I always had the problem of losing track of the dark default MousePointer in some of the AoC encounters, namely Seruah and such.

Though I'm not a "clicker" there's just some occasions where you have to use it, e.g. clicking Spellweaving buffs.

Now I stumbled upon the AoCQS thread and noticed someone mentioning custom MousePointers, and here I go with my own versions

Ingame screenshot with the cursors I modified
(They have been altered for maximum visibility, I'm perfectly aware of the fact they lost most of their eyecandy details)

Download: here

NOTE: I am still running DX9 myself, so I had no way of checking out the DX10 cursors ingame, if they don't work leave a note please.

AoCQS/ MousePointer plug-in install instructions (by Tiar):

Install And Usage

• First install Aoc Quickstart v2.2.0.0 or newer, earlier releases will not work.
• Download the plug-in, unzip and put the plug-in into <INSTALL_FOLDER>\AoCQS\Plugins
• When developing mouse pointers tick on "Show Log File" in the Configurator to see what the plug-in does.
• Put your custom MousePointers in <Age of Conan directory>/Data/Gui/Customized/gfx/MousePointers/

To the UI developers

• The *.tga files are used for the DX9 client.
• The *.cur files are used for the DX10 client.
• I don't know what the *.ico files are used for.

Uninstalling the custom MousePointers

• Just delete the MousePointers folder under <AoC dir>/Data/Gui/Customized/gfx/
• When you start the patcher afterwards, the game will download the original cursors again.

Thx a lot.

Lost pointer is one of the pains i had.

I also didnt know that - "Skip intro video " feature is available.

good work once again.

I've been using this plugin since months, and I integrated custom mousepointers in my UI.

It works great, except the EULA confirmation at each launch... But that is Funcom fault for providing us with a non developer-friendly interface...

Why is this thread not a sticky yet???

Hi,

I 'm running Aoc DX9 and AOC QS .net 2.4.1.0

I've extracted the files .dll from the zip into the folder /plugins in AOC QS plugins dir.

I launch age of conan, but nothing happens, it doesn't work at all.

Did you explain all to install and use it, nothing to create, to copy or to excute to have it working ?

Or maybe it doesn't work with all kind of modified UI. MIne is ==> http://translate.googleusercontent.c...zHRCeCRnxLIEnQ .And there is no MousePointers folder in it. So, I created one and copied the mousepointers .dll in it, but still not working.

Does it work only with specific Ui, or also with the game by default ?


thx for your answer

Did you create the MousePointers folder in the gfx directory?

Then you shall know that dx9 client uses *.tga cursors, and dx10 client uses *.ico curors. Also, you need to respect cursors names or they won't be detected.

Besides that, the plugin works automatically. There's no settings, confirmation popup or whatever. If your files are properly located, the client will uses them.

re,

i found an alternative solution.

I touk the cursor default .tga from the last release of Stonerune UI, then i put it in my Funcom / Gui / customized / Gfx /MousePointers and it gives me a bigger and brighter cursor.

That's better.

I 'll try to find other models of cursors .tga


Thx for your help
