Delete eq2ui_mainhud_character.xml

Im not sure if its the cause, but I noticed after zoning out of the arena that my hotbars went back to the normalish white border/bright picture kind instead of the profit ones. Any cures?

*I tried reimporting the .ini included in the setup, but to no avail.
*also tried reintalling the entire UI

My hotbuttons are all over the place instead of being centered within the UI and there is only 9 buttons per row. Anything that can be done about this?

select window settings of the hotkeys, enable frame and then size the bar to your needs.

EXP display fault
 

No matter what type of exp I select, and if I run in 1024 or 1280, the number displays of experience and vitality are not showing properly. The numbers are getting cut off on the right side of both, and resizing doesn't seem to help.

:mad:

Otherwise, I'm loving the UI! :)

There's still an issue with the new small sans serif font...selecting it overrides the fonts for the experience bar (the two included in the package), making it appear as if they're not installed.

OK... then how do I fix it? I didn't select anything, just did the cut and paste into the proper directories, and used the included server_charname settings file for my resolution.

:confused:

did u install the 2 font files included with the Profit_17c.zip INTO YOUR: C:\Windows\Fonts Folder?

if so... and are still having a problem

INGAME -> Options -> User Interface -> Game Windows -> turn smooth fonts off, turn off Use small sans serif font

Yup, and after installing the fonts you normally have to reboot the system.

Harvest Window confussion!
 

I added the line as well. Still no Harvest window. Did a bit of snooping around in the eq2ui_mainhud_startbutton.xml (snooping is as far as I go, I don't know what the heck half that stuff is for) :D And I noticed that it is pointing to MainHUD.Harvesting :eek: Yet the file for the harvest window is eq2ui_mainhud_harvest.xml. And the line you said to add was
<include>eq2ui_mainhud_harvest.xml</include> Now I'll admit I'm an extreme novice at this stuff. But shouldn't they be the same thing??

Well I did some tweaking and found that after adding that line to the Eq2ui.xml

that the buttion still dont work :c(

but.. i also found that typing /show_window mainhud.harvesting does open the window (a black window with no font or text or color or images but it is the right size as the old one and the tool tips work) i'm still playing around wif it i'll post further about it later....

----Later----Not By Much----

Ok, I found out a couple more things.... You dont need the line in the eq2ui.xml.... and that there is really nothing wrong wif the start buttion.... the main problem is the eq2ui_mainhud_harvest.xml.... i renamed it to _info.xml and then reloaded game after removing the line from the eq2ui.xml and clicked on the buttion and Poof the black window comes up... hit it again it goes away... hrmm i say to my self... ok... i name it back to harvest.xml and reloaded the game again... hittting the buttion... nothing happens... hrmm... ok... i readded the line into Eq2ui.xml... reloaded the game.... and hit the buttion... nothing... so... i renamed the file again reloaded the game hit the buttion.... black window pops up with no info.... so... with and with out the line doesn't matter really.... but with the file named _harvest.xml nothing happens but if the file isn't there it works.... i dont know if there is any more i can do the origonal maker of the window would be best at figuring out why it wont come up

Thanks for the heads up on the fonts gentlemen. I'd completely spaced that, though I noticed that they were there and remember thinking to myself that it was cool you'd included them. LOL :o

There any way to have that manastone thing work standalone? Besides the text files and onscreenmessage.xml, what else is needed?

Add the profit_styles and quickbar files to the eq2ui.ini file, you will also need to manually type /show_window mainhud.quickbar

Have been using your skin for a good while, I really like it, well done :)

Can you maybe check into why when you die and revive at revive location the screen stays on the loading ui resources loading screen, but yet you can hear stuff going on around you.... there is no way out except to click the exit button in the bottom left corner. This has happened to the other 5 guildmates i have using this interface..
This only started occuring with 1.7c

This loading thing on dying...I am not sure if it is totally Profit UI related. I had the same trouble 2 days ago. I haven't had it since in the last days. I am not sure if it is EQ2 issue.
I have been using the C release of Profit since DoF release. I only had this death and loading UI issue for the one day. It's been totally stable recently, have died and reloaded the zone just fine.
What zone were you in when you had this trouble. I believe all my troubles occured in Nektulos.

Thundering Steppes, Enchanted Lands, Feerrott, Lavastorm.

It's a common problem - not UI related or death related - just zoning in general. I've never had it, but I've read many others experiencing this problem. :(

Manastone.txt
 

Any chance we can have the Manastone.txt file linked or the contents pasted. It seems to bw missing from the zip of 1.7a-c.

Also, I may just be a bit of a perfectionist, but the foreground color and location for slot 1 and 2 are not consistant with the rest of the slots in the 50%.eq2ui_mainhud_hotkey.xml file. It makes them a different color and ofset by a pixel -1,-1

ooops! I will look into that.

I deleted your quickbar file because all the stuff is on the startbar I use. I also went to the mainhud.xml file and deleted the quick bar from there. Now I get a black box where the quick bar used to be. I tried /hide_window Mainhud.quickbar but its only a temp fix. Any permanent way to lose this window?

