DISCLAIMER: I will not be providing any info related to UIs, nor my UI, nor my UI files or anything of the sort. One thing I can give you is the #1 ressource for UIs for SoD : http://www.eqinterface.com (It has tutorials and all the ressources you want, you do not need me). For the simple reason that I do NOT want to be spammed by hundreds of PMs and stuff. Enjoy.

So here's an idea I had while dreaming.. YEAH, dreaming! How about us SoD players show off our UIs?

Here's mine, 65 cleric main (not botted/not alted) 1280x1024

(Link to Xious' UI)

::: How to show off your UIs :::

1) Take a screenshot in game
2) Go fetch your screenshot in your main SoD directory (Usually named EQ000001.bmp, EQ000002.bmp... and so on)
3) Open your screenshot with your favorite image editor (I use photoshop)
4) Save your screenshot as a .JPG (It cuts the file size in half, if not more.)
5) Find somewhere to host your picture! (I use http://www.imageshack.us - it's free, can upload picutres up to 1.5megs)
6) Once uploaded, look around the page you should have a couple of links/lines you can copy so you can link to your image.
7) Get the above mentionned link and put the link in here! Simple as that!

(I made these steps ESPECIALLY so this thread does not, at some point in time, becomes swarmed with images, takes hours to load and above all, save the website's bandwidth.)
 
I am still looking for a cool looking target ring! Kinda like the one from the start post! Can you post the xml for it?

(*granted it was much better when I had my own WoW UI, but sadly it got lost during a format so I had to settle for this broken one) :(

How is it broken?

And just out of curiousity, was your WoW UI based on Drakah's WoW UI? Or made by you, or something else?

Your screenshot looks like it's probably the WoW UI I did (which was a modified version of Drakah's "Live" WoW UI). If it is, then it's basically as functional as that UI is capable of being on SoD... which is why I'm wondering if yours was based off Drakah's or not...

Could you rehost a copy of your UI? The link at http://members.cox.net/quinthius/wow_sod.html doesn't work anymore.
 
The download should work now, sorry about that!

I stopped playing SoD for a while, and during that time I had to delete the UI from my ISP's webspace to make room for some other stuff, and I had lost my original copy. Fortunately rab still had a copy (slightly modified, but basically the same) and I was able to get that from him, so everything's OK now, thanks rab :)

And for anyone else who is interested:

The only thing I'm still not satisfied with is how the loot corpse window is laid out, with the position of the "Link All" button and stuff. Eventually I'll prolly tweak that a little, but for now it's OK.

If you have any problems feel free to PM me or whatever!

I'll get to that.

Both versions were based on Drakah's WoW rip. Mine was just better. Or cleaner, if you will.

No. Flat out wrong. It took relatively little work for me to iron out all the meaningless gadgets and buttons that only work on live. I did just that with Drakah's original EQlive UI back in the day long before this broken one came into existence.

So no, that WoW UI is not "as functional as that UI is capable of being on SoD" as you put it.

I don't remember who modified it.
