UI mods, 2007-2013

Drox UI 2.6.13

by Craeat · 2010-04-09 · version 2.6.13 · 2.30 MB

Whats new in 2.6.13
- Added the new Short Duration Buffs window to all versions of the player buff windows.
Whats new in 2.6.12
- Added the new reference to the new VGUIBuildingNPCs.xml file in the index.xml file.
- Change the adventure exp percentage variable to use the same varaible added in the default UI. This now displays to the 100th place (I.E. 90.22%). This is only for the adventure exp, this new variable has not been enabled for the diplo and crafting percentage as of this time.
- Added a new Info Bar display option for the Adventure Lvl Exp that displays the current lvl exp / exp TNL as added to the default UI.

Whats new in 2.6.11
- Fixed a bug where the HP bar of the mob in the offensive target window would dissapear if you were locked of engaging the mob. It now shows gold if you are locked out of engaging.
- Updated the guild interface with the latest fixes from Sony.
- Updated bug where the version number in the ingame control panel didnt match the actual version.
- Changed the Offensive Target HP % to use the same variable as the new option in the default UI. This should fix the reports of the mob HP % lagging behind the actual % at times. This does reintroduce the bug where the same mob's HP % is different between the Offensive Target and Encounter window showing all the mobs currently engaged. This is because the variable used to track the HP of the mob in the Offensive Target and the variable used to track the HP of all the engaged mobs are different variables and the one in the encounter window lags behind sometimes. The most accurate representation of the mobs HP and % is in the single target offensive window. Currently there is no way to use the variable from the offensive target in the encounter window as it only know the info for the current target and not all targets.

Those updating will need to copy the textures folder along with the usual update of the windows folder.

Whats new in 2.6.10
- Updated the guild management window with the changes added with this patch.

Journal Mod 1.0

by Drox · 2007-06-02 · version 1.0 (3/7/2007) · 1.17 MB

This is a stand alone mod that has just two features. First, the classic book designed quest and abilities journals. And the second feature is support for standardized map mods.

The book Journal design is widely available as part of other mods including my own Drox UI.

Special thanks to Miggy for keeping the book design from the early beta UI alive and updated. I used Miggy's work as the basis for an expanded version now included in the Drox UI and in this stand-alone Journal Mod. In this version I've enlarged the book, created new caligraphic page titles for every section, added graphical tabs and turned all of the modern looking buttons into text buttons.

HotKeys

Mother's Hotkeys and Main Bar

by Mother9987 · 2007-09-05 · version 1.0.1gfx10 · 323.97 Kb

I welcome feedback in my released thread or my portal page!

Version 1.0.1
Fixed a bug where the left secondary hotbar still used the default UI graphics.

Fixed the bug where the crafting utility bag and diplo container in the character window were broken with this mod installed.

Version 1.0.0
Just a bunch or replacement graphics for the default vanguard hotkey bars, bag bar, lag meter, and main menu.
Note on the gfx version number
Because of the number of times I've had to update all my files for minor graphics changes, I'm now including a graphics number in the version. If you use several of my mods and I update every file with a graphics patch and nothing else (only the graphics part of the version number goes up, not the rest) then installing the patch for any one of those mods you use will update them all. So instead of downloading 6 files and installing them all, you would only have to do 1. Just trying to be helpful.

Byrin's Small Riftway Map

by Byrin · 2008-04-17 · version 1 · 151.38 Kb

This is the small Riftway map I created for my Gold interface, but I figured it would be something that many people would want for there own custom UI.... so here it is.

InfoMap Advanced

by Soresha · 2010-07-20 · version v2.4 · 3.88 MB

InfoMap Advanced v2.4

InfoMap is a Vanguard UI map mod for use ingame. It is a joint project with contributions from Cobal, Drakonar, Malacki, Maraka, Nadger, Soresha, Techywarrior and Xndyr.

The advanced version of the InfoMap mod includes significantly more functionality than the default Vanguard UI.

