I spent some time (while trying to log in Lamorak) to port my old tweaks to the interface, enable the last additions like the tooltips, the social window, the maps and blatantly steal some features from more popular mods.
It seems that Mythic is maintaining just the “atlantis” skin that is too yellowish and kludgy for my likings. So what I did was just to port the look & feel of the classic “midgard” interface and tweak it some more for usability. The purpose was to show some more informations but still being conservative on the space and maintain a “minimal” approach.
So you can give it a try if you are going back to DAoC to try the new servers (I removed the “Master Level” window for example) and need an usable interface, with a neuter color and a slightly better layout than the standard one without becoming incredibly messy like the popular “Derida” (the “Cosmos” of DAoC).
Instructions:
– Unpack the zip in the ui/custom/ directory where you installed the game.
– Select the “custom” interface in the options before logging in with the character
– Type /clock so that the window with the bundled clock+compass+perf monitor shows up
– Make sure that both the compass and performance monitor work by pressing a few times ALT+P (for perf monitor) and ALT+C (for the compass)
NOTE: It is supposed to work with the small fonts, so suitable for 1024×768.
