Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2022 8:18 pm
For anyone using the potentially outdated and older version of the Bysan UI mod included with Eden, or for anyone who wants to know how to use the Bysan UI mod, here’s how to get the updated version and how to get started in setting it up.
(Disclaimer: If you screw something up, then that’s on you. In my testing, updating to the new version of Bysan didn’t mess with my current UI element positions, but you may still need to make some adjustments.)
How to update/install Bysan UI mod for DAoC:
Join the official Bysan UI Discord channel: https://discord.gg/TqX3b3G
Find the download link under “#releases”
Inside the zip file, there is a folder named “custom”. Unpack the zip file.
Navigate to your C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot\ui
Inside, you’ll see an existing folder named “custom”. Delete this folder and then move the “custom” folder from the zip file into this location to replace it.
Inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot\ui\custom, you’ll see a file name “bysanUI.exe”. Open it.
You’ll see a list of menu items in the left pane. Each menu item has a few style selections associated with it in the right pane, in which you may choose one style per menu item by clicking on it. Go through all menu items.
Open the "Eden Launcher", pick your realm, click on options, and choose “custom skin” instead of “Atlantis skin” under the “Interface Skin Choice:” option.
Once logged into your toon, you’ll notice a new icon on the top-left of your main info window. Click on it to hide/show individual UI elements.
If you want to change graphical element styles, simply log your toon out to the character selection screen, go back to the “bysanUI.exe”, make the changes, and then log your toon back in. No need to completely exit the game.
