[UI] For those not seeing the new UI, solution here.

from Elemental Forums

Some people are not seeing the new UI or have a different looking UI than what you see in videos and pictures from other users. The reason is that your UI is messed up and needs to have a forced update. To fix this, go to C:/Program Data/Stardock/Elemental-FallenEnchantress/Screens folder. Inside that folder is some UI stuff. Delete it all. Then boot up the game and you will get the new files from the server. This should make things right. Thanks to Cari_Elf and Heavenfall for help.

Good info, Sean. Does the new UI look identical to what people should have from .86, or is it different from that?

OK, so I moved every file that was in the /FallenEnchantress/Screens folder to a backup location and tried to start the game, and now it crashes on startup.  Anything I should have left in the file?  Should I remove the -localdataonly from my shortcut to initially start the game?

 

EDIT: Tried starting without -localdataonly tag, still crashed.  As far as I can tell, when you say Program Data you mean Program Files, as I have no folder called Program Data.  There are 287 DXPACK files in /FallenEnchantress/Screens, and when I removed them all, the game decided it won't run.

What OS are you using? Program Data is different from Program Files. It is usually a hidden folder. You would need to set all hidden folders to be shown before you can see it. I recommend putting those files back and searching for Program Data. Of course I am using Windows Vista.

The Program Data folder is hidden and only exists on Vista and above. On XP it'll be elsewhere (under your user folder, though I don't recall exactly where offhand). The ones that are in the actual install location are required.

Ah, I didn't realize there were hidden files.  I'm on Windows 7, I see Program Data now, and am launching FE as I type this to see if that fixed the issue.

 

EDIT: Still unable to see the modified startup screen for your mod, Sean, nor can I see the new traits you added for sovs.  Most weapons and armor appear, but Ophidian Scale Mail doesn't load.  Reinstalling the mod and uninstalling another mod to see if that fixes the problem (currently have mods disabled to see how your mod runs).

OK, so I've reinstalled WFNB, cleared the programdata (NOT the program files XD ) several times, deleted all saved games, and got rid of the other mod I had installed, and am still unable to see the new UI for the sovereign creation.  I modified the shortcut with -localdata only as well.  Not sure what I'm missing.  As I mentioned, I'm running Windows 7 on a midrange HP, not sure what other information, if any, is pertinent.

Here is a copy of my screens files. Just delete all of yours and move these in:

Screens Link

Remember that -localdataonly blocks you from getting the server's new files. So the correct procedure is to delete the contents of Screens folder, start up the game, being connected to the server. The server will then see that you don't have any UI files and give you the new ones. Then you can go back to -localdataonly.

Moved to the Waiting for Next Beta Mod thread, as it seems a more appropriate place to discuss my problems.
