$100 for a UI?

I know it's not much, but it's more than any other mod author gets!

I've had a UI idea for over a year that I'd love to see realized, but I haven't been able to get it done dispite my own education in software development.

It's a mod to the XP bar involving a little bit of fancy graphics.


Anyhow, I'm very serious about paying someone to get this done and hopefully it won't be much work at all, as it's a really simple concept.

My email is AlbertMarty at Sbcglobal dot net

Thank you for your time

Fancy graphics? Depending how complicated you are looking to do, that should be fairly easy. There are several ways you can do this.

Here is a quick one. This will only change the default texture for a custom one, however you will get an XP bar that can show some useful info in addition to being able to easily move and resize the XP bar. First get an Ace2 mod XPBarNone, as well as the Ace2 mod Surfaces. Surfaces is a collection of textures that can be used by users of many Ace2 'bar' type of AddOns. Find em both at http://files.wowace.com Now what you do is drop your custom graphic into the Surfaces AddOn (format as .tga, specific setup is available in a number of places) into the Images folder. Now open up Surfaces.lua in Notepad and add a line containing the name of your custom texture (follow the format of the existing lines. Easy way to do that is copy and paste one of the texture entrys from the [] symbol to the next comma including the spaces then replace the name of the copied texture with your own. be sure to hook that new line just after the last texture entry ("Steel"). If you have done this correctly you can now use XPBarNone to apply your new custom texture to your XP bar.

If you are looking to do more radical changes to the XP bar, then you may want look into custom codeing your own or maybe play with the Discord series of mods.