I force it open - you will have to edit the OnShow event of the eq2ui_mainhud_experience.xml file.

show_window=Mainhud.Memorized show_window=Mainhud.Memorized
show_window=Mainhud.QuickBar show_window=Mainhud.QuickBar


Memorized is the lower opaque window
Quickbar is the manastone/ring window

Harvest Info.
 

Outstanding UI Profit, but I am also having the harvest window issues. I've read thru this thread in hopes of fixing it, but I haven't seen anything that would help. It's not a priority, but when ya get to it, the harvest window would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for a great UI.

everything works great, except the harvest info window :(

LOVE your ui been using it for a month now and let me tell you that lu13 was he smothest us response ive seen i had accually gone back to default for a while cause of issues i was having with the patches anyways now that im done praising your work :nana: :nana: :nana: :nana:


in recomendation can we get an lfg button in the group window i figure you can drop it on the bottom right corner like the drag buttines you have upper left only thing i think i miss lol :) every thing else i love especially the quick bar

I just installed your UI and I like it very much. There is just one thing that I miss from my previous UI and that is the right-click functionality on the target window (tell, inspect, invite, etc).

Is there any chance you could add that in a future release?

Hey Profit. Loving your UI but I've encounted a few problems with it.

How do I get the manastone charger to work? I can't seem to get it to work (although putting it in the first slot allows me to click the horse whistle and activate it)

Also, as you can see in my attached picture, I use two windows for chatting,but I seem to be missing something on the top line (look at the overflow from the top of the chat box on the left) What can I do to fix it?

Also, my bottom resists seem a little erm... out of synch? No clue as to what to do there either.

Thanks so much for making this awesome mod! :)

Wow, what a mess.

Please start by using the included uisettings file, this will perfectly align all the windows and also give you are dark area below - thus not needing to darken your chat windows and seeing the odd dark backgrounds.

Also, try turning Smooth fonts off - this UI was never intended to use font smoothing.

To get the clock up press ALT+C

I would also suggest using the default will enable the manastone message to reappear.

If the rings/manastone/whistle are not performing the correct command, either swap them in your inventory or edit the manastone.txt, horse.txt etc. files.

I think I may have forgot to included manastone.txt in the last update, so I've attached it here.

Is there a way to stop just the quickbar from loading? I tried just deleting the show_window=Mainhud.QuickBar show_window=Mainhud.QuickBar line but it is still there every time I log in. If I delete any more than that I start loosing the stuff I want to keep.

there anyway to take the maintained spell window and reversing it to make it more friendly to the right side of the screen. I run a smaller resolution and i am finding myself filling up the allotted space for spells and theyre going out of view?

Did you check out my 2/3 or 3/4 sized versions of the origonal Profit Maintained effects window? (i am currently making a right hand side version but it isn't gonna look quite right figuring u cant really <right allign> things i dont think... so there is gonna be alot of space between the words and the icons)

Right... EQn00b time....

I swapped the uisettings into the UI folder and also to the main folder, but nothing happened. Am I supposed to put both someplace else?

Where is font smoothing?

default will enable? *blank look* uhh..?

still, thank you for the extremely swift response! :)

smooth fonts are in your options -> User interface -> area i'm not in game atm to know where but its in one of the sub areas in there....

as for the uisettings file... (it comes in a .zip within the main folder of the profit_17c.zip labeled as 1024x768.zip or 1280x768.zip once u unzip it you must rename it.... as follows { My characters name is Geniva and i play on antonia bayle server } so it should be "Antonia Bayle_Geniva_eq2_uisettings.ini") or something similar and it goes directly into the /sony/Everquest II/ folder

in the zip is another zip called 1280x1024 - unzip this and rename the file inside.

i.e. servername_playername_eq2_uisettings.zip to:

everfrost_profit_eq2_uisettings.zip

For font smoothing go to options/user interface/game windows/font smoothing.

Is there any way I could finagle a 75% hotbar mod? Even if someone besides Profit can do it for me that'd be swell :) . I love the zero dead space but the 50% is too small in 1600x1200.

Hi, love the UI so far - just have one weird thing that hopefully someone can help me with.

I had a problem getting the guildchat (or any chat) to work in any of the windows, hitting enter just didn't work. I ended up going into Options and clicking, then unclicking "click through windows" and the chat then worked.

My problem now is that this is happening everytime I log in, so I keep having to do this...I don't really mind doing it, but it would be nice to figure out if I have installed someting incorrectly, or if I can fix this.

Any ideas?

Enable frame and titlebar - that should do it.

Just use someone else's hotbar's!

Yeah, I've tried a few. The ones that actually work with your UI without replacing an image file don't end up taking up less space while still having smaller icons. In case you haven't noticed, there aren't a lot of hotbar mods like yours available...with positively no extra space wasted between or around the icons. Other hotbar mods still have frames around all the icons which creates extra space taken up even though the icon size is reduced a good bit. I just want yours exactly, but a happy medium between the full size and the half size.
