Components of the UI

Notes

  • In the Throne of Destiny Expansion, the Asheron's Call UI received many new features and improvements:
    • New interface skin.
    • Pop-up dialogues.
    • Instead of logging out and changing the keys from the login screen, keys are changed in-game using a large pop-up interface.
    • Floating help system window that has branching, easy-to-navigate menus.
    • The chat window can now be resized smoothly by clicking and dragging on its upper edge.
    • To alert the player when new text has come in, a small, blinking arrow appears at the bottom of the chat box instead of automatically scrolling down.
    • The status text, that used to appear in the top corner, has been moved to the top center, made red and enlarged.
    • You now see a 3D model of any person or monster, instead of a small icon, when you view them in the Examine Target Panel.
  • In the Castling event, keyboard binds for mapping a number of UI panels and character options were added.
  • In the Friend and Foe event, a tooltip was added for when you have dragged an item over to another object, player or NPC in the 3D window, so you can be sure you're about to hand it to the right thing or person.
  • In the Blood From Stone event, Mouse Turn & Movement was introduced.
