User Interface

From Mabinogi World Wiki
(Redirected from Friends List)

The User Interface, or UI, is the main hub through which a player interacts with the game. It consists of windows, systems, and clickable icons.


Gamebar

The main gamebar.
1-Menu options 2-HP,MP, Stamina and Hunger 3-Menu Bar 4-Current level and EXP. 5-Minimize bar 6-Other features
The minimized game bar.


The Gamebar is where the player can adjust and see all other options of the User Interface. It defaults to the bottom center of the screen, but it can be dragged and moved.

  • Minimizing or maximizing the Gamebar while it is floating in another area on the screen will automatically put it back to the bottom center.
  • If the Gamebar is moved in a certain radius of its original position, it will go back where it was.

You may press the Windows key on your keyboard to quickly open it.

Screenshot Mode

UI - Screenshot Mode info.png

You can press the Prtsc, or Print Screen button on your keyboard to automatically save a screenshot of the game, which will then go into your {Documents Path}\Mabinogi\Screenshot folder by default.

However, you can make use of the screenshot mode to rotate and adjust the camera view in a more precise way.

  • The camera will stay fixed while the mode is active. Moving your character around will not affect the camera.
  • While this mode is active, other characters will not appear transparent if near you.
  • Press the up or down arrows to move the camera up or down.
    • Press the mouse's right button at the same time to zoom in or out in a slow pan.
  • You can make use of the mouse's right button to drag the camera across larger distances.
  • Roll the mouse wheel to zoom in or out.
  • Press the mouse wheel and move your mouse to move the camera's angle.
  • You can press both the mouse's right button and mouse wheel for a faster drag.
  • You can move the camera well past the map's limits.
    • The game may not render the map at this point if the camera is too far.
      • If you happen to get the camera out of bounds, exiting screenshot mode will focus back on your character once more.
  • Tip: Allow for your range of vision option to be at maximum if you wish to take screenshots of landscapes.
  • While in screenshot mode, players, NPCs, animals, monsters and other entities will only appear if they are within your character's range of view, regardless of camera position.
  • Pressing 'OK' on the pop-up message will automatically save a screenshot of your game.
    • However, you may instead make use of CTRL+N to hide names, and \ to hide the user interface, then press your PRTSC button on your keyboard to achieve an UI-less screenshot.
      • There is no way to remove the 'Mabinogi' watermark at the bottom right of the screenshot once taken.

Menu Bar

See the respective pages when applicable for more information.

Menu bar.png

The Menu Bar in Mabinogi consists of several in-game menus. From left to right, these are:

Character Info

    • The players who will join the chat will only see the conversation from since the moment they join.
    • When the players close the chat message, they will leave the group conversation and must be manually added back to join again.
    • If the person is offline, you can only send Notes to the player.
  • You can block people through the Friend List. When you are online, the person that is blocked will not see you online.
  • You can enter a player's Homestead through the friend list, if they are in the same server as you.

Blacklisting

The blacklist is a means of blocking another player's appearance and activity.

Minimap

The Minimap in Tir Chonaill, showing NPCs in the area as well as animals and monsters.

The Minimap is a small map that shows the current area the player is in. The 'M' key is the default shortcut to allow or disable it.

  • The minimap display can be forcibly disabled in some instances such as Missions and special quests.
  • The transparency, view and size of the minimap may be adjusted.
    • Some larger maps may not fit entirely within the minimap, even at its largest and most zoomed out.

  • The course will be shown in light blue on the minimap with flags as the set points to reach.
    • You may use Shift+Click to set multiple points to the destination.
    • If there are small obstacles in the way, the character will attempt to move to the side and go around it.
    • If there are large obstacles, the character may not be able to get around them and will require further input.
  • You may access the World Map from the minimap for a broader outlook.

    • Soulmates are also marked with a white triangle.
  • NPCs are marked with a Green person icon.
  • The player is marked with a white dot, with the red dots representing the direction the character is looking at.
    • The red dots are a good marker for Distance.

NPC Search:

  • The search bar is Case-sensitive.
  • You do not have to search starting with the first letter of the NPC; the search function looks through every character in a NPC's name.

Record Video

General Information

By clicking on the Record Video Button very bottom right of the screen a tiny window will show up. The window shows options such as start, stop, upload to YouTube, and upload automatically.

  • As time limit of this function is actually limiting, proper recordings done over a large span of time are better done with a dedicated recording application.

How to Record

  • Pressing "Start" on the Record Video window or the corresponding hotkey (by default, "Left CTRL + U") will allow the user to begin REC.png recording the game.
  • Up to 5 minutes of consecutive recording may be done.
    • After five minutes, the recording will automatically stop.
  • You may stop recording at any time by pressing "Stop" on the Record Video window or by toggling the hotkey.

Notes

  • Higher resolutions will increase the quality of the video, therefore making the file size larger.
  • Any sounds that are playing from an external program, such as Windows Media Player or a web browser, will be recorded as well as any sound playing from Mabinogi.
  • Recordings are saved in the "{Documents Path}\Mabinogi\Video" folder.

Uploading to YouTube

  • The game allows you to directly upload any recordings onto YouTube with less hassle.
    • To do so, press the button labelled "Upload to YouTube" on the recording window.
  • You must have a YouTube account and input your username and password in the respective fields.
  • This may take some time depending on your internet speed, the recording's file size, the server load, or YouTube being down for maintenance. It is common during uploading for the player not being able to type messages, load skills, or open any right-click menus.
  • It is not recommended to upload directly to YouTube through the game due to the large file size. Video files can take up to 2 GB in size and can slow down, not only the performance of the game, but other resources such as web browsing as well. It is highly recommended to convert the video into a better file such as ".MP4" before attempting to upload the video.
    • It is ill-advised to use "AUTO Upload" feature, as it often leads to issues with the associated YouTube account.

  • The Character window has been adjusted multiple times since the game's beginnings.
    • The Rebirth interface has also changed multiple times to account for new updates.
  • Prior to the G16S2 update, the target cursor was different.
