The presets program could do this.

Dang floating point numbers.

I Have not tested this, so I'm not 100% sure this is what you were seeing.

But.. With a couple of the sliders, they do not update continually.
I 'thought' there was only maybe 1 or 2 that do that. Because I get kicks hitting my button and watching the sliders move,
One was driving me crazy one. (I think tri-density).
It would never move, and I though for the longest time that I had been using the wrong command, or something was wrong with the code.
'however' I did discover that the value 'was' actually changing, and it was even taking effect in game, the only thing that 'wasn't happening was the slider wasn't moving. If you I clicked the 'accept' button, and brought up the display panel window again, the slider would be in it's correct posistion.

Drove me BATTY! I think the DEVS just missed that slider with the command to update slider continually.

I will double check this tomorow though.
THANKS for the feedback.
I'm thinking the jury is still out on this one. People are giving it a good test before they descide if they like it maybe?

I didnt' realize you could use subdirectories in the UI Folder, How nice.
I'm a neat freak and that's going to be very lovely to have my folders sorted.

I'll stick to doing that for myself thoug, and leave it out of the mods.

And DITO on what Quib was saying. I wanted to stay away from the mainhud.xml, but as you posted, Those were your personal changes.

So, what are you using your buttons for?
So far it seems popular to have the 'screen shot' button. For EXTREME Quality Settings. lol.
Normal Mode and
laggy mode.

I've got a couple of goodies in mind for that Panel In the Future.
I'm off this week from work, so you can expect at least one more addition to it.

EDIT: Also, after your initial setup. You no longer need the eq2_recent.ini file in your performance directory.

EDIT: Aye! You are correct Sir! Thanks for pointing that out. I had a note in this huge ream of papers from my project about that little issue with 119.99...
It just got shuffled around and didn't make it into the project. I'll point this out to Ger.

Rendering Distance: o_max_fareplane Must be set to a minimum of 120.0, Even though yea ol'e slider goes down to 119.999 etc...
I'll will ask ger if he can do a check for this with the parser.

Also. Sliders for Flora do not update continually.
But the settings commands still work. It's just a bug with the sliders.
