Game Update #63

** Updater version **: here


Description:
After several years of EQ2 UI modding, individual releases, and user requests, the DrumsUI is finally released as a full UI download. The DrumsUI's purpose is to add features to the standard interface windows while also saving screen space and eliminating unnecessary extras. This UI started out as personal modifications and has slowly evolved into user requested ideas as well as features combined with existing ideas.

The DrumsUI includes several settings (Self Cure window, Stat bar Window, Group/Raid Quick casts and cures) that are set up to be customizable from in-game and save both between sessions and different characters. When you first use the DrumsUI pieces, the default settings will be selected.

*Note: Included are some slightly edited map icons (originally created by gurkoz) and the skinnable map POI file.

Installation Notes:
- How To: Install A Custom UI
- eq2.ini goes in your EverQuest 2 Installation folder.
- DrumsUI folder goes in your EverQuest 2/UI/ folder.

UNINSTALL YOUR OLD VERSION FIRST!
It's not likely to cause issues, but some files have changed and some have been removed!
But save these files to backup your Quick Button settings, Item Notes, and Spell Timers:
- /POI/drumsui_textsettings.xml
- /POI/drumsui_itemnotes.xml
- /POI/drumsui_spelltimer.xml


Extra Notes:
- See the "Alternatives" folder in the DrumsUI folder to access some window variations. (eg. Tiny Group, Group with pet bars, Right-sided maintained, bottom-aligned voice chat, etc.)

- Copy and rename any of the below to use a supplied layout:
* DrumsUI_1280x1024_layout.xml
* DrumsUI_1440x900_layout.xml
* DrumsUI_1680x1050_layout.xml

To: serverName_characterName_eq2_uisettings.xml (ie: Blackburrow_Drumstixx_eq2_uisettings.xml)
Remember that the supplied UIsettings file won't have all your chat settings configured, so be sure to re-configure your options!
