Any problems with it let me know.
By Dodik 2024-05-13 08:28:05
Thanks for the update!
Any chance of a new version of the condensed 1 and/or 2 font mods?
Condensed 2 is the nicest nameplate font around.

Maybe I'm going crazy, but when I replace the Rom my stars don't change. Is there something else I need to do?

Yeah, will add condensed 1/2 as well as the other fonts back.
Made lots of extra stuff, like different equip boxes and animated pointers etc.

Did you restart the game? the stars on this one are similar to the original, I have lots of different ones but they are not in this zip yet.

I did - As I look at it now, I do notice its slightly different. Thanks! I was thinking it was going to be the crowns in the SS on the first page (that would be dope). Thank you again for putting this together.

Please forgive but i cant recall if this mod at one point had menu option where they were more squared off. The version i am trying to remember had a lot of customizing options with being able to change things in and out. Thanks for any assist. /kneel

Yeah I have all that stuff to add back, I just wanted to get a version out that fixed the crashing issues from todays patch.
I'll update the zip with all the different graphics from the older version in the next few days, the square inv boxes, diff job point stars, different pointers, different fonts and etc.

Is 119/51.dat the only one that won't work with xipivot?

Also logos, 50.dat.
By RadialArcana 2024-05-14 10:03:22
Updated the zip with Normal width, Condensed 1, Condensed 2.
The only file that is different is 119/51.dat. It changes the width of the nameplate font and icons on the nameplate.
If using Nameplate plugin by Velyn, use normal width.
Moved the region map mod to a separate folder in the zip.
Normal width.
Condensed 1.
Condensed 2
photobombed random people
Lots of extra job stars, macros, pointers, inventory boxes and fonts in the modification folder. There are 2 vanilla fonts with different battle numbers. "League of legends" font deforms a bit on condensed.
If putting job stars into the condensed dat, use the images from the second folder as they are smaller.

Hmmmm for the update am i supposed to just put in the dat for the UI in the 119 folder? it works but I dont get any of the nice looking things from NextGames 2023/updates packs X_X, sorry im super noob at this stuff
By zeta 2024-05-14 21:03:10
RadialArcana, I was just wondering would it be possible to get menu buttons that are less rounded and more grey/dark? I tried to pull them from another file but it didnt work. Not sure how I would export an element from one dat and use with another. Thanks for any insight.
By Asmgirl 2024-05-14 21:39:46
Condensed 2 is the nicest nameplate font around.Looking forward to its update, thanks!I saw a picture and the font on this is so beautiful.But I can't upload images in AH.

goto the mod original width folder from the mod zip showing rom, then goto the square enix folder of the XI install folder as shown above and copy the folder over. It's 9 files.

You mean these buttons? where are you trying to take the image from, normal xiview?

Updated the zip on the first post, did you get it? or did you mean the Japanese version?

They probably mean something like this:
To answer Zeta's question, if you have the 51.DAT you wanted to take this style from, you can just open it with Texhammer, and export the "menu buttonto", convert it to a dxt1 .dds file, then use Texhammer to open Radial's Xiview and import it over that one.
It's quite easy to import into Radial's Xiview with texhammer.

Do you know what DAT affects the spacing of the spells and abilities? I'm trying to revert it back to the default more condensed version.

That's something I would like to know too.
I know it's 51.DAT that does it, but I systematically replaced each image in that dat with non modded ones hoping to narrow it down, but none of them changed it, so i can only assume it was done hex editing the actual 51.DAT container itself.
By RadialArcana 2024-05-15 08:43:07
What's the problem with the increased menu sizes, is it the icons or the spacing itself? I can make an alt version but I'm confused what the problem with them is.

In my case, I'm not using the icons you created for the magic and ability menu's, I'm using my own, and the vertical spacing of the text just feels really off when using them, the original condensed listing would work better with it.

By Dodik 2024-05-15 09:14:55
Same, would like a version with just the UI changes but without changed job/magic ability and spell lists.
By RadialArcana 2024-05-15 09:19:57
I'll make an alt version tomorrow, put the 280/15.dat and 324/95.dat back to original though (these are the icon images and they are larger, and it will look mashed if I remove the text spacing)

happen to have a pic? I am using the older icon version that has been around for years and even with the extra padding to the menus they look really nice.. to me at least.

To change parts of the 51.dat in the "x modify with drag and drop elements" folder.
Quote: Click Texhammer made by Korith, to start program.
After installing the mod, make sure you're logged out of FFXI.
Drag 51.dat into copy into texhammer, lots of images show up.
To change the pointer arrow from modded to original, goto images/pointers and drag "anc anc" file into "anc anc" box
To change the font used for nameplate, font font (main font):
vanilla is the normal XI font, different battle numbers adds different numbers that show up when you hit something. Treb is the font used in previous verisons of XIview and LoL is league of legends type font)
To change the mission/npcdialogue pointer drag "anc btwait" into "anc btwait" box.
(Original is the original versions of these images)
To change the color of macro keys from blue to grey:
Drag either of the 2 files in macro keys folder to the "menu gauge" box
To change the box type for all gear and the equip screen drag and drop the modded or orig file to the "itemslot" box.
To change Job Point stars, job point stars (condensed if using that 51.dat) drag and drop into the "menu ustashd" box near the bottom.
Press save at the top right and make sure to save it as 51.dat and not 51_HD.dat.

THESE FILES MAY NEED TO BE UPDATED AFTER A PATCH IF THE DEVELOPERS UPDATE THE UI. 90% of patches they will be fine, but sometimes these files need to be updated and I'll post a new version if this is the case here. Check date at the top.
