How to make your own window.

[insomniac]

OK.. so basically, i pasted code for a window into an xml that wasn't drawing a window. I'm not exactly sure what files you can and can't do this to (tho i'm pretty sure 1 file can only draw 1 window)
how to make your own:

grab a file, (like eq2ui_mouseovericons.xml)

move whatever code is inside down a few lines. and paste some window code:

<Page ActionType="Experience" BackgroundColor="#00FF00" Location="396,658" Name="Experience" PackLocation="center,bottom" PackLocationProp="-116/0001,-110/0001" ScrollExtent="264,100" Size="264,100" UserMovable="true" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true">

<!-- some text -->
<Text DynamicData="" Font="/Fonts.FontArial14" LocalText="10000/10000" Location="5,5" Margin="0,0,5,0" Name="HitPointsValue" ScrollExtent="254,90" Size="254,90" TextAlignmentVertical="Center">Insomniac is awesome.</Text>
<!-- end of text -->

<Page AbsorbsInput="false" BackgroundOpacity="1.000" Location="0,3" Name="WC_Frame" PackLocation="top,left" PackLocationProp="0000/0001,0003/0001" RStyleDefault="/FrameStyles.single_pixel" ScrollExtent="263,97" Size="263,97"></Page>
<Page AbsorbsInput="false" BackgroundOpacity="1.000" Location="1,4" Name="WC_Backdrop" PackLocation="top,left" PackLocationProp="0001/0001,0004/0001" ScrollExtent="262,95" Size="262,95"></Page></Page>

If you copy the code from another window, (the above is the top and bottom of the experience window) the bottom code will end with </page></page> you need to move the second </page> to the very bottom of the file.

now hit save.

window injected.

one more thing. using eq2ui_mouseovericons.xml has a lovely little side effect. the above screenshot is from the in game login screen. this file loads whatever is in it the second everquest2.exe loads up. So now you can tweak spacing ect. without having to log in. (dynamicdata wont work until you're in the world tho.) Isn't this soo much better than eq1?
