These instructions should work for any Notum DovveTech variant.
Step 1
Ensure that AO's default GUI is untouched in a folder named Default, as it is on a clean install.
Step 2
Move your custom gui to a subfolder of AO\cd_image\gui (NOT "Default". Use the skins name, like "NotumDark4")
Step 3
Edit the file MainPrefs.xml
Add the line
- Code: Select all
<Value name="GUIName" value=""NotumEdge4"" />
below
- Code: Select all
<Value name="GUISkin" value=""textures\\archives_ep1\\guigfx_ep1.uvgi""/>
Replace NotumEdge4 with whatever you named the folder.
Add the lines
- Code: Select all
<Value name="ChatFilterEnabled" value="False"/>
<Archive name="ChatFilterRules"/>
Above the last line (containing </root>)
Remove the lines
- Code: Select all
<Value name="cc_left_wing" value="true" />
<Value name="cc_right_wing" value="false" />
<Value name="cc_right_bar" value="true" />
<Value name="cc_left_bar" value="true" />
Step 4
Edit the file CharPrefs.xml

<Value name="cc_menu1" value="true" />
<Value name="cc_notum_menu" value="true" />
<Value name="cc_notum_perkwindow" value="true" />
<Value name="cc_notum_inventory" value="true" />
<Value name="cc_notum_skillwindow" value="true" />
<Value name="cc_notum_faction" value="true" />
<Value name="cc_notum_perkmenu" value="true" />
<Value name="cc_shortcut_numbers" value="false" />
Above the last line (containing </root>)
Search for cc_rollup_panel and append the lines:
- Code: Select all
<Value name="cc_left_wing" value="true"/>
<Value name="cc_right_wing" value="true"/>
<Value name="cc_left_bar" value="true"/>
<Value name="cc_right_bar" value="true"/>
<Value name="cc_left_target_control" value="true"/>
<Value name="cc_right_target_control" value="true"/>
<Value name="cc_left_menu" value="true"/>
<Value name="cc_right_menu" value="true"/>
Step 5
Edit the file LoginPrefs.xml
Remove the lines:
- Code: Select all
<!-- Notum options -->
<Value name="cc_menu1" value="true" />
<Value name="cc_notum_menu" value="true" />
<Value name="cc_notum_perkwindow" value="true" />

<Value name="cc_notum_faction" value="true" />
<Value name="cc_notum_perkmenu" value="true" />
<Value name="cc_shortcut_numbers" value="false" />
Step 6
Edit the file OptionPanel\Root.xml
Change the first line from
- Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" ?><Root>
to
- Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" ?><root>
and the last line from
- Code: Select all
</Root>
to
- Code: Select all
</root>
Search for #IconTimerText and append the following lines:
- Code: Select all
<OptionCheckBox label="Show Nano Target NCU" opt_variable="ShowNanoTargetNCU" opt_type="variant" opt_category="Char"/>
<OptionCheckBox label="Show Fight Target NCU" opt_variable="ShowFightTargetNCU" opt_type="variant" opt_category="Char"/>
Step 7
To use the custom GUI, do the following (in-game)
type in this in chat: (with the quotes)
- Code: Select all
/setoption GUIName "NotumEdge4"
As in step 3, replace NotumEdge4 with the name of the folder with your custom GUI.
Then, either relog, or make AO reload GUI xml:
Press Shift+Ctrl+F7
A window will pop up with 2 tabs on top.
In the left-most tab, there's a single button labeled "Reload Menu"
Click that.
You should now have a working custom GUI
What could I have misssed?