• Enhanced terrain maps showing roads, rivers and major structures.
• Higher resolution maps of the cities.
• Browser window with interactive dungeon maps for Ancient Port Warehouse, Nusibe Necropolis and Halls of the Pantheon. The dungeons are divided into sections which can be controlled by left/right clicking on the map sections.
• Resource data layers with PoIs for metal, stone, wood and cloth. Additional data layers for services and diplomacy PoIs plus unusual resources including Corrupted Steelweave and the spores in the Ruins of Vol Tuniel. All data layers can be toggled on/off. Distinct markers for each of the PoI types, with a key to the markers given in a separate window.
• Labelled PoIs on the diplomacy/miscellaneous data layer for quest mobs and other locations, e.g. Pantheon and Griffon quest targets, prestige title NPCs and psionicist gestalts.
• Zone information layers which can be toggled on/off, showing the name and coordinates for each zone plus the harvesting resource tiers, mob level ranges and plot prices for housing areas.
• Text layers showing names and locations for towns, outposts and dungeons which can be toggled on/off.
• Direct access to the web-based PoI maps on Soresha.net providing a full look-up service for the PoI database, with many different search and display options available.
• Improved riftway window providing quicker access to all riftways in Telon, easily accessible for viewing at any time.
• Resizable mini map, with functionality to zoom in/out by double/right clicking over the map. Optional buttons on the mini map to open the windows for the riftways, browser window, key and web-based PoI maps.
• Three optional hotbars which can be re-positioned in layout mode. Two hotbars have buttons to control the data layers for resources and other information. The third hotbar has buttons to open the riftway, browser, key and web-based PoI map windows.
• Option for initial selection of resource data layers according to character's harvesting skills, triggered by moving the mouse over the mini map after logging in.
• Smaller icons for ingame and CustomPoIName.txt file PoI markers.
• Map images optimised to require less memory.
• Essential craft information for attuning catalysts, upgrade recipes, spell components and enchantment socketing included as a tab within the browser window.
• Harvesting resource and node information included as a tab within the browser window, which direct lookups for each resource and continent using the web-based PoI maps on Soresha.net.
• Details of civic parleys in different regions, the buffs they grant and their threshold lever values included as three tabs within the browser window.
• Optional, free-floating button to open the web browser window at a redirector page, providing easy access to any web page from within the game.
• UI Customizer program to configure InfoMap from outside the game. Allows unwanted components of the mod to be disabled which may improve performance/FPS (results will vary depending on other factors such as PC hardware and graphics settings). Also provides options to set the default data layers displayed when logging in.

The map mod can be installed on it's own or combined with other map standards compliant UI mods. It can also be used in conjunction with a CustomPoINames.txt file for your other PoIs.

InfoMap Basic

by Soresha · 2007-09-30 · version v1.0 · 2.19 MB

InfoMap Basic v1.0

InfoMap is a Vanguard UI map mod for use ingame. It is a joint project by Cobal, Nadger, Soresha and Xndyr.

In the Basic mod, PoIs are given as coloured dots and other markers, superimposed on the maps. Locations are included for all six tiers of resources. Altars, bind stones, riftway stones, bankers, exchange brokers and mailboxes are also given.

Rift Map Small

by Grimmier · 2008-04-07 · version 1.1 · 47.70 Kb

This is a mini version of the rift way system window.

Basically i removed the maps, as they aren't really needed all the time.
Put the prices and stone color on the buttons, with the location and lvl range in text next to it.

I made this mostly because I notice a little lag using the map version of the rift system, and half the time it takes me longer to find a rift on the map, than it does to just know the name.

I set the layout of the files, so you can just drop them into any UI mod with InfoMap on it, and only have to add 2 lines to the files.

Riftway Map

by Yandar · 2007-06-03 · version 1.0 · 546.71 Kb

Riftway Map
This is a ingame map of the riftway system.
After installing it, make a macro (or type it out) with "/togglewindow Riftway" to make it work. Enjoy

Miscellaneous

Celesta Dashboard

by Taiisien · 2007-02-27 · version 1.0 · 66.82 Kb

Done as a request off a popular WoW add on, this functional mod allows 48 mini hotkeys to be placed around the mini-map and includes the compass. This mod is just the dashboard and my treeview colors mod, the total "Celesta" mod will be a future release. As you can see from this screen shot I have removed the "main" hotkey bar, though the two left, two right, and one vertical right from the default ui are still all able to be used if required. The mod is movable in layout mode and is 440 pixels wide, It is designed to fit around the minimap on a 1280 x 1024 screen. The chat windows to the left and right are just my liking and give it an overall dashboard feel.

MiniCards Diplomacy UI Mod

by Soresha · 2010-05-06 · version v1.5 · 292.25 Kb

MiniCards Diplomacy UI Mod (v1.5)

MiniCards is a diplomacy UI mod for Vanguard which provides alternative strategy and parley windows plus new card library and presence windows. It is available as an option within CoreUI3 (v1.6 or later), CustomUI and InfoMap or can be manually installed into other UI mods.

