Quartz 1.9.2 (PoR) Update
 
Description
Quartz UI Theme
DarkSir23 (Kendelar Darkharmony - Rathe)
originally by Statix Cinderblade - Xegony (1.6 and earlier)
Version 2.0

-------------------------
Installation Instructions
-------------------------

If you already have quartz installed or this is your first install you will need to delete your
old Quartz directory and make a new one (this ensures that old quartz files do not corrupt the
installation), then do the steps as follows.

Make a directory named Quartz in your uifiles directory and copy the contents of this zip into
the quartz directory (make sure the path is uifiles/quartz , not uifiles/quartz/quartz).

In the quartz directory is a program called "UI INI Manager.exe". Running it from the Quartz
directory will show you a list of the characters that have been logged on previously, and show
you the UI that they are currently configured for. Hilighting a character and clicking
"Apply UI Template" will configure that character for the Quartz UI.

NOTE: Please try to already be in 1024x768, 1200x1024 or 1600x1200 mode before you replace your
UI file.

It is common to have to Resize the chat windows, Move the Named buff box, or move the mp3 player.
They are intended to be in the wrong posistions so nothing gets lost or is too big for the
screen, just Unlock the box by rightclicking on the border or on the box itself then move it to
your desired position.

1.9.1 (And Newer) Note: If a section of the UI appears missing (near the bottom right corner),
you will need to assign a key to Hotbar 2 (I use Ctrl-H) through Options -> Keyboard -> UI, then
activate Hotbar 2 and move it into place.
-------------------------

By default, Quartz comes configured as following:

Type: Caster
Color: Grey
Buffs: With Buff Names
MP3 Player: Installed (if you want to get rid of the mp3player, delete the
EQUI_MusicPlayerWnd.xml file from the quartz directory)

----------------
Modifying Quartz
----------------

To change features, look in the "mods" directory. Here you will find the following folders:

DashBoard-Inventory : Contains an Inventory Screen that will superimpose over
the HotButtons window. You'll need to set the Alpha
and Faded for the Inventory Window to 100 for this to
look ok.
BuffWindow-WithNames : This folder has the vertical Buff Box with named
Buffs listed. (d)
BuffWindow-WithoutNames : This folder has the horizontal Buff Box with icons only.
GroupWindow-Short : Use this If you are a caster class (with a spell bar), or a
melee class with a Combat Abilities Window. (d)
GroupWindow-Wide : Use this if you do not use spells or a combat abilities window.
SDBuffWindow-WithNames : A new textured Songs window for Quartz (d)
Hotkeys-Single : Older Quartz Style - One Page of Hotkeys, no support for
the new ones added in Depths of Darkhollow.
Hotkeys-Multiple : Two pages of Hotkeys available by default, one above the
other. Pages 3 and 4 are like the default UI. Make
sure you assign a key to open HotKey Window #2, then
move it to its expected location. (d)
QuartzMusicPlayer-1280x1024 : This is an optional mod for the everquest mp3player for
the 1280x1024 resolution, meant to go above or below the
main chat window. (d)
QuartzMusicPlayer-1600x1200 : Same as above but for the 1600x1200 resolution.
ActionsWindow-Normal : Actions Window with 6 "Clickables". See below for details (d)
ActionsWindow-16QuickClicks : Same as above, but with 16 "Clickable" boxes.

* There is no mp3player mod for 1024x768, it simply won't fit. BUT if you want to use the
* mp3player mod somewhere else on the screen (like at the top) you can still use either
* of the two mp3player mods.

To use these new xml files you need to goto the desired folder and copy the .xml file within to
the uifiles/quartz folder replacing the file that was already there. (Windows will prompt you to
replace the file if its already there, just hit yes.)


To change the background pack, look in the "Background Packs" directory. Here you will find the
following folders:

Quartz Classic : This is the default. Originally designed by Statix.
DS Blue : This is an alternate background pack, by DarkSir23. (Unique to Quartz 1.7.1
and above)
DS Red : Another alternate background pack, by DarkSir23. (Compatible with Quartz 1.9
and above)

To use these new backgrounds, simple copy the contents of the directory (A bunch of .tga files)
to the uifiles/quartz directory. You will be prompted to replace the existing file. Hit yes.

Clickable Items: At the upper right of the dashbar, are 6 clickable inventory slots. By
default, these are preconfigured with the Leg, Feet, Left Finger, Left Wrist, Right Finger,
Right Wrist slots. You can customize these by opening the EQUI_ActionsWindow.xml file. Search
the file for Clicky1, Clicky2, etc. I've commented what you need to change to modify the
item that is shown. See Appendix A at the bottom of this document for a list of available
Clickable items.

Hope you enjoy the theme

v1.8
* Added OOW Additional Buff Slots.
* Added OOW Additional Spell Gem.
* Added an optional place for a list of pet buffs. New ActionsWindow is avaialable.
* Removed Quartz2Blue background packs, as I couldn't update them to match the new
OOW Buff Window.

v1.7.2
* Integrated Dorkenthor's TargetOfTarget mod into the Target Window.
* Added optional Inventory Window.
* Combat Abilities Window Added. Takes the same position as the Spell Gems for casters.
* Changed the optional non-caster group window to GroupWindow-Wide, for people without Spell
or Combat Ability Windows.

v1.7.1
* Integrated the Quartz Blue background pack by Tadayasha.
* Integrated an all new DS Blue background pack by DarkSir23.
* Rewrote a lot of the instructions.

v1.7
* Added Group Leadership AA Bar to Player Window.

