Thanks for fixing the issue and I guess my wood elf's were rather shy in being found lol.

Hiya

Well been playing with the UI for a few hours and I am well impressed with what you have done and the amount of time and effort I imagine went into this,it is very well thought out and very smooth.

Only 2 things I have noticed and I am wondering if it would be possible to change theses 2 below :-

1. Could you make the casting bar adjustable it's just way to long,I could prob. find a smaller version from another author but would prefer it to be done by yourself if possible less chance of any crashes ect.

2. The Mini map seems to have a invisible border on the right and top sides of the map so it does not fit flush and there is a 8mm gap just on those 2 sides while the left and bottom sides of the map sit flush,I had this issue before I added EQ2 Maps to the DarqUI folder.I removed the frame and title to none but still doesn't sit flush.

If the mini map can be change you may need to make EQ2maps not override it as Profit had this issue when SOE changed the mini map to include the date and time and what was done was a file called _Skinnable_WindowElementsMini.xml was placed on ignore so when you updated with eq2maps it wouldn't override it.

Heres a screen shot of the mini map which is as close to the right as I can get it.



Would be great if the above could be changed as long as it isn't a major headache for you.

Again very nice and laid out UI

Thanks

Ixoa, thank you. Glad you're up and running and having fun. You can get the mini-map to scoot over to the right edge without changing EQ2MAP, but you need to set a game option first: Go to Options (Alt+O >> User Interface >> Game Windows.) About mid-way down the list is a checkbox for "Allow windows offscreen" that you need to check. Hit the "Advanced" button at the top of the Options window if you don't see this setting listed.

Casting Bar: I can most likely get this to be resizable, my only concern is making sure the error messages ("Interrupted," "Cannot Cast" etc.) aren't cut off when it's shortened. I made it resizable and played a bit last night and everything seems fine, so look for something on the updater in the next few days after I test it just a bit more.

Thanks for the tip about making windows go offscreen ,didn't really think about using that lol.. just been playing the game for close to 7 years and you still learn something new

Thanks for playing around with the casting bar ,will be good if everything works and you can sling it on the updater

Thanks again

Ixoa

Thanks Darq.

The casting bar is spot on and a nice touch with the changing the colour option.

Hi,

I've been using you're UI since it was first released (when it was little more than a bottom bar) and it really is fantastic, it feels really fresh!

I was wondering if you had future plans to mod the map window specifically to further support EQ2maps with custom icons to improve viability with lots of POI's on-screen and blend it into the themes that are currently in DarqUI?

Keep up the good work!

Darqwood

Hello Coolit, thank you for the compliments. I have no plans to do any modding to the EQ2MAP files, although I believe there are some alternative icon packs in the map downloads section. I have no idea whether they are still usable. All of the DarqUI themes have matching frames for the map and mini-map windows, so the map should blend together fairly well with the rest of the interface no matter which theme you choose.

The casting bar is so cool, do you have plan to make a new auto attack bar?
I have to use the one with ProfitUI's, but it is so ugly.
Also, if casting/autoattack bar is separated from the threat window, I think you can shrink the vertical size, or make the hate number larger?

Darqwood

Colddawn, the autoattack bar included in the threat/detrimental window is the only one I offer. I have no plans to add another one.

I am having the same issue as Ixoa, I have 32 toons along with 2 freebloods and a wood elf. Would you like me to send my cache file to you also?

Darqwood

Hi Xfree143, sorry you're having trouble. Check your private messages.

Hey Darq. Seems the message indicates a new version but the old file is still the one that downloads...

Darqwood

Working on it! (Editing the text first before uploading the new utility.)

Okay...i have a Problem now..
Must new install the Game and the UI, download the Config, lets make a Install/Update, set it to default....log in...and nothing changed...
It isnt loading...
My friend make also a clean instal...nothing loadet...

The Ini file is right...but the game loads the default UI...why?
When i see it right i have found an error in the ui.log file...
cant load .xml File

can you help me?

***
I think the new Config Utility (2.2.1.6) is it what make something wrong..
with the 2.2.1.5 we could now install the UI...but when i use the new tool and make some settings with it...or a update...the UI is broke and EQ2 wont load it..
