UI Setting INIs.. Might as well compile information

[Gyr]

If this topic belongs else where I appologize.


For those of us dabbling in the ini files, might as well share what we know..


I've been dinking around the ini files trying to pull out the X,Y locations of specific windows.

I have found where the X,Y locations are stored for each ui window but haven't figured out all the specifics yet. This doesnt include Chat windows

First.. I'm not 100% sure on where the record for each window starts but there appears to be a window Identifier 2 bytes prior to the start of the windows name
*numbers show in hex*
2 byte window indentifier
windows name, terminated with '01'
2 bytes - unknown
2 bytes - unknown
1 byte - "Attach point" for the window as mention in the UI Doc. unfortunately there are more attach points then mentioned in the UI Doc *See list below *
4 bytes - X location - signed value, but I dont know the correct programming term *been a few years* but the value is stored in a 'right to left' format. meaning '01 00 00 00' is 1 and 'FE FF FF FF' is -1 rather then some hugh number

4 bytes - Y location *same as the X

the X,Y values are relative to the Attach points.

Thats as far as I got.. the blasted attach points were annoying.

00= Top Left
01= Top Center
02= Top Right
07= Left Center
08= Center
03= Right Center
06= Bottom Left
05= Bottom Middle
04= Bottom Right
09= Letter Box Top Left
0A= Letter Box Top Center
0B= Letter Box Top Right
0F= Letter Box Bottom Left
0E= Letter Box Bottom Center
0D= Letter Box Bottom Right
10= Top Left/Middle Left
0C= Top Right/Middle Right ** I just made up this term. not sure it is accurate
