it is the third option under optionial downloads under the main download. make sure u go to his site not the mod download in ign. Also hit downloads when u go to the site.

Shel, I have not been able to get your ME addon to function.

I run windows XP.

So far I have updated to your latest UI version and have downloaded and applied the patch several times following your instructions. Basically overwriting the Custom Folder with your small patch it says it is overwriting files but nothing I have done gets the window to show up in game, unless I switch to Mythics UI and shop that way. What am I doing wrong?

My bad I was trying to overwrite an old file I had left on the C drive when I moved the game file over to another drive so I had one less thing to dink with if I had to reinstall Windows. The patch works as intended. Thanks for your hard work on behalf of the community.

i had a question--- is it possible to get the ability to have your map follow you when u switch zones? i know other UI's i have used in the past had a check box on the maps of theirs to do that and it would stay with you without you having to manually switch maps anytimes you moves to a different area (particularly annoying in rvr when u could be fighting on a zone line)


i know its a pretty minor complaint, but i couldnt find an option for it in the chooser anyhow, and thats really the only thing i can think of atm that i would like extra on this UI.. besides that its everything ive wanted in a daoc UI lol. great job with it!

Many of the UIs, including BobsUI, that have options for both the 256 and 512 Valmerwolf maps changed the name of the Follow button to Mini. The Mini button does two things. When using the 256/512 maps it will reduce the map size from 512 to 256. When using any of the maps, it will toggle the option for the map to automatically switch when you move across a "soft" zone boundry.


If you click on the Map option in the OptionChooser program, there is text at the top of the HTML page that describes this. I included similar text for most of the windows used in BobsUI.


-- Text from the Option Chooser program ---


The Map window is used to display the geographical area for the zone your character is currently located in. The maps contain labels for various regions and points of interest. Map markers, which are continuously updated in the window, show your character and group mates locations within the zone. In addition, special quest markers are sometimes visible in the window to show the location of nearby quest NPCS and waypoint locations.


The window will appear when you click on the button labeled "Map" in the Main Menu or Command windows of the user interface. In addition you can type the command "/map" to activate the window.


The text at the top of the map window will show the name of the current area your character is located in such as Hibernia, Albion, Midgard, Shar Labyrinth, etc. The Info button is used to toggle the display of additional information about the current area that will appear at the bottom of the map window. The Mini button is used to toggle the view in the map window so the contents of the map window will change and follow your character as you move throughout the zone. The Quest button is used to toggle the visibility of nearby quest NPCs (yellow diamonds) and quest waypoints (red diamonds) in the map window.


The dropdown combo box on the left will show a list of each area within the current zone. The dropdown combo box on the right will appear when there are smaller zoomed in views available in within the current zone. When the custom mixed size maps are in use the right combo box will typically have an Overview item which when selected will switch to the 512 map size. You can select a new area from either of the two drop down lists to change the map view. Click on the Mini button at the top of the map window to return the window view to your characters current location with the smaller map sizes.

Ok, I just dl'd the new market explorer patch and installed as instructed. Now I have 3 issues: 1) The market explorer shows me what I want, but when I try to buy from them, nothing happens. I actually have to swap servers and run to the house and buy directly, which brings me to problem 2: When I try to open my map now (at least while in housing), the game crashes. I run Val's maps included in your UI and had no problems before now. Problem 3: Many of the skins do not show up when choosing in the options. I'm still running Windows XP but don't see how that could be any problem.

1. When you do a search using the ME window the game server searches all servers in the cluster for the item and it responds with all of them and not just the server you are on. This is a good thing. Unfortunately you have to go to the server the item is on before you can purchase it. You have to wait for Mythic to fix it before it can be resolved.


2 & 3. These issues are caused because you installed the ME Addon to an older version of BobsUI. This is a NO NO. Any addons I create are for the current version of the UI and not for older versions. You need to remove your current version of the UI and install the latest version 1.94 v4.03. Once you have the new version installed then you can merge the ME addon with it.

since im oviously too dumb to get the old hibernian-ui from si working, what are the chances that you add a hibernian theme to your package?

There was no Hibernia skin in the SI version of the game client.


If you are referring to the skin from the original copy of the game client there is an option in BobsUI for a skin based on it. It is called the Classic skin as shown in this screenshot:

If you are referring to the look of the skin when Mythic released the Shrouded Isle client the option for the skin based on it in BobsUI is called the SI skin and it is shown in this screenshot.

When Mythic released the Trials of Atlantis client, they added the ability to choose between several skins in the UI. It was at this point that they also added the ability for custom UIs to be developed for the game. At this time they added the Albion, Atlantis, Classic, Hibernia, Midgard, and Minimal skins options in the game client. There is an option in BobsUI for a skin based on the Midgard one as shown in these screenshots but not for the others.

Mythic later modified the Atlantis skin and created a new look for it. There is an option for the look of the new skin in BobsUI called Atlantis as shown in this screenshot:

I have thought of releasing a new version of BobsUI with some additional skin options such as those shown in these screenshots:

I could possibly add one such as this if that is what you are looking for:

yes, this is exactly what i was looking for (thought it was published with si), but ive tried hours with the editor posted in another thread and i suppose it will take a lot longer without it, so if you plan to do it anyway, ill be glad, but otherwise ill stick with the classic-option.
