You use it the same way as you would the entire mod except you would only use eq2ui_inventory_loot.xml.
If you already have a custom UI just copy that file into the the directory. If you are using the default UI, go to your everquest directory and open the folder called UI. Inside the UI folder create another folder called anything you want. For the purpose of explanation we'll name this folder custom. Now go back to your everquest directory and open up the file named eq2.ini and add the following two lines if they are not in there. Or modify them if they already are to point to the folder you created earlier:
cl_ui_subdir UI/
cl_ui_skinname custom

Start up EQ and the mod is ready to go.

Im sorry if I hurt your feelings, it was not my intention. However, you could perhaps explain how to use it to just loot?

And you should agree that pressing enter to revive is perhaps a bit overboard? Unless this mod is made for handicapped people who cant use their mouse, then it would be better to use the mouse for this so you dont accidentally split the group up (by someone reviving when not needed). It's happened many times for me, and you as an author can either take my critique in a positive or negative way. I'm just being frank about my experiences with this mod. Good idea in theory, but works bad for me in-game.

If all you wanted was the loot. Then only use the eq2ui_inventory_loot.xml. The mod it's self does everything it was designed to and works perfectly. Because you disagree with the way it functions does not make it worthy of an F. It's comment's like this that discourage interface authors from even bothering submitting their mods for others to use.

Ive downloaded and tested this mod now on friday and saturday, and every time I die (which doesnt happen that often, but still) its of course in the heat of battle. I try to say something to my teammates, and instead I end up with this mod auto clicking revive for me.

Can you please (pretty please) change this so I have to use my mouse to revive? Its a feature that is anti-social and not in accordance with normal teaming. It shouldnt be necessairy for me to have my enter button destroyed like this.

If its not possible, can someone please direct me to a mod that only has enter-to-loot? I dont want all this other stuff.

Mimzel

No offense, really, but this mod is an accident waiting to happen! I just want to press enter to loot - not to join guilds by mistake, or revive, trade or anything else that might happen if Im not careful and the window pops up while Im typing (and pressing enter).

Because of that I give this mod an "F".

heidrickla

PM me your mod and after I look it over I'll add it to the rest.

I made the modifications to the Choice window and it worked. It's the 'general' window used for Yes / No, Ok / Cancel, Find NPC, Destroy / Cancel windows. Found all kinds of popups using that thing. I'm killing stuff now to try to double-check to make sure it's the Lore one also.

I have not added just press enter to the lore item window mainly because I can't find which one it is. If I come across it I will add it. I checked the choice window and I'm pretty sure that's not it.

You can change your default key to press to 'start' chatting, but I myself also have not used Enter to start any chats. I use the / commands because to me it's just easier. I like to slap the enter key quickly when in a big group and lots of mobs are dropping and folks keep looting during battle, I don't want to move my mouse over, just slap the enter and keep fighting works for me.

Thanks for the new windows!!!

**Edit: There's a Yes / No window that pops up when you loot a No-Trade item. It's not currently a press enter one, I don't believe, because when you hit enter on it, it opens another one of it again and again and again. It might be the 'choice' window, but I'm not sure.

I just finished these but have not had a chance to test them, and it's late here but if you want to try them out and let me know if they are working correctly I would appreciate it. I have added the Zoneing, trade, death, and set price windows to the zip.

heidrickla

Unfortunately I have no plan for changing the key, if it can even be done. I have used this method since release and intend on keeping it this way.

heidrickla

You are correct in your reasoning that enter key is not for all. That is why it is part of a seperate upload from a UI. I personally do not use the enter key for chat. Rather I do not have anything set for chat. I use the / key to initiate chat /g /say /emote /ooc you know good ole eq1 style. So this mod is still quite useful for those that do not use enter. the / key is less of a stretch for the ole pinky anyways

heidrickla

As I get time I will do for all windows I find that would benifit from it, and will be included in this set.

Buthurx

maybe make it a different key? not enter which is used frequently for chat...
maybe make it like Ctrl or the - key on the number pad

and the first time you try to type something as someone loots a chest and you push enter on a fabled no-trade item you cant use but someone in your group could you will regret this feature..this is the one feature I delete from the custom ui's I use.