* Changed Sta label to End label.
* Modified Flashing Attack Indicator for Player Window.
* Added Target indicator box w/ con color around the target portion of the target window.
* Added LFG Button to Group Window.
* Added a third chat window to the default config.
* Minor tweaks to make the UI compliant with the current requirements (Got rid of the "Your XML files are incompatible" error every time you zone).

v1.6
* After the Jan 9 2003 patch the selectorwindow and pet window had to be tweaked slightly to comply with something verant changed (this was causing the 'your everquest files to not match' garbage to come up every time you zoned.
* Made changing mods easier, and removed the config.bat that doesn't work on XP.
* Added in a Quartz mp3 player mod looks nice!
* Quartz 1.6 comes with the patch released after version 1.5 so it is completely up to date.
* Gave the Short Duration (songs) buff box a texture.

v1.5
* Fixed the Stablity (Likelyness for verant patches to NOT break UI) by a large amount by reconfiguring how Quartz gets its graphics/templates, the only way it should break is if verant adds in a new 'required' window like RaidWindow.xml, which is a quick fix.
* Quartz should now easily work with other mods (such as the spellbook graphics mod
* Fixed the Non-Caster spell casting bar thing that made me thing those emails were from crazy people.
* Improved the GUI memory useage: This should cause Quartz to lag alot less on those systems with poor videocards that don't adapt to alphatransparency all that well

For more information on how these changes will affect other mod's and/or how Quartz gets its attributes (all UI makers should follow this design) please goto http://skins.machin-shin.net

v1.4

* Noncaster groupwindow now has a casting bar
* The actions window is Moveable but has a light border around it (i had this removed at one point, i don't know why its back)
* The bazaarsearch window has been removed (it was made to make the bazaar window bigger and has nothing to do with the crashing but its invalid since you can resize the bazaar window with the new patch)

Love the update of this UI. But i think there is a small prob with it. When you get a box that askes you yes or no there is no button to click. Example I installed this ui was very excited and happy started to play i died so there for needed a rez well when the cleric rezzed me a box came up saying the usual "So and So would like to 96% rez you. Would you like to be rezzed?" Of course i did but the prob is there was no Yes or No button to click. And that was the same for any box that would come up asking Yes or No Niether button was there. So my question is is that because i use my ui at the 1024 x 768? or is that just a bug that needs to be fixed?

Great Job on the UI love this UI. So im just letting you know.

Thanks for the comment! I've been very happy with the feedback on Quartz so far. Glad to see I'm not the only one who missed it.

As far as the confirmation dialog goes, it's something odd about resolutions and such, and I think happens quite frequently, even sometimes with the default UI. I believe the way you fix this is go into your UI file (UI_charactername_server.ini), and remove everything from:

[PopDialog0]

to the next [] set. Do this for any [PopDialog#] entry. And it should work.

Let me know

I will be posting an update for pet buffs, as well as an update for OOW, as soon as I make sense of it. But yes to both questions. Hopefully soon on the pet buff one.

Love it!

I have used Quartz for a long time mow, and I simply couldn't ask for more!!

I will be anxiously awaiting updates for OoW.

I dont know if this is appropriate, but this must take up a good deal of your time and if theres a way I can make a feduciary donation to you for the hours spent I would be glad to.

one quick question though: how difficult would it be to explain to me how to change which inventory slots are directly to the right of chat box area? currently Pri / Sec / range / ammo slots are there, can they be changed to display any inventory slot? (I have a few click effect items I would like the easy acess too)

I tried my hand at a quick fix (just adding labels for the new buff slots and spell gem) but had no luck. I did manage to crash EQ a few times however. It looks like those two things are the only UI errors it's complaining about.

Good luck DarkSir23!

Though I never thought about it, I certainly wouldn't turn down donations. I can be paypalled at jay (at) bub (dot) org.

I'm looking forward to feedback on the 1.8 update. I'm not completely happy with the pet spell buffs, because it messes up the icons (they don't fit) for the tabs. But other than that, I'm happy.

Holyblade: The boxes in question are in the EQUI_SelectorWnd, to change the item that shows up, change the EQType number for each section. I'd recommend against changing the names or anything, of you'll have to do so later in the file, as well.

Possible Inventory EQTypes (Thanks to the Complete List of EQTypes post):

Inventory EQType:
0 = Charm
1 = LEar
2 = Head
3 = Face
4 = REar
5 = Neck
6 = Shoulder
7 = Arms
8 = Back
9 = LWrist
10 = RWrist
11 = Range
12 = Hands
13 = Primary Slot
14 = Secondary Slot
15 = LFinger
16 = RFinger
17 = Chest
18 = Legs
19 = Feet
20 = Belt
21 = Ammo
22 = Top Left
23 = Top Middle Left
24 = Bottom Middle Left
25 = Bottom Left
26 = Top Right
27 = Top Middle Right
28 = Bottom Middle Right
29 = Bottom Right

Upgraded from 1.6 to 1.8 today. First tried installing over 1.6, which seemed to work but I ended up with all Omens items appearing as pearl chokers. Tried deleting and reinstalling fresh, same issue. I'm a UI newb, any idea how I fix this?

Hmm, shouldn't be a UI issue. The UI doesn't replace any of the item graphics. Lemme ponder this for a moment or two...

Ok, looks like it is. Enclosed is a quick fix file, that should clear up the problem.

http://www2.dragonpro.com/quartz/do..._Animations.xml

I'll include it with the next update, which should be in a day or so.
