TaranUI is a interface modification for the game Age of Conan. Some changes are the result of a total rewrite of the code by
myself while others are the result of talented moddeurs, hence the term "compilation".

COMPILATION & CREDITS
-----------
Among the other authors addons included, we have:
- MirageUI by LedMirage: Great base GUI mod. After huge codes modifications, the only things i have kept is the colors changes made to chat panel and guild/friends panel.
- SmallTabs by Mwbidwel: Decreases the size of the Inventory, Character, Ability, Feats, and Quest Icons at the top of your screen. I just decentralized and relinked images
to "CustomUI/Taran/" folder for an easy install and uninstall.
- Viper's Group Window by Rorasho: Just a different look to the group window. It functions like the standard one does, but just look different (easier read-out).

Warning, I will not update the TaranUI to every patch just for a change of the "revision number," there are programmes like AoC Custom UI Patcher who's doing that very well!
Updates will be present but only in the case of an improvement or an update of the compilation itself!
