Aslo post the contents of you eq2.ini file.(located inside your main eq2 folder)

Na, you shouldn't have to do any thing with the profit ui, the installer should over write your current eq2.ini. I'll install some other UI's tonight and see if it overwrites every thing like it should, I really didn't test that aspect of the installer.

If you find any thing else post, nothing is to small or u can't be to picky for me, its the little things that make a UI good.

this is what my eq2.ini has in it

cl_ui_skinname eXtreme
cl_ui_subdir UI/
letterbox_frame_visible false
window_allow_offscreen false
only_show_fg_in_letterbox_area false

here is my screen fresh after install i did notice the chat window that is there is the same as the one in profit ui. i choose 1280x1024 witch is my game and computer rez and selected everfrost_whiro_eq2_uisettings.


ok i went and deleted all the profit ui files and even deleted all the text in the everfrost_whiro_uisettings file and deleted the eq2.ini file then reinstalled and still not right this what i get



out of ideas myself no clue what would be causen this now i went and dled profit ui again to make sure i got all the files.

Vinar 09-07-2005 07:27 AM

Installer wont use ui settings file.
 
I would love to try out your UI but when the installer asks me to point to my eq ui settings file it then tells me the file is invalid. I have tried it for every character I have and still no go.

Landiin 09-07-2005 07:35 AM

Oh I see whats up..

1. you are using 1280x1024. At that rez you lose the top chat window because of the limited size.
2. your cl_letter_box_amount is at 0.

add this line to your eq2.ini file at the bottom
cl_letter_box_amount 0.18095

Hmm if the file you are trying to use as ur ui settings file is the standerd name it should work. what .ini files have you tried, type the names of the eq2_uisettings.ini file names here.

For 2.13.0 with hotfix 2:

Looks good, but I miss my green theme (screenshot). When are new themes/colors coming? ;)

EDIT: I see now that it uses the same perdigraphics...can I just use the green one from the colorpack?

All of the windows are too transparent for my tastes. Is there any way to change the default transparency?

BTW, great work.

Also, I use 2 rows of hotkeys above the maintained spells bar (see attached picture below - that is an older picture and the new eq2 button window has the hostile effects on it). Is it possible to get custom 'player' and 'eq2 button/casting bar/breathing bar' windows (just need to be 1 hotbar height taller)? Perhaps you could add the crushing/slashing/piercing resistances in the extra area on the player window instead of having them toggle with the power bar.

These would be for the new 2.13.0 UI.

Thanks.

Baronken 09-07-2005 11:26 AM

The installer:
At the end, it has checkboxes for Run eXtremeUI and for Show Readme.

What does Run eXtremeUI do? I tried it both checked and unchecked and didn't notice anything different.

oooo I also use 2 different rows of hot keys like the above quote specifies. Also, as someone else mentioned - I would love some kind of a fix to change the colors easily... There is only one thing I didn't like on the new UI.. I run at the 1280x1024 I believe, and I dont have the 2nd chat window on the top - I really really miss it! :( Anyway we can re-add it or something... lol

Anyways, love the work you have done on the UI.

As stated in the install and the release notes on this thrid, this update is for LU13/DoF release, thus some windows will not work 100% on live servers. After LU13/DoF release every one will be a patron so there is no need for a make patron button.

Witch disband? disband a group member or disband from the group? There is 5 of each, need to know what one don't work.

For now yes you can use the perdigraphics in the colorpack. Next release no U won't be able to. I am redoing the skin because of miss sizes in target tray area. I'll try to make a new skin for each skin in the color pack but it'll take time.

If you have back drops full on then no thats as none transparent as they'll get. I'll be release new themes later after most bugs are gone.

Yes, In the addon there is a 25 skin pack you can down load. Just switch the one you like for the perdigraphic.dds file in the image directory.

As for the adding of a 2nd chat window; right click in the current chat window, select open new chat window, then slide it into place.

Gravdigr 09-07-2005 06:21 PM

It may be because I'm thick, but I cannot get the implied target window to appear. I have it set to a button in options but it won't appear...maybe it's buried under something.

Press ALT + t a few times, and both target and implied target will pop up there.

However, I've noticed that they wont stay. They will autohide as soon as those windows has been used once.

Kromulis 09-07-2005 07:59 PM

Why isn't there a setting for 1600x1200? The only one you have is 1600 x 1024. I know people mostly would play 1280 X1024 or 1600 x 1200 but 1600 x 1024 is not a normal standard. Can you include 1600x1200 in your next version?

beowulf_of_wa 09-07-2005 08:07 PM

i don't think anyone else has mentioned this,, but i could be wrong.

anyhow, when trying to resize/move chat windows, i've noticed that you can't from the right edge, extending about 1/8th of the width of the box.

also, what happened to the "close this window" menu option in the right click commands? gee, for some odd reason i dislike having 4 extra chat windows i dunno how to kill open on my screen.

thanks

Did you use your own ui_settings.ini file? If not it should be just over the target window. According to what you have cl_letter_box_amount set it, it could be under the target window. Do /show_window MainHud.impliedtarget , if it isn't showing now, do /cl_letter_box_amount 0.18095 . Yes I should of forced eq to use that setting in the eq2.ini file:/ I'll have it in there in the next release.

bakes 09-07-2005 09:43 PM

there is also a problem with the maintained effects window.. If you go over where it goes to smaller icons and add more buffs they wont reappear its like limited to only 15ish and not inifinate like b4

PilotMan 09-07-2005 09:54 PM

For the life of me I can NOT get the installer to install.

