Hey everyone, version 1.72 of the Mirage UI is now available for download, again this is mostly a version update and no new features were introduced, new features will be coming with version 1.8 soon (TM).


=================================================
MIRAGE UI FOR AGE OF CONAN
Version 1.72, July 31, 2008
Created and maintained by Eduardo "LedMirage" Lucero
=================================================

Thank you for downloading the Mirage UI for Age of Conan, this modification adds two static shortcut bars with 17 buttons each fixed above the main shortcut bar, a brand new larger group and pet window, enhances the display of buffs and debuffs and makes your friends and guild list easier to read. All of this without removing any functionality to the existing default user interface. Based on popular demand there are now five variations total: 4-Bars, 3-Bars, 2-Bars, 3-Bars-Small and 2-Bars-Small, the default variation is 3-Bars.

-------------------------------------------------
The Extra Bars
-------------------------------------------------
The two Mirage UI shortcut bars use the button slots and bindings originally used by the two default UI extra floating shortcutbars that the game supports. What this means is that you can bind every one of the new 34 buttons by going to OPTIONS > CONTROLS and assigning hotkey shortcuts to the following:

Mirage UI Shortcut Bar #1
(17 Buttons, the first row located above the default game shortcutbar)
The first 7 buttons correspond to "1st Extended Action Button" numbers 11 through 17
The last 10 buttons correspond to "1st Extended Action Button" numbers 1 through 10 and they line up perfectly with the default shortcut bar

Mirage UI Shortcut Bar #2
(17 Buttons, the second row located above the default game shortcutbar, only seen in 3 or 4-Bars variations)
The first 7 buttons correspond to "2nd Extended Action Button" numbers 11 through 17
The last 10 buttons correspond to "2nd Extended Action Button" numbers 1 through 10 and they line up perfectly with the default shortcut bar

Mirage UI Shortcut Bar Zero (Recommended for advanced users and players level 40 and higher)
(17 Buttons, the first row located below the default game shortcutbar, only seen in 4-Bars variation)
The first 3 buttons correspond to "1st Extended Action Button" numbers 18 through 20
The next 3 buttons correspond to "2nd Extended Action Button" numbers 18 through 20
The next button does not have a keybinding
The next 3 buttons (directly below 1,2,3) do not have a keybinding, but when you reach level 40 and obtain the extra attacks or spell weaving the buttons 11, 12 and 13 (Q, V and E by default) appear.
The next 7 buttons do no have a keybinding

The default UI extra floating shortcut bars use different button slots and can not have hotkey bindings anymore, however you can still use them, this gives you a total of 34 Mirage UI buttons and the 16 floating shortcut bar buttons for a total of 50 additional button slots! Please note that there is a minor display bug that shows keybindings over the floating shortcut bars, these keybindings are for the new Mirage UI buttons and do not affect functionality over the floating shortcut bar buttons.

-------------------------------------------------
The New Group and Pet Window
-------------------------------------------------
The group and pet window were completely redesigned using all new custom graphics and increasing the size of the party and pet health bars, it also allows for the icon display of negative effects on all party members. (Note: There is a bug in the game which tags most player stances as "hostile" debuffs)

-------------------------------------------------
The Modified Player and Target Unit Frames
-------------------------------------------------
Both the player and target unit frames now display icons for both positive and negative effects, also the 'Target of Target' frame has been moved above the target frame. In addition the Health, Stamina and Mana bar graphics have been replaced with all new custom graphics. Fonts have been tweaked all around to make them more readable.

-------------------------------------------------
The Improved Guild and Friends Window
-------------------------------------------------
The friend and guild member list now has a darker background, the color for guild members is now a much more visible green that matches the new guild chat color and the friend color is now bright teal. In addition a darker background for every other alternating rows has been added and the columns for Rank, Class and Region have been made wider. On the guild panel the "LEAVE" button has been removed to prevent accidental departure from your guild, the text command "/guild leave" still works as intended if you really need to leave your guild.

-------------------------------------------------
Other Miscellaenous Tweaks
-------------------------------------------------
The Combat Rose and interactive icons have been repositioned vertically as to not overlap the new shortcut bars. Also the Mini Pet Control Bar and the Sould Fragment tracker have been both repositioned to the center of the screen and right above the Mirage UI shortcut bars.

Have you tried it or had someone over 40 try it?

I'm interested in it, but the game UI change a bit after 40 and if it doesn't take this into consideration it might be broken.

Just wondering.

Even if it is broken at 40 it will be fixed very very very soon.

I may find out when I hit 40 or when one of the users that is 40 or over can give me feedback on it. Not entirely sure why you have to go to all the threads about this mod and say that "it may be broken" or "Too bad that after 40, your UI is going to broken", maybe some constructive feedback would help prevent it from perhaps or maybe breaking when I hit level 40.

[therupert79]

Thanks for all the hard word LED! This UI is awesome and I can't imagine playing AoC without it!

Please forgive my computer ignorance, but I can't seem to get the mod to work. I followed the instructions, and am pretty sure I installed it correctly, but I don't see anything when I log into the game. Is there something I need to do to enable the mod, or will the mod replace the default UI when I enter the game?


Thanks for all your work on the cool mod Led!

i got the smaller version to work, but in your screen shot, you have another add on that shows up in the middle between the two target bars. It's not showing up on mine
