Zarnyk

Okay Darq,
It is exactly as you have said. After I modified a characters group window customization, I camped out completely and it saved it. I am even able switch to another character without issues.

I also have the same issues as Fireyarcher has proposed. I will also try to delete recommended file and see if that clears it.

Thanks again,

Zarnyk of Crushbone

Good to hear, Zarnyk. Also to you and FieryArcher, I believe the issue with the character stats is corrected. It turned out to be a different issue altogether. Use the updater to get the new file, and let me know if this does not fix the strange behavior of stats and personal notes.

Hello Darqwood,

I deleted the "eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml" file under "I:\Sony Online Entertainment\EverQuest II\UI\EQ2Interface" and restarted the game.

The situation is same as before, except that there is only "Biography" notes, no "My Notes/Shared Notes" (I guess it is normal as it is now a SOE Persona window). The scroll bar/mouse wheel issue still exists.

I then run DarqUI Live 1.00.1 which created a new Persona xml file under the custom UI folder. I restarted the game, now the issue is gone, the persona windows (and the scroll bar) is back to normal.

It is a marvellous job Darqwood, thank you so much.

Thanks again.

Hi Darkwood,

would it be possible to integrate Drums Spell Timer (http://www.eq2interface.com/download...pellTimer.html) into your UI as well (or similar functionality)?

If in add Drums spell timer to yours then then the layout of the save action of the UI settings gets garbled.

Futhermore, it would be great if I could disable the "Darq UI Settings" button on some/most Windows (currently I sometimes click them in the heat of the fight)?

Cheers,
Nodor

I can't get into the business of supporting other authors' pieces, but you should be able to add the DrumsUI spell timer into DarqUI. Try setting it up completely using the DrumsUI interface, then copy the window and the eq2ui_custom.xml into the DarqUI folder, then copy the configuration file(s) from one POI folder to the other.

The DarqUI Live Prestige Stack Monitor has two slots that monitor maintained spells similar to the other spell timer mods. It shows icons, ward amounts, timers, etc., but not the target of the spell (tooltip will show this). I'll spend some time during the holidays to see if I can get the Stack Monitor more compatible with what you are looking for.

I like your idea of making the blue gem buttons optional since you can get to the window manager from many places in the UI. I'll look at that, but in the meantime you can get rid of the blue gem icon by deleting it from any XML file that contains it. In Notepad, search for Name="WindowManager" and delete the entire icon line.

When my new Channeler hits level 15, I have a Conduit Hotbar and a Dissonance Status Bar pop up automatically. However, the size of the two bars are very large and the resizing seems not to be saved.

So I modify the UI spec file "<server name>_<character name>_eq2_uisettings.xml" as follows:-

For Conduit Hotbar:
-------------------
<Window Name="Channeler" alignment="7" alignment_offset="5,87" backdrop_mo_o="0" backdrop_n_o="0" frame_mo_o="0" frame_n_o="0" locked="true" size="419,40" visible="true" window_style="1">
<Properties icon_padding="1" icon_size="30" show_graphics="true" version="1" />
</Window>

note: the size I choose matches that of the icons in my other Hotbars.

For Dissonance Status Bar:
--------------------------
<Window Name="Dissonance" alignment="7" alignment_offset="0,51" locked="true" size="280,15" visible="true" />

It works. I hope this may help players to organize their Channeler's specific bars until the updating is fixed.

Regards.

I'm having trouble with the mercenary tab persona window being empty.
Can't resurect merc when this tab is empty

Anyone have a solution ?

Darqwood

FieryArcher: This solution works well and I'm sure there are Channelers who will make good use of the information. Some notes: you only need to change the icon_size value, not the hotbar size. Because the window frame conforms to whatever the icon size is set to, it will be adjusted automatically the first time you stretch the window in-game. Also, the show_graphics value can optionally be set to false which will hide the ornate grab handle on the right-hand side of the hotbar, if that is preferred.

The DarqUI Live Dissonance bar is already resizable, but your settings file shows you have it locked, so you may not have noticed.



jrhansen: Version 1.000 will have a blank Mercenary tab since it pre-dates the changes from the TOV expansion. Try re-downloading the new version 1.001 from the red Download button at the top of this page. Also, use the updater app (included with the download) to check for updates. Post back here if your Mercenary tab is still empty.

With the above modification to the uisettings.xml file, I was able to resize the Dissonance Bar and the Conduit Bar. However now there appear three new color bars within the Dissonance Bar, a orange bar, a green and a yellow, they seem to be misaligned and extend out to the right hand side of the Dissonance Bar.

I searched the uisettings.xml file trying to find out the settings for these color bars but to no avail.

Hi Darqwood, grateful if you could point me to a solution, thanks.

Regards.

Darqwood

The graphics file containing the Dissonance window was changed this week. Use the updater app to get the new files. Your modification of the uisettings file did not break anything.

First off, been using Darqui for awhile now and I love it, thanks for making a great UI. I recently found a need to use the tell lines in the group window manager. However I'm having a problem getting it to report the current target. I'd like to do a group tell like "curing curse on playername" but when I use %T it won't work. I tried TNAME as well with no success though I expected this since the directions say not to sure. I searched around but could not find what should I be using to do this?


I'm also having trouble organizing the group window itself. I'd like to list the player names in a 2x3 window (2 rows and 3 columns). Instead it likes to put group player 4 in the 2nd column and not the first, not matter how much room I give it. It seems to work when I remove my name from the window but I need it there for the quick spell icons. Anybody help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!


Thank you,

Mag

OK I can use the command line to go a group say and TNAME works just fine. I must of botched something the first time I tried, it was very late.

Darqwood

The Group window does not show groupmember 0 (self) by default. Much of the information is pulled together by modders to give a similar appearance to the other group members, even though the data for self is not provided in the same way as members 1 through 6. The default cascading behavior does not expect to find groupmember 0 in the window, and it is hard-coded in a way that is extremely tough for modders to break when adding the extra tile. So in most cases the modder will simply force an all-horizontal or all-vertical layout with no cascading at all.

The DarqUI Live Group window was coded to allow the default cascading behavior while also optionally showing groupmember 0 in the various layouts. The trade-off is that the groupmember 0 tile will be stuck out on the left by itself if you stretch the window horizontally. It was the best I could do to give the most flexibility possible to the window.

What I did in my group window was check the window size with the OnSize property, and re-align GroupMember1 either below or to the right of GroupMember0 with some simple checks (window height/width). This can limit the possibility of a 2x3 or 3x2 grid, but it allows you have a straight horizontal or vertical layout within one file.

Hi Darq,

First of all - two thumbs up for this wonderful piece of work, it's amazing and I'm really happy having been curious enough to try it out.

Anyway, I'd still have something to add to the wish list

Could it be possible to make the bottom bar more configurable, e.g. editing single entries within the bars? Up to now I only found the combat stats to be configurable - but I'd also like to change / shuffle content of the other bars....
And: I'd love to have a percentage be shown within the XP bars... and not only points left to next level

Thank you very much!!!
