Hobben's UI
Last Updated 02/12/2004

This is my personal UI that I have made over the last few months. Some parts I blatently ripped off from other modders, then customized to my liking. However most of it I have written myself, to suit my needs.

To use this UI, navigate to your drive:/everquest/uifiles directory.
Make a new directory in this folder.
Unzip my UI files into the new directory. For this example I assume you named the directory Hobben.
Go in game and type "/loadskin Hobben 1"

YOU MUST DO A CLEAN INSTALL IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION OF MY UI
Melee Version
Caster Version
Caster Version is mostly the same as the melee UI, but with mana.


Optional Target box with Target of Target indicator built in

For Melee
For Casters


If you want the UI to look exactly like the screenshots you need to take the following steps.

1. Download and install the melee or caster UI.
2. Set your in game resolution to 1280x1024.
3. Download THIS file.
4. Unzip the three XML files into your custom directory.
5. Rename UI_name_server.ini to your name and server and copy it to your EQ directory.
For example mine is UI_Hobben_mithanie.ini.
If you are unsure, check your everquest directory for reference.
6. Load up EQ and load my UI.

A few notes.
- Will only line up correctly if using optional target box
- You will not be able to reposition chat or buff boxes. If you must make a change, i reccomend using /loadsk default 1, making the change, then reloading my UI.
- I use the top left box to hold things i do not want to see. Things like my misses, others misses etc.
- The top right box i use for various chat channels.
- If you have no use for these 2 boxes, simply right click on them and select close.
