Looking good. I don't know how you did it... my code looked exactly like yours... I must have missed something somewhere. I need to find a tutorial to learn to make my own.

congrats on the 35k mark I'm working on the purple version for 3.6b right now... I'll release it later. It has a changed radar as well as a few other things.

Just wanted to let you know that when I downloaded the "updated" version 3.6, it's still 3.5. The bottom bar is all borked still, so I checked the skin definitions file and I didn't see any of the changes you suggested in your guide.

that seems to have mostly worked, obviously some of the new buttons look funny as they have no art in your ui. I will leave that up to you

I circled the funny parts in red. just a bag and the new menu thing. When you make the next release I'll make it in purple and maybe that new grey green color of the launcher if that is ok with you... as well as another background? I need to reinstall Paint shop in the next day or two.

thanks again for the help.

I also just noticed the buttons that are in the center on yours are underneath the chat bar still... not sure if they renamed that either... turbine must be playing games with us.

omg it is as I feared. Good chance that every skin here is not unusable only because they changed the name of a single file.

To fix that, I think, doing the following should help:

find line where it says
Mapping ArtAssetID="LetterBoxBottom"
into this
Mapping ArtAssetID="letterbox_bottom"

that one little character should makes the difference ..


edit: oh Liftedplane could you edit your last post, remove the huge picture and add a link to it instead

I can lend you a beta account next time... I figured that was why it looks so funny... I'll take a picture and post it, sadly I don't yet know enough about skinning for lotro to make the changes... however after the update I'll be updating my purple if that is ok with you



so I did a little bit of tweaking... no luck, I get this

everytime. reload try this... etc etc.

I am sure you will know more, it is probably something stupid I am overlooking.

Musje: Could you please indicate which setup are you using where the buff windows wont popup again? (ie. are you using default, mini, some other res than 1680?) Cos I took great care to test that they would work, and they do work for myself.

About the mob type indications .. there are those but I changed them a bit. I removed the icon and modified the vital frame accordingly. Signatures are now marked with red color around the portrait. Elites have half of the frame red and Elite-masters all red. Above that there are no need for marking because of the 3D-portrait-animation thingy.

Well, I use the mini (without portrait)
I noticed you moved the icons to the other side (and edited the vital frames also, though hard to see)

Is there any indication for nemesis or arch nemesis in the mini now? (as there wasn't before)

As for the resolution: 1280X1024
The top row worked, but 2nd and below not.

Hey Daimon,

Not a problem, and appreciate your reasonings

I'm more than happy to go on to modify it accordingly for this resolution in future anyways - so no problems there.

roll on SOM ! (1 week to go!)

I wish alt+tabbing was my friend
My computer takes really long tabbing back into the game (I need a better one :P) that's why I mainly play windowed at the moment. Only I hate the light blue my start menu and border windows gives when aero is off. Especially when I'm in dark places in the game.

And I've changed some stuff in the skindefinition.xml again because the buff windows aren't the right size once again (making tooltips fail at popping up)

And could you please put back some indicatior of signature and such, as they dissapeared with 3.5 for me (never downloaded 3.4 as I manually made the change you did)
