This link was posted in another thread, but is very important for UI modders. Coming straight from JeuxOnline.fr is a video showing of the UI customization already in game. I know that the ACE community is already looking into doing work on this, but dang if this doesn't just make me giddy. :-D
If this is defualt UI customization, Mythic has been playing close attention to WoW and other competitors. Score 1 for Mythic. Score 2 for the UI Mod Community.
Check out the first video:
1. Personnalisation de l'interface (déplacement des UI, redimensionnement, barres etc) (http://war.jeuxonline.info/actualites/19594.html)
Update:
I also found this at the Warhammer Vault...
UI
Completely modable with LUA still.
Default layout editor comes with the game so that players can adjust the layout of their UI to their liking. This will never break with patches. (Hotbars are currently being worked into this system)
UI Mods are all local to your computer.
I pushed for more information on whether or not UI mods could change the functionality of the default game and Adam went into details:
Certian "Hooks" (modding lingo) will not be allowed.
It is inevitable that some people will get around these hooks but they'll be taken care of.
Nothing like WoW's "Click to cure this automatically" or "cast this based on that."
"Nothing that automates gameplay at all" will be allowed.
There will be basic macros allowed in-game
