BoNeeMods

[Bonifarzia]

BoNeeMods is a package of player made client modifications for Planeshift.

It consists of various widgets and utilities, a skin and some fanart textures, which all can be used independently. All mods are hosted on LigH's webspace as well as on GreatShift. The latter contains some further informations and can be commented in a separate topic here. In the following section, I give a list of some contents with (mostly) links to LigH's mirror.

1) BoNeeWidgets: Some compact GUI layout, suitable for moderate and low resolutions
2) BoNeeSkin : A crystal themed GUI skin (which also contains the above widgets)


3) BoNeeMaterials, some fanart textures. The collection is split into several small packages, which are the following:
Azure Robes, Blue Robes, Brown Robes, Crystal Robes, Dark Robes, Plates, Red Robes, Faces, Clothes, Dresses and a trivial patch for fynwnn robes.



4) BoNeeKeys: A collection of user commands and key bindings.

Redone from scratch, intended to provide a very clean keyboard layout even for excessive numbers of shortcuts.


Thanks to Neeno for his contributions to the BoNeeSkins and to LigH for hosting the files.

Detailed information on the contents and instructions how to use the packages are found in the contained README files.
The description pages on GreatShift give further information previews for each mod.

Nevertheless, I would like to emphasize and summarize the following points about modding the textures (materials.zip) of your client:

• Always make a copy of  your Planeshift/art/materials.zip before modifying it
• Use a file archiver that allows you to drag and drop the modified files into an existing zip archive - don't unpack the zip if you don't know to repack it in the very same way.
• Always copy back the unmodified materials.zip before running the updater - else it will download the entire file.

Neeno has provided some remarkable workaround for the above procedure, but this will require to compile your client from the sources on SVN.

If you have any problems with the files, feel free to send me a PM.

Thanks in advance for constructive comments.

Wow ! Very nice skin.
I especially like the rune-like icons and rough stone trim.
I'll try it out when I have a chance 

[Dralion1221]

It looks cool! I'll try it out sometime. Got it already downloaded

[LigH]

Yay, Boni, you look as young as ever...

Ahm ...

Oh, you mean the GUI skin!  -- Yes, an interesting idea, reminds me on an inverted geode (Druse).

Diamonds are a girl's best friend, eh? 

[Liquify]

Looks nice! 

[Bguy]

I'm using it now. The small inventory images make them look better.

Thanks for your comments.

I admit there are some flaws in those files. Two of the most annoying ones have been fixed (hopefully) and above links are updated.

Note that there is more to discover than can be seen in the preview.

[Luzino]

Unfortunately the links don't work any more, mediafire only gives me an invalid file notice. Maybe you could re-upload them and update the links?

[Bonifarzia]

Thanks for the note. Temporarily fixed, but I will look for a more reliable place to put those.

Just a note:
I had Boniskins and I replaced everything it does, without leaving a copy of the original. I believe this made me unable to update, so I had to download the game again to fix it.

[LigH]

@ Bguy: In your case, a "Repair" update should have fixed it.

As stated in the Readme.txt, be sure to backup your files, especially the large archives such as materials.zip before modifying them. Usually, the updater should still be able to do the job, downloading the entire archive instead of simply patching it. Otherwise, a repair should help, as LigH already mentioned.

The Way of the Hammer decided to pack up all files (original as well as patched) to a whole ZIP, which can be selected as skin via pslaunch; but this results in a large size (11.8 MB).

New (and rather reliable) mirrors:

Basic GUI skin / Materials addon package

[Bonifarzia]

Minor update to version 2.2 (still unfinished)


New content:

plated rivnak (still not the way i want it, but will do for now)
active magic window
better readability of chat window
xml files for the layout are now in the skins zip file
some more minor fixes
finally, a reliable download mirror

Ah, interesting. I expected there must be a more elegant way to include the textures than patching the materials.zip, but simply did not find out how.

Basic GUI skin / GUI and Materials package

Thanks again. Notice the materials package does not include the skin (GUI).

So I changed my link title.
