Having Trouble Opening My Store
 
I am getting a bug when I am in my home opening my store. My chat log shows that the store has indeed been opened, yet I get no window showing up containing the store. I've tried resetting the opacity on the windows, but then again, it hasn't worked since the day I installed the ThorUI. Any suggestions or anyone know how this issue can be fixed? I really dont wanna uninstall the UI over something so trivial :(

Faetyl 01-11-2006 05:01 PM

1.) Sounds like you didn't use my window placements file. (That's fine but it usually keeps these issues from occuring)
2.) You "should" be able to "fix" the issue by going into in game options>user interface>uncheck "allow windows offscreen".

You may need to log out then back in, i'm not sure...
Another option is to use my window placements by running the window wizard.

My question is regarding my chat box. I've successfully downloaded the Thor application. I have the maps, the compass...etc...however, I can not unlock my chat boxes. I cannot reposition them or resize them in any way. Chat window options shows them to be 'unlocked'. I usually have 3 chat boxes lined up at the top of my screen. I couldn't get any of them to move and after sending them back to default ... I can't get anything to happen at all. Other than this issue I'm loving this application ... I so wish I had this to use many months ago.

Great interface btw, I have used it for almost a year and am overall very happy with it (much better than the SoE interface)

I have had issues with chat boxes lately too. Not sure when it started, but has been real noticeable the past week. The only way I have been able to reposition or resize them is to add an additional tab. Then I have to position my cursor in the upper right hand corner of the box to do anything. It will not allow me to resize or move if I try anywhere else.

I move my windows for different activities (raids, guild meetings, crafting), so loosing the ability to easily position my windows makes gameplay difficult.

I deleted the UI directory and ran the updated again with no luck in resolving the issue.

I also uninstalled Thor UI completely, and it seems to be an issue with how EQ2 treats the windows. If I turn it to frame only.. it still only allows me to move or resize where the tab used to be (the transparent area above the window).

Faetyl 01-12-2006 05:38 PM

Issue is most likely with your window placements file and not the UI.
Use window wizard provided within the AutoUpdater and this should resolve your issues.

Sanadee 01-13-2006 01:22 PM

Chat box troubles
 
Thx so much for your quick reply to my question. And forgive me for not being so computer literate here...i'm struggling. Re: my chat windows ... i used the window wizard and had some success in that i then had 'tabs' at least at the top of the chat box, which i did not have before, and i was able to locate the little * in the upper left hand corner and cld reposition the box but...I cld not resize it. Then when i tried to detach the different boxes and place them at the top of my screen the tab wld disappear and i could not move nor resize the box i was trying to place. The only way i cld get the i.e. "chat" tab to appear, once i detached it, was to add a tab, then it would show up. If i removed the tab then the chat tab would also disappear and i then could not reposition the box. I made sure all was unlocked.

Pls help...the chat box is taking up a large portion of my screen and i wld love to be able to separate the different tabs and place them at the top of my screen.

Thanks again.

ronser 01-13-2006 01:52 PM

Had the same prob Sanadee.

I was able to resize and move the window when I changed the position of the tabs to the bottom of the chatbox. When separating the tabs again its still not easy to catch the spot where you can resize/move the window, but it's doable :nana:
Try to catch it at the bottom of the window, where the Tab would normally sit, near some border line.

Hope that helps - good luck ;)

edit: added missing word...

Sanadee 01-13-2006 06:32 PM

Thanks Ronser
 
Thanks so much Ronser ... that did it ... I found the right spot next to the tab. Really appreciate your help !! Now ... I'm gonna go play !!

Happy adventuring !!

Removing Chat Boxes
 
I am having problems removing Chat Boxes with the "Socials Tab" on the lower right, chosing the tabs to be on the bottom. I have 4 extra Chat boxes that appear everytime I login. I have problems when I was setting up the UI to the locations that I wanted the Chat boxes. The Chat boxes would get closed and I would add a new or open an existing one. None of the other 5 characters is having this problem. So, I most have done something incorrect in the beginning. I have tried everthing I know to get them to go away. If I click on the 'x' button the Chat boxes do not close. I can add them as new tabs and then remove them, but they come back the next time I login to play. Is their anyway to remove these Chat boxes permanetly?

