<<< a small thing. It would be nice of you could detach the "target" from the HP / endo / mana bar, cause it makes it too high for small resolutions.>>>


You can already do that. The button is in the same window as Weapon Styles and is called the "Target" button.

Ok so Ive been a Pod-mod/Whatties User for a long tiome and I love its design. Well everyone and their mother been tewlling me to try this out so I did. Although I like podmod design I love how transparent your UI is and its very well put together. I really like the fading windows like the chatbox.


There are some key things I really Miss from Whatties so I imported them into my ghost UI but it doesnt look as nice now :/


Some things you might want to consider (I'll post ss's when i get home for examples)


Mini Group Window: I like Whatties because although a little bigger It shows the class of each player and the bigger names are a bit easier to click but sot so big as a healer helper.


Floating Sprint/Face/Stick: They are just 3 icons you can place anywhere just like your floating end and power. Although most people including me have them hotkeyed I still use them from time to time and w/taking a bar space is nice


Whatties Target: Your target bar is HUGE. Is there anyway to get an option to just make it smaller?


Mouse-over stat info: When I scroll over my stats on my Mini-stat window it tells me where I got everything (example: Qui: Base 60+101 Buffs 75)


Valmerwolf maps: I can import these BUT does your UI support Maze maps like when u get in maze area it goes to that maze's map instead of ex: Emain Matcha


Those are just some thingsa I've thought about, but otherwise really nice UI, I'll definately be stickig w/ this one Just hope I dont need to keep the mesh for a select few whatties windows

"Also, is it normal that chat windows can only be resized to a minimum? I have the impression that my old chat window could be made much smaller."


The smallest you can get it is if you use the chat windows with 4 tabs instead of 5. That will let you get the window down to about 4 lines of status and 4 lines of chat with a small font. Anything smaller is a little questionable in my opinion.


"- Aloca has a cool health window cause it's pretty small and you can click through it, same goes for his RP/stats windows"


The summary and target windows are click-through. Only the "move" button is non-click-through so you can actually move the window around. If you want it to be more transparent, right-click the move button to get the alpha window to show up.


"What is pulse and what is it good for? I found out it displays the last buff you cast, but what for?"


This is for classes that have pulsing spells. It basically shows them what they're pulsing most of the time (sometimes it bugs out). It's helpful when multiple music classes in the same group.

" I cant get my combat window closed (the window that has all the styles listed on it), ive tryed everything and just cant figure it out"


If you're having problems with stuck windows you may have to delete your Char-NNN.ini file. So if you had a toon named "Giggity" and used Catacombs client, you would go to C:\Mythic\Catacombs and look for Giggity-100.ini or something similar (the number might be different). Rename the .ini file to say "Giggity-100.ini.old" and login and see if your windows go unstuck. You may have to redo your hotbars and window positions however.

I'll add it to the list.


"Floating Sprint/Face/Stick: They are just 3 icons you can place anywhere just like your floating end and power. Although most people including me have them hotkeyed I still use them from time to time and w/taking a bar space is nice"


Forgot, but it was on the list.


"Whatties Target: Your target bar is HUGE. Is there anyway to get an option to just make it smaller?"


Yeah, I was considering making smaller bars, I'll add it to the list.


The original intent was previously during the bar designs, I solo'ed a lot, and in solo fights you really want to know how you're doing vs them so you know exactly when to do something and when not to. For example, if my 2h'er was doing approximately 20% damage to them, I knew that if their HP reached 19% or less and I was in trouble (less than 10% hp), I had a good chance of killing them with one swing.


The other reason is a slightly fatter font is needed and falls off the bar if it's not big enough. But the font can be moved off the bar and the bar made small so we'll see.


"Mouse-over stat info: When I scroll over my stats on my Mini-stat window it tells me where I got everything (example: Qui: Base 60+101 Buffs 75)"


Yeah I basically didn't want to update 5 or so windows with that feature at the time.


"Valmerwolf maps: I can import these BUT does your UI support Maze maps like when u get in maze area it goes to that maze's map instead of ex: Emain Matcha"


Yes.

I love your UI Teeka but I had some problems with this update =/....


When I click on anything on the top right toolbar (Inventory, Group window, Char stats) it is off center from the actual bar. This doesn't bother me too much but it can get annoying.


Also the large font is nice for high resolution users and all but I use 1028x720 and the font is huge. This wouldn't be a problem if when I turned the font size to small it changed at all but it doesn't.


The new remove quest button isnt updated on this version which is kind of disappointing......


Other than that its a great UI just hope these things can be fixed.

I ended up with a seperate window with combat styles on it. I have the feeling it's supposed to be part of the UI but is there any way I can get rid of it?

Run the configuration tool and go to "daoc tool bar" and click on the normal one.


"Also the large font is nice for high resolution users and all but I use 1028x720 and the font is huge. This wouldn't be a problem if when I turned the font size to small it changed at all but it doesn't."


You need to relog to see the changes.

Yeah i know.
