* For 1.04+ hot-bars, you must restart the game after turning on/off hot-bars in the options->interface menu.
* 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.
