Description
This is a new massive rewrite the MyUi Builder.
It can now be updated with new interface options by just adding XML files in the correct format and it will show up in the builder without having to recompile it. Anyone who knows how to write skins should be able to modify them to work in this.

It includes the interfaces that were in the old MiUi but any new add-ons will likely be done with the patch/add-on feature to keep the size down and so anyone can add there own skins easily.

Note: that for XML to work in the builder they need to be in the correct Builder sub-folder and the header and footer needed for it to work in LOTRO need to be removed as they are applied by the builder.

I hope skin builders will upload there own skins as addons for this so anyone can put together the different elements and create exactly the skin they like.
If anyone wants a new category drop-list let me know and I'll be happy to add it.

Quick FAQ
* The UiBuilder folder goes in "%Documents%\The Lord of the Rings Online\UI\Skins" (%Documents% is a "My Documents" folder redirect)
* You must run the UiBuelder from windows
* You must give your UI a name
adding new interfaces
* if it is already made as a addon for UiBuilder you can unzip them to the UiBuilder folder
For other single panel/single res UIs
1 unzip the UI to working directory

2 If there are no files other than SkinDefinition.xml as part the skin you can skip this step
Create a folder with the skin name and move anything other than the SkinDefinition.xml into it.
This is to prevent the other files from showing up in the UiBuilder drop list and so there are no conflicts that can show up if skins use the default name for images they change

3 open the SkinDefinition.xml and remove
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<opt>
	<SkinName Name="***"></SkinName>
from the start of the file and
Code:
</opt>
from the end. this will let it combine correctly

4 If you skipped step 2 you can skip this too.
Look for any line starting with "<Mapping ArtAssetID=" it should look somthing like
Code:
<Mapping ArtAssetID="**" FileName="**"></Mapping>
for this you will add "..\{folder}\{Skin Name}\" to the "FileName=" for example in Supercraft it goes from
Code:
<Mapping ArtAssetID="crafting_background"	FileName="super_crafting_background.tga" ></Mapping>
to
Code:
<Mapping ArtAssetID="crafting_background"	FileName="..\crafting\Supercraft\super_crafting_background.tga" ></Mapping>
5 Save the SkinDefinition.xml then rename it to {name of skin}.xml

6 Move everything from the working directory to the UiBuilder Sub-Folder corresponding to the drop list the skin should show up in

Multi res guide will come later

The Old MyUi Builder can be found at for anyone who wants to see it.
http://www.lotrointerface.com/downlo...rUIupdate.html

Source is still included if anyone wants to look at it.

Note on Version Numbering x.y.z
x will be large changes that has the potential to break some addons
y friendly expansion of builder (ex. adding of a new drop-list category)
z bugfix, background or purely "under the hood" change

*Huge applause!*

I'll try this out tonight!

EDIT: Found a bug. When using the Smallbar option it looks for the graphic under "Toolbar" instead of "Toolbars". ClearVitals seems bugged too... Not enough time to check properly tonight.

Been using this for a while and following it closely. Thank you for your hard work on this project and for continuing to expand upon the original base.

Any chance of making the tool either remember your previous settings or read those settings from the xml file?

"Any chance of making the tool either remember your previous settings or read those settings from the xml file?"

I had option saving in MiUi but the way it's populates the drop-boxes now broke it. I know a way to fix it but it would hinder my ability to add any new drop-lists.
I'm looking into finding a 3ed way that would let it remember your choices and still be easily edited.

tried out the builder but can't figure out for the life of my when i click the make button and its done. where is the skin that i made with this tool. Seems like a nice tool and would love to see it used as the main form of skin creation.

just noticed my 3rd try at using the tool. that it indeed made the skin this time.
my mistake. On further use looks like there might be a few option in that tool that are broken seems simple border and the fade scroll bar are broken. Also have trouble with the bdrx 1680x1050 dressing room option. But from what does work this will be a very usefull tool when all the kinks are worked out.

It is such a huge re-write and re-imagining that inevitably there will be bugs.

I just think you have created an amazing thing here, Old One, and... I'm amazed at what my little skin tool has become under you.

So, many thanks!

What I have found;

Simple border references a folder called "Graphics" that has been renamed "Border"

Faded scrollbar also points to the "Graphics" folder.

Sadly, I have found that the toolbar (I select SmallBar1440) is not visible - has this been modified for the f2p client? If so, then it explains it as I am running the Euro client...

Thumbs up Hi The Old One.

OMG you stole my skins....J/k

Someone paged me about this tool and had a quick view at it and found it funny where the folder called stolen.

There I found my mini map skins.

I just wanted to tell you I have no problems with it in fact you have my blessed permission to use my skins.

I will look at it more deeply later on when I finished my UI mod and see what I can add as add-ons,well see what happens in the future.

"OMG you stole my skins....J/k"
I thought I had asked about everything I included. In my own defense I believe your minimap was in MrJackdaw's original MyUi.

I hope this too. This is a very nice tool. It makes customizing your own skin just the way you want an easy operation. The more skins and addons are included, the more customization will be possible.

T could have sworn I asked for permission way, way back when... If I didn't I apologise! I'm sure I credit you in the file though... There was something else too... *Scratches head and comes up blank* I think there is something of Daimons...

Hehe,yeah I remember that pm you sent me way back then.

Yeah I was just playing with TheOldOne about his folder called stolen.

I found it funny and had to post about it that's what the J/K for joking.

I am *totally* loving this! I do have a question, though. There are many UI's on this site that are no longer being maintained/updated, etc. (I'm thinking specifically of the 'Cutsie Beta' UI). Is there ANY way someone could add the artwork to MyUI with the proper XML voodoo if the original author can no longer be reached?

What system requirement

I am a Linux user. I am not sure what you use that runs the program. I am guessing .NET ?.? I had to boot to windows to use this and then go back to Linux to run it. I dont use Windows that often unless I run into something like this.

Also where does this store the new UI. I would like to take and process like 3 verisons depending on What Res I am using. I could not locate the save file. Everytime I would make a new name, I still just had one option.


Thank you for the great work.

Faldiin

P.S. small bar (short bar) is off on the numbers on the exp bar.

Emberleaf:
The way the builder is setup most of the time it would be easier it fix the old UIs and post them as a patch but it is possible to cut up and add just about anything to the builder since the rewrite.
faldiin:
Yes it does use .NET v2.0 the early betas used 3.5 but I switched as i know .Net 2.0 can be installed in wine. It's hell and high water to do it and most programs still don't work, and I don't know if this is one of them, but it can be done.
As to how it builds it only builds the SkinDefinition.xml to point to the skin files it does not copy any of them to a new location. I have improved it so you can have more than 1 skin built with this but it still only builds the SkinDefinition.xml.

Thank you for your quick reply. I can work with the 2.0 I know that it somewhat works. Just have to look at wine tricks. I will try the new verison you put out and give it a whirl.
