I got some great ideas as I already love your UI

[1] Perhaps try to make 2 different summary windows, one for tank without power bar and one for casters with a power bar, make them so they are all attached and perhaps put in a realm rank window inside the summary window.

[2] A crimson/Dark red theme would be neat

[3] The target bar is really neat to have, it's very nice since it's quite visible, but add a target window inside the summary window perhaps.

I personally like your UI since it's partially transparent and it quite nice if you have sour eyes.

Keep up the good work :)

edit: I hooked both of them since both is a good idea ;p keep the original design but perhaps make a new graphical design for others :)

Also can you make it so keys don't 'fall off' at a long sentance?
For instance (don't know if this is your UI only but) if you typ a sentance and it's too long for the text box to handle it in 1 line (doesn't matter what size your text box is) then the first letter of the first word on the second line ain't there for some reason.
Not really game breaking though quite annoying sometimes :)

You need to fix the tools bar (Not sure of the name) the one that lists RR titles, rps for RR etc, currently they all show though whats on the top. Kinda annoying. Also maybe make the target bar a little longer, its kinda irritating when names get cut off.

For new features. I dunno if it's possible, but I would like to see more chatbars.

I usually use all the different channels. Having to remove BattleGroup to have a single channel for OfficerChat seems, well so 1980.
(and no, I don't use /g /broad and whatnot, call me gimp if you wanna)

Mayby try some different compasses?


Edit - oh nerf, didn't see you weren't interested in this kinda stuff. Nwm then. I post anyway :)

only thing i find annoying with your ui, is the zone names on the /rw map :p would be nice if they would stay gone after clicking on map, even after relogging/zoning.
other than that, great work :)

What Zovic said ;)

Simple is good....dont make MXN UI another yankee-doodle-fluffy-ui-with-so-much-info-that-is-not-needed.

Love the UI as it is....

Only thing I would find usefull was a status window displaying the different timers if they are up/down (pots, waterpots, artifacts, championweapons) stuff that generally dont show with a grayed out icon ;) Probably a longshot tho :)

Hehe no ;)

With todays /use macros for pots and use/use2 abilities on artifacts plus the incoming champion weapons with use/use2 abilities on em, the need to keep track on the different timers is something I would find handy, today I just spam the stuff telling me I have to "wait another xx seconds to use that ability".

There are seperate timers on

Ordinary pots
Waterbreethe pots
Artifact abilities
Champion weap abilities

A little window like the lag-o-meter would be ace (POT-ARTI-WP-CHAMP)
Red indicating "down", green "up"....etc :D

I'm not a big fan of your UI at all, or any one elses for that matter. The main reason for that is that they lack alot of things i.e an option to make some own customization ( a la WoW ), for exampel I like the QBars, the HP, END bar looking things with your UI, but I hate the chat window, the war-map and the way the charcter window/inventory window looks like.
If you could costomize the UI more freely that would make atleast me love your UI, and maybe some other ppl feel the same :p

And maybe your limited to what can be changed in Daoc UI's due too mythic hardcoding stuff

go for the best minimalist rvr ui and change the txt buttons on char/inv etc back to (small) symbols, only reason i can remember why i dont use ur ui atm.
txt just stands out too much and tbh looks messy imo.

When viewing housevault in "full view" (not pages) there seem to be a slight gfx bug for the different item slots. Switching to pages fixes this minor bug ;)

Is it possible to get those "disable" timers in your UI?

/edit by just holding the mouse over the icon

You might need to do some instructions - but it is relatively straight forward.

Installed your UI for the first time tonight, and I really like the initial look of it and the possibility of really going minimal with everything - so hopefully fps will go up and fraps recordings will be a bit smoother.

I'll play with it a bit more tomorrow. Nice work though :>

Oli - Illu

PS The only button I haven't found immediately is the bonuses button yet (resistances/melee speed etc) - but I'm sure I'll find it tomorrow :>
