Description
Game Update #64 Compatible


* Alternate version: see my Tiny Group window: here


Description:
This mod is similar to the default window, but has been slimmed down a bit and has removed a few of the extra graphics. F2-F6 text is included, as well as speaking icons for voice. Effect icons have "click-to-cure" for quick curing of party members.

A hover-shown button display on the top-right of the window. This brings up the options window to define all your Quick Cast/Quick Cure buttons. These abilities save by character name and are unique to each. After you set your abilities once, it's recommended to fully restart EQ2 if you plan to switch characters and then switch back. This is a code limitation. Once you fully re-log after setting abilities, they will save indefinitely.

Cures use a "smart" check and only cast when a debuff counter is shown.


See this topic for detailed information:

Installation Notes:
- How To: Install A Custom UI
- Simply unzip into your custom UI folder.

If you already have a modified eq2ui_custom.xml, only 1 line is required in your eq2ui_custom.xml to use DrumsUI mods:
Code:
<include>DrumsUI_custom_includes.xml</include>

Update Log:
2012.08.14
- Fixed side-aligned cures/clickbuttons displaying improperly after the SOEmote update.


2012.04.17
- New option to toggle individual borders for group members (similar to raid window).
- Changed default Cure Curse command back to /useabilityonplayer. The /cureplayer has been reported from multiple players that it can sometimes fail to cast. Users will need to manually edit their buttons.

2011.12.11
- Click cast/cure buttons, Item Notes, etc, have been increased from 5 to 10 max lines in the popup window.
2011.01.25
- Click buttons & cures should be more dependable. Re-coded buttons' display code.
2011.01.25
- Click cure buttons have been fixed to not attempt to double cure.
- Click cure's 'default settings' have been changed to use Sony's "/cureplayer" command. This mainly helps with Potions and non-healers and can be easily updated by using the "Default" button while editing.

2010.12.16
- Subclass text option added as an overlay.
- Cure buttons setup next to health bars should no longer keep resetting/disappearing.
- Adjusted the pet "P" text to show a little better with cures set to the side.

2010.11.28
- Pets are now included as a toggle (pet alternative window now obsolete)
- Quick buttons can now be switched to show next to the health bars rather than as an overlay. Note: only Cures OR Quick button cans be on the side. Attempting to turn both on will revert cures to normal location.
- Fixed a bug in code which caused button customizations to copy to incorrect characters.
- Added new "refresh" button to the Group Settings & Player Settings windows. These can be used at any time should your Quick Cast/Cure buttons fail to load properly.

2010.08.29
- The help text when editing Quick Cast/Cure buttons has been updated. Wrapping double quotes around spell names allows use of abilities with apostrophes without relogging first!
- The group window's "Hide Yourself (F1)" will now properly save. This also fixes hiding/showing yourself with Cures showing to the side of group members.

2010.08.23
- Changed the default text in the click to cast buttons to make it more apparent how to edit the "useabilityonplayer" command.
- Updated included file eq2ui_popup_add_poi.xml to support DrumsUI Item Notes

2010.08.23
- New persistant option to display cures to the bottom of (default) or to the right of group members via the settings window (Pet version not supported).
- Click-to-cast buttons in the Group window now appear on yourself if you're not in a group and choose to have yourself visible.

2010.08.18
- Minor update for GU57
2010.05.03
- Reverted g1-g6 commandline casting change. Your tells and channel text should be normal again.
2010.05.02
- toggle "self" (F1) added to options window (both normal and with-Pets versions)
- Switched window to use g1-g6 commandline casting, supports international players and still maintains Battlegrounds functionality (both normal and with-Pets versions)

- Now able to hide quick cast buttons via the settings window
- Curse icon on "self" in group window now displaying the proper graphic
- Group member's quick cast buttons trimmed down a bit, making more space to click on group members with the mouse
- F2-F6 text now serves as a /follow button for each member

2010.03.19
- Initialization updated (again!)
2010.03.15
- Zip updated with correct files and initialization
- Pet version included in Alternative folder

2010.02.25
- Updated for Sentinel's Fate
- Now includes same functionality as DrumsUI Full Release raid
- Pet version included in zip

2009.11.20
- Initial release

Is there any way to stop the "This spell or ability is no longer available" text that appears when using the click cures?

Currently there's no easy way other than directly editing the XML file.
I may create an options file so you can enable/disable spells in the future, or maybe make an in-game options window like my player window.

More than likely I will include this as an alternative layout with the group window in my Full Release for DrumsUI. I will try to keep my individual pieces updated as well.

For the "Group & Raid Click Button Setting" window, opens to edit the quick cast / quick cure buttons, I have to toggle the 'Frame and Titlebar' value in the "Frame and Title" drop down box to clock the window. Otherwise, the window opens up with no 'X' button in the top-right corner to close the window.

Is there a possible fix for this?

Trying to use your group mod to replace ProfitUIs group window mod. In the window where ya change the settings to the quick cast / quick cure buttons, a "Point of Interest" window opens when I click the edit button in the "Group & Raid Click Button Settings" window.

Looks like it is asking me to create a PoI instead of changing the quick cast / quick cure button ... I am so confused !!!

EDIT : Ok. I have played with it for a while, it does NOT work. From the screenshots i see above, awesome mod for the group window. Just doesn't work. Need a little help here.

This standalone mod needs an update since it's recent release. Hold tight while I get a working one ported over from the full UI.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Busy week!

UI Addon not loading/saving properly and settings are not maintained uniquely between characters.


I managed to download the DrumUI auto updater and only downloaded the files from this updater program that were listed in the instructions above plus another "eq2map ignore" file. Once downloaded from the autoupdater, i moved the files in the location indicated in above instructions and modified the eq2_custom.ini file as inidicated in the instructions above.

Everything works EXCEPT the UI is not saving properly. When I restart the game, all the settings are erased and replaced with the default settings.

Game loads up. I go to edit the quick cast buttons and save. Look into my file directoy to view the customUI folder/POI/drumsui_textsettings.xml ... My settings are shown to be saved in this file. I /camp to desktop to shut the game down. Then, I come to start the game and login my character and the text file still keeps my settings. BUT ... i go to click the appropriate quick cast button in my group window, nothing happens.

Then, I open the "group & raid click button settings" window. My customUI folder/POI/drumsui_textsettings.xml contains my settings. THEN, I click the edit button for "click #5" and my customUI folder/POI/drumsui_textsettings.xml file has been overwritten with the default settings.

My conclusion is ... UI mod seems to save to the xml file properly. BUT, the UI mod is not properly loading the customUI folder/POI/drumsui_textsettings.xml file.

I switch to a character and my previous textsettings file were carried over from a different character.

I just have to redo the quick cast setting buttons everytime I restart the game or want to use quick cast on a different character. Once I do this, everything works fine. So, at the moment, it is just a nuisance but usable.

I am not familiar at all with any of this programming stuff, just got my testing knowledge.

I hope this helps ya to fix the load/save function.

The problem is the missing file you really also needed is: eq2ui_popup_addpoi.xml
This file is what properly does the saving, AND the initialization code was incorrect in these stand-alone click-button windows!

I'm updating this zip PLUS the Full UI release momentarily. There have been no issues with save/load from the Full UI, just these pieces as the code needed some updating.

So I encourage you to try it out once the update is validated by a moderator!

Cheers

Hi
I tried your new group window and it completely messes my UI. Buttons don't work, the map window has no icons or overlay, etc.
Is it a problem that I don't have the map tool?

Sounds like an issue with another mod. What other mods are you using? This mod only changes the Add POI window, and does not alter any maps or icons.
