Stone UI - Classic interface remade in FullHD for P99

[Darternicus]

Firstly I just want to say that this UI was what I have been waiting for since I started playing P99! I have tried other classic UI's but there has always been an issue with something that made UI not work right or look off compared to the original Everquest. But this UI looks near perfect! Thank you for this so very much Sakam!

>>> I just downloaded/installed the UI, but when I load it in game most of the windows have a black background instead of the greyish marble from the original. Can someone please help me figure out how to fix this? <<<

Right click the affected window(s), and under Window > Background change the "Texture" option.

Thank you so much Mcoy! I was afraid That did the trick. I couldn't figure it out without someone from this forum helping me. And I didnt think someone would check the forum for a long time. I have a few more questions/problems though and that is the spells button and spellbook icon are very dark, like an 80% black overlay on them. I cannot right click them to change the texture.

Below is a picture of the issue. What can I do to fix this?

1. Also the buttons for Help, Options, Persona, View, Abilities, Combat, Socials do not work. Is there a way to fix this?
2. And I was wondering if the pet window can show the pets health bar. Currently it does not. If that is the way classic EQ was set up then I will be fine with that.
3. Is there a way to change the font size of the mobs health when the mouse cursor is on the healthbar of the current target? It is very very small at the moment.

The staff should totally make this UI an option for Green 2.0!

Nice work OP.

I have an issue where my buffs are right along the right edge of my screen meaning they fall behind/beneath the stone ui elements. This is using the 16:9 version. Anyone have any fixes for this?

Even if the window itself is transparent, you should be able to unlock it (right clicking on it) and move it around. It's a tall rectangle the size of 2 buffs wide by 8 buffs tall, so the handle to move it should be the top left corner.

Another way is to change the coordinates in your UI_player_Project1999.ini directly.

Ah that's great thank you so much!

Any chance for a future higher resolution version? It scales very well w/ wider monitors but going to a greater height than 1080 leaves a gap on top or bottom.

I thought about but I just don't have a higher res monitor so it's probably not happening from me. But the source files are up there for download if anybody wants to give it a go

Sakam, Stone UI is wonderful. Thank you for taking the time to share this with everyone! What I love is it's upscaled for modern monitors + gives the game it's old school CRPG aesthetic with large, clear UI elements. I know many players prefer minimalist UI for wide field of view, maximum visibility, optimal play, etc. But there's something special about loading up Stone UI, going first person, and just chilling. Taking it slow. Taking in the game.

I'm using the 16:9 version. I like it so much that I use it on my 3840x1600 monitor, even though it's fuzzy downscaled to 1920x1080. For anyone who might one day be extending this to other resolutions, +1 vote for a 3840x1600 (24:10). Another decently popular ultra-wide resolution is 2560x1600 (16:10). And 2048x1536 (4:3) would be neat too as it allows crisp 'integer scaling' rendering option from game's native 1024x768.

For anyone who wants upscaled without old school UI, check out Upscaled Velious by Shawk.
