My choice   

[jaculapundactum]

How exactly does one implement these mods into ones client and get them to work?
Seems like I am not the most technical person out there

What are Boniskins?

[Shangshi]

You need to download the BoniSkins2.2.zip file from the first post, and then place the file in you PS installation directory under.

....../Planeshift/art/skins

there should be a elves.zip file in there. Once there, load pslaunch and chose the new skin and then play the game.

For BoniSkins2.2additionalMaterials.zip ive not used, but you should go to ......../Planeshift/art/materials.zip and change replace the files in there with the ones from BoniSkins2.2additionalMaterials.zip

A justified question. I wanted to keep the header of this thread short, so I put those instructions in the README.txt files of each package.

Yes, that is correct so far - and should not be to complicated. Be sure to make a backup of your materials.zip before modifying it, because you don't want the updater to download the entire archive later.

And here is another small preview.

Finally, it is time to give these mods a major update to version 2.3.
To reduce confusion about the names, the project shall be renamed to BoniMods.
The title, download mirrors and introduction of this topic have been changed accordingly.



Changelog for version 2.3:

* BoniKeys included

* Scrollbar issues in chat.xml fixed (this bug is still present in the default elfes skin!)
* nontransparent chat window for better readability
* title color fixed in book writing window
* small fixes to exchange.xml
* some minor issues with buttons and backgrounds

* green platemail for fynnwn without skulls and transparent spots
* additional platemail texture and normals for the regular fynnwn torso mesh
* dark plate armor for the rivnak
* removed textures: golden fynnwn plate, simple ynnwn plate and gray rivnak plate


I would like to put the previous preview picture here ...




... for comparision with the current version:




May the light guide you.

Even an armored Rivnak. Nice idea.

That's kind of him. Also: subtle.

@topic: I do like the window reorderings. What I do not like is the ice theme. The icons are imho even more puzzling than the originals, and I find the ice borders too thick (I don't say I like the borders in the default skin...)

In terms of chat and buddy windows, I settled with this:


The button reordering one might like or not; I don't care, I like it, especially in combination with not showing System messages on Main tab. But I find the buddy list really nice; sure, you have to understand the symbols, but when you do, it can't get much smaller.

If you or anyone is interested in my XMLs for that, feel free to ask.

That's why I emphasize that the different parts can be used independently. For instance, I like the combination of Daevaorn's classic skin with the BoniWidgets.

Im curious now, this skin was posted, in 2009, and im trying to think if it was before or after 5.0 was released, if it was before then damn, ps 'sort of' stole half your skin XD

[Urriro]

Bonifarzia is must say I love your skin. It's nice and clean.

The early versions of the BoniSkins are almost as old as my account on flyspray, but the first version i posted here was the one for 0.5.0, because of the lack of custom skins and the very large default windows at lower resolutions. I would say no default skins have been inspired by this mod here.

Boni- Can you maybe change the buddy list so it is a "T" chart ? T chart so that one half is BL the other is EL, can you also make it so that there is an option wether you want to see the EL only or the BL only?
Like this -
Buddy list |  Enemy List:
ll-------------|------------------
Maisent    | Kisoji
Heleckie   | hardt
Mishka     | Eagler
Ardoin     | Kunik
Bonifarzia | Maulahan
Teshie     | Vvallace
Esorono   | Veharaul

At the botton there is the normal Add or Remove button and when you click that the popup will come. Except this time below the space where your write your name there is an option which side to put it [EL,BL]

Buddy list |  Maisent's list of lovers:

I see how it is maisent.
