Extended and enhanced panels
And choose between default or less store buttons
Introduction :
Here is a collection of extended and enhanced panels codes gathered in two skindefinition files :
- The first one offers the E&E panels with the default ingame store buttons.
- The second one removes some of the most annoying/intrusive store buttons.
These custom panels are designed for high resolution screens (resolutions below 1024X768 are not supported, 1440X900 or higher is highly recommended).
These panels are the same than those embedded in JRR Skins Collection except the extended barter panel.
This release can be used as well as a skin to enjoy convenient enhancements within lotro's default themes (as a hero or as a monster player) or as well as a skin developing resource.
After installation and ingame selection of the skin on your character, you have to logout and relog to enjoy the new panels settings.
Step by step installation :
- Download to your desktop the zip file hosted on this page.
- Unpack) it (using windows right clicking unzipping embedded function, or with a dedicated software as 7zip (free software), Winzip, or Winrar...).
- Once the zip file is unpacked on your desktop, check if the new created folder is called "ExtendedEnhancedPanels" or "ExtendedEnhancedPanels *something more*".
if it is the longer name, double left click on it to enter the folder then you should be facing the right "ExtendedEnhancedPanels" folder.
- Copy (or cut) it, then paste it in your ..\Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\ folder.
Tipycally, on windows vista and seven it looks like C:\ User(s) \ your account name \ documents \ The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\
on Windows XP, it should look like C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\
If ui and/or skins (don't forget the *s*) folders don't exist, then create it, and then copy in it the ExtendedEnhancedPanels folder.
- Now, the skin will be available in Lotro the next time run it !
- To allocate the skin to one of your characters, log him/her, then open the ingame option panel ( *O* key)
--> select UI settings tab --> go to "user current skin" and use the scrollable selection box to select Enhanced Panels.

Expanded Bio panel
I've done the hacking on the SkinDefinition.xml files to make a bigger Inspect panel so that the Bio is usable. Adra, are you interested in having this to add to your package? I'd rather not try to fork it, but I want to get this out where RPers can get it.
Can't see any way to embed a picture, but you can see what it looks like here.

Not working as of U22
Just FYI, but I downloaded and installed this yesterday, and it seems to be not playing nicely with U22.

@Adameon
The deed log is a panel which is modified by the developers each time a region is added to the game, this would break the custom code very regularly,
in addition, the new source code should be available only when skinning pack update is released, which is a rare thing.
For these reasons the deed log won't benefit a larger edition in JRR skins.

Re: MAP
@Adameon
Hello, indeed the map size is not intended to be customized.
The map code from the skindefinition is just a tweak to make it appear at its original size.
It does not actually support customisations.
I tried some edits a few years ago and the results were not good.
On some resolutions, the map was displaying ok, but the coordinates reported from the cursor moving on it were wrong.
The best way to use this code is to use it as it (1024x768) or to simply remove it from the skindefinition.xml file to restore the default (full screen) map.

MAP
How can I change the size of the map?
I have tried editing both skinDefinitions files, saved and restart launcher but it doesn't work. The map has the size like the original .xml files although I changed it to 1920 x 1200.
................................
<!-- Map Window, by Eclipse -->
<PanelFile ID="ID_UISkin_MapPanel">
<Element ID="MapBackground" X="0" Y="0" Width="1920" Height="1200"> </Element>
</PanelFile>
<!-- End of Map Window -->

Re: Saruman rings
Sorry for the extra long answer delay
Saruman rings are a custom design of a progress indicator picture (the Saruman ring) for a specific boss fight, in the tower of Orthanc's raid.
The custom version included in this skin shows a numerical indication of the current stage of the fight in addition of the visual state of the ring.

@ Tangaar
Hi,
the plugin manager panel is, by default, resizeable on-the-fly with the mouse cursor.
Adding its code into a skin (for example to change its default size) would break its ability to be resized by user.
Indeed. thank you

Thank you @Adra! I tried to edit in a new value but apparently it doesn't work, so I'll comment out the section. Thanks for the prompt response

@Urwendil
Hi,
In order to restore the fullscreen map, you have to manually edit the skindefinition.xml file located there :
...\Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\Extended panels V3\_SkinDefinition\skindefinition.xml
or
...\Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\ExtendedEnhancedPanels\_SkinDefini tion with less store buttons\skindefinition.xml
depending if you use E&E Panels with all or less store buttons option.
Open it with Notepad or any other text editor, then delete these lines (located at the half of the document) :
<!-- Map Window, by Eclipse -->
<PanelFile ID="ID_UISkin_MapPanel">
<Element ID="MapBackground" X="0" Y="0" Width="1024" Height="768"> </Element>
</PanelFile>
<!-- End of Map Window -->
Don't forget to save the file, still on .xml file format.
At the next lotro launch, the map will be restored to fullscreen.

World map
Hello,
I've been using this for a while and already a fan of it, thanks!
However, the windowed size world map isn't convenient for me and I'd like to resize it up. Tried editing the XML file to no avail. How can I make it look larger?
TIA

This is brilliant. How did I ever live without this all this time? The dressing room alone is worth the price of admission, and the map/questlog side by side as well.
One thing I'd love to see in a future version is the Inspect window, so that one can read more than four lines of someone's Bio at a time.
