Experience bar rounding error
 

This has been around for quite a while, so it's not related to 8.x. Apologies if it's been posted elsewhere. It may not even be Fetish related. Anyway, I noticed there's a rounding error at certain intervals in the experience bar numeric. The bar itself is correct, but the number doesn't properly reflect the current percentage. It will show that you are 58.9% in, when in reality you are 57.9 or thereabouts. It's particularly glaring when it says you are 100.9% in and haven't dinged!

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks,

P.S. I know everyone says it, but: I won't play EQ2 w/o Fetish. Thanks for your brilliance, Zonx!

From my understanding, this is a Sony issue and how the game (im)properly reports what your experience/AA/tradeskill is due to rounding. This affects any and all mods that display a percentage of said total level.

And I agree with the previous post - the first thing I did when I came back to EQ2 was find the latest Fetish version and load it up. The mod is that good.

I concur. :D No EQ2 without Fetish for me.

Speaking of which, is V 8.2 of Classic coming sometime?

There is a minor display bug on the Tradeskill window. When you are making an item with a long name it overlaps the line above. I have attached a screenshot as an example

Hey Zonx... I upgraded to 8.2 today.. and ever since, it won't load the UI at all. I've deleted the directory and the eq2.ini and unzipped the 8.2 zip file multiple tiems, but it will not load the UI anymore..

Do you have any clue why?

8.2 Wont Load
 

Sanity Check:

(1) What directory did you install into? By default, the 8.2 ZIP installs into FetishNightfall (not, like I like to use, Fetish).
(2) Is your eq2.ini referencing the directory discussed in (1)?

Editing this file had no effect for me. It appears the patcher is replacing the eq2_default.ini, which has the volume settings hard-coded. I don't see a way around it because you can't stop the patcher from replacing the file. It's a bit of a nuisance, actually.

Yeah Faoj.. every thing was working great before I upzipped the 8.2. Then it just stopped loading. The zip has the eq2.ini in it.. It took me 4 reinstalls of fetish before it would pick it back up.

I've got it working again, but the chat windows seem a bit messed. They have the scroll bar in them like I used to have, but they are cutting off the last character again. This was fixed in the last update, but it looks like it's broke again. Anyone have a clue on how to fix that? I like to have my tabs and scroll bars always showing.

Never mind.. I think I forgot to change back to the simple chat xml file.

I searched the Fetish area, but I can't find anything on how to disable click strike adn click cure.. I dont' want them coming up. How can I turn them off? Every time I log in, clickstrike is active.

If you don't ever want to use ClickStrike, remove the include for it from eq2ui_mainhud.xml

Removing ClickCures is more complicated since its integrated with the Player and Group windows. The esiest thing to do would be to add this code bit to the first page object of that file...
This should automatically hide the window any time its activated.

Personabar disappears
 

First off .. love this UI!

I'm having an issue where my persona bar is not showing at all ... what do I need to change in the xml coding in order for the Personabar to always show?

Read my FAQ.

Little question: in the FAQ here it says
In the readme is says:
What is right and whats i wrong?

The readme should be write, the FAQ just needs to be updated I believe =)

Yep, FAQ needs a small update to change that which I'll do now ;)

Since updating to the latest Fetish, i have two small problems, that i think maybe linked?

A) The eq2 menu button cant be resized to hide the extra options like multi video options, or sound options.

B) Everytime i load into the game my master volume is reset to 50% when i normally sit at about 20%. I think this might be related to the sound options via the eq2 menu button, but i maybe wrong.

Any suggestions? :)

Thanks

Please do forgive if the answer was given to this, I am fairly new and not so knowledgeable about this kind of thing.

I am also having the problem where you cant resize your hotbar icons. I get the same black box with white rectangle in it. It was working fine till a few days ago. I went LD... and since then.. my UI has not worked properly. Since that crash.. and it was instant poof, I only have 1 toon that I can accept invites to group on with Fetish 8.2. All other toons crash instantly if i accept or a group is formed. I have deleted and completely reloaded the UI and for the most part it works, cept the hotbar thing and still having problems with invites.

(all the issues go away if i completely abandon Fetish and the game works smoothly, so it is somethin in the UI.. but I am so not smart about them...)

Hewlp please.... default makes baby jebus cry in his manger =/

I adore this UI, and after 9 years of playing EQ and EQ2.. this is prima!

