Drakah Integrated UI - EverQuest II Version for EverQuest I
Created by Drakah
Version 20.1 - June 17, 2026
Folder Name: drakah_intg_eq2
shakahr.com
Introduction:
*** ALWAYS use a fresh installation of an interface!
Interface Specific Information:
~ Spell Icons by Etasi
~ Spell Book by T.King
Installation:
(please note: the ZIP file was created by ZIP'ing the actual folder)
1) Extract ZIP file into your EverQuest/uifiles directory.
2) Double check the extraction! Many people find they have a folder-inside-of-a-folder and the UI will fail to load.
Your UI folder structure, as an example, should look like this:
o Everuest
o o uifiles
o o o {Interface Folder Name}
NOTES:
- Some windows have a transparent background/border, so you will need to find the hotspot to move the window once unlocked in game.
- You technically do not need my INI file that is included. It is only there to get you started from what the screenshot was setup to be like. Although the INI file will only work if you are using the same resolution that INI file was saved under. Otherwise, the windows will be all over the place.
The following information will help setup your UI windows as it was intended.
You can load the UI for your character by using either of these methods:
Method 1: Super Easy
---------------------
*** You CAN have EverQuest running.
- Once you have the UI extracted correctly under the uifiles directly, you can type in Chat the command: /loadskin, or open your Options window there is a LoadSkin button.
- In the Skin list, Choose the UI you downloaded and click the "Load Skin" button. You will need to move the windows around or try to mimic the screenshot that I have on the website.
- PLEASE NOTE: On many interfaces, I reuse the Player Window as just a "target indicator" and appears as a tiny rectangle to go in a tiny hole within the target window, where you need to place that inside it and lock it down. Also, edges of windows are invisable or have tiny handles, so you will need to find the hotspot to move windows around and then lock them down as well.
Method 2: Easy
---------------------
*** You CAN have EverQuest running.
* Only updates the window locations and filtering unchanged.
- Copy the "UI_Drakah_servername_class.ini" file from the UI folder and PASTE or MOVE it into your EverQuest MAIN directory.
- Backup your current UI_Charactername_servername_CLASS.ini file from your EverQuest main directory.
- Go to your Options Window, click the "Copy Layout" button, and select the UI_Drakah_Servername_CLASS.ini" file for your Resolution or Windowed, and click Copy. Do NOT click the hotbuttons, loadouts or socials, as that would replace things other than your UI. That would be BAD. If your windows are jumbled up, then there was no data in the INI file for your resolution. This is normal as I never had data for the resolution at the time of creation.
- Adjust windows/filtering if needed.
Method 3: Moderate
---------------------
*** DO NOT have EverQuest running!
* Includes window locations and customized filters.
- Your resolution may not be listed in the UI INI file and you may have to adjust the windows by hand. This method might only have data that conforms to 1280x1024 to 1680x1050. Your windows might be jumbled all over the place if there is no window data for the resolution you are using.
- The UI folder name must be the same name as it is listed at the top of this Readme file in order for the UI INI file to work correctly.
- Be sure to remember to unlock/lock the windows.
- Backup your current UI_Charactername_servername_CLASS.ini file from your EverQuest main directory.
- Rename the "UI_Drakah_Servername_CLASS.ini" file from the UI folder to your Character Name, Server Name and Class accordingly, and PASTE or MOVE it into your EverQuest MAIN directory. (example: UI_Drakah_xegony_BST.ini). Again, please know, this file could be outdated for resolution size.
- Launch EverQuest
- Adjust windows/filtering if needed.
Use the Screenshots provided on shakahr.com to show you exactly what window is used for what purpose and where the invisible handles are so you can move things around correctly. With a little patience it will look great :)
