I have the new version of the default to mode 5 and mine is working perfect.

The Hubby has the 1.42 version and I am trying to get it so that Mode 2 is default for him. ( OMG he has to click to change it so lazy!) I will gladly go in and edit my self with a little assistance as what I need to change.

Thanks a lot this UI is great and I know a huge project!

Hi, Burdy. It's not currently possible to have different window arrangements for your various alts but it's a good idea, certainly worth looking at for a future version. Turning off the Cure Check feature would be the simplest way to accomplish #3, but if you don't want to do that then #2 can be used to make #3 work like you want. Put

useabilityonplayer %T Cure

into the Command field for each of the four non-curse detrimentals, and you can hit any of them to fire off a cure even if it's not the correct detrimental. If the target is not currently impaired you'll still get a cure since the window doesn't have any way to make the other three detrimentals obey the cure check.

Hi
I recently installed your great UI mod and there are 3 things I'd like to ask:
1. Is it possible to have different window layouts for different characters? Eg, for my tank the 1x5 default style without quick buttons is sufficient, while I like having them on on my healer for quick cross healing and the window in 1x6 layout
2. I defined for Curse Curse a tellchannel command and have smart cure check on. When I click cure curse on somebody in my group without a curse the spell is not cast, but the message is send to the channel. Is it possible, that the tellchannel is only used, when the target actually has a curse (and I'll cast cure curse)?
3. I noticed, that, when somebody eg has a traume effect and I hit the cure elemental field, Cure is not cast. While this of course makes perfect sense, would it be possible to add for people, who are sometimes not capable to click with a mouse on a single icon (people like me), an option, that, if your target has an effect, that all fields will cause Cure to be cast and not only the field of the specific effect?

Hi, Kairha. I'm having a little trouble getting a picture of what you're asking for. By 5x5 default, do you mean Mode 5? If so, the size and shape of the window should stay the same each time you log in. Is this not happening?

I love the 5x5 default! Glad someone asked for it!

My Hubby also uses this but he would like it to default Vertical with cure and heals under each other.

any chance you can tell me how to make it do this?

Thanks in advance appreciate the UI!

There is a zip file containing an updated group window at

http://cid-1a9f936133a0f2d2.skydrive...e.aspx/.Public

that allows Mode 5 to be selected as the default. This is the only change, so if you already have version 1.4 or version 1.42 and you do not need the option to make Mode 5 the default, then you do not need this download. This code change will be incorporated into future group window updates. Thanks to Ebarel for pointing out the missing option.

thx, i will work on it. so far the double-space solved most issues but i fear some update will break it again.

about the default 5, yes there is no switch for defaultlayout.value==5 in the xml so it cant work. hope you can add that.

Darqwood

Thanks to all three of you for your comments.


Ebarel: Yes, you can replace the spell names with the numbers and the utility will create proper XML for you. Open the "Start.html" file using Notepad, and scroll down to the preset spell area, about 165 lines down. Here is an excerpt from the list:

. . .
"Swa|SwarthyD|Swarthy Deception IV|icon_ss9|42,0,84,42||||O||",
"Swa|Assist||icon_ss9|42,126,84,168||||R|assist %T|Assist",
"Tem|VitalInt|Vital Intercession VIII|icon_ss6|210,0,252,42||||O||",
"Tem|Restorat|Restoration VIII|icon_ss14|0,0,42,42||||O||",
"Tem|Meliorat|Meliorate IX|icon_ss6|42,0,84,42||||O||",
. . .

Replace your spell names (blue) with the numbers and save the utility. (If I publish an update in the future, remember to save this file so you can cut-and-paste the numbers into this section again.)

On the question about the group window not holding Mode 5, let me make sure there isn't something missing in the code. Mode 5 was just added in the last update, and setting it as a default may have been overlooked.


gitana: For now the only way to enlarge the UI is to reduce your screen resolution. Of course this may not be desirable because it also affects how much of the game world you can see. With screen resolutions going higher, the UI is getting smaller and smaller and it's hard to come up with an efficient way to enlarge UI pieces. I would really like to see SOE provide a global rendering scale value for the entire UI (defaults at 1.0) and a rendering scale value for each UI piece, so for example you could set your group window at 1.2x without affecting the other windows. Similar to the way the toolbars and inventory bags scale now.


Grauen: This issue was pointed out to me very recently for German clients, and yes you have it exactly right: put two spaces instead of one between the spell name and the level designation. Apparently this makes the spells work again. This may affect other non-English clients besides German. Thanks to you and Taxor for pointing this out.

i really like to know if there its any easy way to made it all bit bigger

TheGrauen

Hi, first of all thanks for this great UI, I like it

But, as i use a german client of EQ2, i always have the following error when I want to use the Defilers "Shields" "Healthcures" and so on:
Usage: /useabilityonplayer [Player] [Ability]

Thx ...

Grauen

@Ebarel
Try to use 2 SPACES bevor die Level (VII), in german I use: "Ahnenwächter#spacespace#VII"

Ebarel

Hi,
first of all, GREAT UI - thx alot for the work!

i just have 2 questions issues:

1) although i put type 5 in the xml file for the layout it always comes up with layout type 4 - dont know what i am doing wrong

2) as a EU user i cant use the spellnames - i have to replace them with the spell numbers to work. where or how could i replace that in the setup program already so i dont have to do everything manually afterwards? (and how can i add a comment so i still know later on what it is )

StarManWild, in late Febuary there were some SOE code tweaks that directly affected custom commands like the ones used in the group window mod. After testing under a variety of conditions, the "usability" commands seem to be working fine so give the custom UI pieces another try and let me know if you are still having trouble.

PS: There is no UI code available to break up a string like charname_servername into pieces, so the workaround code would most likely be too complex to consider. Good point about Battlegrounds, though.

The Group window mod will be updated for Sentinel's Fate within a few days. Thank you for your patience!

Any chance for an update? I got into a raid last night and the click to heal abilities were not working.

Crossing my fingers this will be updated for the xpac, I can't live without it now.
