Am I suppose to use the diamond install instructions or orb? And how exactly do I install this interface, I followed both install guides and nothing ever changed in game? My EQ2 folder is in its default install location.
Thanks for any help!

I recently tried to install this on my friend's computer after LU #12 and though the installation went fine, I crashed at login everytime until I removed it. I am sure that one or more of the features of this UI have a conflict with added features of the most recent Live Update (LU #12). If anyone figures this out, please post the fix for the rest of us.
Now to answer your question, here are the step by step instructions I used to install this successfully on 4 machines prior to LU #12:
~ Downloaded zip file to desktop...
~ Added a new folder named fantasyui to the UI Folder in the everquest folder (C: ---> Program Files ---> Sony ---> Everquest2 ---> UI (folder)
~ Unzipped the downloaded file (using Winzip 9.0) and directed it to the previously created folder.
~ Created a new text document in the everquest2 folder (screen where you find the UI folder) named eq2.ini (ensure it doesnt say eq2.ini.txt)
~ In the newly created text document type in (or copy and paste from here) the following code:
cl_ui_skinname fantasyui
cl_ui_subdir UI/
~ Once all this is done, it should work fine.
**NOTE**
If you have previously installed any other custom UI mods (i.e. EQ2map) a new text document titled eq2.ini may have already been created. You will need to open this one and change the code to the one above, or delete it and create the new text document as previously instructed (up to you).
Also, to utilize the EQ2map feature on this UI, you must have the latest .Net framework installed on your computer. You can get that framework downloaded from here:

**END NOTE**
Hope this helps!
