After recent times of pure boredom occasionally, I have some User Interface modifications, currently working on one themed one for end of next month.
 
  
−
===Normal Custom UI===
+
=A bit about me=
−
This is my first released UI, and came with many user friendly changes, such as changes to the Safety Lock image.<br>
+
I'm Jeff Bobbo! And also Blue Dwarf! I've been a content dev since May 2011 time, having been offered to join by Jeff after volunteering to make the first [[Easter_2011|Easter event]] of Star Sonata. To sum up what I think of being a content dev, I just love it. XD

http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv131/Jeff_Bobbo/UI%20screenies/SafetyLock.png<br>
+
 
 +
I also do UI tweaks/edits/addons as a sort of side project. These can be found [http://www.starsonata.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=49445 here]. My older UIs for client 1 can be found just a little way down the page.
 +
 
 +
I also recently (well, not that recently, just haven't used it) made a [https://twitter.com/#!/JeffBobbo Twitter] account. Which I will be using to post updates of contenty stuff I do; so you can follow me if you wish (please do, I feel lonely on there). You can also follow me using an RSS reader if you don't want to make a twitter account using this link: <nowiki>https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/415577016.rss</nowiki>
 +

<!--Some say I am stupid, some say I am lazy, a few say I am awesome. I say I am all of these, mainly because I am. I spend very little time in-game and if I am in-game, like hell I am actually doing anything. I hang around a lot on IRC. My main is [[Gunner_Class|Gunner]] and I love Gunner, cause it's win. Currently residing in an Earthforce Dreadnought waiting for the ability to obtain a [[Red Photon Warship]], and chewing over various ideas for Heavy Fighter setups. I also make GUI's, one for each holiday event and any I feel are a good idea. If you're lucky, I may take a request on one but it'll cost. I have great knowledge over the game, it's mechanics and some of it's lore, despite only starting playing at the back end of 2008. I have been on various teams over my time, SoftShock, Red Faction, [[Psionic Corps]], [[Quantum_Reach_(team)|Quantum Reach]], [[JAWSS]] and [[The Forgotten Colonies]].-->

==Client 2 UI edits==
 +
With the release of the new client, UI customization has taken a major step forwards in possibilities and sheer awesomeness. Because of this I won't be making UIs as such, but rather little edits players can install to change their client. However I plan to create a UI to resemble the old clients GUI and be compatible with old GUIs.
 +
 
 +
I have made an [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14141289/Star%20Sonata/C2_UI/JeffML%20-%20UI%20Augmentation%20Installer.exe installer] which you can use to install my edits.
 +
 
 +
To install, just download the executable and run it, set the install path to your Star Sonata 2 installation (if not pointed there already), and then select what you want to install. The installer will copy the files to your hard drive for you and you just need to click finish. Once that's done you can restart Star Sonata 2 and you're done. If you want to change a part of your installation, just run the installer again and you can select different components to install, this will remove any currently customizations of mine you have. To uninstall just run the installer again and select uninstall, this won't delete the executable itself, you'll have to do that manually. Version 0.4.0 will also remove the old uninstall files on use as they are no longer required.
 +
 
 +
<hr/>
 +
 
 +
Otherwise, my edits for client 2 can be downloaded as .zip to .\Star Sonata 2\Content and then extracting it there. Select "Yes to all" for the overwriting files. I won't keep adding new zips for new additions however.

I changed the minimap/radar so that there are two rings, representing 500 and 1000 distance<br>

This returns the visibility bar as it was in client 1, showing a numeric value for your visibility always.
 +
This also expands the top bar, slightly enlarges the target window, shifts the hotkey and progress bars to the left and pulls the autopilot text up below the progress bars.

A bit about me

I'm Jeff Bobbo! And also Blue Dwarf! I've been a content dev since May 2011 time, having been offered to join by Jeff after volunteering to make the first Easter event of Star Sonata. To sum up what I think of being a content dev, I just love it. XD

I also do UI tweaks/edits/addons as a sort of side project. These can be found here. My older UIs for client 1 can be found just a little way down the page.

I also recently (well, not that recently, just haven't used it) made a Twitter account. Which I will be using to post updates of contenty stuff I do; so you can follow me if you wish (please do, I feel lonely on there). You can also follow me using an RSS reader if you don't want to make a twitter account using this link: https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/415577016.rss


Graphical User Interfaces

Client 2 UI edits

With the release of the new client, UI customization has taken a major step forwards in possibilities and sheer awesomeness. Because of this I won't be making UIs as such, but rather little edits players can install to change their client. However I plan to create a UI to resemble the old clients GUI and be compatible with old GUIs.

I have made an installer which you can use to install my edits.

To install, just download the executable and run it, set the install path to your Star Sonata 2 installation (if not pointed there already), and then select what you want to install. The installer will copy the files to your hard drive for you and you just need to click finish. Once that's done you can restart Star Sonata 2 and you're done. If you want to change a part of your installation, just run the installer again and you can select different components to install, this will remove any currently customizations of mine you have. To uninstall just run the installer again and select uninstall, this won't delete the executable itself, you'll have to do that manually. Version 0.4.0 will also remove the old uninstall files on use as they are no longer required.

Otherwise, my edits for client 2 can be downloaded as .zip to .\Star Sonata 2\Content and then extracting it there. Select "Yes to all" for the overwriting files. I won't keep adding new zips for new additions however.

This will replace your root.xml, so if you are using other edits, compare the files to add them independently.
The visibility bar will also replace images.xml in .\Content\game_data

This returns the visibility bar as it was in client 1, showing a numeric value for your visibility always. This also expands the top bar, slightly enlarges the target window, shifts the hotkey and progress bars to the left and pulls the autopilot text up below the progress bars.

This little edit will pull the Squad/Team/Friends window down in the Social window and push the buttons to the top, adds a small close button in the top right corner and re-orders to tabs to Team|Squad|Friends.

Warning: The root.xml for this will overwrite other mods of mine so you'll have to manually merge it if you want any other mods/edits.

Client 1 GUIs

As Client 2 has been released, these are now rather useless. However I will keep these up for reference/feature use...

All of my GUI's are in .zip format (compressed), all need to be extracted, and their contents pasted into the .\img directory of your Star Sonata installation, with the exception of the Normal GUI
