Every time I change the chat font, new style or old style, I end up with a different one. It works in the chat text entry bar, but a different font corresponds in the display window. I have tried both the options chooser and moving the font I want into different folders and renaming it ad nauseam. Otherwise, this mod is excellent.


Any suggestions to fix the font?

Thanks.

I did made several windows in the UI resizable that are not resizable in the default Mythic/Atlantis client such as the Merchant, Training, Spell list, and Combat style list windows. There is no way currently to make the fonts in the windows rescale as you change the size of the window so while it is possible to make a few more of them resizable it would not do much good as the text in them would still be small and harder to read.


For example: The clock window could be made to resize larger but it would not do you much good to change it. The text in the window would stay the same size so all you would have in the end is a larger window with the small clock text displayed on it.

I am not sure which targeting windows you are trying to choose. You can select the style of the floating target windows using the Floating HealthEndPwr options. You can change the style of the bars used in the floating windows using the Status Bar Skins option.


The UI uses a Tabbed XP window similar to the one shown here:

Use the Tabbed Xp button on the Main Menu to toggle the visibility of it on and off.


You can change the style of the summary window using the Summary window options if you prefer to have the XP status displayed in that window.

Hmm it almost sounds as if you installed a newer copy of the UI on top of an older one. The display shown when you select the Chat Font option should look like the ones shown here with New and Old Style options available.

If you see other options shown there it means you installed one version on top of another and you will get unpredictable results when you select options from both. If this is the case, you should delete your current “gameclient\ui\custom” folder and reinstall the latest version of the UI.


If this is not the case and you are still having issues please post a screenshot showing the problem areas so I can “see” the problem you are having. I went through and tested each Chat Font when I changed them in a previous version and I got the expected results. I just went through and tested a few of them again and they seem to be working ok to me.

It looks like a great UI..Having the option to use both Emerikols and parts of Ghost UI would be great if it didn't cause my client to crash Im not sure if its because I am using the DLed game files and they have a different dir name or what the deal is. I have tried to rename files and such but no luck Any help would be swell.

i tried to do similiar things initially when i was trying to add derida windows to bob's ui by just copying and pasting files which didn't work out well to say the least... i would delete your custom folder and reinstall bob's ui and just go through all the options to get the look you want.

shul,


Thanks once again for all your hard work! Your UI is by far my favorite. Right now I'm running 1.94 v4.00 and would like to update to v4.03.


Is there a way for me to save the options I have already choose so I don't have to go threw every one again when I update? The process doea take a bit of time...just looking to save some.


Thanks!

The basic BlackWhite skin option in the Emerikol UI used the same Dialog skin that is available with the Viddi Skin option in BobsUI. I also have several items that were available in the Ghost UI as options in BobsUI. You can't generally mix and match parts from different UIs via a simple cut/paste of files. You have to understand how the files are used, how the XML code in the UI works, and where the files need to go.


@Faceloc

When I change versions of the UI, I sometimes move files around and change the directory structure. In other cases I add new directories and files. The OptionChooser program does not "store" the configuration of the UI in a single location. Each time you start the OptionChooser program it scans the directory structure and looks for small files named options.ini in each folder that indicate the "mode" for that option (on or off). The mode setting for each option is what determines the icon that is placed beside each option in the tree list view (Green CheckMark, Grey CheckMark, DarkGrey CheckMark, WebFolder, StarFolder, etc.) when you run the program.


Doing it this way allowed me to add new options without generally worrying about screwing up a previous option that is available. There is currently no feature in the UI that allows you to save the mode for each option and copy it between versions.


When I play with the options, I goto the SI portal in game and place my char there. I then alt tab to desktop, make a selection, alt tab back into game, and then walk through the SI portal to see the effects of the option change. This is also how I tested a lot of the options and typically get screen shots of them.


@elbeee

This is what I posted before about the chat window previously....


You can edit the chat_window.xml file with notepad and remove the background frame to see if you like that look. Find and delete this code from the file to check it out.


<!-- Background -->


<FullResizeImageDef>

<ControlId></ControlId>

<Position>

<GrowHeight>true</GrowHeight>

</Alignment>

<TemplateName>fresizeimage_dlg_bg</TemplateName>

</FullResizeImageDef>


If you don't like it, just select the chat window style you were using in the OptionChooser program again and it will restore a copy of the original file.
