Loot window

[Ronaku]

I use a few interface pieces here and there, nothing too fancy. My current problem that I'm wondering if it can be fixed is this. When looting in groups after killing a bunch of mobs, it opens multiple windows, and instead of stacking the windows, they slowly move diagonally across my screen, and from that point on, they open in any number of locations that one had previously opened. So far, the best I can do is try to manually restack them, and then a few will open in a pile before it starts going diagonal again. Is there anyway to make a loot window that will either stay put and stack on top of itself, or make a loot window that can hold the loot from multiple mobs on it so that its just one bigger window, instead of 10 or 12 smaller ones all over the place? I know it seems minor, but its a bit of an annoyance that no matter what I do....the loot windows just go where ever they want, even if I manually move and lock them.

To make them always pop in the same location change line 2 of eq2ui_inventory_loot.xml as below (bold is what to add). 100,100 is in the upper left corner. Bigger #s move it down and to the right. Save the altered file to your mods directory or it'll be overwritten when you patch.

<Page Activated="true" eq2opensound="ui_window_inventory_open" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="100,107" OnShow="Location=100,100"MaximumSize="1000,1000" MinimumSize="346,250" Name="Loot" ScrollExtent="346,250" Size="346,250" UserMovable="true" UserResizable="true" version="2.0.0">

I've tried it, and it doesn't seem to be working. If I read the old file, it says location 100,107, that's the default place it pops up right? Where its just slightly down and to the left of the hp/power bars. Well, I added OnShow="Location=100,107" but it still seems to move around. I put the modded file into the folder with my other mods. Is Onshow suppose to make it appear in that location everytime it opens no matter what? And thanks for the help with this, its appreciated.

Also...I'm trying to edit it in notepad, where the formatting is all weird...random lines are spaced in and such...could this be affecting it? In order to test it, I was using different values for location, to see if it was moving it...is this not a valid way to test it? I'm not really too familiar with XML, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not.

How very odd. It seems the OnShow event isn't triggering when the loot window pops up. I'll try to look at it tomorrow.

Any thoughts from the sagely lurkers out there in the interim?

This sagely lurker says to add a space after the red quotation mark.

OnShow="Location=100,100"MaximumSize="1000,1000"

I had a space after it on mine, still wasn't doing anything. Tested it with different numbers just to see if it'd move the window, but nothing worked.

This is the line from the xml file:

<Page Activated="true" eq2opensound="ui_window_inventory_open" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="100,107" OnShow="Location=100,107" MaximumSize="1000,1000" MinimumSize="346,250" Name="Loot" ScrollExtent="346,250" Size="346,250" UserMovable="true" UserResizable="true" version="2.0.0">
