Then you should not have an issue.

Are you playing in full screen mode or in windowed one?
Did you change your resolution?
Did you change the size of the main tool bar? (It also changes the position of the eye.)

Maybe post a pic before and after, that could help.

I use win XP

Weird, maybe the setting isn't saved.

It could be an issue with read/write file security. What is your OS? Are you using and admin account on your computer?

Does anybody else has the same issue?

For the others UI, apart very few, they don't move static elements as I do, like the auto attack indicator or fervor pips. So it's normal that their skins don't have this issue.

As I wrote before the problem lies in LotRo's way to handle some of the UI settings, there's nothing we can do about.

When I logged out last night, my UI skin was Yessh.....when I log in sometime today...the main bar will be in the middle of screen. This happens every time on each toon....I dont change UI skin during play.
When I have used other skins, the main toolbar doesnt move.

Thanks for responding

Deewe

Hi Qayzar,

when you switch from an UI to another that moves elements, that can't be moved while in game with "Ctrl+\", like the auto attack indicator, you have to choose the UI, log out then back in.

Only when you get back into the game your UI will work fine, it has been an issue since launch.

Hi Deewe

Got a small problem...when I log into the game the main toolbar and the focus eye is in the middle of my screen....
To fix this I have to click on *none* for UI's..log out, log back in and change the UI back to Yessh....

How do i fix this?

thanks

Deewe

You mean the default new button?

If I remember well you have to remove the below line from the skindefinition.xml file

<Element ID="ToolBarButton_MainMenu" X="0" Y="0" Width="1" Height="1" />

As you can guess it hides the button.


Also when you will have re-enabled the button you might need to remove the following lines if you want to see the appropriate icons in the menu. I can't test it though. Please let me know and I'd appreciate if you could post a link to a pic of your UI.

<Mapping ArtAssetID="main_menu_normal" FileName="..\Graphics\invisible.tga" />
<Mapping ArtAssetID="main_menu_rollover" FileName="..\Graphics\invisible.tga" />

Hi, I'm in luv with this skin! I was looking for something as minimal as possible for moors raiding, and this is it.

Only one question - is there something I can click on to show the menu with legendaries, crafting, character, etc? I haven't got all the hotkeys memorized, so I end up changing skins each time I want to look at my legendary weps.

Otherwise... awesome!!!

Deewe

Glad it worked.

You have to show the file extension in windows explorer to actually see it, that was your issue.

The vitals are the same for all resolutions the different ones displayed are for the mobs. Their role is to indicate the type and difficulty of the targeted creature.

qayzar

It works just fine..Thank you very much

BTW didnt have the XLM option....

Are the various vitals for different resolutions? or is there some way to get the others? mine shows the bottom one in your picture

Deewe

I added your resolution to the mod, enjoy!

BTW:
=> the XLS "Edit SkinDefinition.xls" file should be used with Excel
=> the XLM "SkinDefinition.xml" should be edited with Notepad.

Maybe that was your issue.

qayzar

When I open the XLS file with notepad or wordpad, its just a lot of symbols.....windows wont open it.....

thx for responding

Deewe

Qayzar,

I'll add your resolution ASAP, can take some time so:

To open and edit the skindefinition.xml file you can use notepad or wordpad. Be sure to keep the .xml extension to the file and not replace it with a .txt one

Just to be sure, is the XLS file working?

qayzar

I use 1024x768....can you add this resolution? I can not open and edit the xml file.
Windows does not recoginize the program that you used


thx

cant wait to try this out

Deewe

Hello,

sorry it took so long, but I choose to not only add both requested resolutions but also an XLS file that will automatically generate the right code for any resolution. You just need to set your parameters in the file and copy paste the results.

Oh and glad to see you Brygard and Daimon been quite some time indeed! While not posting I've been lurking a bit and I saw both of you done great work on your own skins, really nice!
