Velious and Fetish
 

Hi all.

Were there any Fetish regulars in Velious and did it have much impact on the UI?

Just curious as to whether or not we'll need to revert for a few.

Ker

I can tell you the crafting window will not work until updated.

There are changes to the UI system that aren't available to Fetish users until they get updates.

Tagging
Search for Any Item (/finditem is still available from the chat window as a command)
Pet Threat and Detriments
Journal | Collection AutoAdd
Calendar
certain Guild Event icons were added.

So, in short, your UI should work except for maybe the Tradeskill window.

Thank you for the prompt and helpful reply. Are there aspects of the UI that can be copied over to create a "cut and shut" UI, pending any update?

Fetish is a thing of beauty and the thought of returning to the default UI wholesale is making me feel a little queazy!

Ker

(I presume that in extremis I can always redirect it to default?)

While the Quest window will work you will not be able to add any collection items until it is updated.

If you delete the eq2ui_tradeskills.xml and eq2ui_journals_quest.xml files you can revert back to the default ones until Zonx gets a chance to release an update.

I hope too a fetish update comes for velious :)

I won't be throwing the whole thing out and reverting to the default myself. I plan on finding the specific files that need to be reverted back to the default and deleting them. I've already patched and seen which files have changed and will be going through to see what needs zapped once the servers are back up.

@Keezyrick: Do you plan on doing a patch that will hook us up until Zonx does the next release? If not, I'll probably post another band-aid for folks that just wanna delete the broken/outdated files once I figure out what they are.

I have posted for my FetishDarkRoyale friends an update here.

This should work for anyone using Fetish UI although some windows may not look entirely the same or have all the same features. I don't use the standard FetishNightFall and haven't for years.

It should give you everything DoV has to offer until Zonx posts an official update.

Cheers.

WARNING: Please make a backup, I have not tested any of this yet on the LIVE server. It did all work during beta.

Just unzip the files into the FetishNightFall folder.

Woot! You rock! Less work for me! :) Thank ya!

FYI, I hope to have an update out in the next 24hrs. Have yet to get onto live servers to test anything but overall the changes look to be pretty minor.

Thanks so much Zonx.
Love ur UI. Been using it for years and can't imagine playing w/o it.
:nana:

My sentiments exactly.

In the meantime I tried deleting the files on one box and using keezyrick's solution on the other. I think it's my set-up rather than kr's files but the deleting solution worked better (they both worked, but for some reason the deletion option retained proper formatting whilst the replacement windows spaced the recipes out on the tradeskill window).

Ker

Yea, the first attempt I did had a formatting issue.

If you download the files again from the link and try again, it will be fixed along with some other minor fixes.

Fetish rocks.

Thanks a lot Zonx, much appreciated!

btw - there seems to be an issue with the performance buttons, pressing extreme view crashes my client.

When comes the new update from Fetish ?

There is a patch that you can download that will get you by till Zonx has a chance to update it

I use it but cant craft says me need to update my UI and they map dont works i have not the blue blubrs for quest updates.

To get the tradeskill window working delete or rename the following file in your FetishNightfall folder:

eq2ui_tradeskills.xml

To get the calendar to work, delete or rename the following file in your FetishNightfall folder:

eq2ui_community.xml

If you get the map to work, let me know what ya did. I see the map but there's nothing on it, not even the standard things that SOE usually puts on them.

Hope that helps

with map i have same and dunno how to get right map :(

New release posted.

Note: Occasionally the map image for the current zone in the large Map window wont load automatically. When this happens, use the menus to select any other map, then change back to "Current Zone".

This problem isn't specific to Fetish.

eq2maps haven't updated yet for the DoV zones.

They are working on it and you should be able to download the maps and POIs soon.

Unfortunately none of the guys able to make the required changed to EQ2Maps were in beta so they could not do anything in advance.

Uhm... yah SOE really dropped the ball this time on beta invites for UI authors, despite my speaking to Rothgar about it. Drumstixx and I didn't get our invites until days b4 launch.

Not really feeling the luv these days :(

That's pretty rubbish, bearing in mind how dependent EQ2 is on its community for its unique feel. :(

Ker

Yeah their Beta invite process this year was strange.

Part of the problem was also that the maps weren't really finalized until the very end. I don't think the GD and EW maps changed very much over time, but some of the other maps weren't even done at the end of Beta, so we pretty much had to wait for live for them to go up.