Waleska

Faetyl 01-16-2006 01:41 AM

You're characters ui_settings.ini file is corrupt and should be replaced/deleted.

Best way would be to delete it, then make a copy of one of your other characters file and rename to the character that had the issue.

Make sure all is done before logging in.

You may also use the window wizard within advanced options for my presets.

Waleska 01-16-2006 12:40 PM

I deleted the ui_settings.ini file, I copied of one of my other characters file and rename to the character that had the issue. Worked Great!!

Thanks for the Help!!

Issues
 
Just want to say that i love this UI...has made the game that much more fun. I have been having the issues that was stated about the showhood button....doesnt reshow if you click it you have to type in /showhood to see it.

Also I have been having issues with the nightvision...it hasnt worked for about a week or so now...not sure what to do?

Faetyl 02-02-2006 12:37 PM

Gakkar, please see the instructions post.

It's located at the top of the ThorUI forums and titled "Instructions - Please read first"

Let me know if you still need help, with the UI.

Faetyl 02-02-2006 12:41 PM

SOE were working on the differences in /showhood and the different helms/hats.
To the best of my knowledge this was resolved and mine works on all my characters. Let me know if you still have trouble.

Nightvision requires you to be in atleast medium performance or it will not work at all. This and other information can be found by clicking on the "..." button next to each feature.

Hope this helps.

Lu 19
 
Is the UI now LU 19 compatible? I dont see the Thor UI screen when my game loads up?

And thanks for the speedy reply

LamgwinDorn 02-02-2006 03:45 PM

New Update
 
Have you made the UI Live update 19 compatible yet?

Faetyl 02-02-2006 04:17 PM

YES ThorUI is up to date and LU19 compatible.

Everyone should see the info page when launching the ThorUI AU
Please follow the instructions mentioned there as I have updated some of the file structure which requires you to delete the thorui folder in the UI directory and relaunch the ThorUI AU and allow it to redownload all files for the UI.

I could 'hear' the story being told in the background, but I couldn't see the usual movie that I normally see.

Everything else in the game appears to be working properly though, and when I had the game scan all the files everything appeared to be in place.

Like I said I'm not sure if it is GUI related or perhaps it could be game related. I just figured I would mention it here first just in case - to see if anyone else had this problem.

This is a quote from a post I made many weeks ago. After LU19 I am STILL having the same problem BUT it's even worse now because it seems that this movie is played every time I log into the queen's colony the first time and every time I zone into a new instance of it for the first time. Basically it's like an extra long zone with nothing but black screen and GUI showing - and the audio from the movie playing... Is there a fix for this?
:confused:

Just taking a wild guess here.....but how about updating video drivers?

/shrug

Faelen 02-04-2006 06:21 PM

As far as I know, this is due to you having selected the chat while zoning option, so if you open the AU, deselect the chat while zoning option, delete the thorui folder within your UI folder, and rerun the AU it should be fine =)

ShadowProwler420 02-05-2006 08:51 AM

I don't believe his issue is because of the chat while zoning addon.

I started a new toon yesterday (mainly just to check out the new tutorial part of the game (what used to be the Isle of Refuge)). When I actually got into the game after creating the new toon, I also had a black screen with only the UI visible (also jumbled up) while a story-related audio track ran its course. Then after it was done, the blackness went away and the game graphics appeared.

I'm thinking this is the way it is supposed to be happening. Just mark the blackness up as the audio track being a voice in your (character's) head.

Faetyl 02-05-2006 10:13 AM

A slideshow of pictures are supposed to be visible when you first create a new character.

Also just after launching the game SOE added a new SOE logo video that is still having issues with some video cards/settings.

The first issue could indeed be from the chat while zoning feature. (I'm wondering how many actually use that feature and if I should just remove it)

The second issue could be a video card or SOE issue as you stated in your first post.

Skinn 02-05-2006 11:53 AM

Hi again.

Is "how to save my own graphics presets" listed in the GUI info ? or can i find it in amongst these posts plz?

