This is the latest release of my "patch resistant" /viewport UI for 1024x768 resolution. Completely updated for the LDoN expansion.

It is designed for a /viewport 0 0 842 600 setting with the UI windows on the right side of the screen and chat boxes on the bottom.

The zip file contains instalation instructions and a copy of a .ini file that can be used to insure the windows line up correctly.

The UI is primarily designed to be mouse user friendly, and for any class.

The hotbutton window has a tabbed section that gives full access to all inventory and armor locations.

The group window includes all player stats and has large clickable areas for targeting self and group members.

The buff and song windows are compact with small icons, buff names, custom icon backgrounds and numbered buff slots.

The "target" bar is very long and has 10 sections to it. There is a casting gauge under the target lifebar that also has 10 sections to it. I find it usefull for heal timing.

The "target" window is made from the player window, so it will have a flashing red outline around the target and casting gauges when attack is on.

The inventory window is very compact and has no stats in it. The autoequip area is the class animation.

Containers have the primary, secondary, ranged and ammo slots in them.

The spell cast bar has a transparent background and number labels for the spell gems.

The chat window contains the template for its custom borders, as well as the templates for the borders for all other windows in the UI. All custom graphics animations used in the UI are defined in the xml code for the chat window.

The UI is fully compatable with the default EQUI_Animations.xml file. The custom one included with the UI is for the custom buff icon backgrounds. If a patch makes changes to the EQUI_Animations.xml file, you can just delete the custom one and the game will use the default backgrounds.

The modified xml files are:
EQUI_Animations.xml (only modified to use custom buff icon backgrounds)
EQUI_BuffWindow.xml
EQUI_CastingWindow.xml (reduced to size 0 0 so it is never visible)
EQUI_CastSpellWnd.xml
EQUI_ChatWindow.xml
EQUI_CompassWnd.xml
EQUI_Container.xml
EQUI_GroupWindow.xml
EQUI_Inventory.xml
EQUI_PlayerWindow.xml
EQUI_SelectorWind.xml
EQUI_ShortDurationBuffWindow.xml
EQUI_TargetWindow.xml (reduced to size 0 0 so it is never visible.)

Modified graphics files are:
window_pieces01.tga
window_pieces02.tga
window_pieces03.tga
wnd_bg_dark_rock.tga
wnd_bg_light_rock.tga
scrollbar_gutter.tga

Added graphics files are:
buff.tga (Custom buff icon background)
lunbar.tga (For the gauges in the "target" window.)
vertgauges.tga (For the gauges in the group window.)

Custom graphics files are from Raxthorn, Vertebrea, and Lunakin

This UI survived, fully functional, trough the last 7 months of patches, and 2 expansions, with no updates untill 9/12/'03 update to remove xml compatability messages.
