a noob to UI's question

[cameronkain]

I found two individual interface files in the download section I wanted to use for the hotkey and target window. When I extracted them it was just the files (eq2ui_mainhud_hotkey and eq2ui_mainhud_target). I read the stick note on how to: install an interface so I created a folder under /UI named mods and placed the two files in it and then created a eq2.ini file in notepad with the lines

cl_ui_skinname mods
cl_ui_subdir UI/

I then saved it to the /Everquest II directory

I then loaded up EQ2 and it was still my old setting. I was wondering what am I doing wrong and if anyone had some suggestions on how I can get these two files to individual interfaces to work while keeping all the rest of original stuff from changing.

Thanks in advance

are you sure the file isn't eq2.ini.txt ?

[cameronkain]

Yea I made sure it wasnt eq2.ini.txt. It was showing up as a configuration file after I saved it

you should have....

..\sony\Everquest II\eq2.ini <----- the one you made
..\sony\everquest II\UI\Mods <----- directory your mod files go


if this doesnt work.... Download one of the complete UI's with the eq2.ini built for you and the correct folder names....

When I extracted them it was just the files (eq2ui_mainhud_hotkey and eq2ui_mainhud_target).

Those filenames should end with .xml - are you sure they do? ie, eq2ui_mainhud_hotkey.xml and eq2ui_mainhud_target.xml

Depending on what your decompression program did, you may have lost the filename extension..
