Thanks to someone whom I will not name I got my hands on the interface files from the Beta server. I integrated the changes that I noted into ProfitUI. Since I do not have Beta access myself this is completely untested and may not fix all the problems that currently exist with the UI on Beta or even break something else.

Note that I integrated this into my curent development version of ProfitUI 2.9.0. While I tried to remove the windows from that which are not yet release ready so all that is there should work, I may have missed something.

Also note that for 2.9.0 I changed the file extension of all editable XML files to .txt to make them easier recognizable and to faciliate opening them. This means that you may need to rename files that you had edited, e.g. the logindata. I think the only new file is the mail signatures file.

Hmm, I had put a wrong file into the zip. Fixed version below (should only concern character creation). Sorry about that.

Very Nice work I must say I really like the green tint.

I saw a couple of things wrong like not having the no show cloak check box and in the skills area the bars go all the way over the page so you can't see the end.

I am having a problem with the interface on live now, this is the first time it has happened. I play in windowed mode, and as of today whenever I look at Firefox, my bottum bar goes away. This has NEVER happened to me before....anyone know? Ive done a full file scan, I even deleted the Uisettings for the character, redid them, then looked at my explorer and it did it again.

Zechaar 11-12-2006 02:52 AM

Hey there GM9! As always I thank you for continuing to support Profit and making it the best UI out there. Has being in beta helped you? How is it coming along on the next release? If you need any testing let me know as I am in beta also.

**Is there anything you go by other than GM9?

Luerssen 11-12-2006 08:39 AM

You probably have an empty window of some sort there. I occasionally do that by mistake with an empty hot bar. Raid window can also be a problem if you have it open but are not grouped or raided.

Try to right click and and just close window.

One way to test that theory is to hit F10. If that area goes black then you have some window open but empty there.

(edit: oops, just noticed that your windows are all blacked out in your picture so you probably already hit F10. odd)

Madhog 11-13-2006 07:09 AM

Only problem Im having with the beta dl is tooltips. I get a message telling me the UI Im using isnt compatible.

Any ideas??

Apart from that its fab, I love the green too.

raetsel 11-13-2006 07:42 AM

ProfitUI 2.9.0 (BETA):

Can't get rid of the selection arrows in hotbars, no matter what framesetting i choose.
Can't close any containers using the upper right hand close button.
Upper left hand Movement button doesnt move the window, you must target the lower right hand corner of the movement button ;)

Madhog 11-13-2006 08:40 AM

Arrows I can help you with, right click the hotbar and choose *Hide spinners*

:D

Kynna 11-13-2006 08:59 AM

As a poster above me had mentioned, tooltips don't seem to be working with this UI currently (the BETA one), but everything else seems to be fine. Don't know about closing the bags with the button at the corner of the window since I never use it anyways.

BTW....I LOVE the green color scheme :nana: :nana:

gm9 11-13-2006 10:48 AM

Tooltips work if you do a clean install of the UI without any options (unless a new patch as of today broke it).

All bugs will be fixed (hopefully) before release. At least all that you posted are already fixed internally. I'm about 95% done with the release (completely arbitrary number I pulled out of thin air :p) and will finish it up tonight after work so you get it on time.

The green skin from the beta pack will be in a skin pack that I will release simultaneously, the default skin remains blue.

SiSL 11-13-2006 10:53 AM

I am so waiting to download 2.9 already :) excited with expansion and wont step there without my favorite UI :)

Good work gm9, we love you

iirc, The way I was able to get the spinners to work right (hide/show on hover) was to change the window settings to show Frame and Titlebar, then hover over and off the spinner, and then change the window setting to whatever wanted.

I did a clean install (brand new user here) of the beta (did it last night) I did however choose a couple different options and I got the tool-tip error. Does this mean that I won't be able to use any of the options (ie compact maintained and compact group windows) come release?


I liked the UI much, I downloaded the live version, and no issues, it's great, i like being able to choose colors, i am always partial to blue's. One question was that one window that has self, target and implied target, that you can hide with the control center, is there an xml that i can just delete so I don't have to keep going into the control center every time i log in to hide it?

Thanks!

gm9 11-13-2006 01:22 PM

The compact maintained is the culprit, there is a file in there that shouldn't have been there. One of the things left to fix for me tonight. It will work for the release, don't worry.

The window you want removed is the player window. If you remove the file the player window from the DefaultUI pops up. However, I can add an option (another .zip, hehe) that permanently removes it (remind me again should I forget to put that into the release, you never know ;)).

Gasp! To me thats the coolest thing about prophit!

HerpHandler 11-13-2006 03:14 PM

Relative noob to the UI scene here. I have used this UI for all my toons and have everything set up perfectly for my playstyle.

When the updates for the new expansion come out will I be able to install it so I dont lose the settings I have now or will I have to set up the whole thing again?

Oh I play at 1920x1200 if that makes a difference.

Findarato 11-13-2006 03:41 PM

As long as you delete the old UI folder and put in the new one your UI settings should stay the same.

Would unzipping the new files into the everquestII dir do this or is there something im missing in your statement?

enderwiggin01 11-13-2006 07:31 PM

Will Profit UI work tomorrow, with the release of EoF? If Not, when will it be compadable. I skimmed thru all the posts and didn't see anything on this topic, if there was, sorry for the post.

gm9 11-13-2006 08:05 PM

ProfitUI 3.0 released
 
Alright, the release is available. Figured it was time for a major version bump. Details on the changes to follow.

