Description:

A wood and ivy inspired interface with 14 bottom bar configurations to fit almost any ui placement preference/screen size. Includes new movable bottom bars, as well as a left and right minimalist style.


Revision History:

Version 2.4 09/05/2007 - "PixelFix!" - Corrected misaligned level numbers on the vitals bars.

Corrected errant "eye" overlays on elite/signature vitals displays.

Added a few more box items with proper theme styling.

Version 2.3a 08/24/2007 - Corrected wrong "silver box" images. The gold
box frames were to be in a different release...

Version 2.3 08/23/2007 - Major Revision! With the release of Book 10, alot of assets (images) in the UI were opened up for modification. This release has over 50 new modifications, some of the highlights:

NEW Character, Target, Pet, and Escort vitals bars - now bringing the "wood" feel to a majority of the interface!

NEW "Gold" progress bars and various box outlines.

NEW "Low Res" Icons (player and target bar graphics)

ALT of work went into this release, thanks again for all of your votes and comments, ingame and out!

*Special Note: Some of the older "legacy" variations are now moved to their own archive! I will be updating these as well. This had to take place because with the new asset releases, file sizes for this suite (would) get quite large and eventually, surpass the file size limit here. Look for "Fenir Wood Legacy" if those are more to your liking!

Version 2.2 07/19/2007 - "Pixelfix!" (TM) - The small 1 pixel "ghosts" above the movable bars are gone. Dead. Kaput...

Version 2.1a 06/28/2007 - "Pixelfix!" (TM) - Corrected the wiggling combat eye graphic.

Version 2.1 06/26/2007 - ALOT of new things!

Added a new "in combat" representation of Sauron's Eye to remove the last remnant of other author's piecework. Alot of work went into this release, I hope you all enjoy it. (I'm horseless and almost level 40 at this point! Maybe I should start taking those donations... LOL!)

Added a new movable "centered" version of the minimalist bar- "Fenir Wood MovC".

The original "toy" "Fenir Wood Mov" is there to show you how to think outside the box as far as system buttons go.

Added new movable "right" and "left" versions of the above with the combat indicator on top to further open up screen real estate - "Fenir Wood MovR" and "Fenir Wood MovL" respectively.

Due to issues with not being able to "reload" the UI, you will have to restart the client again after selecting these styles.

See below for instructions, the only movable bars are the ones listed above. (Each style's SkinDefinition.xml also has detailed instructions inside)


Instructions: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

"Fenir Wood Mov" "Fenir Wood MovL"

Open the SkinDefinition.xml in Notepad (or your favorite editor) and look
for the instructions a few lines down regarding modifying this file.

You will see:

<!-- Edit the line below "ToolbarField" ONLY and set the Y="###" to your screen height size minus 95 -->
<!-- In this case my screen size is 1440 X 900; 900 minus 90 equals 810 -->
<!-- You can play with the X and Y Values but altering anything else is NOT recommended! -->

<Element ID="ToolbarField" X="5" Y="810" Width="516" Height="90" Detach="1">

<!-- Do NOT edit anything below this line! -->

Edit the value above using the calculation I set above and save it. (Make sure you save it as xml, NOT txt!

If you want to change the left to right positioning, thats the "X" value.

"Fenir Wood MovR"

Same as above, but you MUST also set the "X" value. It's a little trickier.
My example from the xml file:

<!-- Edit the line below "ToolbarField" ONLY and set the Y="###" to your screen height size minus 145 -->
<!-- In this case my screen size is 1280 X 768; 768 minus 145 equals 623 -->
<!-- Next set the X="###" to your screen width size minus 480 -->

<!-- In this case my screen size is 1280 X 768; 1280 minus 480 equals 800 -->
<!-- You can play with the X and Y Values but altering anything else is NOT recommended! -->

<Element ID="ToolbarField" X="800" Y="623" Width="480" Height="145" Detach="1">

Its not hard if you think about it, just remember to restart the game after selecting one of these for the changes to take effect.

The remaining styles in the package require no special modification to the files.
