... and for DMs * Compact DM tool bar and difficulty slider with a border for easy dragging.

Installation * Remove any old version of Charlie's UI
* Rename guisettings.ini in "My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\UI\default" to guisettings.bak

* For the 'classic alignment value' to display in multiplayer the script file 'gui_vn_classic_alignment.NCS' must be installed in the server's override directory. Without it you will get the standard alignment display.

* (optional) For compatibility with xUI rename override\charlie_ui\hotbar.xml to hotbar.bak

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.

You'll be missed. Thank you so much for this though. All the best at your Uni course.

I have not had much time for NwN2 lately and I am starting uni studies this year. At this point I don't think I will be doing any further updates to my NwN2 Vault submissions. Thank you all for the suggestions and support you have given. cheers _________________________ Charlie's Pages | Fournoi Forum | Charlie's UI | Charlie's Item Modifier | Charlie's Item Appearance Changer

Does anyone know how to scale UI? I want to run my game in 1280x1024, but have Charlie's UI in 1024x768 (because otherwise it's too small for me to see clearly).

that patch appears to get me a "missing texture" button
