Install eq2c.xml file documentation
Here is the documentation on the henchman.xml (setup) file for UI authors if they chose to use it.
Types of nodes and descriptions: <option> nodes can only have <file> nodes as children. <file> nodes can only have <include> nodes as children. <include> nodes can only have <include> nodes as children. <core> node can only have <file> nodes as children. Global variables
uipath property paths. These are just an example to give you and idea how this property works

New beta build ready for you guys to test out. I'll start putting it here as I am to lazy to post it in 3 places lol.. Check your PM inbox for the PW.

Ok, I moved EQ2 Companion out of it's dev directory into its own and I started seeing a strang file called iphist.dat. After doing some searching, I found out that its caused by some managed code I used to detect if a connection to the Internet is present. It is a INDY control TidIPWatch and if you don't' set the property keephistory to False it creates this file. This new build has that property set to false so you shouldn't be getting that file any longer. If you do let me know.

Small typo on eq2interface login prompt, nothing major...
"Usernam" should be Username: (see picture) How to I close the browser that opens when I choose to "Add" and interface? What if I change my mind and choose not to add something, looks like the window only goes away if you download something? *Also how do you feel and others feel if maybe the UI installer was based off your favorites list? This way you just mark interfaces as favorites on the site and the patcher will keep them up to date instead of popping open a browser. looking good though! |
I think the favorites list could be downlaoded on first start to let the user mark those that should be kept up to date. But, say someone has several complete UI's as favorites but is only using one at a time, you should not update both and make a terrible mix out of them, so it could not be automatic. :)

There is a cancel button on the bottom of the add window.. *points Dolby in the direction of a optometrist* Ok ok, it is a small button I'll give you that:) About the users favorites list; check you PM inbox. |
I was thinking about the click to cure file EQ2 Companion generates today. Would it be better for it to generate the actual page it self with the buttons and all and let the user mod the side and etc. or just leave it like it is and let them load the script via the OnHoverIn event? If left like it is, the mod author can only place his button in a particular place. If I generate the page with buttons and all with the script already programmed into the OnPress of the buttons, the mod author is free to place this file any where he so desires.
I’m leaning toward and like the idea of given the mod author freedom to place the buttons any where he wants and generating the <page><button>.. .. ..</page file. I’ll yield to you guys on this. What do you think? I want to get this nailed down before I go ahead and code the raid click to cast class. |
In my opinion just provide the spell name and nothing else (your spell1=""), then the mod author, if he wants to use your feature, can use his/her own code.

In that case the user can't create their own script. The way it is now, they can add tell to any channel, cast one spell and put one in que, with out having to worry about if they formatted it correctly, used the correct commands, etc. EQ2 Companion does all that for them through script variables. I suppose I could add a drop down with the 3 options and the mod author could specify what option to use.. |
Ok here is a rebuild where the UI's a user maintains is determined by the UI's they have added to their favorite UI's.
There is two ways you can add UI's to be maintained. Adding a UI to your favorites list or by using the Add button as normal in EQ2 Companion. Once you select yes to add the UI, it will add that UI to your favorites list here on this site.. edit: Updated this build to include instructions how to perminantly remove the UI being deleted from being listed by EQ2 Companion. |

Ill try'ed to move around my chat channels when this happends.
If i press ok, the program resumes. Seems to happends every time , 2 moves. --------------------------- Sorry , one more :) Happends when i start. As you can se EQ2i page is loaded so it have access to the net. |

Do you have a firewall of some sort running? The web page you see is displayed by TWebBrowser control witch is basically a mini IE so, most firewalls will let it pass data. All other files are handled in house by tcp connections so the could be being blocked. |

Ill change the setting and try again :) |

Hi peeps,
Sorry I have made zero input here so far :o .. Been very busy elsewhere on the net trying to earn a few bucks... anyway this is what I have found... When you load the companion the banner add loads up in a browser window "http://ads.eq2interface.com/ad-728-global.html" that was the last one I got .. (I know this has been stated before, but it didnt read like they said it was just the banner add that loaded in and nothing else) Also you have a few typos.. EQ2 Companion settings Check boxes 3 & 4 should read Browser Bookmarks Quick Character Switch Also one major gripe... You either need to make the height smaller or make it resizeable, as I am missing whatever is at the very bottom of the window if I have my menu bar in view in XP I am running 1440X900 @ 60 refresh and have a dpi of 120 I figure my 120 dpi is probably causing the problem.. So rather than make it detect dpi.. just set scroll bars if needed on the main container or make the whole lot resizeable .. as a suggestion.. Looking good though, nice work :) |

edit: Just set my desktop to 120DPI, and OMG.. My desktop is set to 1680x1050 and every thing is SUPER LARGE!! The only thing I see not scaling good is buttons that have more then on word in them. I'll make the autosize so the next will fit in them. But I do see what you are talking about, I'll make it so it can be resize. Also added any url that matches the filter 'ads' will be allowed |
