I had a feeling it was a default UI issue, as I remember reading that originally would always crash when toggling the "Show Text" feature...and then they "fixed" it. But it hasn't been fully fixed quite yet.

Yeah best bet is hope for some developer attention on this one, as I don't think there is anything we can do from the UI end.

Sorry again about that, I just recently updated Drums so I assumed that was it. =/

In the meantime, I just went through all my character's xml settings files and manually changed "show text" for the maintained windows from true to false.

Latest Release
 

Updated a week or so back. Looks great, thanks for all your hard work! Side cures work fine, thanks for incorporating subclass into the group and raid windows. Hope you have a happy holiday season!

I think I finally nailed down the problem with the tradeskill's prepare page being skipped when you don't want it to be skipped. Also I found a bug when the Create button wouldn't show up when hitting the cancel button in the prepare page.

Both fixes will be in the next update... which should be tomorrow or Tuesday.

Raid window doesn't display subclass info
 

Group window displays it just fine, but I can't seem to get the subclass name to display in the raid window at all.

Regards...

Actually I haven't added the subclass name to the raid window. You may have misread one of my patch notes about that, sorry :o

I didn't think the subclass text would be as useful in the raid window with the archetype icons already present. Thoughts on that?

Before updating, save your "/POI/drumsui_textsettings.xml" & "/POI/drumsui_itemnotes.xml" to backup your Quick Button settings!
(If you had any saved from 1.20 or previous)

Be sure to check out the DrumsUI Updater. The updater automatically ignores the drumsui_textsettings.xml & drumsui_itemnotes.xml file if you already have it, so you don't have to worry about overwriting important saved buttons :)

Good point. Perhaps having the subclass in the raid window might be too cluttered. My mistake, since there's a check-box for subclass on the raid window customization pop-up -- I assumed the feature was there.

Regards,

Indeed. And yeah, the Raid and Group windows share the same popup settings window.

Cheers. :D

There is a common theme to this update: Velious changes ;)
Please report any bugs with this update, as it has not been uploaded before Velious has gone live!

Just a note that I will not be updating the Individual download pages until I know that all these files work comfortably with Velious UI changes.

Thanks for the quick update for DoV. I used the DrumsUI updater tool (awesome idea btw) a few times to make sure I wasn't missing files.

I'm having problems with the tradeskill window. I tried opening it while not near a woodworking table and saw "Missing Item Name" and "1185 recipes". I then went to the table and I still get the same thing. I've tried changing my filter to "Unfiltered" thinking that it may be a change in filter design. Still no workie.

Any suggestions?

Same issue here, with the tradeskill window.

Also, how do I pull up the new pet threat meter? Very excited about that...darn pet is always ripping.

Thanks for all your efforts with what is - imo - the best UI in the game!

Same problem here. Sony must have tweaked a file or two without letting the author's know.

Got same problem with tradeskills recipe window

Thanks for keeping us going and the search does work because that is how i been using it for now when doing crafting orders/quests

Noted in my other DoV Updates topic. I will try to get a fix out today. You should however be able to search for a recipe to craft still.

My server was offline until midnight yesterday so I was unable to test UI changes. The journal should be working though.

Post-Velious fixes/updates.

Hopefully simple request..
 

Might it be possible to add an "Initiate Ready Check" button right on the raid interface? I have to find a small area between groups on the side frame of the raid window in order to right click and bring up the option. A button to do so would make it SOOO much easier.

Oh.. one more thing. DarqUI has a feature that will make a sound whenever someone is cursed. This is very handy when running the raid and I need to help keep an eye on who gets curses. Not sure if that would be easy to implement or not but thought I would throw it out there!

I do want to say that I recently switched from Profit and this interface is great. Only thing I really miss is the control panel in profit with the Video/Sound/Nightvision/pethide etc. Small things to deal with for everything else this interface adds.

Thanks for all the work on this!

I posted this in the requests forum, but since I use a good amount of drumsUI peices and am a big fan of your design i thought i would ask you directly as well!

For reference, the request I made in the other forum is linked below and contains more details on the concept.
http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=15422

To summarize it, I was hoping to have a single threat window that shows threat for both the Pet AND the Players Character.

I think that's a pretty good idea, and will probably implement it into my Threat bar.

I look forward to it! Thanks

Excellent interface. Far superior in every way. Thanks for the effort you put into it.

I was thinking how great it would be to have an interface piece that keeps track of the timers for the Ring War and Storm Gorge even when you are not in the zone. I am using Milquetowst Clock and Compass (because I saw that you did some work on it a while back), and in my imagination, I see the 2 timers just below Norrath time and Earth time in the clock window. Of course, even a small window of their own would be great. Is that even possible?

Not easily. If you just find out what hour each one is, you can just remember: IE: Ring War even hours, Storm Gorge odd hours.

Geez. I feel really dumb. Thanks for pointing that out.

New Main Menu window and a few updates/fixes.

New release: Version 1.25

Update Log:
v1.25 - 2011.03.23
- New [MainMenu]: Added a new Main Menu window accessed from the Stat Bar's "Menu" button. Includes buttons to open all DrumsUI windows, as well as several stock options.
- New [Player]: Toggling full Health/Power ranges or individual Health and Power numbers in the window will now save between sessions, and per character.
- New [Threat]: Pet threat is now included, and will dynamically resize the window depending on if your pet has hate or not (or if you even have a pet).
- Update [StatBar]: Melee AE and Strikethrough has been added. Stats slightly rearranged to group melee/casting skills closer together. Block Mod is now next to Avoidance.
- Update [Chat]: Reduced (visually) the space between tabs. The actual width-size of tabs remains the same.
- Update [Pet]: Pet threat bar will change color to Red when the pet has aggro.
- Fix [Player]: If the Playername color gets out of sync when switching between Ranged/Melee autoattack, mousing over the window while out of combat should fix it (unofficial fix for SOE coding).
- Fix [Knowledge]: The close button should no longer vanish if you change the Window Settings for this window.
