There is a way to view the EQ 2 interface pieces. And I hope this helps out in making your own custom interfaces. As you probably know, if you go to the "C:\Program FIles\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\Default\Images" folder, you will see a bunch of files with a ".dds" extension. To view these files, you must download the "DirectX 9.0 SDK Update - (October 2004)". It can be found at the following link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/isapi/goms...DisplayLang=en. Just click the "Download" button and save the file to any directory of your choice. If you have dial-up it will take a while to download for it is 218MB. Once you have downloaded the file install the SDK. Once you have installed the SDK, you can either "double left-click" on the files specified in the EQ 2 directory or you can launch the program "DirectX Texture Tool" which is found in the "Start > Program > Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (October 2004) > DirectX Utilities". I hope this helps. Have fun viewing the files... (Check out the old EQ 2 Login screen... Ewwwww!)