This will not work before your server has been patched to GU29 !

Good night, I'm outta here. :p

Madhog 11-13-2006 08:40 PM

Just tested the new release on beta, and yep it seems totally fine, awesome work GM9!

I used the left compact maintained and tooltips are working.

Only thing I noticed is, this morning when I logged into Beta, bags were resizeable. Personally I didnt like them like that as they seemed to be taking up more space than they actually should, ie Id try clicking on bag 2 and bag 1 would be selected. However, I much much prefer 8 slot wide bags. Ive been using a really old 3/4 version of Gers up until now, but that is no longer working. My request is, any chance of an 8 slot wide version of the ones you have GM9 as they would be perfect?

Thanks again, getting a working version out before the day of release is just incredible.

HerpHandler 11-13-2006 09:44 PM

I know Im repeating myself but I dont want to have to redo everything, so could someone walk me through upgrading from the last version to this one and still keep my screen settings and placements.

avicars 11-13-2006 11:53 PM

new version crashes, none of the skill bars work, and if I use a hotkey it crashes the game (like if I press '1') I can't drag skills to the hotbar. I tried deleting all the files, reseting my UI to default, rebooting the game, installed it. and /loadui in game and when I try to load profit, it crashes.

I must of done it early, is it made just for EoF release?

Your settings are all stored in a file that is totally separate from the ones you will be upgrading. I.e. it will not be overwritten, once you've installed v3.0 and logged back in everything should be exactly where you left it.
From reading GM9's comments above there may be one or two windows you'll have to nudge slightly to get em to line up nicely otherwise it won't be any different to how it was when you logged off.

Yup your a day early .. Ver 3 as GM9 stated is for tommorow's launch of EOF .

Compliant release before the launch.. gotta love it.. Awsome work GM9 ... can't say enough working in the blind like that.

ProfitUI 3.0 SP1
 
1 Attachment(s)
Yay, a servive pack release (not giving up my 3.0 version easily). Woke up this morning thinking that the video upon character creation would not be visible and I was right. Bah.

You can only grab the fixed file below (you do not need this if you download the main release after this post).

PS: If I had an auto-updater nobody would notice mistakes like this... :p

EDIT: Actually I did put the correct bags in the 3.0 release. They are coded to be not resizable. Are you talking about that release or the 2.9 beta release (where they were resizable, but didn't save the size correctly)?! :confused:

I played around with 8-slot wide bags, but most bags except 32-slot boxes look ugly with those, that is why I removed them again. I may include them as an option however.

Madhog 11-14-2006 05:26 AM

Er yeah, Id tried the bags from 2.9 beta but they were annoying, the 3.0 ones are fine, just not wide enough! Heh, I can live with them 4 wide I guess, until you make some 8 wide if you do!

Other guy asking about upgrading...just delete your current ProfitUI folder in your ui directory, download the latest version, unzip it, place the ProfitUI folder in your UI folder and everything will be fine once the servers come back up today.

Don't try overwriting whats in your UI folder already, its better to do a clean install.

Version 3.0 wont work until EOF is live though, and likewise, 2.9 wont work once EoF is live either.

gm9 11-14-2006 05:59 AM

Very nice summary, thanks. Only one thing:

For this release you MUST delete the ProfitUI folder because a large number of files got renamed or removed. If you just overwrite the 2.8.2 release I promise you that things will break.

What you can do is make a backup of your custom favorites, logindata, etc., but need to rename them to have a .txt extension before copying them back.

Ravenskull 11-14-2006 05:59 AM

sorry question answered in post directly before as i was writing this cheers :)

I noticed the new logindata is a .txt file versus the old .xml file...why is that? Just curious.

gm9 11-14-2006 09:31 AM

Just user convenience really. I thought that it makes those editable files stand out and easier to open. :)

Vanyari 11-14-2006 09:50 AM

I deleted the old ProfitUI folder before resinstalling this version as instructed but moved my EQ2Maps and MapSpoilers folders out first and then stuck em back in afterwards (along with the images\maps subfoder). Will this work ok or will i need to get rid of em altogether and just reinstall EQ2Maps and the Map Spoilers?

Would love to have one too, and would be able to create one. Problem is, I'm a Java guy and most people don't like java (for whatever reason /shrug)
:rolleyes:

wolfmoonct 11-14-2006 10:34 AM

I just tried the profit UI the other day, because the Draco UI isn't going to work, and no one supports it now. When I tried it, the one thing I don't like, is the chat window. When I did the install, the chat window fades out after x amount of time. I cannot figure out how to keep the chat window always in active mode.

Can you tell me how to keep it always active? The UI seems to work pretty well otherwise.

hiroprotagonist 11-14-2006 10:40 AM

You need to right click the chat window, go to the windows slider bars and just push em to the right and they will always be up. I personally allow a bit of fade to see thru with just enough background that it shows over grass etc etc

That really depends on what the EQ2Maps guys did, but I think it will work.

I have nothing against Java (it is GPL'ed now after all ;)), and I think that users will not mind either way as long as it works.

I know that there is at least one auto-updater written in Java available on SourceForge - I had already searched for an existing software that I could customize for my needs a while ago. However, I just don't have the time to take on that project.

So if you want to give it a go to build one from scratch or start off with the existing one, you are more than welcome. Best send me a PM so we can discuss the details.
