I'd say #1 if it's doable. If it's gonna cause too much overhead (not really familiar completely with how the UI system works) then #2 might be a better idea.

I think if the combat icon is lit looking to see who is what class is not needed. Thus Class Level info should be off when combat is initiated.

Group window
 

Well, I went to code the level/class not popping when groupmembers have a status effect. And I found that I had accidentally deleted the code that makes that info not pop when your in combat.

So, both are coded in and (theoretically) working. I'm gonna try to get a few groups and test the crap outta it and hopefully put out the much better version on Monday.

Thanks for the feedback
Mother

Thanks for the very nice MOD piece. I was coming over to this thread to request turning off the pop up, but it appears you are already working on it. :) Very nicely done and love the tank tracker.

Awesome mods Mother - clean, mean and effective! Keep up the great work mate!

P.S I really really miss seeing my health/power percentages =( hopefully next release?

so, after many attempts, i cant get your most recent update to show the actual bars :(

i know i have all the files correct, and all the eq2ui_mainhud.xml entries correct, it just wont give me the bar

really really odd

Have you tried a clean install of just my mod? If you do, and still have problems, PM me and I'll work with you to resolve.

I had the same problem with these, but it was easily fixed by copying the following into your eq2ui_custom.xml file:

<include>_Mothers_Styles.xml</include>
<include>_Mothers_Styles_1.xml</include>
<include>_Mothers_Styles_2.xml</include>
<include>_Mothers_Styles_3.xml</include>
<include>_Mothers_Styles_4.xml</include>
<include>_Mothers_Styles_5.xml</include>
<include>_Mothers_Styles_6.xml</include>
<include>_Mothers_Styles_7.xml</include>
<include>_Mothers_Styles_8.xml</include>
<include>_Mothers_Styles_9.xml</include>
<include>_Mothers_Styles_10.xml</include>

This includes not only what Mother suggested, but to also include the files mentioned inside that file as well. Is a bit overkill but I think my UI was being picky with the layered includes.

Interesting. I'll have to take a look at how I did the whole include thing if it's causing problems.
Mother

I wouldn't worry about it until you can verify it is causing issues on a clean install. I run a nicely modded Profit UI, and sometimes things don't mesh, so I end up jury rigging.

Just a quick note regarding the new single 'cure all' ability...

Naturally with the recent update click to cure effects have been broken. I was able to fix my click to cure functionality pretty easily.

1. Open eq2ui_mainhud_player.xml in notepad
2. Search for the words Trauma, Arcane, Noxious or Elemental and replace these words with the word Cure. You should need to replace each word twice.
3. Close and save eq2ui_mainhud_player.xml
3. Open eq2ui_mainhud_groupmembers.xml in notepad
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3

Yeah, sorry I haven't gotten this in the official release. I haven't played in a week.

Update
 

anyone know how to make this mod work with the new updates?? for some reason when someone joins group it doesn't show their name or anything... sorry if this has been discussed before..

I have a version that appears to work. Sorry, I was trying to get some additional testing before releasing it, but I'll put it out this afternoon when I'm next near the computer with the necessary file.

You've just got to promise to not be mad if there's something I overlooked.
Mother

Mad?? at you?? Never lol ever since I started playing 4 years ago I have been using your stuff.. you do great work :D keep it up

Ok, it's in the pipe-line awaiting approval now.

I stuck the pet health directly below the mana bar. That's probably the last thing I can add to the window before I have to give up and make it bigger.

Of course, having had to revert to the default group window while I fixed this - I've got quite a lot that I could size it up and still keep it smaller than the default. That thing's a monster!

Mother

P.S. Let me know if anything doesn't work - I didn't go fighting with it but everything looked like it was working when I harassed guildies to group with me while I was in the guild house.

Welcome back mother :)

My wife and I are having issues with the group window.
We cant target anyone by clicking the group window, sometime it target someone else, or simply it target nothing.
For the rest i didnt notice any other buggs, but not being abble to target group members is a huge issue for a group window :p

Looking forward for a fix ^^
Ty in advance :p

That does indeed sound like a big problem. I'll see what I can see!

Ok, it seems to work now. The way GU51 rearranged all the elements of the group window, things were on top of other things they used to be underneath and they were getting in the way of clicking. I think I made all the stuff in the way click-through now.

In addition, after fixing that I found click-to-cures were broken by another change they made. That should also be fixed now.

And while I was messing around, I went ahead and added the voice-chat icon and quick-volume adjust thingie.

Hopefully that'll do it. Happy gaming!

Mother

Edit: and many thanks to the Faith and Justice people for all the "Ok, invite me again - I'm sure it'll work this time." they had to endure. You're all saints LOL

Your Group window work perfectly now, Great job mother :)

btw i think you got a same kind of bug with your raid window, i was using your raid window in the past and when i was in 2 vertical with 2 line the drag and drop of raid people to other group wasnt working very well.
The targetting was ok but moving people was clumsy, i wonder if you could check it :)

I'm going to take a look at the raid window...

But the code in that thing is ancient - I'm not sure if I even remember all the tricks I did to it to get it working, I mostly remember thinking "Thank god this thing is done and I never have to touch it again."

But I'll see if I can bring it into modern times.

Mother

I absolutely love this group mod. It's not as obtrusive as the ones with the 5 click to heal ones, but still has click to heal cure.

My problem is the click to cure no longer works for me. I see that mother updated it to work again with 1.1.2 release. But I can't find a link to download 1.1.2, everything I see is 1.1.1 or earlier. Any help with this?

**this is a double post from somewhere else, sorry about that. I didn't see you had a thread started already :)**

I'll try to find 1.1.2 and re-upload it. Not sure why 1.1.1 is the one on the download.

I need to update it to put the *'s on the AA mobs you haven't killed yet, so maybe I'll just pop out a 1.1.3 while i'm at it.

Mother

Just curious, but with the way click to cure works, where you click on the ailment in the group window to cure it, is it possible to make it so that you have one small button to click to cure all non-curse ailments. And another for curses?

I find myself constantly curing people that don't have ailments when trying to just select them in group because I accidentally click a little too low, and end up clicking on the ailment area. Even though there isn't anything there.

This is more my problem than anything though :)

Only priest classes have the 4-in-1 cure spell, other classes still need the separate buttons.

ahh didn't think about that. Thanks for shedding the light =)

Do you have any plans to bring your raid window up to date? I absolutly love your group window, and I really hate all the skinny hard to read/watch raid windows out now.

I saw some pictures of how your raid window used to look and I love it. Just thought of an updated mother's raid window makes me smile a little =)

New reply intro
 

Figured I would drop a ping onto this thread and maybe float it back to the front page.

Also, generally soliciting opinions from anyone who did install the UI to see what people outside of my head think are the strengths/weaknesses. (And of course what bugs there are.)

I'm also in the process of implementing a currency window. (My toons are all new and constantly broke.) I'm trying to decide if I just want to display all 4 coins that are in the character window, or if maybe it displays silver and copper only until you have a gold, then gold and silver until you have a plat, and maybe at 100 plat it only shows plat? Opinions welcome.

Showing everything is only like 285x50 pixels. But I tend towards the more features = more better philosophy.

I would love to try to figure out something with the bags and I will be giving it some brain power but I imagine everything that could meaningfully impact them has been tried and I didn't see any huge variation when I poked through the downloads there.
