    You mean this?

    Or do you mean the actual non-modded NGE UI?

    Is that a mod or did they put the UI back?

    That is a mod, and TH will get very pissed on the forums if you discuss it.  The actual NGE UI is still the junky, ugly, clunky chrome thing that must have been designed by one of the producer's kids.

    It's a mod.

    Edit:  As a side note, Helios mentioned in the latest Galaxy Report interview that they would like to add support for UI mods like what is seen in other games.  Hopefully that happens sooner rather then later.

    EQ2 openly supports user UI mods.  To the point that they document UI changes in their patch notes so modders know what to fix.

    I've skinned EQ2 with a UI that is somewhat pre-NGE SWG like.

    Since SWG's client supports UI mods in that if it sees the folders and files in it it will override the defaults, it was clearly designed as well to support user UI mods.  If it weren't, you'd have to hack the client code to do it.

    He might mean being able to add in your own UI windows and such.  Like in WoW you can add in extra toolbars and stuff.  At the moment I think you can only adjust the appearance of what's already there.

    Tht was said at a fanfest 2 years ago. Still not holding my breath.

    And it need not have happened.  The purpose of the mods is to restore the Pre-NGE UI.  They could cut the number of people using UI mods by 95% if they'd just make that UI an alt skin, given how easily the modders have done it, they could easily do it.  They haven't made any serious effort to improve the UI.

    An official option would be nice so you could turn it on and not have to worry about updating it manually every publish.

    Well, case in point, I never thought of modding the UI until the NGE.  At the end, I had scores of mods installed, the Pre-CU version of the UI (with the white HAM backgrounds), lightsaber animations, Pre-CU melee weapon sounds, etc.  I had resizable radar months before they got off their lazy asses and reintroduced it.  One guy almost had the 2nd toolbar functional as well, but then quit once they announced it was coming back.

    This is just one of many examples of SMALL things they could have done in a short amount of time that would have had a nice impact.

    Yes, because we all know nothing builds communities around your game better than lashing out at your moding community.

     

    This team is just brilliant.

    I believe there was a mod for the pre-pub 9 Jedi animations before the NGE happened. 

    The animation mods do add some spice to melee combat, but they also look awkward at the same time due to the faster combat speed.  New animations designed for the new combat speed would be optimal and is meant to be happening with Chapter 4.  I'm doubting that though since they seem to be putting most of their focus on getting the expertise done over everything else.

    Well, that is essentially what they did to everyone with the NGE.  So far no one (except Tiggs) has been fired yet, so I guess from TH's perspective he's doing OK.

    I think this is very telling.  In fact, there was no modding going on before the CU.  There were no EMU servers.  There was no reason for these things under the original version of the game.  That just speaks volumes.

    Plenty of people were fired, including the CSR, TSR and sales people. Probably admins and others in maintainance as well.

    Actually the modding community was bigger before the CU/NGE.

    But most quit with the CU and NGE.

    The UI has always been customizable although not easily done.  Too bad the tools we're as readily availble during the time when it could have provided for a better SWG experiance.

    I used to enjoy the game.  The CU phase wasn't terrible in the game play sense although it did eliminate too many things which made the game interactive. 

    Actually, I'm glad the NGE came about.  Not only did it show the industry of incompetence of SOE and LA it showed the community there's more to life then grinding Jedi; grinding alpha class fictional cannon is bad.  The BEST thing I have took away from SWG due to the "New Game Enhancements" is it allowed me to find a game called EVE Online which is by far the most advanced and dynamic playing enivronment imaginable in an online game.  Thankfully Nancy MacIntre has nothing to do with EVE, which is obvious 'cs there's a lot of reading involved.

    EVE is not for everyone, nor was SWG, SWG-CU and SWG-NGE.