I keep getting "Please select a valid eq2_uisettings.ini file" After I have selected the only one available (Antonia Bayle_Pilotman_eq2_uisettings.ini).

My video settings match the option I have selected 1600x1024.

Can anybody help me by telling what I am doing wrong?

Hmm if the file you are trying to use as ur ui settings file is the standerd name it should work. what .ini files have you tried, type the names of the eq2_uisettings.ini file names here.

Here are the names of the files I was trying to point the intsaller too.

lucan dlere_boneyak_eq2_uisettings

lucan dlere_newt_eq2_uisettings

lucan dlere_tetra_eq2_uisettings

lucan dlere_mileena_eq2_uisettings

and many more tried all mt characters and it would say it was an invalid .ini file.

Bags awry
 
Been swapping back between Laff's Alt Perdition UI and yours and I can't make up my mind which I like better .. I do like the vertical health guages of Laffs but yours is better in other aspects..

But your bags aren't showing properly .. the last bag is always a horizonal layout and can't seem to change it .. not bad if only a 12 or 14 slot .. but if I put my 24 slot bag in slot 6 .. yeow :)

It happens with all my chars and only with inventory slot 6

(Any chance of alt layouts ..like heath/power swapping positions with the casting bars?)

Thanks :)

Hotkeys are not resizable
 
1 Attachment(s)
I've just installed the new version, and have no problem with the installer, but i think there is a minor error in the main hotkey bar (this one under target). The bar doesn't cover all the space left for it. I've tried to resize the bar, but ever restores itself to his initial long.
See image.

I don't know if it is intended or not, but i would like to know what i can do to resize the hotkeys bars (all of them, because i think that in 1024x786, that's my rez; i could add a new hotkey if i resize 2 of them, at top right corner, to a 2 rows pack instead of 3x3 rows pack). --- Edited: YES THEY RESIZE Correctly.

I hope all of u can understand what i'm saying, and srry for my bad english.

And thx all for this great UI, great job.

--- Edited: A new problem, the HealthHUD is over the chat, how can i move it? .... See image.

Oh I see what may be makeing that happen.. There is a space in your server name? Hmm, for now rename the settigns ini file to take out the space and it should work. so in other words rename lucan dlere_mileena_eq2_uisettings.ini to lucandlere_mileena_eq2_uisettings.ini the after the installer runs rename it back. I'll get that fixed.

Toggle the frame and title bar to change the layout of the bag, Horz,Vert and normal are the layouts.

/sigh yea I know about the dumb gap, it's fixed in the next update. but I can't hot fix it because well a lot of other windows has changed.

If you turn on the title and fame you can move the healthhud, don't ask me why that is, its just that way lol.. you can turn them off after you get it placed where u want.

xarox: The Implied target will go away when your taget has u targeted, targets somthing out side or your group/raid or has you targeted. Your target will go away when you go so far way from the taget. Thats the games code not mine.

Krumulis: 1600 x 1024 will/should work for any 1600 x XXXX setting. Plus my POS LCD will not do any thing past 1024.

biowulf_of_wa: Yea I know about the chat issue, Its got me stumped, just resize for the left:/

I guess SOE took that out, just turn on the title and use the close button maybe :)

Vanyari 09-08-2005 09:47 AM

Hi Landin. Having some trouble with the installer.

I select my resolution - I use 1440 x 900 so was trying the 1480 x 1024 as the closest match - and then browsed to a characters UI settings file. When I click install though I get an error kicked back telling me to select a valid UI settings file. This happens regardless of which characters UI settings file I select.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: Nevermind... reading through the thread is see there is an issue with server names having spaces. i'm on Antonia Bayle so that's likely the issue. Will try the suggested fix.

Revive
 
Any chance you could make it so hitting enter doesn't automatically revive you? I tried talking while dead last night on a raid and revived myself back to the start of the zone (darathar) which made it pretty inconvenient... just glad I wasn't on spirits of the lost and the main revive option isn't outside the zone :|

Baronken 09-08-2005 12:13 PM

From the broker window, pressing enter after typing a search term doesn't do a Find Items for you, instead it moves the cursor to the chat window.

Resolution Sizes?
 
Hello Landiin,

I'm running your v2.13 and I think you did a great job with it but I have 1 request, so far... is there any way you can make this setup in a 1280x1024??

http://www.eq2interface.com/download...ew.php?id=3739

I love the way that looks but I can't adjust my monitor to go any higher than 1280x1024. My monitor doesn't support anything above that resolution. I'd appreciate it :D

Also, I noticed that I couldn't edit the name of the tabs in the chat options. That's all I've found so far but I love this UI. It's the only one I use anymore :D
Keep up the great work
