GUI Enhancements Several enhancements have been made to the user interface. Some of the highlights are: Players can now put Vehicle objects on the toolbar to call/store vehicles. Radar now has "consider mode" which shows con rating of NPC’s and creatures, clicking on a mission icon in the datapad will display a small summary of the mission without having to open another window, an option was added in the chat options menu to filter out chat from /afk players. For all those fans asking for it, we have added an option under “Miscellaneous” menu to disable the camera shake!

Crafting Inventory Control: A new feature has been added to the options window to help organize and reference resources. Open up your options menu by pressing Ctrl-O and then the Interface button. Scroll to the bottom of the window and you will find a list of crafting values. By checking the corresponding box, your inventory will now display the number of your choice on your resources.




GUI / Keyboard



  • Added option under “Miscellaneous” menu to disable the camera shake (In-Game, press CTRL-O and press the “Misc” button)

  • Crafting user interface (UI) now has additional information about resources. This new feature has been added to the options window to help organize and reference resources. Open up your options menu by pressing Ctrl-O and then the Interface button. Scroll to the bottom of the window and you will find a list of crafting values. By checking the corresponding box, your inventory will now display the number of your choice on your resources.

  • Radar now has "consider mode" which shows con rating of NPC’s and Creatures (Mobiles)

  • When clicking on a mission icon in the datapad, a small summary of the mission will be given in the UI without having to open another window

  • Fix problem with the GUI not updating XP totals when XP is gained or lost

  • Fixed a problem where some of the UI menus, like the cloning screen, would auto select a blank line.

  • Fixed the spurious con(sider) mod radar circles on vehicles/corpses

  • The Planetary map now always correctly displays POI list.

I am on a T1 line and these boards have slowed to a crawl because so many people are needing answers about Jedi.

Please over 600 replies not to your post please answer us.

Logged on brifely this morning before work to check things out.



I love all the changes except one. It's too hard to read some peoples names at times. A little more bold in the font would help.

It wasn't a different color... it had a drop shadow/black outline before... and people (myself included) have been complaining about the "new" way since the patch hit TC.

Also missing from the patch notes.... calling and storing your bike from your toolbar... and still not changed although it was expected - not being able to call pets or mounts from the toolbar.

They did. Theres an entire thread on this subject matter. Leave GUI issues to this thread and the Jedi issues to other thread in this forum.

The con circles are awesome! Now I don't have to tab frantically when hunting. Woot!

Camera shake toggle: working fine, no more screen shaking caused by "#¤# too lazy to repair their bikes.


Text shadows: I miss them, it's kinda hard to read shop signs and such now. Maybe put in a toggle for those that want shadows on the text.

TH, why did you decide to put publish 10 in to live before fixing the autopull problem? I know the Jedi are more important /eye roll, but this is just wrong. You said it was a bug. You had it on test center for three weeks. You had all that time, yet you couldn't fix this small problem? Caylin came back form the summit and said that you really did care about smugglers.....yet.....uuuuugh this just hurts. We are tired of this treatment. STOP hurting our Profession!!!! If you cant find the time to fix our profession that is fine, we choose to play on. But FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, stop hurting it MORE.


Thank You
