EQ2 UI for Dummies

[lordebon]

Sinister,

There's no file that says "This window is this xml file in game"

It's all hard coded into the game. IE, the game knows that the persona window is eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml

Most files you'll see are those the game knows about and are hardcoded into it, but you can make any window you want and show it in-game with the /show_window command and such. Look at the Infocenter -- it's a completely new window.

The category (IE eq2_mainhud.xml) files tell the game which files to load and ever consider. eq2ui.xml is the "big daddy" file that the game _always_ starts with and uses to find and load every other file.

But window-file associations are all done within the context of the game.
