SOEmote changes

tknarr · #1 08-03-2012, 12:28 AM

I've seen some tenative UI elements for SOEmote on Test, but today when I patched in and diffed with live the only differences were in eq2_poi.xml, and most of those were localization tags being added. Profit doesn't mod that file, so I don't think there's going to be anything needed there. What bothers me is that I saw changes to the socials window and some others that Profit does mod, and now I don't see any trace of that. It's scheduled for August 7th, so I figured I'd give a heads-up here that if I can't see the new UI files on Test I won't be able to even tell what in Profit needs updated let alone start doing the updates until after it goes live. You Have Been Warned.

Question: it looks like SOEmote's going to include image elements in the group window to show the camera feed from group members. That'll probably also include the raid window. I'm imagining these'll be fairly large, if they were the size of say the cure icons or even the height of a single entry in the group window it'd make it pretty hard to see a face in there which'd kind of defeat the point. I'm thinking that if that's the case there'll be a significant portion of the userbase who won't want those elements there just because it'll take up too much screen real-estate. Feelings on this?

hi. my group window is messed up since patch.

Getting in to game to check now. The diffs indicate that other than the new element for the face there's no significant changes to the group window, and that's the only window that Profit mods that changed.

Added: Quick check shows the group window not doing anything unexpected. Cures work, QRBs work, the only thing is that hiding and showing the portraits is a no-op. What I'd suggest if you're still having problems is delete UI/ProfitUI/eq2ui_mainhud_groupmembers.xml and re-run the updater, then go in to the EQ2 game directory and delete the "logincache-us" and "cache" and try re-running the launchpad.

Group window is definitely jacked up. Every person using profit with the group in a vertical position in my guild needed to "stretch" their window out as it cut the 6th persons name in half. This made the window about 3/4 inch taller then it was yesterday.

Something most certainly changed.

Yeah, seeing a bunch of problems with the group window now that I'm running it with a full group. Looks like all size/position issues with elements being hidden. I'll have a fix up by tomorrow.
