First off, I LOVE this interface!!! Amazing job, it does all that I want it to do, looks great doing it and is totally functional. Kudos to you for keeping up with it.

Following the update on 9/12 though, I can't get to the character select screen with vert as my default ui. It works in game and if I bypass the character select screen it loads fine. It crashes when I camp and if I try to load into the character select screen at startup. It throws up an error something about D:\test\eq2\game\client\src\NCS2.cpp not being found and causing the client to crash. NCS2 is apparently a window called NCS2Slideshow? At any rate, to test it I switched to the default UI and it loaded right up. Searching the internet I only found one other reference to this error and it is OLD and has to do with the test server.

Anyone else having the same issue? Any suggestions as to a solution would be much appreciated.

Thanks again!

Well here it is, Vert 4.0.. with lots of changes. Sorry to be late posting it but got caught up trying various methods of using /target_previous to try a work around for loosing target with the new buttons.
---------------------------------------------
it is suggested to do a full re-install of this version rather then overwriting 3.8
---------------------------------------------
1) GU38 compatable and working... in the appearance window to see your paperdoll is the same as it always was, a small button in the top right changes the window from stats to paperdoll in case you didn't know before.

2) With gm9's permission we now have the bottom bar from profit, seems a few people wanted it, so we have it... if you don't want this feature delete _profitui_bottombar.xml from the vert directory.

3) Click to cure is here... the new buttons are as follows:
- Group window (5 buttons): Clicking the player name is one button, the
4 possible effects are the other 4.
- Raid window (3 buttons): just 3 normal buttons to the right of
people's names, if you can't see them you might need to resize the
raid window.
- Crafting (1 button): the icon for the status effect during crafting can
be clicked to activate a macro.
All the buttons are linked to a text file in the vert\macros directory, currently if you click one it'll say ingame what file to edit to change it.
While this method does cause you to loose your current target, I felt this was acceptable compared to the ease of use setting up the buttons for the user. If you feel diffrently and would prefer the style everyone else uses where you need to edit xml files and hope it works but keep your target, post about it in the forums.

4) Startmenu finally fixed.. yep no more hiding the button then showing it again to have the full menu show up.

5) entire UI revamped... I went through every window in the game and standardized how it looks, all the buttons, scrollbars, frames, and backgrounds look the same instead of a mixmatch it was in the previous versions.

As always if you feel vert is missing something, or something needs a serious change, post about it in the forum link above (or reply to this post if your reading this in the forums already).

Fixed the choice window, thanks to Othesus for pointing out which UI piece it was.

Ranot

turns out the issue with the overlapping text and choices was not with HUD_Choice.xml at all, but with MainHUD.ReplyDialog.xml so that is fixed now

also fixed is the small effect icons on target and implied target, they were not showing since the window size was locked... on mine as soon as i unlocked the size they appeared, if they don't for you then just resize the window ingame.

A minor fix to dressing room, i missed it during the overhaul so some buttons were wrong in size.

Eagerly awaiting the GU39 release =)

GU 39 stuff added.
Fixed Persona / Options tab, no checkboxes were showing before.

I am wandering if theres anyway you can make some color packs i know this sounds weird but the grey hurts my eyes id love to have a pitch black backgrounds for all the windows =D

I must be missing something...

3. copy the default character.ini file from the mods directory and rename it appropriately if you desire to have a nicely setup UI. Warning doing this will cause you to loose your chat window settings.

Where is the mods directory? I feel like an idiot.

Ranot

There should be a folder off your EQ2 directory -> UI\Vert\VertClassic_Mods\

Vert 4.2 is GU40/RoK compatable assuming no major changes between beta yesterday and the live update today.

Suggest Full removal of older vert and re-install as some files in the old vert are no longer compatable / used with vert 4.2.

I am not sure if this is a issue with the ui or if I just need to re-install, but in the quest window (not journal that you get by pressing j) the title of the quest is overlapping the description.

I really like this ui and think you have done a great job on it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Agros

Ranot

you might need to re-install the UI, i'm ingame right now and checked and it's not doing it on this end.

Ranot

- Fixed mail
- Added scroll bar to achievement window
- Added mortis42's SoD walkthrough to infocenter.

Agros1

Yeah I got it to work now. It must have just got a file skipped or something. Thanks for checking it out though.

Thanks

Ranot, the only issue I could find was the Factions tab of the persona window seems to not have scrolls for faction selections that go beyond the bottom the window (my example of this was from Ro, I couldn't see my high faction in the city.)

Otherwise awesome work on the release man, keep it up =)
