To change parts of the 51.dat in the "x modify with drag and drop elements" folder.

After installing the mod, make sure you're logged out of FFXI.
Drag 51.dat into copy into texhammer, lots of images show up.
To change the pointer arrow from modded to original, goto images/pointers and drag "anc anc" file into "anc anc" box
To change the font used for nameplate, font font (main font):
vanilla is the normal XI font, different battle numbers adds different numbers that show up when you hit something. Treb is the font used in previous verisons of XIview and LoL is league of legends type font)
To change the mission/npcdialogue pointer drag "anc btwait" into "anc btwait" box.
(Original is the original versions of these images)
To change the color of macro keys from blue to grey:

Press save at the top right and make sure to save it as 51.dat and not 51_HD.dat.

THESE FILES MAY NEED TO BE UPDATED AFTER A PATCH IF THE DEVELOPERS UPDATE THE UI. 90% of patches they will be fine, but sometimes these files need to be updated and I'll post a new version if this is the case here. Check date at the top.

By RadialArcana 2022-11-30 08:45:05
UI & Chatbox background mods: (work with XIpivot, no need to restart just change window texture to 1 and back to 8 to reload after a file swap)
These go in rom/0 folder
I would suggest renaming 21.dat (which is 8 in the config option below)
You can change them in config/windows/shared=window type
Black Leather
Black Plastic Dots
Blue Plastic
Blue Leather
Stone Blue
Cotton Blue
Blue Squares Chocobo
They look better in the game, the UI is semi-transparent so can see some background in the screenshots.
------
------
All dats go in the base /rom/ folder unless otherwise stated.
Corsair Card Rolls HD Mods
Best used with XIpivot, since there are a lot of dats.
Corsair Card HD mods (lucky / unlucky numbers)
-----
-----
Level / Mlevel / Job Point / Merit HD mods
Best used with XIpivot.
Level / Mlev / Merit / Job Point HD mods
---
Balloon Blue Story Dialogue Windower Addon
Download the zip, put the folder in your windower addon folder and start it by typing.
//lua l balloonblue
You can drag the text box around with the mouse.
The addon adds a what looks like a 3rd chat window and all text that comes from a cut-scene or NPC (also things like home points) is also displayed onto that. It auto hides when not needed.
The balloon can be moved with the mouse and the new position is saved. The text is still displayed in the normal chat log.
It works with enter key, mouse button (just don't press the left mouse button on the addon itself) and gamepad.
When talking to an NPC (or in a cut) that requires a prompt to continue it will stay on the screen until you give one.
If you talk to an npc that does not want an enter to proceed it will wait 5 seconds and close.
If you're fighting and the monster says something (for example Odin or some Ambuscade monsters) it will display for 5 seconds and close.
Pressing enter will always close the window before it auto times out in 5 seconds.
Turn off enternity or it will just skip the bubbles along obviously.
GhostyStar made a more advanced version of this addon Link to Thread.

Really enjoying these changes in my first few hours with them! My favorite so far are the elemental replacement icons, had no idea such a simple change would be so nice. The master stars also look amazing as do the bazaar and linkshell icons.

It's nice to have something different to play with if nothing else xD Appreciate you testing them out.
I'll prob start uploading mods to nexusmods once I'm sure it's working properly and go from there, easier to keep them updated and it doesn't eat my google drive.
By zigzagzig 2022-12-01 13:44:04
Pretty good, and thank's for the work done.
Also to share it to the community !
( Ps: Jeanpaul icons still better to read specialy on BRD songs )
The subtle deliverybox work for 000/000/000 is really nice
Star and Bazaar icons , best i have seen so far , love the U.I big time

So far so good, I'll report if I run in any issues.
Thanks!
Edit: Love the cursor! Edit2: No crash at all, super clean on Ultra Wide.

These look great! Is there a way to set a unique icon for each brd song so we can easily identify exactly which we have, like to differentiate between HM and VM etc.
Sadly not, just family of song and HM and VM are considered the same family. Red for minuet, haste pink color for marches, blue for accuracy etc
Worth keeping in mind you can mix and match from other Xivew mods, so you can use 51 from this and 57 (skill icons) from another if you want.

This is a condensed version of the UI mod with a different nameplate, again it's not finished and so is still rough and not properly sized on some letters.
Less space between letters, basically more squished and condensed together to give a more appealing look. Icons are also more rounded and job point stars are different.

Gave this a try last night and everything looks great. One thing I ran into though was the party buffs shown on xivparty addon were of my xiview icons. Would there be a way to integrate this into that addon so everything matches?
Yeah it's just a matter of making a folder for that addon with these icons in it.

Very nice on ultrawide, thanks!

If anyone using ultrawide can post a pic of the nameplate it would be great, just so I can see font spacing etc.

If you use my All-In One HD Packs make sure your putting 57.dat into the HD/Lore Pack and 51.dat into the Final Fantasy Rom/119 folder. I had this same issue and it's due to the two dats currently being modified in different locations for people with my setup.

Really enjoying these all so far :) My only minor suggestion would be to maybe consider adopting some more at-a-glance discernable coloring for some of the buff icons in the top bar, like for songs (e.g. do a bright red note for minuets, bright blue for marches, etc.). I don't have a screencap handy but when you're sitting on 20-30 buffs plus negative status effects in stuff like Sortie, it's a bit tough to figure out exactly what's going on. Granted, much of that is just learning the new icons, but it was tough to differentiate some things whether Regen/Refresh was active, various stat down icons, specific songs, etc.
That said, I still like them enough to keep on using them, even with no changes!

I'll probably make the circles around the songs colored too, to make it easier to distinguish. Also maybe the refresh red up arrow to green or something.

Awesome, thanks. I'll make one even more condensed to try soon.
