F.A.Q.

What does aoc.exe do ?
It works like AoC Quickstart. Allows to skip the patcher if no available update and uses specific files to customize the UI. When you close the game, aoc.exe terminates itself automatically.

I don't have custom mousepointers/shields/waypoints/flash castbars WTF!
Activate aoc.exe (right click, run as admin) in "Age of Conan/Data/GUI/Aoc/"

Can I use Strange UI without aoc.exe ?
yes, but you will miss all the candy such as custom mousepointers, yorgomirs waypoints...

What is Sweet FX ? Does it impact the game core files ?
SweetFX is a graphic enhancer that plays with lights, shaders etc. It is a simple copy/paste of those files in your game directory. Core game files remain untouched.

Is there a specific ingame graphic setup to use SweetFX ?
No, but I recommend 1.30 Gamma, no God rays and no antialiasing.

Can I see the effects of SweetFX directly in game ?
Yes. Press "Scroll lock" to turn it off. Press again to turn back on.

How can I change SweetFX settings?
Inside your game directory, even if you are ingame, open SweetFX_settings.txt and play with numbers. Save. In game, press "Pause" to load the new settings.

How do I switch from one of your SweetFX preset to another?
Just go to your game directory, open the SweetFX folder, choose the preset folder you want, copy 'SweetFX_settings.txt' and paste it in the game root directory (replace the existing file). If you were already in game, just press "pause" to load the presets.

I have tried SweetFX and now my game crashes, what do I do?
Delete all those files from your game directory.

Is there any donation possible ?
You having fun in AoC, that's all I ask

Do you intend to update the UI very often?
Only If I have new ideas...which usually come from you guys

How do I uninstall Strange UI ?
First, deactivate aoc.exe (right click, run as administrator), then delete the "customized" and "aoc" folders in "Age of Conan/Data/GUI/"

Does the Ui work on any screen resolution ?
Almost. Some parts might be too big in 800x600 and too small in 4K, but all the other resolutions should look ok.

Can I add mini skillslots?
Yes you can! Check out the tutorial, last option page in AoC UI Installer

What is the name of your toon in game?
Umahn, on Crom. Feel free to /tell me

Fantastic UI I love it. Thanks for updating it MisterClean. Also thank you to the others Bombatta, Henryx, Cappa, Smurfas, IKOS for helping with this UI.

[Widmo]

Hi, UI it's nice but for me will be better with little changes.

- Buff's on up a little bit larger
- Combo steps not to right ( i mean from down to up ) and a little bit larger
- Clearer fonts ( clearer red and white in everything )
- Larger bags ( when we open loot box or something )

[MisterClean]

Thank you guys!

Paput, you are right, buffs may be a bit too small.
About combo steps, I will add the option, it's a very good idea too.

However, can you tell me exactly what is hard for you to read with the font I used?

As for your last point, do you mean that loots are too small?

[Widmo]

Yes, when we open loot , squares with items and items are too small I think.
And what about fonts. I mean in items descriptions. Now we have grey font color in descriptions, better to change it to white.

PS: My english is not well, I'm now mobile so tommorow i will contact with you to send some screens.

[MisterClean]

Ok, I have added:

-Option to choose between "horizontal small", "horizontal large", "vertical small" and "vertical large" combo sequence indicators.
-Option to choose the first login background to appear (12 possibilities).
-Larger buffs/debuffs (from 31pixels to 35)
-claim/token buttons for F2P players
-larger Icon for loots (from 52pixels to 60)


Now I wait for your screenshot concerning the fonts before I reupload the UI.

[MisterClean]

I have changed the bottombars' layers (and left portrait accordingly) a little bit, it will come with the next update.

The old layer is now a tiny bit different.

[Widmo]

You can see. Everything is more larger in IKOS ui, I mean fonts.
This font size I want to see in your UI in everything.

[Nephturi]

It's not larger, it's bold. I'd say it falls under personal tastes here.