ThorUI Crafting window search field focus
 
Hi! First off, fantastic work! I could not imagine playing without ThorUI at this point. The new craft window is really nice, however, I'm having a little issue with it. I use hotkeys for reactions, and for batches I make extensive use of the 'hit ENTER to repeat recipe' feature, so I'll select a recipe, hit enter and then combos of keys 1-6 for my dur and prog reacts. The problem is, when I hit enter to repeat the recipe, focus transfers to the search field and all my '456456123'... ends up there, instead of reacting to the crafting conditions. I can switch focus to another window and I'm okay, but if I want to blast through some stuff at crude quality, then when I hit stop I get focus back, and invariably forget to set focus back out, which leads to really spastic crafting :-)

I am trying to comment out the search field atm as a workaround, but don't actually know XML, so it seems like a more durable solution would be preferred. If need be, I can rename the file and go back to the default, but you've spoiled me and I'd prefer not to.

- Thanks!

Hehe, I came here to post my testing results today but I see you guys have already come to the same conclusion I did. I did indeed turn off chat while zoning and then started a new character. Sure enough I was able to see the movie again, so (at least) in my case that is where the problem stems from.
While I do enjoyed being able to see and use chat while zoning, I can live without it. To possibly help with a fix however - this problem occured with both the original drivers (what I am using now until EQ2 can fix the blackouts) and the New drivers (what I used before when I first posted this problem) for ATI AIW Radion 9800 pro (agp).

Faetyl 02-05-2006 04:15 PM

All instructions for all features are available in the ThorUI AU on the features page. Press the "..." button for full details/instructions...

Faetyl 02-05-2006 04:21 PM

I know exactly what you're talking about.
I did see this and i'll be working on a resolution soon. (Along with slimming the size of the window) ;)

For now, just backspace clear the search field and press enter again.
Any further "enter key presses" will go to the crafting window rather than the recipe window.
Rinse and repeat for each recipe for now unfortunately.

Hope this helps, and I'll see if I can change the functionality of it soon.

I do use it, but I won't lose any sleep if you decide to remove it.

thegrimone 02-06-2006 05:51 AM

I can't seem to get the small target window to work. I tried several times but it always shows a large window.

Ok i got it to work somehow. Guess the hammer scared it.

Dharis 02-07-2006 06:59 AM

Hi, i just want to ask if there's already a solution for my problem, which I posted on page 4 of this threat, or if the exp-bar still isn't smooth font compatible.

Faetyl 02-07-2006 05:33 PM

Hi Dharis, sorry for not getting back to you on this sooner.
Unfortunately the answer is no...
Whe have to "improvise" to get the tenths to show for a more detailed idea of your XP gain on individual mobs. (SOE doesn't have the direct identifier for us to refference)
In doing so we have to "clip" the viewable area off or the text would appear over the other numbers. Cliping then results in what you see if the font size is changed.
Bear in mind even if I made a version smooth font compatible, it would only be for a specific font size. So I would need to make several versions for several font sizes.
I just don't have the time or resources to keep up with maintaining those special versions.

I can offer to make you a custom version "time permitting" but would have to warn you it may eventually be outdated from a SOE update/change.

Dharis 02-08-2006 08:42 AM

Oh, that would be great, but only if you find the time for it. My eyes are a little bit handicaped, so I have to take the smooth fonts for beeing able to read the text. I have Smooth fonts and these, er....small serifs fonts (dont know if that's the word, i mean the second checkbox) enabled.

Chat window missing!
 
I've just created a new character and the chat window just started to not appear unless I started a camp to desktop. Then it would appear and I would cancel the camp and continue on. But recently even that doesn't work.

How can I get the chat window to appear? There is a space for it where I originally put it but just won't appear.

Ive removed THorUI folder and run the AU but no difference. :o

Tryxxi 02-13-2006 09:16 AM

Hq
 
I recently bought a new computer and downloaded the game along with the ThorUI (auto update). Everything is working well, as did before, with the exception that I no longer have a Heritage Quest tab in my journal. I have updated several times since, but cannot get this invaluable feature to restore (which I used routinely)...any suggestions? Thanks

Faetyl 02-13-2006 09:22 AM

Your window placements file is bad.
type /load_uisettings whil ein game and try one of the available options.

All of the "extras" from the help window and journal window are in the infocenter. (you should have a book on your start button that opens it) if you use my start button mod.

Hello really like the UI can't live without it now. Onlt trouble I am having is A tendancy for the chat screen to black out. Do you think this would be a result of the above chat while zoning feature?
