Hello

Many people have asked about customizing their UI sounds, much like they do with the UI graphics. With the latest update, customizing UI audio has been made easier.

Here is a brief explanation on how to do this:

In your Everquest II directory (ex, C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest II) is a file called UIBuilder.zip. This file contains documentation (EQ2_UI_Customization.doc) on how to customize your UI. Section 5 of this document lists the sound calls that the user has the ability to change.

First, read through the documentation in the UIBuilder.zip. Look at the sounds you have the ability to change (section 5) and decide what you want to customize. In this example we are customizing friend online/offline alerts.

The table will look something like this:

Name | Description
ui_friend_logoff | Friend logoff alert
ui_friend_logon | Friend logon alert

The “Name” is what you’ll need to rename the sound file with a .wav extension, and the “Description” is what/when the sound is used in the game.

Second, choose some sound files that you like (these MUST be in WAV format).

Third, you have two choices as to where you put your new sounds.

· Everquest II/UI/Sounds – to replace the sound for ALL skins on the client
· Everquest II/UI/custom skin name here/Sounds – to replace the sounds for a particular skin

You will need to copy the wave files you have chosen into one of the above directories. Then you will need to rename these files to reflect the “Name” column that the documentation lists.

Example:
The wave file you have chosen to play when a friend logs on is originally called “online_alert.wav”. You will need to rename this to “ui_friend_logon.wav” in order for the UI to use this sound.

Finally, next time you run the game, you will hear your customized sounds!

Makes a note. 'Future Projects,
If someone doesn't beat me to it I need to make a sound play when buffs run out, or spells are refreshed. I would be stocked with arrows for days if I could just remember to hit my makeshift arrow button often enough.
