[aprilmaeshowers]

Hello guys, i just downloaded Goldi's UI. i love it!! but i keep hitting the performance options on the STARTBUTTON and messing up my graphics!! is there anyway someone could edit it for me and remove the graphic preferance butons but keep the other options on it like the NOTES/SHOWHOOD/EAT/STOP EAT ect. Just removing the graphic resolutions buttons.

I dont have time right now but a real quick way for you to do it , would be to open up the file called "eq2ui_mainhud_startbutton.xml" and remove the lines as follows

<include>eq2ui_custompreset1.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_custompreset1.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_custompreset2.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_custompreset2.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_custompreset3.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_custompreset3.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset1_extreme performance.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset1_extreme performance.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset2_very_high_performance.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset2_very_high_performance.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset3_high_performance.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset3_high_performance.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset4_balanced.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset4_balanced.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset5_high_quality.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset5_high_quality.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset6_very_high_quality.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset6_very_high_quality.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset7_extreme_quality.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_video_preset7_extreme_quality.xml</include>

And save the file..

That will leave you with a blank area to the left of the window where the profiles was...

And then from there the Parent window just needs to be reduced in width and that would be job done.

dunno if this works or not but hey if it does i did something right with ui mods again eq2ui_mainhud_startbutton.xml
k thats what i did i just didnt see laffs post while posting my own post =P

One more thing Can i do this in Notepad? or do i need a html editer?

[Kosmos]

The notes that Laffs mentioned above are include statements.

They tell the game to load those buttons in the startbutton panel.

So if you can use notepad to remove those lines and then save the file.

then the game will just not load those buttons.

No need for an HTML editor, or even using UI Builder.

As laffs said the panel will ahve blank spaces where the buttons were.

[Laffs]

Thanks Kos, I never been very good at explaining stuff lol

April I will edit that file for you later if you havent done so and size the menu down so you dont have a blank area.. That will probably be in about 3 hours or so from now as still have lots of work left to do

[Laffs]

Oks April give this a try,

Unzip it and drop it into the "Goldi" folder and let it replace the existing one...

P.s
Goldi, nice neat layout of styles etc in that mod, The code in the start button mod me is working on looks like its been thorugh a hurricane in comparison LOL... you have shamed me into cleaning it up prior to release (well just a little hehe), Going to hijack a couple of your button ideas also to fill up a bit space, If thats oks

[aprilmaeshowers]

OK that worked for deleting the custom set buttons, BUT it removed the big EQII square (just a blank black bok) and also removed the harvest, show hood, eat, stop eat, night vision, notes, and harvest info. it only kept the volume controls. I did what you said , erasing the lines you said to. and mine worked , all except the notes and harvest info. Any idea why this is happening when all that i removed was what you listed? i didn't touch the harvest or notes information. This is stressful i don't know how you guys do it lol

[Laffs]

Lol true...

Oks so what is happening with the one that I posted here for you? Just as a note no need to remove anything from that one...

Looks like I may have to pull up Goldie's UI in the builder then to fix this up for you

[aprilmaeshowers]

ya yours is the one i spoke of with the black EQII box and nothing but sound working. i just draged and droped it in the goldi folder to replace the other one like you said. So i tried it my self , and the harvest. notes. doesn't work. but everything else is fine on mine. But yours didn't work for me :P
I even tried the one he posted and it is the same as mine.

also i think i would like to keep 1 custom setting button incase i mess up my graphics. is it possible to keep 1

Hehe... SHHHHHH (your not surposed to tell everyone me messed it up big time lol j/k)

Oks I need to look deeper into this then, 1 profile left can be done yes, Either that or the problem you said you was having was clicking on them by accident,

Now what could be done is edit all the preset files so each button requires 2 clicks to activate the settings... BUT if it is done this way any new profiles you make will need to be edited in the same way as they would default back to the single click method... Just a thought...

Leave it with me, I am on it

[Goldi]

hey April, check the new version. It can be resized as to hide those buttons, when you dont need them

[Laffs]

Nice one Goldi, Saved a job
