FFXI UI 0.10a

I just downloaded the patch and updated my UI dats to comply with the changes. As far as I can tell, SE added Hasso and Seigan icons and created a new Third Eye icon. I opted to keep Faranim and Lazureus' original Third Eye icon instead for now but let me know which icon you prefer. If you guys like SE's icon better, I'll use it instead next time.

SE also modified the other UI dat file slightly in order to add the new graphic for the tell chat filter. If you try to access chat filters using an older version of my dats, the game will crash so I recommend not using an older version of my dats with this update.

Oh and I also may have changed the chat log a little bit since last time just to tweak a few things too. I hope I included the right version....

Anyway, please post any comments here, especially if I missed some crucial UI change in the patch. I haven't tested this at all since I really should be studying, and will be getting back to the books right now!

You can download the DATs from filefront.com, filefactory.com, savefile.com, orbitfiles.com, or rapidshare.de.

If you want to see what the UI looks like, see this older lj entry for a screenshot: FFXI UI 0.10 (September 23, 2006)

October 23 update: There appears to be some demand for copies of the original UI dats. I've zipped up SE's versions of those dats from October 18th for the NA client and posted them on filefront.com.

That's a similar question to this: http://brandson.livejournal.com/18406.html?thread=156390#t156390.

Only you'd want to save the moji dds from the original ROM\119\51.DAT and insert it into my version of the same file.

Seigan/Third Eye icon

I'd recommend using Faranim's Third Eye icon for Seigan (since Seigan just uses the generic Defense Up icon) and leaving the new stock Third Eye icon as is. One less new icon that'll need to be created.

This is a necessary update...

If you don't install this UI mod and instead use another one of your previous UIs, when you try to change your /tell chat filter to make a chime it crashes the game because it is unable to read the infomation it needs from the dats.

Other than that, still awesome work, nice to see you put the update out so fast!

Cheers,
Blabj

Just another user who doesn't like the chat log font

I love everything about this mod but the chat log font. Just wanted to voice that in case you are keeping track and decide to do a version without the chat log font being changed.

Re: Just another user who doesn't like the chat log font

There are many others who love the chat font. I asked Brandson how to extract the chat font, because that's really the only part of the UI I liked.

I suggest you follow his already-explained instructions on how to change the chat log font, if you don't like it.

Old hp/mp bars

I love your UI and the icons/text, but I really dislike the blue border on the hp bar. However, your old Ui without the blue bar isn't hosted anymore, otherwise I would edit it on my own, but I lost the file after today's update :(

So could we either get a rehost of the 'blueless' boxes, or a full pack with the old version integrated?

Would be much appreciated~

Re: Old hp/mp bars

Do you mean the the ends on the left and right side of the bars? Ya I'm not totally satisfied with those either. I'll work on that when I get some time.

Yeah, the edges on the left/right of your hp/mp.

Personally .07 is my favorite release of your UI, with the new chat log. I don't really like the edited bazaar/lfp icons, but I like the 'crispness' of the ui. A .07 package with the transparent macro palettes, the chat log edit, and the updated faranim icons would be <3

I know thats alot of work though and can't expect you to go out of your way for one person, so could we possibly just get a rehost of .07 and I will edit it myself ;P?

The Font

I seem to be having the opposite problem from most of the posts. I installed the mod, and the windows work fine, the menu's have the new font, everything has the new font except the chat log. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I put 119/51 in the folder and it just doesn't seem to want to work.

I just installed this but I noobed it up and forgot to make a backup or the original files. Ai there anyway for me to get them back?

Also is anyone experiencing this problem. Right after I installed this pack, every time I try to change my Chat Log Filters the game keeps crashing on me.

removing the UI?

I installed this UI but there are a few things I don't like about it (mainly the font and icons above characters and monsters. Ick.)and I wanted to know if I can remove it somehow without damaging my game.

Would uninstalling work?

Re: removing the UI?

Copy back the original dat files that you replaced with mine and it will be as if you never changed anything.

Merits?

Just thought I might mention that one of either the new status icons or the new font doesn't allow you to confirm merit additions. Is this a known issue?

Re: :/ a problem i have

If my mods are crashing your game, then the only thing I can suggest is to make sure you're using the latest version. If that doesn't work, then uninstall the mods.
