This does not happen if I switch between chars on IoR or if i switch between chars on Qeynos. Nor does it happen if were to initially load an IoR char and then load a qeynos char. This only happens if the file eq2ui_mainhud_experience.xml is in my custom gui folder. I have tried removing all other mods with no success. and I have used soe's scan facility to check all original game files.

The above post by Xyrqes has been verified to be the cause of the Crash to Desktop when choosing "Camp to Character Select" and Picking another character to Log In as. Many of the XP Bar mods seem to have code within them that is causing the crash.

I am going to post here what the Old (Broken) Code is, and what the new fixed Code is, for each area that has been changed to fix this.

Within your "eq2ui_mainhud_experience.xml" file find the following lines and change them as directed below.
Old Code:

Code:

<Page actiontype="Experience" BackgroundColor="#00FF00" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="307,596" Name="Experience" PackLocation="center,bottom" PackLocationProp="-205/0001,-172/0001" ScrollExtent="498,73" Size="498,73" UserMovable="true">

Change it to this New Code:

Code:

<Page BackgroundColor="#00FF00" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="307,596" Name="Experience" PackLocation="center,bottom" PackLocationProp="-205/0001,-172/0001" ScrollExtent="498,73" Size="498,73" UserMovable="true">

If you have any of Humudce's XP Bar mods, please re-download them as I have fixed and posted new versions that do not cause the crash anymore. This information has been posted to notify everyone of the issue causing the crash, and to assist the other XP Bar Mods authors in fixing their mods quickly.

LoL Insom...

Actually 8 XP Bars 4 of which had the issues noted above, as they dealt with the Vitality Arrows and Gems (the true problem was with the code with the Vitality). I updated and uploaded all 8 of them as Sony also changed the Adventure level from Gamedata.Self.Level to Gamedata.Self.EffectiveLevel which was changed on all.

Thank god I don't have 38,000 of my own

Itanius · #4 03-22-2005, 12:29 AM

Wow, that's a lot of changes!

Nice work figuring it all out and making a tutorial!

If your using one of Humudce's XP Bar Mods, I have updated all of my Mods to fix the issue. I can not speak for other authors of XP Bar Mods. You will have to check with that author. And this does not happen with the Default and Pryoman's XP Bar mods (Verified they work), and of course my new versions all work.

What XP Bar mod are you using?

verginia · #7 03-22-2005, 08:18 PM

I'm using the TyeJae Steel v2 mod by Aalwein mod and thanks for the fast responce

That mod should be updated now and working fine.

**Drumstix42** · #10 04-06-2005, 02:17 PM

I never noticed this thread before... but I would like to say, back when that patch went through I only had to change the actiontype lines, and it was fine

Duir · #11 05-16-2005, 03:07 AM

I was curious if the referrenced lines being in there are still a problem, because i have found a handfull of UIs whos xp bar .xmls still have the 'broken' lines of code still in them.

This includes, and may not be limited to, the Tyjae and OCD sets.

Deathbane27 · #12 05-16-2005, 03:11 AM

It's actually only some (one?) of the lines that causes the problem. Don't know what it is, but the best way to see whether those mentioned mods are subject to the bug is to test them out.

Laffs · #13 05-16-2005, 06:07 AM

Well for what is worth when they first changed this I just changed the "action types" also and all was fine but as of update #8 I have been getting a bit of a random crash when camp to char screen, Not everytime though.... Also it only seemed to be happening on the UK servers (splitpaw & runnyeye)... So I have backed up though all the exp bars and taken all the mentioned code out.. See what happens I guess lol

krisla · #14 06-21-2006, 12:54 PM

Alot of people asking for mods that allow them to skip the character select screen and log directly onto another alt / toon....

two words....
