Modders, start your engines... (UI sample on Pre-order CD!)
Time to start practicing!
If you've got the character creation CD, it includes several moddable UI elements. (EQ2 installation folder)\DemoCreateIU\demo\ Here's a little sample I whipped up: All I did was change colors and increase the size of the Accept button. The XML format is VERY different from EQ1's setup... random sample: Code:
<TextboxStyle CaratColor="#FFFFC0" CaratWidth="2" Cursor="/Cursor.Text" Name="InputStyle" NormalTextStyle="/Fonts.FontArial14" SelectedTextStyle="InputStyle" SelectionColor="#222266" TextColor="#AAAAFF" TextPadding="3,2,3,0"/> Anyway, we have a lot to learn. Go forth and MOD! :D |

ROFL... can i use that? |
yes the new code is very different from EQ1, but it allows for alot more modding... dare I say "good job SOE"? I can only hope this IS how the EQ2 UI code will work.

I am very impressed at how this looks. I did some digging around and it really does seem like the UI will be easier to mod.
I sure hope I see a vert mod for it soon after launch, I just loved vert. |
SIDL Fiddle V2 in the works
Hi all.
I'm back to working on SIDL Fiddle for EQ2. I'm redesigning the program pretty much from the ground up to fix a number of problems (and there were a lot). I haven't received the starter kit yet, so if anyone has any info you can share on the new XML structure please let me know. http://www.barbre44.com |
glad to see your still working on that program, I loving using it to see my UI's before going into EQ.
|
Thanks! I think you'll be impressed with the improvements when I finally get it ready. It should be a much smaller footprint, use current Java runtimes, and have significantly less bugs.
|
How funny is it that when seeing the EQ2 UI one of the first things I thought was "Gosh, I wonder how Im (and others are) going to start modifiying this."
|
Well, looks like it's gonna be fun playin around with it. I'll be there will be some extremely interesting stuff out soon, (to say the least).
|
Thats awesome, there were some really nice custom UI's for EQ.
