[TEST] 8.30.06 (LU27) - Interface Changes

[Dolby]

Here are the following XML Changes found on the test server 6.11.06. The left side is what is on live server 8.30.06 and the right side is what is on the test server now 8.30.06. Changes are shown in red and some xml above and below the changes are left in for context.

LU27 brings some localization changes to the interface XML. You will notice a md5sum looking number (example: :d11b29863cfa7463:) next to each piece of display text. I talked to SOE_Bobble to get more information about this...

As part of our effort to improve localization, we have been moving to adding alias tags in front of all our strings.
The internationalization group can track their translations better using this system.
The tags are unique and persistent and are wrapped in colons at the start of the string. Example :<tag>:

Custom skins can remove the tags or reuse tags for the same text to have the user interface translated.

It was also said that we should keep our eyes open for a new uibuilder.zip to come down the pipe. (nothing new as of 8/31/06)

[lordebon]

oO.

A new UIBuilder.

/can't_wait

[Findarato]

I wonder what the new images are for.

[lordebon]

I'm thinking it might have to do with deities? If you notice, those gray ones (and the colored ones similar to it) -- there are 8 each, and theres supposed to be 8 deities, correct?

For those w/o the ability to open up those dds files, heres what they look like:

icon_ss21.dds




icon_is84.dds
