but i've been customizing other ppls UI's to fit me better and to fix bugged things.
I've got some experience with .tga files and I've allso been playing around alot with the DAoC UI Editor.
I'm allso quite experienced web programmer, and XML (Extended Markup Language) is actually a language made for the web in the first place, but it's so incredibly useful that you can use it for allmost anything.. nah not really, but it's very useful :D
I'll try to see if I can get the time to help you out.
I'll get back to you later.

I made some .tga how it is mentioned on daocmods FAQ and im sure it worked. Then now (after NF) i cant get the .tga to work anymore. I would like to see a solution here tbh, coz now im locked to use graphics from other mods.

First of all you need DAOC User Interface Editor v1.00

To make windows of your tga files...

- Go in the assets panel and define the files you want to add to the project.
- Then go in the template pannel and make your controls like button's, scaler's, window's, etc...
- Then go to the windows pannel. Here you put the controlls you made into window's

GL with the modding ;)
