You need to copy over the file eq2ui.xml from the default directory.

What that files does is hold the includes(sub files) that make up the UI. Without this file it cannot reference the other parts of the UI.

Basically the UI is one big XML file broke down into many mini XML files. Glued together via the <include> nodes within each module. Module files are files name like eq2ui_<some name>_<window name>.xml. Like the module that holds all the main windows you see commonly in the game is the MainHud module and its file name is eq2ui_mainhud.xml. So the file eq2ui.xml is the document root of the UI xml and it descends from there by the include nodes witch tells it to murge eq2ui_mainhud.xml contents to it and all the other ones.

That the big pitcher of the UI anyway... Probably more then you wanted. Hope it helps you out.
