[die]

any one else do you all think this will be fixed

[ArkoHighStar]

its not produced by Turbine so they will have to wait until Turbine releases updates to its UI files so that skins work again.

major UI update = skins broken

give it sometime for them(not turbine) to update the skins.

These all apply to any UI Skin (user or author):

Do like this - open your C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Dungeons and Dragons Online\ui\skins\BlackBird folder.
There take a copy of SkinDefinition.xml if you mess up the original.

Now edit SkinDefinition.xml in Notepad (right-click, Edit)

Now put in rem (<!-- and --> ) tags around these lines, like in the example below:

<!--
  <Mapping ArtAssetID="healthbar_brass_background" FileName="healthbar/healthbar_2bar_background.tga"/>
  <Mapping ArtAssetID="healthbar_brass_foreground" FileName="healthbar/healthbar_2bar_foreground.tga"/>
  <Mapping ArtAssetID="healthbar_3Bar_brass_background" FileName="healthbar/healthbar_3bar_background.tga"/>
  <Mapping ArtAssetID="healthbar_3Bar_brass_foreground" FileName="healthbar/healthbar_3bar_foreground.tga"/>
   
  <Mapping ArtAssetID="healthbar_glass_overlay_health" FileName="healthbar/healthbar_glass_overlay_health.tga"/>
  <Mapping ArtAssetID="healthbar_glass_overlay_mana" FileName="healthbar/healthbar_glass_overlay_mana.tga"/>
  <Mapping ArtAssetID="healthbar_fellowship_background" FileName="healthbar/healthbar_fellowship_background.tga"/> 
  <Mapping ArtAssetID="healthbar_fellowship_foreground" FileName="healthbar/healthbar_fellowship_foreground.tga"/>
  <Mapping ArtAssetID="healthbar_fellowship_singleMeter_foreground" FileName="healthbar/healthbar_fellowship_singleMeter_foreground.tga"/>
-->

Then it should use the default graphics.

Great jury-rig steps Razcar.

To the author: All but the non-Portrait version of the player Vitals Bar is skinnable. You can start from the new files in Info Blue 1.7. List of the concerned files.

So, you can disable the healthbar parts of the skin for now, or use my notes to update the skin itself (except that the new non-Portrait version of the Vitals Bar isn't skinnable yet).

I use Blackbird, and I noticed the same thing, but when I went into UI settings and turned off the portrait of myself on the HP/SP bar it works fine. This is located under UI settings, and is just above the fist set of coloured bars. Hope this works for you as it did me.

All the custom UIs are borked to a degree. Turbine will release an art pack sometime soon:

I use the Blackbird skin as well on many of my characters. I notice that if you uncheck the option to "Show Portrait on Vitals Bar" the individual vitals UI seems to fit nicely with the Blackbird skin, and remove the messed-up look of it.

We are hoping to release an update to the UI Art Pack soon, but we don't have a current ETA on when we will be able to fit that work in.
