What does this Mod do?


09/08/2006
This is a temporary fix. SOE's Patch #27 broke several UIs that use some form of inventory (start buttons with special functions use it, like Goldi's). These UIs are crashing people to desktop

This patch will address the crash. The only downside is that all Inventory Slots (like charm slots, food and drink...), will not work. All the other buttons work though.
I am working on a 100% solution.

This is a major update
I did a major update in the Goldi StartButton. There are now several new buttons. I will describe them bellow.

Map Buttons: I have updated the icons with "SAGE UI Icons". Now a blinking X will appear on the map when an npc close have a quest for you, or if you are tracking somone, they will also show (colors vary for new quests, closing quests, or tracking)

Milquetowst Info Center: one window full of information! Spell lists, Heritage Quests, House and horses information, Heroic Oportunity, Writs, and more! (Also, the old Notes window is no more, since this add-on already have a notes, which you can edit)

Goldi Start Button: lots and lots of new buttons:
(Check the picture) - From left to right, top to bottom:
Food, Water (both are just like the inventory slots, right click to access
Both Charm Slots - click to use the item
Ear Slot (click to use)
Milquetowst Info Center - click to open the Info Center
Zone Reuse Window - click to open the Zone Reuse Window, with information on when you can reenter an instanced zone.
Harvest Information Window
Hide/Show Illusions
Hide/Show Helmet/Hood
Nightvision - will brighten the game, so you can see more clearly in the dark
Bags - open/close all bags
Auto Follow
Consider - Toggle between simple and advanced Consider Targets
Raid - Toggle Raid Window
Audio - opens the Audio control: simple click to control master, music or combat music
Sprint - makes you use the sprint ability
Dice - Roll the dice, random 1-100
PvP! - if you play on a PvP Server, click this button and it will show your current Rank and Recent Kills (same as typing both commands: /pvp and /recent_pvp
EQII - Standard Options Window
Ammo Slot - so you can easly see when you are running out of arrows, etc.
Unequip All! - A special panic button for raids: if the raid leader asks everyone to die, press this button before, and you will quickly unequip everythin to your inventory
Panic Button - clicking this button will make your pet retreat, and also /yell to break the Encounter
And also the Small buttons to easly switch graphic options...

If you still don't use a custom UI, you might want to give a try at my Full UI, which also has all the features contained in this one:

Don't forget to follow the install instructions bellow:


================================================================================ ===============

Installation / Updating Instructions:
================================================================================ ===============

If you already have a Custom UI:

Locate this file: eq2ui.xml


If it does not exist, DO NOT OVERWRITE IT, when unzipping this Mod. Read step (2) bellow, on how to edit the file.

If you are using Fetish UI, just do not overwrite the above file, and unzip the rest into the UI Folder, and it should work.

If you use another UI, read bellow:

1) Unzip the files to your customUI folder. Now, if you DID have the file i was saying above, you can skip step (2)



2) Using notepad, edit the file named "eq2ui.xml"

Right at the beginning, search for this line:

<include>eq2ui_skininfo.xml</include>

And bellow it, add these two lines:


<include>_FetishStyles.xml</include>
<include>_FetishStyleSamples.xml</include>

Now Save and Close.
