I uploaded the B.G.M V1.4B just waiting for approval.
Cross fingers,man! I hope didn't miss anything this time.
I did double check and it seem fine with everything.
I only did PVE vitals for now,I will work on them some more and make some square styles later date.

Absolutly GREAT

Your Vitals are looking awesome ingame !

Is it possible to release an 1.4 Skinned Version of the 1.2 Deeds Window?
The Problem ist that i`m playing on an German Server (Maiar) an the new letterbased Deeds Window isnt so nice there because Zone Names are Different from Eng/Us to German !
For Example :
Lonely Lands is an L in German they are called Einsamen Lande it would be an E !
Its only an Graphical Issue , the window work otherwise perfectly

Hey Brygard,

now that I had made your skin fit to my resolution (1600 x 1200) and adjust everything almost perfect for my, you release your new version with the bags and menue-buttons above the main-button.

So, now again I will spend a whole evening with adjusting your skin for my resolution and my need.

What I don't like is the "mood-shadow" in the mini-map. It overlay some parts of the map.

Also I agree to Najia. I play also on a german server, so the letters aren't very comfortable for us. but I can live with that.

But all in all, i really like your skin. Much Respect from me.

Thank for your inputs,this helps me to better the UI abit more.

Deed:
Ok sorry about that,never had thought of the language differences.
Ok I be looking in to this some more.
In the future release I will make those deed letters as an optionals.
As I stated before,I planning to redo those buttons.
but your input made me realized what i need to do first.

Mini map:
OK, will make a different type.
Ok let me see what you mean about mood shadow.
It's the darker area around the inner ring correct?
Or:
Is it the arc glow that covers the upper right side?(the sheen).

No problem, Brygard. The goodlooking of your skin weights much more for me than that ;-)

Yes, the green arrow on your picture is what I mean. But even that problem is not to big for me.

I installed your new version yesterday and spent two hours to configure it for my needs and my resolution. But now it looks realy nice.

Brygard2007

Ok,thanks for your reply.
Now I know what to work on the mini map.

Yes I been in your shoes before about spending time configuring the xml.
Sorry about that ,I assume everyone knew about backing up the skin definition file.

I will put that info in the readme for the future release and the here on top of the page.

Thank you.

dbdolphin23

Thx for the reminder to make a backup ;-)

Is there any way to stretch the exp-meter (?) on the bottom of the mainbar over the whole screen? So that the mainbar still looks like on my picture, just the exp-meter is stretched from left to right?

Brygard2007

Depending of the toolbar code you used,but for starters back up you skindefinition file before the next step.

Theres 4 codes to look for and change the width to 1680 or less.
Example:

<Element ID="LevelMeter" X="0" Y="184" Width="1680" Height="30">
<Element ID="LevelMeterFill" X="1" Y="12" Width="1680" Height="6">
<Element ID="LevelMeter_BonusMeter" X="0" Y="0" Width="1680" Height="6"></Element>
</Element>

And

<Element ID="LevelMeterText" X="3" Y="10" Width="1680" Height="10"></Element>
</Element>

Example Pic:


If it doesn't work, paste me your complete toolbar code only.

Or:

Send me your skin definition file @

http://www.sendspace.com/

And I will figure it out for you.

Agreeing !!!
The Deeds Window ist just an minor graphical Fact !
Otherwise i love your awesome Work

An optional Reskinned Deeds Window in an Future Version would be marvelous !

Fine, thx a lot Brygard. I will look over that tonight when I'm home from work. Still have 2,5 hours to go :-)

And special thx for the good support Brygard **thumbs up**

Hey Brygard. I tried what you told me and changed all the points you told me to 1600. But nothing has happend.
I will send you my XML-File. But I don't have your E-Mail Adress, so i can't.

Firedancer

Thanks for the updates, Brygard! I appreciate how "complete" the skin is, and the new vitals are shaping up nicely.

One request, if possible: I'd like to see an Eclipse v3 (no gems) variant that doesn't include the square background behind the radar. I'd use your minimap graphics if it was just the dark round border with the blue and red gloss/glow effects. The square background just looks out of place to me.

Brygard2007

Firedancer:
Yes i had that in mind last saturday and was planning to release the minimap with no box background but something came up so I didn't had time this past weekend.
But yes defo will make one for that style.


dbdolphin23:
On that site just up load the file,hit the browse button and select you skin definition file.
Then on the bottom hit the square button to agree the term of service,once
you do that hit the upload button.
It will go to the next page where it gives you a link to download the file.
You don't have to put an email.
Just paste me the link.

I'll set up a email address to contact me once I create one I will post just in case.
The problem is,I dont check emails often just like the PM here.

P.s Thanks for comments and suggestions and votes.

Ok i got it to work on my side.

You will need to back up 2 files,the skindefinition file and the letterbox_bottom.tga.

Since I don't know what toolbar you used,I decided to do it from scratch using
the invisible movable toolbar on my folder section on options.

The reason for using this toolbar,is the resolution we are aiming at(1600).
So I used the 1680 invisible toolbar and edit your skindefinition file.

I edit the xml based on your screenshot.
I tried to get it same locations.

So this zip folder includes two files,the invisible 1680 toolbar and the new edited skindefintiion file that makes
the xp bar stretched.

Another note:
I removed the code of the R mail,the code was already in the xml file as defaulted.
But I removed the one that was in it already and left the one you pasted in the bottom,incase you edited some values.
