Four questions, any of which may belong to other forums, help?

[sindyr]

First let me say that I have installed several of the interface mods to my system, and they mostly work well. I have even modded the xml on a few - such as turning the moddified 8 slot accross bag into a seven slot across bag. I felt proud when I got that to work.

Last night I spent at least 6 hours trying to get 3 things to work on my system. Here's what I need help with.

First: I have downloaded a couple of inventory mods that more or less help eliminate the "paper doll". The two I tried were:
http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3315
http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3322

I installed both into the same customui folder I have already succefully installed other mods like the aforementioned bag mod. Both files were named:
eq2ui_inventory_inventory.xml

Problem is, when I went into the game, the old traditional inventory UI is there unmodded and unchanged.

Why?

Second: I love using the EQ2 map.
http://maps.eq2interface.com/
I would furthermore love to be able to resize it, what changes would I make to the xml to permit to resize the window?

Third, also relating to the above EQ2 map mod:
How do I turn on/disbale the Fog of War effect? Before I installed the EQ2 Map there was a checkbox I believe - now there is not.

Fourth, and most difficult:
I installed the Maintained Spells mod at:
http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3997
Here is a picture of how it looks:
http://www.eq2interface.com/download...ew.php?id=3811

It installed flawlessly and work flawlessly. However, I want to change it. I want the description text, that you can see on the left of the icons, to still be to the left of the icons, but I want the text to be right-aligned, i.e., snugged up tight to the left side of the icons. I tried modifying the PackLocation, PackSize, TextAlignment, etc, but nothing I did made things any better.

Example snippet of XML from that mod:

So what do I need to modify to make the text right aligned? I have tried a lot, but nothing has worked, and I feel like I am stumbling around in the dark.

What do I need to do to alter this interface mod to right align the text?

Thanks.
