Bad News
I've got some bad news: I've quit playing Daoc and now my accounts are closed. That means I won't be maintaining GhostUI any longer as there is not even a possible way for me to test it. Because of this, I am putting up the Ghost UI Developer package for download. This package contains the original Photoshop PSDs and the MakeGhostConfigure program for maintaining the Ghost UI Options list. Only those experienced with modifying UIs should download this package. It contains the latest (not working) Ghost UI G-12 files. You can get it here. [MD5: 4305db5eca047d41a078ececa44c1ab4].
What is this?
Ghost UI is a custom User Interface for Mythic's Dark Age of Camelot MMO Game. The intent while designing the UI was to make the UI as non-intrusive as possible. Lots of the UI elements that are always on the screen are transparent and have elements that don't distract you from what is occuring in the game. The interface also aims to increase usability while playing by providing larger fonts and reorgizing certain elements to make a little more sense in use. Ghost UI is different and may take a little bit of time to get used to. But many people find that once they start using it it is hard to switch back to older interfaces.
Other Areas
Latest Thread on VN User Interface board Forum thread on vnboards.ign.com for Daoc User Interfaces. I'll try to keep this link updated so there is always a place to discuss the UI.
Valmerwolf's UI Page Valmerwolf's great work on in-game minimaps for Daoc. Great addition to any UI. Look for minimaps near the bottom.
Patches
Euro Font PATCH
(Mirror) With this patch, Ghostui will be usable in Euro versions of DAOC. Thanks to Moh on this contribution, the file is currently hosted on his website and might be updated in the future. I will store a copy of the file here as a mirror. To install, extract the TGA files to your \Mythic\ui\custom folder.
Hopefully this will at least get some people in game with the UI, but there are still a lot of unresolved issues. If you want old icons start with the older version G_9 release and then patch with this file.
Changes
Friends WindowChange
Went back to a stock friends window to address crashing issues.
Healer Helper WindowsChange
Updated the Healer Helper windows to have a fixed-centered power number to address centering issues.
Master WindowChange
Went back to a stock master window to address crashing issues.
Version G lives again... This is probably the last string of the 'G' version series. This version is actually a combination of the old G files and some new version H files (mainly textures). I decided to make this quickly in order to provide a working UI before the 1.89b UI patch. That is because the old G versions will crash the game once the new UI patch hits. So yes, I am aware that some windows don't look quite right and that some things are a little different compared to previous versions. There were also a lot of things that were deprecated because they either no longer worked, or are no longer applicable.
Changes
Chat True Type Font OptionAddition
For the new chat window you may now select the new game True-Type font as well as the old (bitmap) fonts. ONLY the true type fonts may be resized in-game; all old fonts will not resize in-game.
Chat WindowDeletion
Replaced the chat window with a new single chat window compatible with the new font and chat window system. (You have no choice but to use this one now).
Manager ButtonInformation
Some users have reported that the manager button disappears. If this issue still occurs with this release, clicking where the manager button used to be or on your toon's name/class in the attributes window should open the manager window.
Old IconsInformation
EA-Mythic announced that they will no longer support the old style icons but have distributed a file set containing some of the old icons. This means a couple things: I will distribute the old icons as an option with most UI releases as long as they still work, at some near point in the future, the icons may not have an 'old' version, and last of all if the old icons do not have an icon for a certain ability, they may incorrectly show the wrong icon for that ability. So expect issues to arise with the old icons, if you move to the new icon set, you should be safe (or extremely frustrated).
Round CompassDeletion
The large texture and compass control was not working in the time I had to work on this. I've removed the option. It may come back in a later release if I can get it to work again.
Some fixes and new things. Changes to the distribution files: ghostui_G_8_189.zip only contains the basic UI files as I've released things in the past (no maps, no icons), ghostui_G_8_189full.zip comes with maps. If you want the old icons you have to download the oldicons.zip file as well as one of the UI zips. If you already had the old icons installed, you only need the updated UI files (ghostui_G_8_189.zip).
Added the figure clip plane option to the options window.
Large Realm Point ChartDeletion
Deleted the old large realm point chart and texture (sorry). This should free up a bit of graphics memory.
Mini ResistsAddition
Two new mini-resists windows. Similar to mini-stats except shows resists. You can open the window by either clicking your resists in your stats window or clicking the mini-reisists button in the window manager.
Summary WindowAddition
Two new summary windows: large with new style power and endurance bars and a smaller version.
There is no UI patch from 1.88 to 1.89 because one of the core files was changed (it's easier if I make you download the entire thing than to explain how the patch would work.)
Old Icons
Download the file ghostui_G_7_189_oldicons.zip if you want to force old icons. This file includes all old icons EXCEPT rez sickness, the question mark icon, macro icon, and all weapons/armor/item icons.
Updates for 1.89Update
Make work 1.89? Option window has the facial and snapback controls now. Button changes (no new features, just Mythic being stupid).
This is the latest snapshot of the GhostUI "I use." This is LOTM ready and all that junk. Only patch necessary should be the Euro Font if you're a Euro player.
