[Help] Modifying the Enlarged Quest Panel

Hello,

Recently I purchased a new monitor and adjusted the UI interface accordingly. Besides moving UI elements around, I also gathered several enlarged UI element mods. Most were added without further alteration, a few needed simple adjustments I was able to complete myself. But I've had some trouble with the Quest Panel.

I used the enlarged quest panel mod (downloaded from this site although ATM I cannot locate it to provide a link) as my base. The upper portion with the # of tasks, etc was unacceptable. So I stripped lines of code out until the upper portion reverted to LotRO standard. Then I tried to adjust individual element sizes to get the Quest Panel back to mimic the Enlarged size. But it has not worked very well.

Could one of the UI Experts on the forum provide some assistance? Most of the trouble is the wrong box size for a parent container and/or wrong x & y position values. Unfortunately this is a little too complex for me to work out.

I've included a screenshot so you can see the problems. As far as I can tell these are:
  • the right border of the Quest Log panel is missing
  • the overall parent container is too small - upper panel is blowing out of background on right.
  • the buttons (cancel, add to tracker, etc) at the bottom are missing
  • the right side (quest details) portion is too narrow (single, small fellowship, fellowship image being cropped)
  • the quest list vs quest details are not aligned (couple pixels difference)
  • the scrollbar is missing bottom 'endcap' element - this might be a missing UI ID from Turbine as I cannot recall altering this.
After a couple hours I've gotten as far as the code shown at bottom (blank lines indicate where material was removed to revert to LotRO standard). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Code:

        <Element ID="QuestPanel"                               X="6"    Y="116"  Width="776" Height="750"> <!-- Original: Height="704", 739 -->

As a fix things I will make comments about why it doesn't seem to work.

Quote:
the right border of the Quest Log panel is missing
the overall parent container is too small - upper panel is blowing out of
background on right.
These 2 are sort of related. The whole panel is the correct size. However, the background size is too small, and the width of the middle parts of the background are overlapping the right side parts. Try the following:

Code:
<Element ID="BaseBox_BG" X="0" Y="15" Width="776" Height="731">
        <Element ID="Base_Box_Silver_BottomMid" X="36" Y="695" Width="704" Height="36" />
        <Element ID="Base_Box_Silver_BottomRight" X="740" Y="695" Width="36" Height="36" />
        <Element ID="Base_Box_Silver_MidRight" X="740" Y="36" Width="36" Height="659" />
        <Element ID="Base_Box_Silver_Background" X="36" Y="36" Width="704" Height="659" />
        <Element ID="Base_Box_Silver_TopRight" X="740" Y="0" Width="36" Height="36" />
        <Element ID="Base_Box_Silver_TopLeft" X="0" Y="0" Width="36" Height="36" />
        <Element ID="Base_Box_Silver_TopMid" X="36" Y="0" Width="704" Height="36" />
        <Element ID="Base_Box_Silver_MidLeft" X="0" Y="36" Width="36" Height="659" />
        <Element ID="Base_Box_Silver_BottomLeft" X="0" Y="695" Width="36" Height="36" />
      </Element>
also change the Quest_Journal_Page element to: (fix width and height)

Code:
<Element ID="Quest_Journal_Page" X="-1"   Y="26"   Width="776" Height="718"> <!-- Original:  -->

Quote:
the buttons (cancel, add to tracker, etc) at the bottom are missing
The Y values are too high, forcing them off the bottom of the panel. Try changing the Y value of the 5 buttons to about 685:

Code:
       <Element ID="QuestHistoryButton" X="404" Y="685" Width="128" Height="20">
          <Element ID="TextButtonReference_Left" X="0" Y="0" Width="20" Height="20" />
          <Element ID="TextButtonReference_Mid" X="20" Y="0" Width="87" Height="20" />
          <Element ID="TextButtonReference_Right" X="107" Y="0" Width="20" Height="20" />
        </Element>

the right side (quest details) portion is too narrow (single, small fellowship, fellowship image being cropped)
A few of the elements need to be modified to make this wider properly. These 2 lines:

Code:
        <Element ID="SelectedQuestDisplay" X="344" Y="82" Width="414" Height="582" />
        <Element ID="SelectedQuestDisplay_SB" X="758" Y="82" Width="10" Height="582">
And:

Code:
<Element ID="QuestDisplay_BG" X="341" Y="79" Width="426" Height="586">
          <Element ID="Box_01_Background" X="1" Y="1" Width="424" Height="584" />
          <Element ID="Box_01_InnerShadow" X="1" Y="1" Width="424" Height="584">
            <Element ID="InnerShadow_TopLeft" X="0" Y="0" Width="9" Height="9" />
            <Element ID="InnerShadow_MidLeft" X="0" Y="9" Width="9" Height="566" />
            <Element ID="InnerShadow_BottomLeft" X="0" Y="575" Width="9" Height="9" />
            <Element ID="InnerShadow_BottomMid" X="9" Y="575" Width="406" Height="9" />
            <Element ID="InnerShadow_BottomRight" X="415" Y="575" Width="9" Height="9" />
            <Element ID="InnerShadow_MidRight" X="415" Y="9" Width="9" Height="575" />
            <Element ID="InnerShadow_TopRight" X="415" Y="0" Width="9" Height="9" />
            <Element ID="InnerShadow_TopMid" X="9" Y="0" Width="406" Height="9" />
          </Element>
          <Element ID="Box_01_LeftBorder" X="0" Y="0" Width="1" Height="586" />
          <Element ID="Box_01_BottomBorder" X="0" Y="585" Width="426" Height="1" />
          <Element ID="Box_01_RightBorder" X="425" Y="0" Width="1" Height="586" />
          <Element ID="Box_01_TopBorder" X="0" Y="0" Width="426" Height="1" />
        </Element>

the quest list vs quest details are not aligned (couple pixels difference)
The Y values for the backgrounds of the 2 elements do not match. They should both be Y="79". I have made the correct changes above.

the scrollbar is missing bottom 'endcap' element - this might be a missing UI ID from Turbine as I cannot recall altering this.
Ok, this appears to be an issue with the 'widget' element. From what I can tell, including these sections in the skin definition will cause the scrollbar to look like that. So for the time being, remove the entire 'widget' elements and children. That should fix the problem. So your scrollbar section will look like: (do it for both scrollbars)

Code:
<Element ID="SelectedQuestDisplay_SB" X="758" Y="82" Width="10" Height="582">
          <Element ID="scroll_bottom_field" X="0" Y="572" Width="10" Height="10" />
          <Element ID="UpButton" X="0" Y="572" Width="10" Height="10" />
          <Element ID="DownButton" X="0" Y="0" Width="10" Height="10" />
          <Element ID="scroll_top_field" X="0" Y="0" Width="10" Height="10" />
          <Element ID="scroll_middle_field" X="0" Y="10" Width="10" Height="562" />
          <Element ID="scroll_middle_field" X="0" Y="10" Width="10" Height="562" />
        </Element>

Thank you very, very much! With your changes applied, everything is corrected except the remaining buttons (which is just a matter of adjusting accordingly).

Once again, thank you, I really appreciate the assistance.
