Fixed a few cosmetic bugs in small persona and implied target windows.
Made the welcome screen hide an option instead of default.

Oct 10, 2010

I have updated the ui for gu58 and added a minor feature. Images of some updates below as well as a zip file with the changes.

If anyone would like to try this on test and give some feedback it would be appreciated.

** eq2ui_mainhud_welcome.xml (Welcome Screen)

Modified to make it optional to show on login and skinned to match Profit.
To make it not show on login open _ProfitUI_ShowWelcomeSetting.txt.

You will see this line

<Page Name="ShowFirst" Location="0,0" Size="0,0" ShowWelcomeFirst="true"/>

Change ShowWelcomeFirst="true" to ShowWelcomeFirst="false"

** eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml (Persona/Inventory Window)

Default and both Variants:

Added Mount and Currency tabs.
Added tradeskill stats.
Updated doubleattack to multiattack.

Small variant has a compact mode that is very small.

** _ProfitUI_QuickRaidButtons.txt

Updated for latest spell numbers as posted on eq2interface.

** _ProfitUI_ControlCenter.xml, _ProfitUI_Styles.xml, images/windowelements.dds, and images/specialelements.dds

Updated to facilitate hide and skinning of Welcome screen.

** eq2ui_mainhud_target.xml and eq2ui_mainhud_impliedtarget.xml (Target and Implied Target Windows)

Added casting bar to windows.
Casting bar shows over Level information when present so as not to increase the size of the windows.

** eq2ui_journals_quest.xml (Journal Window)

Added ability to click a link to search collections.

** eq2ui_mainhud_maintained.xml, _ProfitUI_Maintained_Extras.txt, and _ProfitUI_Maintained_Extras(hotbar 10).zip

Left Aligned Only (at the moment)

Updated to integrate Dragowulf's Spelltimer mod.

You can define any spell/buff you would like to be tracked by putting the information into _ProfitUI_Maintained_Extras.txt.

Optionally you can extract _ProfitUI_Maintained_Extras.txt from _ProfitUI_Maintained_Extras(hotbar 10).zip and replace the default to allow you to use hotbar 10 to define the spells to be tracked.

You can make a macro with the name of a proc and place on hotbar 10 to track it using the hotbar option.

If you do not change the files as they are you will see no difference to the maintained window from this update (for those who want to stay current but not use the timer feature)

Tried it on test copy and welcome screen did not show on login for me

Jump3rRay · #3 10-12-2010, 11:52 AM

The game is now crashing when I attempt to close the welcome screen

joxter0602 · #4 10-12-2010, 11:53 AM

The game is crashing when I close the welcome window

zacii · #5 10-12-2010, 11:56 AM

Profit is causing me to crash on entry to game now, I am pretty sure the welcome screen is doing it:/

Kuja_Leonhart · #6 10-12-2010, 12:00 PM

Still have empty space in variant 1.

And maybe mob casting bar make more wider.

Names, AA star position and e.t.c. is ok.

Twitch · #7 10-12-2010, 12:03 PM

Yup Profit is making a lot of people crash. Pretty much clicking anything will make you crash. I was able to type /loadui but when the window came up I went to click the default ui and crashed. Any quick fixes aside from completely uninstalling profit?

koumik · #8 10-12-2010, 12:12 PM

Same here on both computer, i can get rid of the welcome screen by hitting "esc" but as soon as i click somewhere...... Client crash.

Midgetoflife · #9 10-12-2010, 12:12 PM

Its crashing to desktop when I click my mouse I crash to desktop

Jump3rRay · #10 10-12-2010, 12:14 PM

I am now tryinng the default UI, to see if that fixes the issue. I will let y'all know.

axxis30 · #11 10-12-2010, 12:15 PM

According to Rothgar on the official eq2 forums:
The crash is related to having a UI without the Mount tab. We will have a fix for it as soon as possible but in the meantime, you can delete your eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml file from your custom directory and revert back to the standard Character window.

jheidecker · #12 10-12-2010, 12:23 PM

Same here - crashing as soon as it opens.

beodragon · #13 10-12-2010, 12:46 PM

Yep crash on click

I cannot figure out what is causing this. I will keep looking at it. This shift does not happen on the target window. I copied the target window and changed the dynamicdata to be for implied target and made no other changes. The silly window still does that. I'll let you know if I figure it out.

When I log into EQ2 everything is fine , but when I click on ANYTHING my client crashes, and it has something to do with ProfitUI

. I have not seen any updates or file patches on the ProfitUI updater. I don't know about you people but I'm not trying to uninstall my entire ****ing ProfitUI . That would really blow. Someone please update profit to be compatible with GU 58!!~~

Thanks

phlouer · #17 10-12-2010, 03:01 PM

I am sorry in advance for this completely newb question, but can someone please tell me how to make a macro for gear proc's (for the spelltimer feature)

Again sorry for the newbness

**TalTal** · #18 10-12-2010, 03:24 PM

If you are using the hotbar10 option you would make a macro.
The macro is made by pressing Ctrl+o in game and clicking on one of the click to edit boxes. All you have to do is name it the same name as the proc you want to track. It does not have to have any steps in it. Then drag it to hotbar 10 and it will be one of the abilities tracked by the spelltimer portion of the maintained window.

Thanks so much!!!

When you load the current version of the file eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml from the auto-updater into Firefox, you get an XML parsing error. According to the error message, the file is not well-formed because of a missing space character at line 320 col 117, between the Font value and the Name key:

... Font="/TextStyles.Normal.NormalStyle"Name="Value_AbilityMod" ...

Maybe this explains the crashes that people have been experiencing with GU58?

The crashes they were having were because of missing the Mount tab which SOE fixes with an update. Firefox will say profit xml isnt valid because its not using a strict definition since eq2 doesn't. You can put a dozen well formed pages through checkers online in browsers etc and unless the author used 100 percent the dtd for what he wrote in its gonna pop some errors up.

alugilac · #22 10-20-2010, 12:30 PM

For this update regarding the spell timers. Were there coding changes between dragowulfs spell trakcer and yours that were required to allow for procs to be tracked using the macros and placing them on the bar? I'm using the Multi-character spell tracker and it works but making macros and placing them on the bar does not seem to work.

If there is a chunk of code I can transplant from your xml to his that would be great. I much prefer the seperate window for tracked spells over the maintained window its more compact and i can place it in an easy to see location and the only thing it ever shows are the spells that I want to see.

**TalTal** · #23 10-20-2010, 01:53 PM

I did not change anything to allow macro usage. I thought of the idea...tried it...and it worked. As for the hotbar usage the multicharacter version should have it set up that way.

Silat

Edit: Just tested it on live and it did not work on mine either. I tested it literally hundreds of times on test and it worked every time. I'll see if I can figure out the problem and then I'll let you know.

Edit2: Apparently you have to have a ca or spell as a step in the macro...but name the macro the buff name. It will then work.

Elohi · #24 10-20-2010, 03:01 PM

Before the update I was able to have at least 10 (I think) Examine windows open. Now, it's only letting me open 1 when I click a link in the chat box. Sometimes I am able to open more windows when I am examining items out of my bags but not all the time. The 2nd time I open an examine window...it seems like it opens but I don't see it. Then when I right-click the item again - it has a "Close examine" option. Are you aware of this? Is there a fix coming for this? Thanks

I have not modified the examine window at all and am unaware of any changes to it in the default either.

I checked my client and can have examine windows open for multiple linked items without a problem. So I am unable to guess why this is not so for you.