The features of MiniCards compared to the default Vanguard UI are as follows.

• Smaller strategy window with playing cards that are two-thirds the size of the default UI. The appearance of the cards is close to the original, but not identical. The font size of the numbers is the same.
• Less mouse movement required during parleys since the smaller cards and other controls are closer together. The speak and listen buttons have been moved to the strategy window and the farewell/complete button duplicated. (These controls are only seen during parleys).
• Free-floating strategy button to open and close the strategy window directly, making it easier to check your deck before starting a parley. Can be hidden using the toggle button on the strategy window.
• A new card library window for changing cards, opened directly from the strategy window. Displays 30 cards on each page in the same miniature card format. This window behaves like the diplomacy tab in the abilities window, allowing you to drag the cards to the slots in the strategy window.
• Two banks of buttons providing controls to load and save 10 different decks of cards. These are attached to the strategy window and can be shown or hidden as required. Also a button on the strategy window to clear all cards from the current deck.
• Buttons to quickly clear the deck of all cards, report the current status of levers within a city and display the parley options on a targeted NPC.
• A smaller, more compact parley window which uses the same miniature playing cards. Also displays the full names of both the player and the opponent NPC.
• A new miniature presence window reporting your current presence for each station, intended to assist when switching gear to meet presence requirements for NPCs. Can be hidden using the toggle button on the strategy window.
• Both the strategy and library windows can be closed by right-clicking on their window handles.
• A toggle button on the strategy window to open/close the bank of station gear buttons in the GearSwitcher UI mod (if this mod is also installed).

Mother's Clock and Compass

by Mother9987 · 2007-05-24 · version 2.0.0gfx6 · 476.13 Kb

I welcome feedback in my released thread or my portal page!

Version 2.0.0
Added round clock to match compass and a text window meant to bridge them with current chunk, earth and telon time, and distance to waypoint marker.

To use:
All 3 windows are individually movable and toggleable in case you don't want one or more of them or want them laid out differently than I suggest.

use /showwindow Clock or /hidewindow Clock to show or hide the round sky clock.

Mothers LFG Indicators

by Mother9987 · 2007-08-31 · version 1.0.0gfx10 · 310.67 Kb

Since SOE has decided that making the new nice LFG window useless by ambushing us with LFG every time we log on, filling the list with people who are not actually LFG, I thought a UI solution might be the way to go.

This mod puts a small indicator on your screen of whether you are LFG or LFM. In addition, a single left click will change your status (LFG/not). Right clicking in the LFG window will bring up the LFG search window.

myUI Silver Color Pack

by Xndyr · 2007-06-20 · version v1.0 · 6.18 MB

This is the first release of color packs for myUI. (only tested with myUI v1.10, I think it should work fine with older versions but I haven't fully tested it yet).

These texture files will change the color "theme" or look and feel of the overall interface by skinning almost all of the windows in the game. Not every texture has been redone, but the backgrounds have received a slight transparency and the borders of nearly all windows now will are the same color tone as the top background border that is used for myUI's information windows.

this color pack provides the Silver color theme.

Installing this color pack is simple. Just follow the instructions included in the zip file and you're all set, as long as you have already downloaded the actual myUI complete interface mod.

The large tombstone image: Targets your nearest corpse and loots everything in it.

Plug-Ins and Patches

Apxikog

by Maelduin · 2007-06-13 · version 0.01 · 6.24 Kb

First, you might be wondering about the really, really awkward name. Maelduin just doesn't fit for (eventually) a compilation name, and "original" looks pretty close in most latin languages. So I went with the most phoenetical spelling of it I could come up with, in Greek! Ha! ...obviously my first attempt at modification since I suck at naming it.

Anyway, you probably want to hear about Apxikog.

After playing various MMOs, and becoming addicted to addons and interface mods for WoW, when I came to Vanguard I was feeling pretty naked. But I loved the look of the Default UI...but still felt naked since it was lacking a few things.

Specifically at the time, I wanted to see NUMBERS across all of my bars!

Combo Keys for CoreUI3

by Grimmier · 2008-04-07 · version 1.1 · 8.95 Kb

NOTE: This is a plug-in for the CoreUI3 mod. You can use it in other UI's but you will need to change out the background images used on the hotkey slots.
