Hello there. I think your UI mod is great! ...There's only one thing. I can't use it .

I extract everything into the right folders, but when I go into LotRO and go to the drop-down menu, your UI isn't there!

This is what the file path looks like:
My Computer/Local Disk D/Program Files/Turbine/Lord of the Rings Online/ui/skins/Delving Fields

Could you please help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Kaltzan.

Thank you for the constructive feedback, guys! I'll take them into serious consideration. next to that I'll update the skin with the added graphics in the Book 13 'expansion'. No ETA on that publication though I like to play the game too, you know

This is most definately the best, cutest, and most Hobbit-like of any of the uis so far. I laughed so hard when I noticed the attack button effect! Absolutely wonderful! The only thing I might suggest doing would be a zip to extract for the changes to make it the minibar. That way we don't risk screwing everything up by changing the code itself. Just a thought.

P.S. Not sure who to submit this too but the thumbs up and thumbs down icons are the opposite of how they should be. lol.

I so much love this UI skin, all the small details, everything! (specilly the auto attack mode, its just brilliant )

The only thing I can find bit annoying is when you're in an area with hope (like rivendell for example), then you cant se yourself or others in your fellow/raids arrows on the minimap, cause of the light hope circle in it. (Same with nodes and town directions) otherwise, awesome! Well done

Hobbit awesomeness, good job!

Thank you for those kind words

Great UI. This is one of the best ones I've seen made. I love it and will be using it for a long time on my hobbit minstrel. Gives me a little piece of the Shire when I'm roaming across Middle Earth. Thanks.

I just registered to say thank you. I downloaded this skin (my first) after somebody put a link up on the Sanctuary forum.
It is fantastic. I was a little concerned over sizing as I have my resolution set higher than your 'read me' states, but it was fine when I loaded it up.

Well done, on an excellent job keep up the good work.



Thanks,
Bado

I deleted the post because I thought maybe I did something wrong. I double-checked and found that I didn't. It is a problem with the mini version being off-center. I looked at your instructions on how to resolve it and my brain proceded to short circuit. I have no experience with the code to this and I'm not certain of where to make these adjustments.

I think for now I'll stick with the full version for my hobbit character and wait for your next beta to try again. If you would like to send me a new skin definition to try out, I would be more than happy to give it a try for you.

Thanks for testing it on a different resolution. It's a pity that the position of the main bar (aka "letterbox") is determined by x and y, starting from the top left corner. So if someone is using a different resolution it gets shifted.
I indeed positioned it for my own resolution 1600x1200.

I left this in the code to explain it a bit:
<!-- change the X and Y values to reposition for a different screen resolution. 0,0 being top left of the screen.-->

The top left pixel of the main bar is the "key" pixel. As the bar is 1024 width and 110 height, you need to deduct 110 from top (but I guess it cannot get off screen, so that doesn't really matter here), and your screen resolution minus 1024, devided by 2 for the horizontal coords.

So the X coord for you should be something like: (1280 - 1024) / 2 = 256 / 2 = 128. Maybe it's 2 or 3 pixels off, if your docked bars are still centered, but on your screenshot they strangely seem to follow the main bar =).

Let me know if you still got questions


EDIT: ow you seem to have deleted your post already, Elvite ..guess you figured it out already

Hello Elvite

Thanks for the kind words. I had the same problem when I first played the champion on a different server, where I normally play, and I had the VERY same problem you are pointing out. Like "what the..?", on my hunter all was fine, right? So I logged back to my hunter, where I had the skin still enabled, and evrything seemed fine (same screen resolution, same settings, etc). So I get back to the champion.. and.. "what the..?" .. everything is fine!

So I'd suggest: keep the skin applied, exit the game and log back in. I got the idea it's server side or something. Or at least partially.. Please try that. The position seems fine on your screen. So apart from that there should be no difference beteen my screen and yours.

Please report back from what I suggested


Oh and btw.. what you said: "when I use the original files, I get the mini bar". You're correct. I left a bit of code uncorrected:

<Mapping ArtAssetID="LetterBoxBottom" FileName="mainbar-small\letterbox_bottom.tga"></Mapping>


It says.. while it should be:

<Mapping ArtAssetID="LetterBoxBottom" FileName="mainbar\letterbox_bottom.tga"></Mapping>

So this goes for the skindefinition that is without all the repositioning and resizing stuff in it.
Sorry about that!

Mr. Wicked Mouse,

Love what you have done. You are truly a rising talent to keep an eye on. When I tried your 0.97 beta, I had no discernable problems. I am a big fan of minimalized main bars and when I saw you had done this in the new 0.98 beta, I was happy to see it as your interface is among my favorites next to LedMirage's stuff.

I am having problems with the new beta, however. I run the game at a resolution of 1280x1024. I do not know how much that factors into things, but when I run your latest beta without altering any files, (like the SkinDefinition file), the Main Bar graphics appear to be the mini version.


When I follow your directions to enable the mini version, (by renaming the SkinDefinition-small file and renaming the original file), the bag and option icons remain in their default position and are not moved under the shingles as intended.


Thanks again for your hard work. Hoping this isn't too hard to fix.

Wicked Mouse

Thank you, LedMirage. As I'm an admirer of your work, it does me great pleasure to hear that from you

LedMirage

Great work Mouse, I really like your use of the leaves and the overall cheerful mood the theme brings, this is quality work, keep it up!

Wicked Mouse

I will deffinately look into it, once I feel I'm done with the skin Still some (little) things left to do.
