After many requests I have decided to list my UI here. The download is only for the installer/updater as my UI is too large to host here.
I first created this during pre-release beta and it has been in use and updated ever since.
Comments, complaints, suggestions are always welcome here
Current Version - 6_12
Description:
Provides a clean and tidy look for game windows. The default windows are just too darn big!
Includes:
Skinned EQ2map, TreeMOS's POIFinder, DressingRoom based on gm9's and Drumstix42's InfoCenter.
Installation:
Download and install the auto-updater.
Run it.
All done
Gotchas:
After installing DO NOT install or update EQ2Maps, I include a modified version and update maps once a week.
Installing EQ2Maps will break the functionality of this mod. You have been warned!
If you used Thor's UI - after uninstall you must delete the folder 'C:\Program Files\ThorUI'.
****DISCLAIMER****
I do not support AFK crafting, this mod is not designed for such.

The group window only shows 5 players, to show yourself use the 'Show Self in Group' on the start menu. This window will need to be moved depending on your UI layout.
The group window can be set up anyway you wish and will resize to fit both horizontal and vertical, and anything in between.
Hopefully this answered your question.  |

Heh good news/bad news. Until I can figure out why you're having issues with that window, delete it from your DeaDBeaTs directory:
Delete - *\EverQuest II\UI\DeaDBeaTs\eq2ui_mainhud_lfg.xml |

I am having the same issue with my tradeskill window. When I first log on it looks fine. If I click on an item to select it, the line gets a little longer..if I click on enough things, the level goes off the window.

That character was the one I played all day (doing Rush Orders). It turns out that every time you apply a filter to the list, that rightmost column of Difficulty values shifts ever so slightly to the right; almost so small a change that I barely see it. But when I repreatedly change filters (Chemistry, Scribing, Artistry ...) the column clearly wanders to the right. Eventually the entire column was too far off to the right to be seen.
Hope that helps, and I wonder if anyone else can reproduce this as well.

That's a new one, I'll do a bit of diggin and see if I can get it to behave. |

Removed the redundant 'Level'.

Thanks!

Sorry, it was the Event Filters (rather than Events as I said) page which is showing the overlapping icon and text. Its very similar to what you show, but the text starts under the icon. Both start immediately on the left side of the box, with the icon on top.

I added a new button next to Settings and Close that toggles a black background on and off, let me know what you think.

Thanks very much. I don't know why but your previous message didn't refresh for me before. I think it was hung up on the image download, and so I didn't get the entire response (only the first part of it).
But I sure do appreciate it. I have been using it all day today, and like it very much, as well as your fast changes.

No, but it is close. The heading is the same, the icon and recipe name (Pristine Ferrite ...) look the same. But the difficulty and the level are pushed far over to the right edge of the form, so that only the first letter is showing.
What I just noticed as I was writing this up is that only one character does this. All others show the form much like your image. Only the first one I tried does this weird column shifting (he is an alchemist), and unfortunately he was the one I was playing all day. The others work fine, even for alchemy.

For the error I will have to do a bit of code change, it's trying to copy the eq2.ini file into your root Everquest II folder and shouldn't be hanging. Fix might have to wait [/b]
|
Ok, no problem. It seems to work in any case though. It does download and patch from what I can tell, it just won't autostart EQ2. I can live with that pretty easily. |

See my previous post
Quote:
* The window for tradeskilling (with the Search, Find and Filter options, plus the list of tradeskill items) is too narrow to show all text. It shows the Icon for the item to make, the name, and then the first letter of how hard that item is to make. But it leaves off the level, and that is pretty critical. The form size isn't changeable, but can it be? Or can it be preset to be wider than it is now? It looks like it needs another 10% or so increase in width.
Thanks!

I had already looked at the other thread regarding the incorrect path setting is regedit, but as far as I can tell it all looks fine.
The current regedit settings are:
(Default) REG_SZ E:\Everquest II\EverQuest2.exe
Path REG_SZ E:\Everquest II
That path name is correct for my current EQ2 install. Is there an issue with the space in "Everquest II"? You had instructions not to put spaces in for your own subfolder, but this has been my install directory for years.
Overall, it works great. There are two issues that are critical though:
* The first I mentioned earlier regarding the chat text background, which makes a lot of the chat text very hard to read on my system. Is there a setting I can change to remove it?
* The window for tradeskilling (with the Search, Find and Filter options, plus the list of tradeskill items) is too narrow to show all text. It shows the Icon for the item to make, the name, and then the first letter of how hard that item is to make. But it leaves off the level, and that is pretty critical.

It's not a problem though. Just want to know. It seems like it's the same files being updated also.
|
The updater downloads a file 'updates.txt' which contains a list of files, the updater then downloads those files. When the updated files list gets too long I consolidate into a new version.
I did everything with text files so there would never be an issue with people wondering what is being downloaded/installed.
Running the updater once a week is more than enough to stay current.

The program crashes to desktop, but one time task manager still showed it as a current task, with no cpu cycles being used.

More notes:
* The Inventory Screen -- Top left text shows character name and race, but the levels say "Level Level 17" and "Level Level 32". They also are not aligned, and there appears to be text on the next line below but it is cut off (only the top few pixels show).

Removed the redundant 'Level'.
Quote:

* Guild Events page -- the event text and the icon both start at the left side of the screen, with the icons overwriting the first few characters of the line of text.

* The chat windows use a backdrop bitmap, is there a way to remove that backdrop? I prefer a black background, since I find the text hard to read (especially blue on blue).
|
I added a new button next to Settings and Close that toggles a black background on and off, let me know what you think.
