All I'm getting is a black screen, I tried to add the lines :

<include>eq2ui_custom_infocenter.xml</include>
<include>InfoCenter/includes.xml</include>

By right clicking the xml file and just copy / paste to the end of the document ( opened it with notepad ). Not sure what I am doing wrong...

Do you have your eq2ui_custom.xml setup properly? Make sure you rename it if you used the supplied one, as described above.

I have tried everything you suggest here and I still have no luck with this.

When I first load EQ2 the Info Center is up and displaying the window properly with the exception of no info. I click on one of the buttons for let's say "fun spells" and It says parent.parent.parent.custom.etc etc etc.. and that's it.
Then once I close the window and reopen it becomes just a plain black window space. I can close it no problems just cant see anything at that point.

I tried loading only this UI mod and no others with the same luck.

What am I missing?

I was thinking I would change this to the new default since the window now saves it's state when closing.

I may just have it as an alternative XML file included in the zip if anything else.

Can you add in on your next update to be able to close it with ESC? Thanks.

Just thought I'd let ya know.

Woot.... The new close method for the little x button works.

Thanks for the Update ***** stars...

If you are getting a black screen make sure you do this final step:

Rename eq2ui_custom_optional.xml to eq2ui_custom.xml if you do not already have this file.
If you already have a eq2ui_custom.xml add the following to yours:

Code:
<include>eq2ui_custom_infocenter.xml</include>
<include>InfoCenter/includes.xml</include>

As in a separate floating window? Or something to click from your hotbar?

If you want to open it from your hotbar, use /show_window Custom.InfoCenter

If possible could you add a hotbar button for the Info center, It would be nice to be able to open it without opening up the EQ2 Menu, thanks.

ok.. I've not been able to close the infocenter by way of the x button, however I found a way to close it. It would seem that right clicking anywhere on the window and adding the close option to the popup window that comes up will close the window.

Anyone not able to close the infocenter just edit the top line of this file "eq2ui_custom_infocenter.xml", that looks like this

"<Page Activated="true" allowcloseontop="false" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="166,199" MinimumSize="620,250" Name="InfoCenter" OnShow="TabPages.Miscellaneous.visible=true&#xD;&#xA;OnShow=&apos; &apos;" ScrollExtent="700,410" Size="700,410" UserMovable="true" UserResizable="true" version="1.0">

to this
<Page Activated="true" allowcloseontop="true" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="166,199" MinimumSize="620,250" Name="InfoCenter" OnShow="TabPages.Miscellaneous.visible=true&#xD;&#xA;OnShow=&apos; &apos;" ScrollExtent="700,410" Size="700,410" UserMovable="true" UserResizable="true" version="1.0">

Save it and close it, then log back into game.

When ye right click within the window the close option will be there and allow ye to close the window.

Odd. I don't see why the /hide_window command wouldn't work on international servers, either. It should be working just fine.

Perhaps I'll just revert the close button to normal. Those who want to keep their position in the info center will just have to minimize rather than close the window.

Turzen

sorry took so long to get back to ya, but did all ye said and no such luck.. still not able to close infocenter.. what I am doing is making invis and minimzing it.. once I open it as I have no other choice except to log out and back in.. hahahaha.. I've deleted the infocenter folder, rebooted my system and then reinstalled your version, but still can not close it.. don't know why as everything in it works just fine.. even the window settings button right next to the x.. .. <shrug>

i don't think the eq2_custom.xml file is where you put the include command coz i added that there n everytime i start the game i get eq2 error.but once i removed it there are no more error.

Drumstix42

I have a small feeling that the old version of the InfoCenter existing in the UI ini file may have left over information that is conflicting with the new Info Center showing.


If you have the extra time, and maybe an extra character slot try:
-Create a new custom UI folder and install only this Info Center
-Alter your EQ2.ini file to use this new custom UI folder
-Create a new character (Don't import UI Settings)
-Login and see if you can access the Info Center without any problems

It would be a huge help to me if you could try this if possible, as I would love to help you get things working.

Turzen

Yep, there was an entry in that file, however when I removed it the infocenter became a window of nothing but black and still could not close it. I replaced the entry and all was back. I then looked to other files where the include might be located and found it in eq2ui_custom.xml and removed it, but nothing happened. Everything was there and all worked, but still could not close infocenter.
