This hak can be used by a player to make HP look even better *Grin* In my opinion anyway, it's a big download for some, but it is awesome!

I'll post a screenie if I can..

Interesting. I'll download it and check it out.

By the way, I see you can't see Kyli's portrait. Didn't you download the last update? (however long ago that was)

Nice optional graphic update. I like it. Now I want a sweet custom user interface like yours. :P

"Its the newest online sitcom, Pimp My Game!" (I know, bad me for doing that.)

Omg another post! But this one has a noble purpose.

Just figured I'd give people a heads up on what they'd be getting into with this override. It is an optional update, it adds many new and exciting things to the module that others won't see unless they have it. That being said, it will cause conflicts in certain areas, and improvements in others. For example:

(Images resized due to the fact that my normal screen resolution now is 1920x1080)

Image

Hogwarts Castle, The Great Hall, was improved by a stunning new floor, glossier tables, and some other little details here and there.

Image

Durmstrang Institute, The Great Hall, now looks like it was part of an Aztec city. Various shrubberies and more pillars than should be legally allowed have been added not only here but all over the school. Exploring these areas can cause for some mildly glitchy moments, but mostly just a lot of weird looks.

Due to the fact that WoHP was not built around this hak pack, the override was essentially left to its own devices to spruce up what we already had in place. Some things you will like, others might drive you nuts. Put simply: "Download at your own risk."

Just discovered a fatal problem with this update. It -will- cause you to crash if you go into certain areas like the Mystique Caverns. I just got Kyli stuck in there so I'm going to remove it now. Not worth it if I can't go into certain areas.

*Grins* Thanks for the mass of info there Priestess.
I also noticed the Great Hall becoming Aztec Ruins.. Did you see Diagon? It looked very Diagony >.> :P

Anyway, ya, very optional. >.>

And you don't have to -remove- the hak, you can disable certain parts with a file that comes with it
EDIT:

Just grabbed the updates, and custom interface? >.> do you mean the colored Icons? lol

Thats an awful lot of files to go through to figure out which ones are causing the crash. It possible, but I'm not about to try it right now.

It's actually relatively simple, it's most likely Civilzation, Interior

Looks different, sure, but I can't really say I see how this looks much better. The only major point of note is that it turned Durmstrang into a freakin' Aztec temple. I'll pass on this one.

Okay, so far the only known crash spot is the Mystique Caverns. As Tera pointed out that can be fixed by disabling a certain batch of files. I'll be testing that later today and posting up the file names.

I'll make a few notes here. Disabling those files will also mean you lose the effect in any area that was made with that tile

Also, the crashing may have just been your shaky connection, Frith, I'll test it myself and let you know

I can confirm the crash at the Mystique Caverns. Tried with an alt a few days ago.
