Startbar Expanded

Description

43.1 Somehow my last changes didn't get saved... So now it actually has T8 info instead of T2.

43.0 Updated Harvest Window... finally

42.1 Updated to work with recent changes to ProfitUI

42.0 Added Connection window to mainhud.xml making it display correctly.

39.1 Now Fetish compatable! You will however lose the Fetish Bagstrip.

39.0 Updated for GU39

This is the next generation of my Startbar. The original is still available here.

This new style now has 4 clickables in the top left corner:
Both charm slots
ear slot
primary weapon

The buttons across the top are (from left to right):
Night Vision
Auto Follow Target
Sprint
Panic (/yell, /target self)

The second row of buttons are (left to right):
Toggle Zone Reuse window
Toggle Raid window
Toggle Bags
Show/Hide Cloak
Show/Hide Helm/Hood
Show/Hide Illusion
Click to Eat
Click to Drink

The text buttons are fairly self explanatory:
Web - Opens browser
Info Ctr - Opens Milquetowst Info Center
Notepad - Opens Notepad (can be configured outside game, see txt file instructions)
Naked - Unequips all equipment, except food and drink
Harvest - Opens handy harvest window
/con - Changes target window mode from default to arrowed version

The sliders are:
Master - Master Volume
Music - Ambient Music Volume
Combat - Combat Music Volume
Shader - Complex Shader distance (turn down to 0 for a quick frame lag fix)

The Performance Panel:
Quality - change the presets from Extreme Performance to Extreme Quality (and everything in between) without opening the options menu
Custom Sets - Build your own Custom Performance Settings and quickly change between them (directions in txt file)

If you can't get it to work please try this:

Quote:

Options -> User Interface -> Game Windows -> (Uncheck) Keep Main HUD Windows Visible then click accept and Press the [Alt ~] to make it show. After you have it loaded up then you can go back and recheck the option to keep your Main HUD windows from being hidable.

Thanks to-
Goldi - The original startbutton mod
Jaxel - Taking it the next step
Kosmos - Night Vision guru and performance panel pieces
Krull - Panic button and other ideas

V35.0 Updated for GU35

Actually it wasn't (the buttons were just in different places). I did make this an option. See under patches Himay Startbar XL patch.

And is it possible to lower the 'minimize' button so when the window is minimized I can see the notepad/naked/harvest line?

copy temp.ini temp1.ini
del "Lucan DLere_Pyretta_eq2_uisettings.ini"
rename temp1.ini "Lucan DLere_Pyretta_eq2_uisettings.ini"

3.) Copy the above block and rename as needed for all of your characters.

4.) Save the text file as UI.bat in your everquest 2 directory

5.) Run the file

6.) When you have a new update, repeat steps 1 & 5

Good info and a great idea abbelyn. One thing you might also want to do is remove the character you are going to copy from all level/class specific chat rooms. These are attached to the same .ini file and can cause a major headache to straighten out.

Food and drink should be displaying quantities (see picture). I'll look into it. I'll look into a patch for your other request, but I'm not sure when that might happen.

I've read through all the threads that say bottom anywhere in them, and have tried everything (deleting my uisettings and loading default, adding and subtracting lines from the mainhud.xml, even totally reinstalling PUI from scratch). I can't figure out what the problem is, so if anybody could chime in, I'd lub you long time.

I have never had this complaint before. I will have to look into it. I'll post a patch as soon as I figure it out. I know that Fetish has a piece that is incompatible, but didn't know about anything for Profit.

Not sure what to do. Any ideas?

Included in your UI directory there should be a text document named "Setting Sound and Shader Sliders.txt" that explains how to set the volumes. There are actually multiple files you have to change to set the volumes (or use the UI builder). It's a little cumbersome, but nothing too difficult. Please let me know if you have problems after trying this.

Re: Re: Re: Re: This does not currently work

1.) That happens on every EQ2 Button mod like this I have seen, don't think that is fixable...

2.) It would be interesting to see something like that working, however I usually leave the presets offscreen and expand to the sliders when I log in.

If you use the default button itself and just wrap it, yes. The Fetish mod makes it's own button to replace it entirely. I'm not trying to be nit-picky, just pointing that out. I still prefer Himay's over Fetish for this.
