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 this installer which you can use to install my edits.
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
Visibility Bar

Download
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.
Skill Points Progress Bar

Download
This adds a little collapsible bar in between the level/experience one and the credits one. Represented by a red star.
Vis Bar & Skill Point Bar
Download
Combination of the above two until UI customization improves.
Contacts Window Close Button
Download
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

Random trivia
- I, with Kangaroo_blob, suggested the Trolls for Halloween 2010 event.
- I spend more time on IRC and webchat than anyone should.
- I won the Christmas 2010 "What do you want from Astro-Santa" competition with my song.
- Suggested the idea of Lapland and saving Elves, lack of time didn't help in creation.
- I have over 4500 posts on the forums, probably too many.
- I pushed for an Easter Holiday event, which ended up in me doing the content myself. It was meant to go in on the patch on Sunday the 17th April. But delays and problems has held it back a few days. Testing was rushed, and there were quite a few issues! But non-the-less it was fun. And I think (hope) players kinda enjoyed it.
