Thios is by far the best one I have seen. Laurelle and I installed it last night. Very easy to install and has some awesome features. she loves the Healers Helper. She can click on someones's name and she it will face her in thier direction and track them as they move. The drop down maps look fantastic. Very detailed. I highly recommend this skinn. I give it . . . :thumbs: :thumbs:

I dont know how to bring this skin up. I downloaded the vbrushed's and the maps. I created a 'Custom' folder and placed them in there which is in my Mythic folder. I also downloaded winrar and placed that file in program files. What should/shouldn't I have done? :WTF:

I installed winrar into program files and my new custom folder is in the Mythic folder with vbrushed1682, albion maps, frontier maps and ToA maps extracted in it. Still nothing. :WTF: Does the custom folder that I created have to be anywhere specific?

My computers reachtion to this skin:

A problem was discovered and the computer will be shut down to avoid further problems :huh:

I guess I will stick to my old skin then :unsure:

To scare noone of: This is not really a problem caused by this skin, my computer does that just every once in a while when I play daoc - just funny that it happened after over 1 week again exactly that moment I wanted to try this skin.

The computer rebooted on his own and yes I was in game. Guess the ToA engine chose me as victim again today :(

As I edited in the above post, it was probably not the skins fault but my crappy computer :WTF:

ooook that's what was wrong. Not in the UI folder.

I really like it alot! Having all the maps right in your skin is way cool. The RR table and all the options quick at hand :cool: The fact that next to the rl date and time it diplays game time. Much better than /time and trying to translate millitary time to see when an encounter is up :cool: Havent had a chance to try the healers helper but that looks neat also.

The only thing is that the chat window doesnt shrink down as small as the default skins and the window covers my toon. That kind of bugs me but I just need to get used to it :bandhead: The xp bubble things are a bit small too. When saying you have 5.4 till ding, I need to look really close and squint to see if it's really .4 or not.

Looks like a keeper though :cool:

I think it should be up by default. It might be under another window. when I first tried it I had several windows stacked on top of each other. Just hold down the shift key and drag them around.

Still no luck. Moved every window around still did not see bar showing targetted con level.

you mean to decrease the size of chat by increasing the size of the top window where you see damages? If so its done just the same as before. there is just no line seperating the 2 boxes. just grab the invisible seperation between the 2 boxes and adjust as you did before.

The overall size can be adjusted by grabbing the (X) on the top right corner and adjusting.

SHift+P turns on the target window if it is not on.

Woot got it all working on both toons and like it a lot.
:thumbs:

The chat window can be resized. I had to keep clicking a bit around the x in the top right corner of the chat box and finally got it to show me some arrows.

:thumbs: :thumbs:

For me and SeriouslyStoned Shift+X worked to bring the window up. Not sure why it was different for us.

I tried changing my resolution and the large chat window wasn't as invading but the rest of the windows were a bit hard to read. The small text might not be a problem for your eyes.
