Description
Game Update #49 Compatible


* This mod is compatible with the Info Center but does not require it.

Description:
This is a horizontal version of the journal with a working vertical splitter. It has a small minimum size and can be resized as needed. It eliminates a lot of the original journal's unneeded extra space and comes with a slim border. Overlay buttons appear on the Active, Completed, and Group tabs to look-up quests at EQ2i and Allakhazam. Now included also is the Active Quest window, which also has overlay buttons.

Three tabs (Writs, Quests, and Epics) have been ported over from the Info Center to co-exist here in the journal window. This is an extra way to keep track of where you are on a quest, or quests, you are on.


Installation Notes:
- How To: Install A Custom UI
- eq2ui_journals_quest.xml goes in your CustomUI folder.
- eq2ui_journals_active.xml goes in your CustomUI folder.
- eq2ui_custom_optional.xml goes in your CustomUI folder.
- /InfoCenter/ folder goes in your CustomUI folder (retain folder structure from Zip).


Extra Install Notes:
- 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>InfoCenter/includes.xml</include>

Interesting. I'll have to check out the window and see why it wouldn't work.
Must be conflicting code with a "homepage" setting of some sort.

Glad you got it working though

You understood me correctly.

I wonder if it's not working with your Custom Browser UI window. I'm not sure why it would cause problems, but it may be the cause...

Strange that you are having the problem.

Does the same thing happen when you click the Button inside the journal itself, and the button the smaller active quest window? (they both have the buttons to lookup quests).

Sorry for the confusion, and lemme know your results.

I got both from clicking your List of UIs and downloaded them since those are the only versions listed.

Is there a newer version that fixes this problem, or a previous version that works the same while fixing the link buttons?

There was a problem with the version previous to this (mid october) that had buttons that were incorrect. Make sure you have the latest files in your ui folder.

And let me know if you manage to get it working or not!

But my problem is, when I go to the journal and click one of my active quests and click both the alakazham and eq2i links, neither take me the quest, both links aren't working. It just brings up the browser window to the blank homepage.

Am I missing a file? I haven't seen anyone with this same problem so am curious where I went wrong.

Othesus Active Quest window with web search buttons 7/20/2007 GU36

I didn't compare the two XML files with the UIBuilder since I'm still trying to
wrap my head around how it works.

Will try to get things working correctly for the next zip I update. No prob

Thanks so much for your work on improving the EQ2 UI. I have a slight
problem with the eq2ui_journals_active.xml file however.

When I mouse-over the active quest window, the "previous" and "next" quest
buttons do not appear.

I see they are listed in the XML file and I believe it may be an issue with
the OpacityEffector:

Code:
    <OpacityEffector InitialOpacity="1.000" Name="FadeOutEffector" Speed="3.000" />
    <OpacityEffector Name="FadeInEffector" Speed="3.000" TargetOpacity="1.000" />
    <Page Name="ButtonPage" OnHideEffector="FadeOutEffector" OnShowEffector="FadeInEffector" Opacity="0.000" PackLocation="left,top" PackSize="absolute,fixed" ScrollExtent="250,40" setvisible="true" Size="250,40" Visible="false">
        <Button Location="7,10" Name="LastButton" OnPress="questbrowser_prev" PackLocation="left,top" ScrollExtent="24,24" Size="24,24" Style="/ButtonStyles.tabscroll_right" />
        <Button Location="32,10" Name="NextButton" OnPress="questbrowser_next" PackLocation="left,top" ScrollExtent="24,24" Size="24,24" Style="/ButtonStyles.tabscroll_left" />
        <Dropdownbox BackgroundOpacity="1.000" Location="53,5" MaximumSize="16384,32" MinimumSize="195,32" Name="LastUpdated" PackLocation="left,top" PackSize="absolute,fixed" RowTemplate="/CommonElements.Dropdown.data.dropdown_template" ScrollExtent="195,32" Size="195,32" Style="/CommonElements.Dropdown.data.style" Tooltip=":1c09d827cbfba817:Last Updated Quests" />
    </Page>
I'm not familiar with using the UIBuilder to see what's going on and provide
a suggested fix.

By the way, thanks for all the great work on the mods.

Oh ok. Now I understand. Yes indeed! The journal comes with 3 slightly different XML files in the InfoCenter folder. So you need the files from both mods!

The reason for this is because each mod can be used separately, and this was the easiest way to make sure that they work separately if used in that manner.

Glad you have things working
