Documentation?

[sbenjamin]

Hello, I am a software developer who has played eq2 since beta and have some ideas that I would like to put into an interface, however, I am having trouble locating any documentation for creating skins. Any help is appreciated.

Also, I have an immediate question. I would like to add a button to the track window to run additional in game commands. The commands are available from "The List" however, I am not certain how to reference the selected item in the track window.

Thanks!

To reference something, you work backwards up to the most recent common element using "parent" and then work downwards by name.

For example, if the tree looks like this:

A
-B1
--C1
---LocalText
--C2
-B2
--C3

If you're at C3 and you want to get the LocalText property from C1, you would refer to it as this:

parent.parent.B1.C1.LocalText

The first parent takes you to B2, the second parent takes you to A. A is the lowest-level common page and so you can start going back down the tree by name -- B1 then it's child C1 then it's attribute LocalText.

As for documentation, it's not very new but in your UIBuilder folder you'll find a MSWord file called EQ2_UI_Customization.doc that explains the basics of many of the elements and attributes. You can also search on these forums for some additional information.

Hope that helps =)

Let me guess... You want to add a /who button?