They should be up soon though. Hopefully today for the GD and EW ones at minimum.

I've found a little bug with heritage quest chat boxes. In default UI there are gold/green in Fetish the boxes are black now. So you can't read the answers.

There is a image file with three new buttons. You can look in your images folder inside the FetishUI for the file called "commonelements.dds" and delete that in order for the new buttons to show/work until Zonx has time to edit that image file. By doing this though, it may change some colors as Zonx has skinned that image file to match with the rest of Fetish.

Bah! Yep my bad. Forgot to check the couple default DDS files I recently skinned for the Marketplace. Generally avoid that for just this reason, but of course the minute I do, SOE changes that 1 file.

Probably a week or so before I have a chance to address non-critical issues like this one. For now just trash the commonelements.dds from your FetishNightfall/images directory.

Zonx, when you do that is there any chance you can look at making the pet clicktocure detriment icons a little bigger. At the moment they are so small it is easy to miss them.

Also how do i modify the click to cure list on the pet window to add the Conjy spell Heal Servant VIII? Conjies get a "dispel any hostile effects" on their normal pet heal so that would be the one i would want to cast to cure any detriments.

The ROI's are not showing up on the map

The pet ClickCures use the stock SOE command. Until they add the desired spell to the list, you'd need to add additional script to try that specfic spell. If it only ever applies to your pet, I'd just use a hotkey... otherwise try the following...
something like that... to each of the onPress scripts for each detriment. They for sure added the pet parameter to the cureplayer command, not sure if its been added to useabilityonplayer.

If that doesn't work, you'll need to work out how to build the command using the pet name or with a target toggle. Gets tricky with ppl naming pets the same as their toon.

Far as larger icons... its doable, just didn't want to fluff the window more than needed for what frankly seams like a marginal feature. As a necro, I can use my cure arcane to cure myself or the pet of arcane or nox. Generally not gonna waste it on the pet, and have no way to cure the other 3 detriments.

Didn't realize Conjs got a pet clear all, and I'm not really seeing healer/chanter pets taking priority over a player, or tanking for that matter.

I'll play with it a bit and gather feedback to see how useful it really is. Was considering implementing it as a separate window you could open from the pet window, or maybe as a titlebar expander below the command buttons.

Attached is an updated commonelements.dds skinned for Fetish. Should solve the black button issue.

Do a clean install, the ROIs work fine in Fetish 11.9.

Zonx: When I fired up 11.9, the tradeskill and calendar windows didn't work. Had to delete eq2ui_community.xml for the calendar and eq2ui_tradeskills.xml for the tradeskill window.

Is this just me or is this an issue with 11.9? They both work fine now that I've deleted those two files.

Thanks again for all the work you do on this.

Both work fine in 11.9 -- do a clean install of it, you probably have old files.

A bug note for the next release Zonx: the cast bar in 11.9 is still movable within the window frame.

Ok, I know this is going to sound rediculous and I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself, but....

If I click on Download with Google Chrome, it downloads FetishNightfall_11_8.zip. If I click on Download with Internet Explorer, it downloads FetishNightfall_11_9.zip. Doesn't matter if I'm logged in or not with Chrome, does the same thing. Bizzare. So, now that I REALLY have v11.9, I'll go install that and return you to your regularly scheduled program. Doh!

Odd, is chrome caching the entire page for some reason perhaps?

Strange. I've also noticed the Journal now has some pretty serious resizing issues. No clue how those came about but needs to be fixed. Could be UIBuilder is doing odd things.

Probably do another update end of next week to address the misc issues.

Now if my server would stop crashing ever hour, double XP might actually mean something :/

Must be. It's still doing it today. If I right click the Download button and say "Open link in incognito window" it gives me v11.9. If I click on it any other way, I get 11.8. At least now I know how to work around it. Could probably fix it by clicking "Clear browsing data" but I'd rather not do that. Bizarre. Did the same thing on my wife's machine as well.

But now that I have 11.9 everything is right with the world. :)

Having a bit of trouble scrolling in the recipe window, its very very slow. Is there a setting I can change for just this window, everything else works great?

I also have the black chat box issue with HQ/Signature quest conversations, I updated the new file and the chat boxes were still black so I deleted that file altogether to revert to standard UI and it still remains black (I am also using the Fetish Classic Goth 8.1 theme if this makes any difference), do you have any suggestions what I could do next?

Fixed the problem now, installed a different UI.
