Interface mods arent working....
 

Ive tried everything that I have read in these forums...including: checking the .ini file several times....I actually have the option to load it in game with /loadui...but of course its screwed up lol.....

Any ideas/help would be appreciated...I'm a lvl 37 Warlock and have 6 hotkey bars open and its really hard to get around those with the mod lol...

Thanks,

Place all the .xml files in a directory of the /ui folder where default is located. Then all .dds files that are images go in a folder off of your /mod folder. Any Icons go in a /icons folder of off the /mod/images folder.

Here is my directory tree:

ROOT (whatever drive you have EQ installed on mine is E:)
---eq2 (name of game folder)
------UI (This is where the game gets all UI info)
---------Mods (I made this folder for my MODDED files I want)
------------Images (Must be here for custom images to work w/modded files)
---------------Icons (As with Images custom icon files must go here)

In your GAME directory (ie: ---EQ2) place a file you make with notepad called EQ2.INI Here is mine for example:

cl_letter_box_position 0.999
cl_ui_skinname mods
cl_ui_subdir UI/

Now, the game knows where your mod folder is. The letter box is NOT necessary!! I used a custom mod that I did and I moved my Letterbox to the bottom. So, you would use the NEXT two lines. Just make sure they MATCH your Folder names YOU created.

Load the mods you like in to the folders as per the install notes found either in the zip (where it should be, and yea I forgot to add to few of mine). If no notes, check the file description on this site where you dl'ed the file and usually install notes are in the post (like mine).

basically any and all UI mods will follow the same install as I mentioned starting this response.

Once you have the files in place, if not already done so, EXIT EQ2 to desktop. Then, restart EQ2 and you should see your new changes.

Good luck!

Ok, well to get more specific: all the files were .xml files, it was actually euda's remake of insom's hotkey bar. But I had the exact setup that you had described above. I just went back and deleted everything and started from scratch....

The only thing I did differently about this time was instead of saving the eq2.ini file using unicode...i saved it with ansi...this time when i loaded it up it worked...so my only conclusion is that on my machine it HAS to be done using ansi......

Thanks for the replies, :)
