Crypt UI for Age of Conan
Version 1.0 release date: August 1, 2008
Created and maintained by Cryptzilla | PVP - Tyranny
=================================================
Hello Age of Conan (AoC) subscribers. After several months of testing several different User Interfaces (UI), I have decided to compile a few addons I have enjoyed using and tweak the UI to make them fit all together. I wanted to enhance the UI not only for its look, but also to enhance game performance. Gathering ideas from the creativity of DemonOZ's UI, Vipers Group Window and various horizontal combo sequence addons, I have developed "Crypt UI!"
-------------------------------------------------
ACTION BAR TYPES
-------------------------------------------------
The Crypt UI has two different action bar options:
"3bar option"
- The first bar provides access to the Left-action bar (1-6) and the standard action bar (1-10)
- The second bar provides access to 1st Extended action bar (1-16)
- The third bar provides access to 2nd Extended action bar (1-16)
(See 3Bar Keybinding screen shot)
"2bar option"
- The first bar provides access to the Left-action bar (1-5) and the standard action bar (1-8)
- The second bar provides access to 1st Extended action bar (10-14) on the left and (1-9) on the right
- The bar on the left side of the UI provides access to 2nd Extended action bar (1-11)
(See 2Bar Keybinding screen shot)
Note: Crypt UI (3bar option) uses the same slots of both AoC default UI floating bars (1&2) up to slot 16, so if you intend on using the floating bars, use them accordingly.
Note: Crypt UI (2bar option) uses the same slots of the AoC default UI floating bars up to slot 14 on the 1st extended bar and up to slot 11 on the 2nd extended bar. If you intend on using the floating bars, use them accordingly.
-------------------------------------------------
GROUP & PET WINDOW
-------------------------------------------------
The group and pet window were compiled from Viper's Group Window addon.
-------------------------------------------------
PLAYER, TARGET AND TARGET'S TARGET
-------------------------------------------------
The player, target and target's target were compiled from DemonOZ's UI.
-------------------------------------------------
OTHER ENHANCEMENTS & FEATURES
-------------------------------------------------
- I have added a different background and overlay to all Solo/Group/Minion/Mini and Targeted Boss/Minions. (See Boss Overlays screen shot)
- All player buffs have been shifted to the top right corner of the user interface.
- The mini-map has been shifted to the bottom right corner of the user interface.
- Added a small circular glossy lag meter indicator that sits above the mini-map.
- Skinned the larger map from it's default border frames to fit better on the screen.
- Designed glossy arrow indicators for the Combo Sequence bar.
- Added a new flaming look to the casting bar.
- Added buff/debuff indicators above the default player and targeted window(s)
- Other minor tweaks behind the scenes.
-------------------------------------------------
FUTURE UPDATES
-------------------------------------------------
- I will do my best to keep the UI data current with all of the changes Funcom has been doing to their default UI and game mechanics - as see fit.
- I will always keep Crypt UI 'seamless' and avoid cluttering areas with unnecessary graphics/designs. (This will help with gaming performance.)
