Update Log:
v1.13 - 2010.08.19
- New: Included new graphic file that slightly modifies the "queued spell" pulse to be more visible. Rounded icon borders are untouched.
- Update: Inspect player "show appearance" button now matches the inventory. Also slight tweaks to element sizing/spacing
- Update: Persona window's border changed to be round on to the top as well (to match and keep consistency). Also the tabs at the bottom take up 5 pixels less space.
- Update: New casting bar is now 4-pixels smaller vertically.
- Fix: Tradeskill window now properly displays 6 buttons (update caused only 5 to show during crafting)
- Fix: Tradeskill window will now bypass the "Prepare" page ONLY when hitting the repeat button. This is the cleanest method to allow comissioned crafting to work and allow repeating to be more fluid.
- Fix: Rally Flag and Online texts in the guild window are now properply aligning to the bottom of the window.
- Fix: Fixed a few spacing anomolies on windows with tabs that weren't caught the first time


If you get a message saying a file could not be downloaded on your first run, it's just the eq2ui_inventory_inventory.xml being deleted.

Update Log:
v1.15 - 2010.08.25

- Fix: The Faction dropdown in the Persona window once again expands long enough to avoid needing a scrollbar.

Journal: Storyline icons black?
 

Hello, first a HUGE thank you for your UI, especially the auto-updater! LOVE IT! Everything's working great for me, with one exception:

In the storylines tab in the quest journal, all my icons (the ones that show if you still need the quest, or are done, etc) are gone, just solid black. I loaded the default journal and they all show up fine, load up the custom file again and they are gone. I have done this ignore/unignore thing twice now, just to be sure.

I'm getting old now so it's entirely possible I'm missing something simple. Am I the only one with this issue? Happening on 2 different computers (can try a third later). The last time I used the storylines was maybe a month ago (July 2010). I only noticed the issue this week.

Thanks for any help, and obviously this isn't urgent!

I'll check in to it.
I honestly can't say I've used the Storylines feature personally since they've implemented it.

Update Log:
v1.16 - 2010.08.29
- Update: 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!
- Update: Map icons updated to support the new GU57 "regions of interest" update (Thanks Mysstie!).
- Update: Map icons image file updated to support ROIs, Battlgrounds icons (players and POIs).
- Fix: 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.
- Fix: The 2nd "Health Regen" now properly reads "Power Regen" in the persona window.
- Fix: Item Notes now works properly for items with an apostrophe.
- Fix: Closing the Inspect window now resets the window to the Equipment page when inspecting any player afterward.
- Fix: Missing icons in Achievements tab of Journal should be back to normal.

Looks like the eq2map2\_Skinnable_POI_Icons.xml file that the Updater has doesn't contain the "Region of Interest" code. Well, at least it's missing the line that I added to get mine working anyway.

Might double check it.

Doh :o
Not sure why it didn't copy over, will have to fix in a bit.

File has been added to the updater. I'll include it in the next update for the manual version, as it's not so high on the list as far as "bugs" go, in needing to really update the download again.

I don't use the storylines too often myself, but it has come in handy a few times. Thanks for looking, whenever you have a chance. Mostly I'm curious if it's just me having an issue. If it is not just me - well, I'm very patient =) If it IS just me, then you won't have to worry about it at all!

I pushed an update above that attempted to remedy your reported bug. Can you confirm if it's been fixed or not? Thanks!

Thanks. Just wanted to confirm that I did get the corrected file with the updater. Thanks again for all your great work and effort. :)

Partially fixed - the icons show now, but they all show as "complete" items, rather than as the three different ones (exclamation point, completed, and in progress are the ones I've seen). Close!!

Update Log:
v1.17 - 2010.09.26
- Fix: The Start menu button should be working again (Note: The menu opens from wherever your XP bar is located, thanks to Sony code changes).

Exception Thrown?
 

I am not sure if this is an updater issue or a Java issue I run the autoupdater today and the normal window pops up but it has the "Exception Thrown!" in the titlebar and a lot of this inside the window:

Exception thrown while opening HSQLDB connection

I am assuming this is a Java issue not a Drums issue? I figured I would post this stuff just in case I did somethign wonky or if the game update today did something too? ( <3 the ui btw I swear by it! <333 :nana: )

You need to close any other application using Java, and shutdown the runtiime of your current instance of Java from the Task Manager, then relaunch.

I had the same problem and got it working fine.

It was odd i had just turned on the computer and was on my broweser only.. checked to see if something was updating in the background and no java anything was on.. rebooted a few times nothing.. but now it worked tonight go figure.. ;) Thanks for the reply tho!

Update Log:
v1.18 - 2010.10.13
- Update: Persona window updated for new GU58 additions. This includes the Mount/Currency tabs, auto-inventory slot, and tradeskill mod stats (found under the Weapon/Misc stats).
- Update: Target & Implied windows now include new GU58 casting bars.
- Fix: Dressing Room/Character window's paperdoll backgrounds are Blue once again. Find and remove the "PaperdollbackgroundColor" in the respected XML files if you want the Red color back.

Having the same problem as Audabon, tried what you suggested and it's still not working :(

I've even updated Java to make sure I have the current version but still getting this 'exception thrown'.

In the updater try: Settings -> Updater -> Reset all settings

That will recreate the settings database in case it broke somehow (and the backup did as well).

Optiopns
 

Just wanted to let you know something I have found. It appears EQ2 Options menu now has a basic and advanced setting which is toggled by a button in the top right (on the default UI). Buddy of mine checked and it looks like Profit missed this update too.... Thanks for the awesome UI. The programmable (on the move) buttons are invaluable.

Profit does not modify the options window. The button is there.
