There are alot more files, 1200 in total. Hope that helps some and gives an you an idea on the file structure.

Your best bet is to just change the graphic color to bright green and load the game and see where it shows up at.

Note: The astricks indicate multiple file names for pieces.

You can download my skin from here.

Also make sure you go to the visit the tutorial section at lotrointerface.com
Yes I know it is a lotro tutorial but the concept is pretty much them same. they just have diffrent file names.

I'll post some of the codes I've figured out too. Thanks for those.

And now for a little preview of a dark wizard UI I'm working on:


If you set the dice to default color (opal) you get skulls instead of dice. Shiny metal skulls!

For some reason, my map frequently gets bugged out and completely unusable when using custom UI's.

Nice work! The dice are a nice touch as is the focus orb.

Are you using photoshop?

[Ghoste]

Yes, Photoshop.

[Ghoste]

Here is a list of what I have found in addition to what was listed in the op:

dice_d10_opal -> 2 10 sided dice
dice_lg_opal -> 1 20 sided die
DeathIcon -> skull pic that appears on death release confirmation box
Focus_Orb_06 -> main focus orb
Focus_Orb_small_cropped -> minimized focus orb
xp_action_point* -> the little gem things that show how many ranks you have at the bottomright of your screen
xp_bar* -> the parts of the xp bar at the bottom of the screen
radar_circle_brass_forground_2 -> mini map
hud_menu_bkg -> the background for the menu buttons
full_bar* -> the main shortcut bar (ie.not dettached)
gui_button_characterpanel* -> button at top of screen for character sheet. Buttons for other windows have similar naming
adventure_compendium* -> the one button from the top menu that doesn't begin with gui_button
healthbar_background/foreground -> the graphics surrounding the healthbar

This is great information guys. Would you mind adding it to the tutorial section of our forums?

No problem will do. I know there are some europeans on the lotrointerface site that don't have access to the U.S. DDO forums.

Known issues:

Exiting the game and then logging back on while a custom skin is active often leads to the map not functioning at all.

detach_horizontal_bar.tga / *highlight.tga, / *locked.tga >>> Horizontal hot bar
detatch_vertical_bar.tga / *highlight.tga, / *locked.tga >>> Vertical hot bar

There is also the full_bar_*.tga files for the inital bar and the focus*.tga for the focus orb.

Ghoste, am I seeing things or do you have a slightly different image for each AP gem? I thought it was just one image that repeated

The gems are all the same image, but the right end of the xp bar has been altered to make it look that way.
