Why GW doesn't have moddable UI's like WoW is still beyond me.
Maybe it's time to get the gears going then?
But with this i mean really moddable things like being able to see various countdown timers on enemies like how long hexes last etc.

Its amazing man.

My only complaints:
*EXP bar doesnt get brighter as it goes farther to the right like the actual beta interface

*Some of the buttons (namely the ones in the Guild menu for announcemenents) seem to be pressed in and they look kind of weird.

Very nice!

I always wanted to play with this interface when I saw old beta screenshots, never got the chance to. Downloading Texmod especially for this one, thanks

they aren't the current "Beta" (aka STAGE version of gw, they are from pre april 2005)

and compared to my sshots, they are pretty DAMN close to what it was

ok xxod here is a list of things I noticed:
*Health Bar and Energy Bar need to be brighter like they were in the beta
*Some buttons (namely ones in Guild menu + party search) seem to be pushed in when not chosen, and pushed out when chosen. Which is wierd.
*XP bar doesn't get brighter as it goes farther right like it did in beta.
*Health bars need a 50% darker marker like in your upper left screenshots.

Otherwise its perfect!

Looks nice, but I'll download a mod when someone does this interface:

P.S. Yes... OMG to the skill bar and attribute distribution... I was a nub.

What he posted wasn't the beta, he posted the alpha.

The beta is the one you posted, that one had Ascalon etc.

The alpha had Khylo (which would become Ascalon)

EDIT: To clarify, he posted a screenshot from the E3 beta, but the actual beta is what your 1st post screenshot was, the one that more people go to play, not just E3 people.

Yep that was the E3E (E3 for Everyone) event. It was free to anyone who cared to download the client so a lot of people did get to play it. (Notice that Khylo has 11 districts.) Here's the full-size screenshot:

Who remembers attribute refund points!?

EDIT: Cause it kind of sounded like he was going to update this beta mod to that E3E interface...:/

No worries. It's cool to see the old interface decorations and if someone (other than me) wants to do the E3E alpha client interface... more power too them.

I would love it if xxod did the E3E interface, but he has a couple more things to fix in this one before its a perfect representation of the beta interface! :P

...I WORSHIP YOU!

I loved the Beta medieval-esque interface, and Prophecies had a fairly nice interface. After that they decided to make things all modern and generic. X_X

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

...sigh...if only we could mod even more thoroughly and make it TRUE beta - attributes in the hero window, skills in the skills window.

Personally I believe the Beta UI is a little better than what we have now. What we have now distances us from the game world. They should put back the beta UI for PvE and the current one for PvP. That would rock!

/signed for letting us choose UI skins. It would be cool if we could choose Beta, E3, and all the ones until now.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Yeah thats the icon for Healing Signet, before they changed it to another skill. I don't remember what it was back then though.

Hmm, my memory is fuzzy on that signet... I thought that for E3E they gave everyone a resurrection signet. I could be wrong though...

Off to do some research...

Although I don't remember very well, I think that in the E3 event Healing Signet was for all professions.

yea and killing some mobs was horrid. the heal signet made some mobs almost impossible to kill.

I'd love to play with the original interface. That was one of the worst decisions by Anet.

xxod nice work, but I think the inventory is a bit to dark and the aggro bubble is too dark too. But that just might be me.

I really like this mod. Nice work. The E3 one is crazy, if you could do that, I might just PAY you....

jk :P

But really, if anyone does manage to do it, they'll receive my thanks
