This is correct, if this didn't make Fetish load up automatically when you started the game, there is something wrong with the nesting of the FetishUI folder placement. For windows 7 it should be as follows:
C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II
Once the .ini is placed in the correct area, go here:
C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II\UI
Inside this directory there should be three folders (unless you have other custom UIs besides Fetish), these are Default, Default_Blue and Fetish. Just as with the Default folder, when you open the Fetish folder, you should see a long list of .xml files as well as a few folders. If all you see is another Fetish folder, you have installed incorrectly. You will need to go through any subsequent folders until you do see a long list of .xml files and a couple folders. The game can not load the UI if it is inside sub-folders.
That is to say if you have something like
C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II\UI\FetishNightfall\Fetish
This is not correct, and you will need to move the UI files out of the sub-folder (\Fetish in the example above) and into the main folder (\FetishNightfall in the example above).
Once you have confirmed that the files are in the correct area, you need to check the name of the UI folder. Name it anything you like, personally I change mine to simply Fetish. Whatever you decide to name it, you need to be sure the .ini is looking for that folder, so go back to the first directory I listed above and right click to edit it. Once open in notepad it should look similar to this:
Code:
ics_maxcameradistance 60
cl_show_voice_tutorial 0
cl_movie_enabled 0
cl_show_welcome_screen_on_startup 0
cl_ui_subdir UI/
cl_ui_skinname Fetish
# Hides the Welcome screen on startup
# cl_show_welcome_screen_on_startup 0
The portion in green is all you really need for the .ini to work properly. As I said before, just be sure the name of the folder for Fetish matches exactly what the .ini has listed after "skinname".
All of the above is just for the install of FetishNightfall V11.9 released by Zonx. Once this is installed, you will need to download the GU_61 patch for Fetish (accessible from the download page of FetishNightfall V11.9). Once you download the patch, unzip it somewhere you can find it.
In all cases when downloading any UI or patch, I suggest you make a folder on your desktop and unzip the files to that folder. Then open the new folder and sift through what is included until you find a folder that is usually called "UI" (this can differ though). Basically you're looking for a folder that has .xml files in it. From a patch, you will highlight everything in the folder right click and choose copy. Now go to your Fetish directory {C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II\UI\Fetish} and paste the files in.
Anytime you use a patch it is wise to make a back up folder of the previous version of the UI, and wait a bit until you're sure everything is working as it should for you, if you have problems you can always revert to the last working copy you had.
I know this looks like a lot, and I know that pain medicine can seriously mess with your head, so I tried to make this as easy to follow as I could. Let me know if you get stuck somewhere or need more help.
If done properly, you should not ever have to use the in game /loadui command, the game should boot up with Fetish files being used.
