EQ2 UIBuiler Intro with pretty pictures

[RickF7666]

Welcome to the sometimes rewarding and often frustrating world of Everquest 2 UI modding. First off I find it is easier to edit just the piece I'm working on instead of loading the MainHUD file and dealing will a thousand tabs. But there are some UIBuilder behaviors you have to be aware of. The most frustrating being the addition of the visible=false to the first sub-page of the window your working on. And there is also the occasional addition of extra "/" where you don't need them. As for having the graphics show up, well I have found that any graphical elements that are defined by a style don't show up in the UIBuilder. So things like borders and background graphics don't show up. This means that when I'm working on a UI piece I have to go back and forth to the game to get the borders to line up the way I want.

Oh and when you copied over the UI pieces to your working folder did you also copy over the image folders to?

I hope this has been helpful and good luck.