Much thanks!

A thread concerning sound settings can be found HERE.

The Start window was not designed to be manually resized, but you could probably edit the file to make it resizable by adding to the first page object.

Are you using /loadui to change your UI?

Also, paste the contents of your eq2.ini

And try reinstalling fetish from scratch... ie delete or rename the old folder.

TBH since it works on some toons but not others, I'm thinking your character uisettings file may be corrupted.

Try this. Pick one of your bugged characters, and find their <server>.<character>.uisettings.ini file, and rename it or delete it. On that same character in game, , type /load_uisettings and select the character that works.

Thank you Lordebon.. i did delete it and the ini. that worked with the crash../eternal squirrell dance of joy!!


I still cant change my hotbar settings , however.

is there somethin i can delete to get the default hotbar settings to show up?

Make sure you have the most recent version of Fetish. It should include the file you need so that you don't get a big black box when trying to change hotbar settings.

I got her fixed, Lordebon.

She had previous versions of the equi_mainhud_popup.xml and I got her the more current version.

EQ2MAP updater is now asking to overwrite our map files again. Should we let it Zonx, or will that break things?

Also, in the house vault at least (that's where I've noticed it, since it's smaller like a bag) the "OPEN" text overlay is bigger than the bag size, so it kinda speads out over other boxes/bags/whatever.

Hi Zonx. It appears 8.2 is not compatible with the AA reset vendor. Tried using it in Qeynos and got the pop up that the version of the UI was not compatible with the window.

Zonx covered this a few posts above...

Ah sorry I went back 2 pages and did not see anything. It was one more page back.

I was haveing an issue with the Spinners not showing on some of my hotkeys. When I went to look I found the little black box. so I then went to see if there was an updated Nightfall, and sure enough there was so I updated to the new 8.2 and the box was there so I double checked to see if the show spinner was checked for the hotbars with no spinners and it was.

This only seems to happen when I have more then 2 hotbars.

There is also an issue with the Goldi startbutton, they used to have us remove the bagstrip line in your eq2ui file but when I tried to use it with the new 8.2 version of nightfall, I was unable to find the bagstrip line in the eq2ui file so that start button is broken. I know you can not fix this I was just wondering if any one has any input on what I can do to make it work, I am useing the command center 2 found in the nightfall directory, now that window has gone away on all my my chacters but about 2 and I have to keep reinstalling my settings to get it to show up.

With the fix listed for the hotbar I think I am going to go back to the 8.1 patch till the startbutton gets fixed by goldi :)

Turn the "on-hover" opacity of the frame for the hotbars up. The spinner's opacity (Visibility) is linked to the opacity of the frame. By default the opacity is 0, so for new hotbars thats probably why you're not seeing the spinner.

Suggestion: this hotbar thing be added to the FAQ

I get an error by removing players from my friends list....
eq2 shuts down..
any ideas?

It has been stated that the community window has not been updated with GU30 changes. Therefore, you will either need to use the one from NF8.2 or revert back to the default for now.

Were would I find that on-hover option, I do not think I have seen it?

the acheivment merchant window is not compatable in version 8.2

That is a known issue and will be fixed in I believe the next release. It was mentioned on this page of the bugs:

Right click the hotbar and select "Window Settings"

For each type (frame, background, and window) you'll have two sliders: one is the "normal" (not hovered) and one is the hovered slider.

Lordebon-I have already done that and now I crash every time I try and interact with the Achevement Councelor.
Changed my UI to the Default EQ2 one and same thing, obviously something is up with my original files as well.

If you've installed 8.2 and deleted eq2u_popup_acheavementmerchant.xml from your Fetish directory, the default window should be loading when you click the merchant. Zero chance that window is defective.

The only reason I can think of that you'd have issues here is if for some reason you are missing the include for that window in the first place. Double-check that eq2ui_popup.xml actually has an include for eq2u_popup_acheavementmerchant.xml.

This window was a recent addition, so if you didn't update eq2ui_popup.xml with the version from 8.2 or replaced it with one from another mod, you're going to have problems.

Ever since the FetishNightfall update 8.2 my map has gone back to asking to overwrite eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml. Can we do this now or will it break something?

It should be safe to allow the map updater to replace the main map file.

Display heraldry on cloak checkbox still dosen't work

It sure works for me.

Are you using the current version, or and older version perhaps?
