<p>Is it possible to use two UI's at once?</p><p>I'm trying to use the mapupdater and the auto attacker notifier mod, but can't get them both to work. I'm guessing I'm missing a line from the eq2.ini file, but I'm not sure what to put in there.</p><p>Right now I have the auto attack notifier working, but not the map updater.

<p>If you want to use the enhancements from two UI's at once, you have to merge them together yourself, into one directory, and specify that directory once in EQ2.INI.  (You may have done this, but it's not clear from your post).</p><p>Sometimes it's as simple and overwriting the files from one mod, with the files from another.  For example, I use Fetish, but prefer the Fluffy Quest Journal.  So I install Fetish, then copy the two files that make up the Fluffy journal over Fetish's files in the Fetish directory. EQ2.INI points at the fetish directory and I'm all set. </p><p>If the mods are more complicated, and there are interdependencies across the files, it doesn't always work like that.  Sometimes some serious XML editing to merge the desired changes together in one file is required.</p><p>Not knowing the details of the mods in question, I can't give you any more specifics, just the general idea....</p><p>-Ken</p>

<p>As Ynnek explained, you can mix and match the UI files as you see fit.  Simple take the UI files you want and copy them over the files in the UI folder you are currently using.</p>
