Updates From version 1.31, Charlie's UI will try to check for updates, when playing on-line. It does this by comparing its version number against the version number in server scripts. This will give the user a message if the on-line server has a newer version installed.

Ok, I get it they are in Zehir. If I copy them to override, textures are no more missing. Will this button cause trouble in OC?

Where the heck do I get trade_button.tga and co.? In game I get a "missing texture".

Anyone having trouble saving the AI options on the NPC character sheets? I am unable to save any options to instruct my NPCs -- tried the save button, load button and even reset. However, each time I close the character sheet, the the options "deselect" so that no options are selected. I would appreciate help as the UI mod looks awesome! Thanks.

Dangit. I noticed the text didn't show up ... hm .. Atleast someone posted it above me. You just have to change the to the "less than" sign and the to the "greater than" sign. Make sure you don't drop any of the forward ( / ) slashes. Also you might need to add " " around up, down, focused, hilted, hifocus, and disabled. _________________________ "Save Early, Save Often"

There's a fix for the cargo cart thing. It's a little complicated, so if you don't understand editing an xml file do not attempt! Go to your Override folder and locate the "inventoryscreen.xml" file and edit it with notepad. Use ctrl+F (search/find) to find SLOT_RING_2 block in the xml. Beneath that block hit enter and add the following: Also, some of the rare materials names are missing. The fix is to open fontfamily.xml and scroll down. Near the bottom you'll see a block for "Special_Font". Change the 20 to a smaller number in the FontBoldItalic line. I suggest 12 or 14. -- Anyway! Voted 9.5. I've been using this mod for forever : ) The only complaint I'd have is the fonts are a little small. You can edit the font xml, but that leads to sizing problems so it doesn't really work out :p _________________________ "Save Early, Save Often"

1. Resource "Cargo cart" not showing up in SoZ, and not clickable either so I cannot check my cargo. 2. Some of the fonts are just too small, makes them harder to read, also makes some fonts deformed. A lot of improvements are awesome, very well thought out. But a few are detrimental. _________________________ I do not have a superman complex; for I am God, not Superman!

installed: charlie UI 1.43b and TonyK compaion 2.2, and the files to make them worked together into a clean install. I noticed that the option "knockdown (global)" that the options "on, off, off". the middle off says "sometimes" and the bottom off says never. I think that the middle off was supposed to be sometimes. _________________________ I do not have a superman complex; for I am God, not Superman!

I love this. It improves playability like no other UI mod I have seen. I have one question though: How can I get the enlarged multi player tell window to be transparent or better yet re-sizable too?
