1. mkdir c:\everquest\uifiles\mynewui
2. copy EQUI_TargetWindow.xml from the frequi package to this directory
3. in game /loadskin mynewui 1
All the pieces not in mynewui come from default, so you only get the updated target window.
You might need window_pieces_v1.tga too in the new directory.

There must be a 3rd file because this still just gives me the default taget window.

That's the problem I was having that I mentioned as well.. I tried copying the files over one by one, and they weren't displaying for some reason, so I was thinking there was a particular file or files that at a minimum were required to be in a UI folder. It's not rocket science, but it wasn't working for me and I got tired of CTD's.

No, there is no minimum. Let's try again:
1. mkdir <place where your everquest is>\uifiles\myui
2. copy EQUI_TargetWindow.xml and window_pieces_v1.tga to <place where your everquest is>\uifiles\myui
3. /loadskin myui 1

for my UI
you need the following Files for that to work
EQUI_Templates.xml
EQUI_Animations.xml
EQUI_TargetWindow.xml
window_pieces_v1.tga
cwnd_bg_clear_rock.tga
scrollbar_gutter.tga
window_pieces01.tga
I made the UI to be used as a whole not as pieces

Thanks for that list, I'll give that a try tonight. I knew there had to be a 'base set' required because what dkaa was saying to do has worked in the past.

WIll try this when the emergency patch is done. I would love to use it as a whole but can't since I CTD entering the game. None of the fixes have worked for me.

Loaded -----

EQUI_Templates.xml
EQUI_Animations.xml
EQUI_TargetWindow.xml
window_pieces_v1.tga
cwnd_bg_clear_rock.tga
scrollbar_gutter.tga
window_pieces01.tga
All I get is the default UI -- guess I'll wait for someone to update the UI at some point.

Try this

This works on all my chars with the fresh install, you just can't size the Short Duration buff's (Sony did not fix this bug)
The only thing that I can think of, maybe some of you guys may not be using all lower case for the the true / false change. It is case sensitive
di28889 wrote:found the spot that is crashing the UI with the Default UI settings,
it is the Sizable part of the window. I sent in a BUG report. hope they will fix that soon, I love the sizable part of it
to fix you need to edit the EQUI_ShortDurationBuffWindow.xml line 1494
<Style_Sizable>true</Style_Sizable>
to
<Style_Sizable>false</Style_Sizable>

I finally got it to work, and here's the two things I did differently..
A. I had my buffs window in default UI arranged vertically. When I loaded frequency and hit ALT+B to bring it up, I CTD instantly. I loaded default UI back up, arranged it horizontally and reloaded frequency and it seems to have worked.
B. On the next account I tried using the UI on, I just disabled the 'keep your layout' option and that worked fine also.
We'll see if I get any other CTDs doing anything else as I start using it..

I use this too the MQ2 ( and your non-MQ2 version for those sad after patch days). Thank you for the quick update!
