Finding and opening closed windows...

Is there a list of windows we can open using /show_window ?

I am currently unable to open or find the infocenter. The problem here is that I have no idea what to type. A list of things that work with show_window, or a description of how I can figure it out from looking at the files would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

P.S. And yes i did a clean install to a new directory. Yes I did a re-install. No infocenter.

P.P.S. Duh found the answer to the specific question of how to get the infocenter, but the general request for a list or what i need to determine what windows I can open still remains...

Look in your ui directory.

Look for files named eq2ui_<texta>_<textb>.xml

For example, eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml

Pretty much most windows like that you can open using /show_window. But note taht the capitalization is inside the files, its NOT the way that the filenames are capitalized.

For example, /show_window mainhud.persona

Won't work properly. /show_window MainHUD.Persona is the correct syntax, as if you open that file you'll find hte window named Persona, and the category (mainhud) is named MainHUD

Thanks for the clear explanation. Some files, (such as eq2ui_journals_infocenter) there is no mention of the category ("Journals"). In those cases I guess I have to play around with the capitilization (or it's not a window to begin with). In any case I now have something to work with.

Well, for the category names, you have to open the category file...

For example, opening eq2ui_journals.xml (not the lack of a second _ and stuff after it -- that means its the category's root file).

In there are include statements for every file in that category -- if its not included in there, it won't be used by the UI.

Also notice at the top this line:

Code:

<Page ismodule="true" Name="Journals" PackSize="1,1" ScrollExtent="1024,768" Size="1024,768" Visible="false">

Note the Name="Journals"

That gives you the capitalization you need.

If you look at eq2ui_mainhud.xml you'll see
Name="MainHUD"

That gives the proper capitalization for MainHUD =)
