InvenUI has now surpassed 100.000 installs in just 15 months!
A close second is Stonerune with 95.500 installs in same period.
Kudos to both authors!

Blog spammers

Due to fucking idiotic blog spammers we have disabled the possibility to enter comments.
We dont want to use 10-15 minutes every day removing spam.

This is really sad, since it kinda ruins the purpose of having a blog...



AOC UI Installer version 3.x

clock March 19, 2010 11:00 by author Freddie

Finally I am going tell you guys about my plan with version 3.x

Version 3.0
1) Plugins - starting with the Buff tweak as a plugin.
2) Install wizard - UI Modders will have more options to let the users decide what they want to install.
    See preview video here: UI Wizard.avi (147.50 kb)
3) Remove an access violation - this is comming from some code I was playing around with and forgot to delete.
4) If an unknown UI is loaded the UI Installer checks a webservice for install information.
    This makes it possible for me to publish install information for any custom UI at any time!!
    Only limitation is the file name of the UI zip must be unique, and not named "Customized.zip" but a proper
    name like "Awsomeness.zip", because this is used to locate the online install information.
5) A proper installer for my program :-)

Version 3.x
1) More plugins - Font modification and hopefully more.
2) Smart install - The AOC UI Installer must be able to install UI's not know to it. By analysing the folders and files it will try to install the mod.

Im am working on a program for generating the AOC UI Installer xml file, making it easier for UI developers to
Make their UI's compatible and to make it easier to generate the new xml required for the install wizard.
It is hard work and has required some rewrite of core functionality, but I think it is worth it!
I am aming at a somewhat intelligent program that can build the entire package into a zip file.

This is subject of change ofc.
Feel free to add suggestions in the comments

I wanted to share something new with you.

I am working on a program that can build the installer file used by the AOC UI Installer.
This program will enable UI creators to build more advanced installer settings for AOC UI Installer v. 3.0

Below you can see a screenshot of the program, More...



Age of Conan hotkey manager now available

I have made a small program to help users administer Age of Conan hotkeys.

See more details: Conan Hotkey manager

You can now update and delete hotkey templates.
Right click on one of your templates and you will get a small menu.
"Update" - Will take the current hotkeys (from hotkeys.xml) and overwrite the selected template.
"Delete" - Will delete the selected template.
