Upgrading UI
A note about upgrading. Significant changes to the index.xml file, it is recommended to backup your current index.xml (if you have personal modifications in it), and after you re install then you can make the changes:
- Rename index.xml and TBird_Config.cfg to index_orig.xml and TBird_Config_orig.cfg
- Copy the new files over.
Notes about 2.9 Release
Currently this is a pre-release to the changes I have in store for v3.0. Mostly it will be to the TBird Drox Setup program, where it will have the ability to check your installation and copy the files to the appropriate places. No more editing VGClient.ini, or copying layouts, and so forth. Of course unless you want to
.

Installation
First Things to Do:[list=1][*]Make sure the default UI is set to DroxUI. (See Below in “Setup Steps to Complete after Installation”)[*]Unzip the download, and copy the DroxUI folder to your shells folder, you can find it in <Vangaurd game folder>\VGUIAssets\Shells. Note if you are upgrade, you should see a warning message that you are overwriting files, if you didn't then you are likely in the wrong place.[*] In the DroxUI folder is a user folder that contains layout presets and user.ini options, copy the contents (not the folder) to <Vangaurd game folder>\bin. If upgrading you can skip this step.[*]Run TBird Drox Setup to set your options. Could be run before step one, just will not see your changes in game until you do step one.
Setup steps to complete after installation:
The TBird DroxUI Compilation is now installed in the proper folders for use in Vanguard. You will need to edit the VGClient.ini file in order to use the UI in game.
To prepare your VGClient.ini file for use, open up the file in a text editor such as notepad. The file is located in the following folder:
<Default install folder for Vangaurd Game>\bin
Example would be:
C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\Vanguard\bin
Once open, search for the line that says “Shellname=Default”. Yours may show something different if it was already setup with a customer UI. Replace it with “Shellname=DroxUI”, the folder name of where the UI is stored (default is DroxUI). Once this is done, you can go into the game and configure your layout.
Your UI in Game
Your screen will be a mess the first time. Major features are selected in the TBird Drox Setup program in your root UI folder. First time it should read your setup and determine it's option, go through each tab and select what you want. Any options in the Setup Program you have to change out of the game with Vanguard not running.
Start Vanguard, once you are in, hit escape and get the game menu up, and select TBird Drox Settings. Here there are more features you can turn on or off, and in the bottom of the window a check box to go to layout mode.
In layout mode you will see most of the windows and you can move them around as you please.
The first tab in the setting window gives you six slots to save layouts to, so you can have different ones, or try different ones. There are some presets loaded already, so if you have any problems finding a window try loading some different presets.
Resetting Presets
In the UI folder is a folder labeled “User” in there is default layouts, and original user.ini files in case you opted not to overwrite yours and you are having any issues.
Game Controllers
To setup G15 or N52 keyboard/controllers please read the Readme.txt file in the DroxUI main folder.
