Download and Installation

Requirements

CortUI is designed for being installed over an unmodded UI. It might conflict with other UI or HUD modifications. The minimum resolution is 1366x768.

Download

The latest stable version of CortUI is 2.0-beta1 with these release notes and can be downloaded here (1.1MiB). The list of changes can be found on the page VersionHistory.

Note for everyone hosting Allegiance download collections: please just link to this page or the CortUI site itself. I have enough bandwidth and the download is fairly small. If you re-host it, that usually means that I have to deal with old versions floating around--at least subscribe to the Timeline RSS feed if you feel like you really have to.

Changing HUDs

Since version 2.0, to switch HUDs, launch the Allegiance client and use the 'Graphics' -> 'Style' menu (or Esc, O, H).

Uninstallation

To uninstall CortUI, simply open the Control Panel from your Start menu and select Add or Remove Programs. CortUI will show up in the list as Free Allegiance CortUI, right next to Allegiance itself.

The uninstaller will remove most traces of the CortUI installation (excluding the backup files from the next section), but it will not go back to whatever UI modifications you had installed previously. The restored UI will be the one included in the Allegiance installer at the time of the last CortUI build.

Restoring files overwritten by the installer

Whenever the installer overwrites configuration files, it first creates a backup copy in the directory 'artwork\mods\CortUI\Backup <date>' of your Allegiance directory. So if you installed CortUI, but afterwards noticed that you had installed another mod or made some modifications by yourself that the installer has overwritten, you can restore them from this directory.

This has to be done manually, however. It is considered a special case and therefore not covered by the installer or uninstaller.
