UI Mod tools

[gredoo]

Are there any resources or tools for editing/making UI's? Or just like some decent documentation on all the XML options?

It's a pain in the ass making a change then testing it and repeating. Figure there has got to be a tool to make this a bit easier.

None that I've ever come across, I've always just used Notepad++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/) and tons of examples from eqinterface.com (https://www.eqinterface.com/)
Just be sure to search by date and look at UIs titanium timeline and lower.

I know what you mean about reloading to see changes. And after so many reloads it crashes the client.

SidlWidl (http://www.eqinterface.com/forums/showpost.php?p=51613&postcount=4) is really the only option. It is really buggy, but it allows you to move specific items around in specific windows and see the results without being in game. A lot of it doesn't work right and the project was abandoned 15+ years ago without ever being completed.

As Baler mentioned, Notepad++ and a hotkey to reload in game are what will benefit you the most though. I've never had a problem with crashing after reloading to much like a lot of people have, it may depend on the Titanium install you have or something like that.

In your Default UI folder there is a .doc file called "AboutSIDL" from the EQLive devs that gives a short run down on the XML that works with Titanium. The best way to learn is reverse engineering other UI's.
