GUI Skin: Notum Dovvetech 4.2

[Stranged]

Thanks for the direction Misat0. Unpacked, changed the mouse files and recompiled, worked great. Love your work, looking forward to the next revision

We need a new version tomorrow for the new option in option menu

Done ;oP

UPDATE 4.16.4.0a

[muha]

Note that the old version does not work after the patch! For instance, the planetmap doesn't open. So you must install the new version.

[Misat0]

If you want to keep an old version of Notum Skin for some reasons, read in this thread how to fix at least the planet map issue.

Btw. this will not give you the new config window options.
For those you may download any of the new skin versions and unpack the contained Root.xml to your Anarchy Online\cd_image\gui\default\OptionPanel folder, replacing the old one.

First I want to say thank you for working on and improving the ingame GUI. However, I have tried 4 times to get my planet map feature to work.

I have deleted the default folder with all of its contents and downloaded and installed the newer version of the Darkmini4. I have followed all the steps listed and I still cannot get my planet map to come up.

I looked at the variables.xml and it had the proper text from the other thread. I am not sure what to do at this point to correct the problem I am having.

These are the steps that I am following:

1. Delete the default folder in c:/ Program files/ Funcom/Anarchy Online/cd_image/gui
2. Downloaded the new version from this thread
3. Unzipped the Darkmini4 and installed it to c:/ Program files/ Funcom/Anarchy Online
4. Start up the client and select the settings tab.
5. General Settings/choose skin/select the GUIGFX.UVGI
6. Press OK
7. Start up client and still no planet map.

Any help that you can provide will be appreciated.

Thanks

For NotumEdge4 did you mean to move the menu buttons on the bottom bar back to the middle? The far left worked much better.

[Linkee]

I figured out what my problem was, so no need for a response.

Thanks again

Got a little bug in 4.16.4.0 DarkMini.

When I select Shortcut Bar Numers, I get the right wing graphics from the default skin were the numbers should have been.

Attempting to recover the default AO skin...trying to download the zip file and it says not found! Please fix.

I'll upload the files for both positions tommorow.

Weired as it works on my site (I personaly use DarkMini). Please check if you have chosen the right GUIGFX file in Launcher options (If you had an older version installed which had no shortcut bar numbers included ... any version prior to 4.5). If this is not the case I'll have to look into that.

Fixed.

Love how prompt you were about updating it. :-)

OMG! are you kidding? I'm still using your skin, I love it! I just noticed when I updated to your newest version the default skin was no longer in the GUI folder (like how before we had to rename it or whatever). I just wanted to download it so I'd have it ready in case I ever needed it.

I <3 your skin! Thank you so much for your hard work keeping it up to date for us!

For NotumEdge4 did you mean to move the menu buttons on the bottom bar back to the middle? The far left worked much better.

So, I changed this a little, the middle position is now default on all versions but can be changed to left real easily. Here are the instructions I also inserted in the first post.

NOTE: When you already downloaded 4.16.4.0a you need to re-download it before performing the following steps!

Change position of menu buttons
Perform these steps if you want to move the menu buttons on the bottom bar from the middle to the left:

1. Open your "Anarchy Online\cd_image\gui\default\Views" folder.
2. Delete the file "ControlCenter.xml".
3. Rename the file "LeftMenu ControlCenter.xml" to this: "ControlCenter.xml".

The text font size in all the information dialogs has gone smaller again. I recall this happened with an earlier release too.

My post applies to Darktech Mini:

In skill window ("U") buttons "save" and "cancel" were moved to the top line. This rocks.

However, in minimized view of this window, those buttons are still on top and, as a result, whole (minimized) window is wider than it should, producing graphic errors. Is is possible to move "save" and "cancel" buttons somewhere else (like to the bottom or th the separate line on the top) *only* in minimized view?

Regardless, this skin rocks as usual.

i would absolutely love it if you could put some sort of light image in the background for the inventory slots on the regular darktech, maybe something like on the mini darktech. its *extremely* difficult to keep track of joker glyphs, arcana glyphs, and chosen/faithful insigs (which have a pure black square icon) in an inventory with plain black spaces =( and as an engi i do a lot of t3 tradeskills, sucks hunting around empty spaces looking for an item i cant see ;o

any update to this would be welcome =) im probbly not the only one who wouldnt mind seeing it happen <3

[FixerPorta]

Overall I love this GUI! I have been using it for a while and have settled with the Darkmini as my favorite. Thanks for providing it and keeping it updated.

As I know you always ask for feedback, I just wanted to offer a little of my own on the latest version.
1) When you use GMS and get a shopping cart on your "P" map, the cart icon is now very light blue (instead of white) and VERY difficult for me to find. I have a hard time seeing that thing EVERY time now.
2) I really liked the old crosshair target when hovering over enemies, and the new one is very ugly in my opinion. I have the same opinion about the new "use" icon when lockpicking, opening chests and such. I do not like this change.

As with anything, if you don't agree, or others don't I will get used to them and learn to love it. =) Thanks again!

Is there any way to increase the size of my HP-bar in the MiniSkin?

I would like it to be about as long as the HP bar of my currently selected

I have encountered something weird. As I was following the steps to update my GUI at long last since the patch I followed the steps described in the first post of this thread to first restore the default skin, and then to download and install the DarkMini skin. Now I get an error message after accepting the EULA that reads:

"One or more files seems to be corrupted or missing. Click OK to restore the file(s), or Cancel to Quit"

I tried clicking OK, then the AO Patcher starts and it looks for a file, but in the end gives me another error message that this file can not be obtained from the server.

Please help!

Edit: I reinstalled AO and that solved the problem ofcourse, but if you could provide any info on how this could be avoided in the future for others I'd still be interested in your take on it.

Ohh, and thanks for a great skin and great work updating it
