This is a bit of an odd question i'm sure, but..

Would it be legal/ok to replace one or more of the cursor files in the pwi folder, with one or more of the cursor files from an older install of pwi? o.o like, to use pre-tideborn cursors? i want the old ones, but i don't want to get banned or anything over a mouse pointer.... so i thought i'd ask before doing anything ._.

Also, this is half a suggestion, and half just a thought...

It would be nice if there were an option in the game, to switch to the old pre-tideborn gui, with the dragon style window frames, and the really cool looking hp/mp window and such. the newer cleaner gui is ok, but the clean plainness of it makes it kinda boring compared to the old.. and i'm kinda nostalgic i guess. if it's legal and allowed to do so, i'd like to know any way to swap the gui to the old one, if it's not legal, let me know please.

same as the case with the cursor, i'm not touching anything untill i get confirmation that it's ok.

    I believe that would be fine, as u will be the only one effected by that. and there was a thread somewhere, that said u can change the interface to pre genesis, so i dont see why u couldnt go all the way back to before tideborn, if u find the right codes

    Heres the thread i was talkin bout:

    I actually like the original interface before any of the expansions. I wonder if i can find it in any of my screenshots. =O

    It looked like this Old Gui

    Now on the subject of the eathguard one being more streamlined got to give that a 100% no. There are large unclickable spaces with the new one because of invisible elements of the images. Top right under the mini map and all around the squad boxes. Also all the blocks they changed are huge compared to the older set ups.

    As stated above there is a workable edit confirmed by Frankieraye Here to save digging through the pages. First post on that thread even has the code to change.

    *admitting up front that I don't have any idea how to go about changing things in the guts of the game*

    But...

    As I recall, the original UI had a few different buttons (ie: PW radio that was never working, etc). The new one has the hyper exp buttons in the player picture corner and in the system settings ~lower right corner area~. Will resetting your UI to basic cause those items to freeze/crash/**** up your game?

    Like I said, I don't really know how they work, but it's something that occurred to me when I saw the picture of the old original interface.
