Goldi Startbutton *Official* Thread

[Goldi]

Yuo can copy and paste any information into the notes part of my startbutton

Check the Notes sub-folder, to learn how

[Vblackwolf]

I love this mod. Its so helpful and convenient. Thanks for drumming it up, Goldi! The only suggestion I would have would be to add the Uncommons to the Harvest Information. (I get asked that question a LOT.) As of now, they are in my notes section thanks to the ability to edit those.

[Goldi]

Hi Black, thanks a lot for your words

I wonder if you could PM me those uncommons?

I can work on a new version adding it to the window

[Apostrophe]

*EDIT*

Found the fix after remembering a similar issue. QuickArial Complete solved it. It can be found here:

*END EDIT*

Goldi, great work, I love this button! I'm having an odd little problem now, though. After LU#11, I updated my Fetish Nightfall so I'd have the new skills window. Of course, this meant i had to reinstall your start button. I logged in after the Fetish update and everything was working great. Logged out, redownloaded (because i couldn't find where I'd put the original zip) and installed your start button, and logged back in. The button was there, worked fine, but when i opened the Skills window, the text for the names of the skills was missing. Going back to regular Fetish Nightfall fixed it.

Of note... I follwed your instructions exactly and did NOT copy over the Arial font file. I tried again, coping over the font file to see if that fixed it and it did not. This sure sounds/looks like a corrupt or missing font file to me, but for the life of me, i can't find what i need to do to get it to work. I miss your start button! Anyone have a fix for this issue? (By the way, my hubby had the exact same issue.)

This is probly in the wrong forum. I searched around for 2 hours with no avail.
Im new to EQ's ui dealings.

I love this Goldi mod. the full one.

The one thing I really want to remove is the bottom Stat bar.
Its long and just obtrusive to me.

I would rather hit "I" and look at my stats there. So what file do i delete to get rid of this stat bar at the bottom of the screen?

thanks a ton.

[Goldi]

To remove the bottom stat strip, just delete or rename the file "eq2ui_mouseovericons.xml" from the Goldi UI folder

[wallofchaos]

Thank you so much.. I thought I had tried this before and it didnt work but it did this time. so Yes thanks a ton
This really is one of the nicest UI's there is.. thanks for the great work.

[Ashling]

love this start button but having the same problem apostrophe was where my skills window doesnt work anymore...tried installing quickarial, but it didnt seem to work :/ anyone have any advice? i miss my start button!

[Goldi]

Hi Ashling

Download my latest full UI (Goldi MMM), for a fix on the Skills window and much more fixes

And remember, anything u need, just lemme know and i will see what i can do!

[Ashling]

EQ2 doesnt love me dl'd your complete mod and was using it fine till the day after live 12 and now I cant stay in game for even 10 seconds before it crash's :/ my back up ui works just fine (it has goldi's target windows, but not the start button or anything else) Is anyone else having a problem with this?

[Moha]

i have the full Goldi UI running after LU12 and it works fine... maybe deleding your whole UI folder and downloading the complete UI mod again would help ?

[Moha]

First of - I love your mod Goldi

Is there a way to remove the icons/hints on the maps ? I prefer exploring by myself and would like a "clean" map So far deleding various map files by myself just crashed EQ2

[Ashling]

yay it works! i re-dl'd it, and then added the changes I want one at a time (leaving out 2...which i think one of them was causeing the problem) and now i have a nifty ui again! very awsome work i love it

[trigget4k]

Hey goldi, I installed your start button mod and when I start the game it's in a rectangle near the top left. Once It starts loading it just crashes.. do you know how I can fix this?

[Kriil]

Edited: Nevermind forgot to change .xml file

[Gumba]

I wanted to play around a bit with the Harvest window, to see whether I could fix some font display issues I have on my system with it, and learn about UIBuilder in the process.

I load eq2ui.xml, and go to MainHud, then Harvesting. All I see in the WYSIWIG design portion of UIBuilder, however, is the outline of the Harvest window, no contents. I tried this with the Startbutton files as-is as well as with the Startbutton integrated into Fetish.

What am I missing here? Did you use UIBuilder to design the Harvesting window, Goldi?

[Gumba]

I have reworked the harvest window with T6 info, and cleaned up some of the formatting. Provided the moderators approve it, it should show up for download shortly.

[GraveyardMephit]

after adding this to fetish, i lost all text on in the persona window. the timers also have no test (ie the breath bar has the bar, but no 'breath' text')
-------

helps if i read the instructions and pay attention to whats overwriting what.

[Goldi]

This is awsome Gumba, can i use it in the next release of my UI?

[merneith]

Ok - I'm obviously doing this wrong.

1) I have a working install of Fetish Nightshade 4.6
2) I copy the start button files into the Fetish folder, overwriting when necessary except for eq2ui.xml & eq2ui_mainhud.xml
3) I edite the eq2ui_mainhud.xml & eq2.xml files as told

The result works - except I've lost the Fetish Nightshade backgrounds. Everything, start button & the rest of it, are in the standard brown & gold.

So what did I do wrong there, please? I appreciate any help you can give me!

Yeah. It's not really obvious how to get it into current Fetish releases. This will work for any current and future releases, or nearly surely so. I know it works for 4.6.

Goldilocks Startbutton
○ Unpack into Fetish directory. Do not overwrite anything.
○ Grab eq2ui_mainhud_startbutton.xml and replace the Fetish one
○ Edit eq2ui_mainhud.xml. At end of file, before </Page>, add:
<include>eq2ui_harvest.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_mainhud_notes.xml</include>

You can also replace eq2ui_harvest.xml with my version to get T6 info.

[merneith]

thanks Gumba! That did the trick. The start button and your harvesting info look grand.

[Gumba]

Merneith,

glad to hear it. For the lazy people like you and me , I just uploaded an addon to Fetish Nightfall that is simply Goldi's StartButton with all the files, and just the files, needed to make it work in Fetish 4.7. Unpack and you're done.

Goldi,

I updated the Harvest window one more time, adding Uncommon (Glowing, Sparkling, &c) info. Done now with screwing around with your Harvest window, I promise

I had another question for you though: Do you plan on adding Manastone management and maybe quick-usable-slot management (hex dolls, other stuff) to your startbutton? If not, I may look into ripping those components out of Jaxel and Franken-Pasting them into your work .

[Steppin]

lol while you're at it, try to include shaders if you would please !!
