KeizUI7a
by Keiz Dinzyar, Prexus server

18 Dec 2003

Now supports LDoN and various recent updates to the EverQuest UI.

Please note that KeizUI only supports resolutions from 1152x864 to 1280x1024.
Resolutions outside of this range will work, but are not preset in the given INI file. You will need to arrange the windows yourself. And you will more than likely wish to enlarge the chat font sizes in larger resolutions.

The best way to contact me concerning this UI would be to post in the EQ UI forum on EQDiva.
Modders, feel free to alter, add to, and distribute these files at will. All I ask is that you do not take credit for my original work. Thank you.

What's new in this version?:

1. Combat Abilities updated to include Skills button and the Effect buff icon. Removed Openings gauge as that feature is not yet live.
2. KeizCombat.zip contains a Combat Abilites window with the Openings guage for when it does go live.
3. KeizRCW3 now included. Addressed an issue causing "incompatible" warning messages.
4. Target window updated to address "incompatible" warning messages.

KeizUI7 updates:

1. KeizLoc3 now included. Added locs for Ykesha, LDoN, and more locs for PoP.
2. BigBank window now has the two Shared banks slots and the Shared platinum bar.
3. Overhauled the Combat Abilities window. Much sleeker, fits nicely next to the Target window.
4. Added Endurance percent to Vitals window.
5. HotButtons window now uses the updated button graphics.
6. Removed the custom Compass window so the LDoN features would work.
7. Slimmed down the Container window and removed clicky slots (Clickies window is much more flexible - KeizRCW2 now included).
8. Tweaked various windows to stop EQ from giving "incompatible" warning messages.

Overview of features:

1. Bank - Modified to have two columns of eight slots rather than the default four by four with wasted space inbetween.
2. Buffs - Includes numbers for each buff slot, allowing assessment of slots avaiable at a quick glance. Actual name of buff also displayed.
3. Clickies - Turned the EQUI_PlayerWindow.xml file into a window for right-click items. Fully customizable through the use of the KeizRCW2 utility.
4. Combat Abilities - Overhauled. Much sleeker, made to fit nicely next to the Target window.
5. Container - Slimmed down to reduce screen real estate usage.
6. Hot Buttons - Includes Primary/Secondary, and all eight inventory slots. This allows for easy instrument/weapon swapping as well as quick access to your bags.
7. Inventory - Similar to the classic inventory.
8. Loc - Built a loc referance guide into the Feedback window (also works in Help window). Fully customizable through the use of the KeizLoc3 utility.
9. Songs - Same changes as for the Buffs window.
10. *Spell Book - Using the t.King Elven spell book. Click here for more t.King art and more Spell Book options.
11. Target - Includes the spell casting-time bar and target health percent. Also flashes when Autoattack is engaged.
12. *Tracking - Stripped of Ranger-only features for use by Bards and Druids (Rangers may delete the EQUI_TrackingWnd.xml file to retain full functionality).
13. Vitals - Includes both the Player and Group information. The game thinks this is the Group window. I did this to allow me to use the Player window as the Target window so it would flash with Autoattack. This also freed up the Target window so I could turn it into the Clickies window.
