DESCRIPTION: Main GUI, Start Screen/Main Menu Options, Inventory Options, Button Options, Font Size Options, Record, Map, Journal, Priest Scroll, Mage Book, Options Menu, Save/Load, Popup Box and more. Download comes with all files in one easy installer package or manual install.
INSTRUCTIONS: If you are upgrading from a previous version make sure you do a clean install and remove all files from your override folder before starting. To ensure compatibility you will need to remove all mods/files from your override folder. Once Archaic GUI is installed, you may install any other mods/files to your override folder.
EzInstaller Instructions: Run "EzInstaller.exe" and make sure the installer is pointing to the correct install path for your BG:EE override folder ("Your BGEE install path\00766\override"). Next, select your customization options and follow on screen instructions. I have included screenshots of each customization option in the download zip file for your convenience. If you wish to change your customization options after install, you may simply run the installer again (without uninstalling) and change whichever options you wish. The uninstaller will be placed in your override folder. You may also uninstall from Control Panel: Programs and Features or Add/Remove Programs depending on your Windows version.
Manual Install Instructions: First you need to copy over the GUI/Core (required) files to your override folder. Next you need to copy over your guiw10.chu file in the scaled or non-scaled folders.
Then you can choose your custom options such as inventory, font & buttons. Make your selection for each custom option by placing the folders contents in
("Your BGEE install path\00766\override")folder or your custom install path. Make sure you are placing the files within the folder: .mos, .bam, .chu, etc... files in your override folder and not the actual folder 'Buttons, Fonts, etc'.
