ThorUI Help [Need Help with the User Interface? Post here!!!]

[Faetyl]

I just went through all the blues again and they were all blue.
I don't know what's going on with that.

Which blue do you want and i'll see if I can upload here and you can manually place them where they need to go
or
Just download gm9's skin pack as it's the same thing.

I just took his pack and made it available through the ThorUI AU.

[gm9]

If it helps, here is the light blue skin from the ProfitUI Skinpack 3.2. Extract to your \Everquest II\UI\ThorUI\images folder (overwrite existing files).

[Faetyl]

Thanks gm9, you rock!

I love this interface and i'll use it whether i can get these issues resolved or not.

if i get Milquetoawst's infocenter working perfectly, i lose the notes feature (i can live with that) but also the timer feature, which becomes a black box that occasionally crashes me if i click on it.

any suggestions? I am a *non coder* so please be gentle.

[Faetyl]

I'm thinking his infocenter modifies the "eq2ui_journals.xml" file.

Therefore you should add the folowing lines to it. (Use notepad to open)

 
<include>eq2ui_journals_notes.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_journals_timer.xml</include>

FYI, my start button has my infocenter option on it.
Look for the "blue book" icon.

[Megera]

yes, but that seems to open the browser up. v_v which always hangs my computer.

that did not make the fix - i will dig around and see if i can figure out what it is not reading properly and let you know what fixes it if anything.

<edited the next morning>I got it all working by using an old fashioned fix from my ancient /dos days. I copied the info into where it was supposed to go. no workie. I copied it to where it was not supposed to go - ie, in the body of the directory instead of its own neat little files, making the thor UI directory also the infocenter ui directory. put in the lines you mentioned - and now it works. ^_______^ so i have both of them and i am very happy. I'll tweak it some day and figure out exactly why it works but for now, i'm happy.

I got part of this to work by messing with the xml file and if it would work for multi-accounts it would be the absolute bomb. right now i can get it to work wit one account at a time - which ever one i'm logged into.

I love this feature - has anything been worked on to get the multi-account loading feature working?

[Faetyl]

Check the feature notes in the Auto Updater.
Press the "..." button next to the feature in the Auto Updater.
It has complete instructions.

[Megera]

duuuuuh. I thought i'd checked that. v_v thanks!

[MeanKty]

I've installed the UI and most if it has totally installed. I have 3 problems with it though. The Hotkey bars are the old style bars, the inventory bags are mixed (2 are the Thor UI and the rest are the EQ2 default bags) and the spells that are on the right side of the screen are the default EQ2 ones. I've uninstalled ThorUI and reinstalled it about 5 times, deleting the folder and the EQ2.ini files but for some reason it won't update those few things.

Any ideas?

[Faetyl]

I don't have a clue how that's possible, much less how to resolve it if they really are mixed with default and thorui.

Note: Both are resizable, perhaps you didn't apply my uisettings?
Did you "/load_uisettings" while in game and choose one of the thorui presets I included?

[Kevlin]

After LU35 when I logged in on ALL my chars (including my new evil fae) I opened my bags to find them all 1 slot wide and going downwards. Easy fix of course just unlock and resize.

The same thing happened in the bank as well. Any ideas as to what got hosed during the LU?

Thanks and please have a on me.

[Faetyl]

wow that's annoying.
Sounds like your window placements file got jacked up somehow.

You can always just load one from an alt if you have them setup the same. (Or load one of my presets)
/loadui_settings while in game will bring up a selection window.

This usually happens around update time no matter if you're using a custom ui or the default.
It's usually due to SOE changing chat channels, window settings, and so forth...

[wolffenstein]

When i create a new toon the default control panel does not load.

[Faetyl]

correct
/load_uisettings

[Fibrus]

Since LU 35, the Questwindow dosent workl curectly, i do a city craft task (rush order), if i take the order from the tabel and become the update the questwindow now will show the first item that i must craft and nothing more, although the windows have the right size to screen 2 ore more items i must crafting ....

sorry for my dam english, i read many english texts but i writing rare text

[Kevlin]

I installed the new Tank settings for target and the other one. Neither show up do I have to reload the /load_uisettings to make this and the pet box show up?

I have always set the display the way I like it on my main toon then use /load_uisettings <playername> to have it on all my toons.

Thanks,

[Skinn]

I just set up my chars (again, after reinstall) for the shutdown ability to swap between chars rather then going back to select screen.
Altho this may not be something to do with your UI, i thoguth i would mention it to see if any one else is experiencing this.
When i look at my eqmap, i can see icons from the previous played characters zone.

Is this just me?

Are you saying you are having problems getting this to work? If so, have you properly modified the necessary file? There are detailed instructions in the updater (in the section where you choose the mods you want to utilize, there are ". . ." buttons after each mod that give you instructions on ow to use).

If memory serves correctly, this has been tracked down to using the VAM (View Any Map) plugin. I believe this issue also causes the wrong map to be displayed on occasion (mainly only in large zones like Antonica or Commonlands, where the map is divided into 2 parts).

[Skinn]

I have the character select working in shutdown, thats fine.
I just looked thru my Thor setting and cant find any thing along the lines of this VAM thing u mention tho m8. Certainly sounds like that could be the culprit from what you say there.

[Faetyl]

The view any map plugin was removed 4-6 months back.
I recommend deleting the thorui folder if you're experiencing issues and let the AU pull everything back down for you.

That should resolve all issues recently stated (journal, map, etc...)

[Skinn]

your right a reinstall sorted it out.
thanks once again

[Myanta]

Just wanted to say thanks to Faetyl. He has added my Tanking Set to the ThorUI Auto Updater.

Their are two sets of Player/Implied Target /Target windows. I use a 17" wide screen at 1920x1200 and so use the normal tanking set. A lot of people don't have that much screen area so I made a medium set that is 3/5ths the original size.

Thanks again!
