Time to start practicing!
If you've got the character creation CD, it includes several moddable UI elements.
(EQ2 installation folder)\DemoCreateIU\demo\
Here's a little sample I whipped up:
All I did was change colors and increase the size of the Accept button.
The XML format is VERY different from EQ1's setup... random sample:
Code:
<TextboxStyle CaratColor="#FFFFC0" CaratWidth="2" Cursor="/Cursor.Text" Name="InputStyle" NormalTextStyle="/Fonts.FontArial14" SelectedTextStyle="InputStyle" SelectionColor="#222266" TextColor="#AAAAFF" TextPadding="3,2,3,0"/>
<Text Color="#D0B97B" Font="/Fonts.FontZapf24" LocalText="Options" Location="58,14" Name="LabelTitle" ScrollExtent="647,26" Size="647,26" TextAlignment="Center" TextAlignmentVertical="Center" Visible="false">Options</Text>
<Scrollbar ArrowPressSound="sounds/button" Control="ReplyList" ExtendedTooltip="Scrolls the listing of replies." HideIfUnnecessary="true" LocalTooltip="Scrollbar" Location="723,40" Name="ScrollbarPage" ScrollExtent="20,568" Size="20,568" Style="/ScrollStyles.default_vscroll" Tooltip="Scrollbar"/>
<Text Color="#D0B97B" Font="/Fonts.FontZapf15" LocalText="Configuration" Location="108,616" Name="LabelCurrentConfig" ScrollExtent="148,26" Size="148,26" TextAlignment="Right" TextAlignmentVertical="Center">Configuration</Text>
<Dropdownbox DataSource="FloorplanSource" Location="259,622" Name="DropdownboxConfig" RowTemplate="/Templates.dropdowntemplate" ScrollExtent="138,20" Size="138,20" Style="/dropdownlist.dropdown_default"/>
Looks more like HTML, which is good. No more having an individual tag for EVERY setting...
Anyway, we have a lot to learn. Go forth and MOD!
