ProfitUI and Update Sept 23 2009

kenbee · #1 09-23-2009, 09:56 AM

Passing along what I have seen I do not know if this works patching as I post. http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/p...opic_id=459229

The new update breaks ProfitUI, well sorta. Due to changes in the quest journal to add a new feature (achievement tracking ability) using ProfitUI will cause your EQ2 client to crash. After working with it on the test server and doing a little research here is a simple walk around till someone issues a fix.

1. Go to your ProfitUI folder (<your EQ2 main folder\UI\ProfitUI
2. Delete the files eq2ui_journals.xml and eq2ui_journals_quest.xml and leave the active file alone
3. Log into EQ2 and enjoy

These does elimate the ability to click on the Wiki, Zam links to quests in the quest journal window but you will still have the ability using the active quest tracking window.

Hope this helps

The update you can download with the new windows doesnt show the truimph progress and what you have to do to get them... it just shows a blank screen in that window why I went with the deleting the files way.

Also delete this file eq2i_mainhud_achievments.xml

Does this mean there is no support to update Profit for the new GU?

check out the auto updater, it seems to have the fixes in it.

Unfortunately, even though I can see my Achievement amounts, I cannot see what I need to do to accomplish them.

been having an issue since update with the screen blacking out when in lower settings (performance and raid) works great in quality have done the above erasing of files and still nothing.

That is why I wrote the walkthrough you see linked by the OP... if you use the updater it downloads a fix and you can see the achievement window etc but you cant see what needs to be done to get them..

That is why I said to delete the journal files and let it load the content from them from the default UI. Worked for us on test

It's time to move on to a new UI with current updates like Nightfall.

I would like to hear about some active UIs, other than the one listed above.
Know of any good ones?

Saying profit isn't being updated is totally wrong. gm9 stopped and Chrislau picked it up. Hes done a great job a matter of fact the auto updater updated for todays patch the files. Only need to delete the achievments file until Chrislau gets an update. As to why start menu is all unaligned is beyond me cuz that file don't exist in profit folder.

Bottom bar does have an issue in the atk field but sure that will get fixed as well.

The inspect window is not currently working after profit update. Any chance for a fix?

notices that with the latest update the countdown timers on the spell/combat art re-use are no longer appearing. even after using the latest update

I am reading the different things not working or having issues, I will look into fixing them tomorrow, keep in mind I am not a ProfitUI developer and my xml skills can never come close to the skills of GM9 and others who have fixed updates since GM9's departure but I will do what I can to see what I can get working and will post a link to an update file.

cool. However there are files on the auto updater so not sure why people not using that. I'm sure Chris will get to these over next couple days as he did take over the project to the best of my knowledge.

ariven · #18 09-23-2009, 08:33 PM

another quirk is that there is an achievement privacy option that is supposed to be on the persona/options tab that isnt in the update for profit yet.

My EQ2 since GU53, instead, crashes altogether as soon as it logs into the zone. It used to work before I ran Profit Autoupadater so I tend to think the fault lies in there. I tried reinstalling EQ2 but no joy, so I uninstalled, deleted every file and directory and I am now downloading it all again. If this doesn't work I think I will need to find an exorcist.
