Extended quickbar

Unread post by freekender »

I have noticed in some screenshots posted on the forums that the quickbar has more than one "line". I have navigated through the menu options, the forums and the nwnvault but have found nothing remotely similar to upgrade the common "one-line" quickbar. How can it be changed?

There's a variety of UI overrides available for this. I even read a tutorial about how to make it yourself but it was a fair bit beyond my capabilities.

Checking my Override folder I am currently using Hotkeys Big-bar and Charlies_UI in addition to a variety of cloak, tile, texture, tree and grass overrides. You can probably find one to suit your tastes out there.

UI and texture overrides are the only types permitted on BGTSCC, so be careful what you put in there!

Does anyone recall if that tutorial is still around somewhere?

I used it years ago but I need to update my hotbar as it no longer fits my screen resolution (and has not for a while!).

The download link for this tutorial is also broken, but it's more in depth.

Thank you Blackhorizon and WookieWarlord! Though I swear it looked much easier the last time I did this... :lol:
