I figured out what was wrong. XML is very particular, and editing it using Windows Notepad can break the code, even if you type the code in exactly and save it properly. Download Notepad++ to edit these xml files for your own spell buffs. You'll have to start with the clean, freshly downloaded files before attempting to edit them, as yours are most certainly already corrupted by editing with Windows Notepad (as were mine).

If ProfitUI sees any corruption in any file it will automatically load the default UI. The references in the custom.xml weren't corrupt; rather, it was the external files those entires referred to.

The listed custom XML file doesn't even include a listing for my mod and is thus probably a "working" file. Since it doesn't include my mod and there is nothing wrong with the file, I cannot possibly say anything to fix it. I don't use ProfitUI, so I can't really say anything other than by screenshots in the mod's addon section, some people got it to work properly.

Can anyone address this? I'm having the same issues, except that changing the xml filenames and corresponding entires in the <include> statements don't allow ProfitUI to work at all. The entire thing worked when I first edited it, but then the UI "broke" upon relaunch of EQ2. Repaired itself when I took out the offending lines of code (but Mama wants her buff macros!).

The file encoding is specified by the first line of the XML document... usually "utf-8". If you think that changing the file encoding will help, go ahead... but most modders that know what they're talking about think it's impossible.

I have no way of testing this as I play on US servers with no spell names with anything more exotic than an apostrophe character. aka ' aka &apos;

I might set up the next version with subclass detection to use external definition files. Instead of having one file with 24 different sections, you can just make an addon file to place in the same folder. Should be easy to detect if the external file exists or not assuming EQ2 doesn't crash.

I think it might only be an issue for bards where they have such a large amount of possible buffs. I was also trying to include abilities from AA's as well. I'll probably do a couple more classes when I get the chance.

It doesn't work for a simple reason : the UI screw all non iso, like é,à,è,ù, etc ... and replace it by a little square. (i have the problem when researching collectings on the broker).
So the spell appear like that : A*golisme and is not matchable by the mod

Perhaps a clue on using a different iso coding ?

Ho ho I try something on storm server

is you entrer the french name it's work
Try /useability Bénédictions and
/useabilityonplayer Ygrenis Aégolisme

So we just need to put the name in french and see if é è .... work or not

Hello Aditu

First a great thank for your great job for the EQ2 community

I'm a templar on Storms (French) server and i'd love to have this mod work properly, but, like on german server, the script stops after 1st buff.

The reason, after multiple tests, is due to 2 differences :

In the maintained window, the local name for each spell is different from the name to use in macros.
We use in France some accentuated caracters like "é" or "à" in the translated version

For example :

"Virtue" is translated in "Mérite"
"Aegolism" is "Aégolisme"
Etc ...

Macros, on French server, use the english name for the "useability" command, so can we make an xml command or correspondance table to establish a link ?

The target, after correction, works fine.
(I play with the cl_language English, using ACT, and the Fetish UI)

I know French localisation is complex, but i hope
And many mods are bugged by this problem.

I am having trouble getting this to work for me. I am using ProfitUI, whenever I edit the eq2ui_custom.xml and add <Include>eq2ui_custom_clickbuff.xml</Include>

It breaks the ProfitUI, so it doesn't work at all. Take out the line, and profitui runs without a hitch. The eq2ui_custom.xml looks as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Page IgnoreTab="false" ismodule="true" Name="Custom" PackSize="1,1" PackSizeProp="0002/0003,0002/0003" ScrollExtent="1024,768" Size="1024,768" Visible="false">
<include>_ProfitUI_SubClassDetector.xml</include>
<include>_ProfitUI_QuickRaidButtons.txt</include>
<include>_ProfitUI_CuresCode.xml</include>
<include>_ProfitUI_StandardSearches.txt</include>
<include>_ProfitUI_InventoryColorSettings.txt</include>
<include>_ProfitUI_MiscSettings.txt</include>
<include>_ProfitUI_SoundControls.xml</include>
<include>_ProfitUI_VideoControls.xml</include>
<include>_ProfitUI_ControlCenter.xml</include>
<include>_ProfitUI_Timer.xml</include>
<include>_ProfitUI_BottomBar.xml</include>
<include>_ProfitUI_InfoCenter.xml</include>
<include>_ProfitUI_AutoAttackCalc.xml</include>
</Page>
<Namespace Name="ProfitUI_Styles">
<include>_ProfitUI_Styles.xml</include>
</Namespace>

It seems that it breaks if whatever you include, doesnt have _ProfitUI_ before it, so I can add it to the custom.xml by putting the _ProfitUI_ before the file and it runs no problem. However, then I can't figure out how to then call it with the show.window command. Any suggestions? or those that got it to work for ProfitUI mind telling me what they did?

Thanks

Well, now that I think about it... I suppose it would be possible to have a different spell set for every single class all in one file. Originally I did not because I had no idea what buffs every class buffs. Of course slippery went ahead and compiled some lists of several classes already.

Since there seems to be people interested in doing that much research, I certainly could make one file that switched depending on your class. In fact, I suppose I could have it switch using EQ2 commands as well. Different specs as it were.

Which reminds me... I was somewhat surprised by how easily slippery filled all 20 buff slots for each file. Do I need to increase it to 30 spells or something?

For anyone that has the problem I had, it was a case sensitivity problem. I was doing /show_window Custom.Clickbuff and was getting the problem, as soon as I did /show_window Custom.ClickBuff it was fine.

EQAditu

If the Custom Text textbox is not showing along with the text labels as you descrbe, then you probably put the include line someplace weird. Every time the window appears, it should try to repopulate the labels. I cannot imagine what you did to only break it half way though. I can't reproduce it.

slippery

I'm using Profit, the window shows up, the checkboxes show up, the button is there, but there is no text. The window even works if preconfigured right (as in I can hit the button and it casts all my buffs) but I can't see the names.

Nice work! I'll be testing this baby.
