Title: Mods
Post by: Soln on July 21, 2006, 09:03:23 AM
I just finished a WoW mod for playerep (http://www.playerep.com) (will post sometime) and I'm wondering if there's any use to make something for EQ2.  Does anyone know of any mods other than EQ2Map?  Are they useful (other than EQ2Map)?  Do people like using viewers alone in EQ2Map?  Just trying to get a sense of what's going on.  Thx.

EQ2maps is the only one I've ever used or heard of. The EQ2 interface was very flexible and full featured to start and I think that's cut down on the interest.

True that. Despite the flaws at launch, even then I applauded the interface. Hell, I even liked the SW:G interface. But with the adjustable widescreen bars, the EQII interface was simply masterful.

(In other words, good luck making a mod for EQII - do you really need more than WoW though? Heh.)

yeah I'll check into maybe after the AGC.  Kind of burnt out right now.  The WoW mod and patcher will probably be up tonight.  I think with EQ2 I'll at least include it in the patcher options and write an xmltmpl that people can see all scores for members on that shard from in the game (if I can figure out how to call it).  Bleh. 

thank ye

There's some nice UI mods out there, but due to the limitations of EQ2s UI (in terms of user customisation), nothing like we have with WoW, unfortunately. Most people who customise their UI seem to be using set like Profit and Fetish, which both kinda suck in my opinion. What would be good to see is a graphical revamp of the UI, since SOE is in to it's whole bulkly, needless waste of space thing at the moment.

Still, you can do a lot with layout. Here's my current setup:

It's good to see that higher-level gear still looks like ass, I guess.

And that people apparently still need to be told via macro not to break mez.  :roll:

Higher level? Not really  :-D

Macro spam in PUGs is just the way it is, my guildies are all too high for this lowbie Ranger right now.
