DrumsUI main menu addition
 

I finished whipping this up earlier today, and thought I'd share the screenie for it.



This window is accessed by pressing the "Menu" button on the StatBar, rather than popping up the default EQ2 menu. I've added a button to access the stock EQ2 menu however (plus you can just keybind it). I wanted a central place to access all options/useful windows, as well as a few common/"popular" in-game settings to toggle.

I don't want to cluster this with too much more, but I'd like to hear any feedback of what you guys would like to see added to a window like this.
So have at it...

looks good to me,maybe toggle bags or show map?

This looks like a winner to me. Since moving from ProfitUI to DrumUI,I've missed the small window with these basic controls. especially the night vision ability. If I read your posting correctly, this will pop up when we click on the menu option in the stat bar - COOL!

Do you think it can be available by this evening? };->

I'm in the midst of updating the manual and updater versions now.

*edit* actually ran into a bug, so will delay it until later.

Just in case it wasn't clear, I was joking. In no way do I want you to push something out that is not ready.

Well it was done, until I found one of the sliders had a bug. :p

I am guessing that the "Show Auto Attack" button shows the Auto Attack window so that you can change it's position while not actually in combat? If this is the case, what about one for the Heroic Opportunities window that appears while fighting?

To be honest I haven't actually checked to make sure there's not some other way than being in combat to show these windows so I can move them around.

Someone suggested bag toggling... I think it's easy enough to just press "b" to open bags.. I don't think I've ever actually clicked an open bags button on any window that has one.

Looking forward to it. :)

It's mainly there so people can find where there AutoAttack bar is incase they lose it or want to set it up initially. I'll see about adding in the HO window.

Just two things...

The "Player Titles" checkbox just offers off and on (horizontal), but not on (vertical), which is my preference.

The other thing is a nitpick....When I select the menu, then select "EQ2Menu", this menu should not stay on the screen. It just looks sloppy to have the options menu still on the screen after selecting the EQ2 menu.

Good feedback. I'll probably switch that checkbox into a 3-way toggle between Off, horz,& vertical.
And I think I'll agree that the EQ2Menu button should probably close the DrumsUI menu. I don't really use the EQ2Menu ever so it hadn't occurred to me.

Cheers.

Its weird for me when I press Menu nothing happens at all..

I use the EQ2 menu sometimes, and I now have a shortkey to pop it, just because the button does not work :(

Do you use the Updater? Are you blocking the eq2ui_custom.xml file? You need to make sure your files are up-to-date and included in there for the DrumsUI main menu to popup.

Aha, I am guessing this is why my Menu button is currently doing nothing. I came here to report it, but looking at the above posts I guess I need to download a new file?

I did just run the Drums Updater btw and there were no new files.

Add the following to eq2ui_custom
