What am I doing wrong?!
OK Im about ready to give up on this, but before I do, maybe someone can tell me what I did wrong or where my mistake is.
Below you will find a screenshot of my custom ui folder, it is within C:/program files/sony/everquest II/ui/ziggyui. All files downloaded were extracted to that folder. According to eq2 map the UI directory is ZIGGYUI. SO, Im wondering if someone could PLEASE tell me why I am suddenly getting the default ui? It happens if I run map updater it happens when I don't run updater. I have gone over this thing so many times Im seeing stars. it is driving me nuts! I have uninstalled and re installed so many times I have lost count, gone over each folder at least a dozen times, checked the eq2.ini file, checked and rechecked each individual zip file...read every readme and still Im getting the default. Im to the point now where Im almost ready to just play with the default UI. I HATE THE DEFAULT UI! Sorry for shouting. Im just very frustrated and really want to get in and play RoK. My hope is that it is someone can look and see something I have inadvertantly overlooked. it's either that or every single piece mod I happened to choose no longer works and the game is redirecting and just using the default. Anyway Im rambling but here is the screen shot: Thank you to anyone who might be able to help! a frazzled and worn out Lexi |
Your UI folder is ok, you now need to turn you attention to the eq2.ini file located in your x:\Sony\EveryQuest II\ folder. Make sure it is pointing to ziggyUI.
|
Have you manually edited any of the pieces, or verified that it works when not using EQ2MAPs?
If a file is messed up, the game will revert to default. |

cl_ui_skinname ZiggyUI cl_ui_subdir UI/ cl_movie_enabled 0 I know in school, Way back in the day, Caps were important, Im not sure if it makes a difference here or not... Is ziggyui the same as ziggyUI or ZIGGYui or ZIGGYUI or even ZiggyUI I might be grasping at straws here but it would be just my luck to have something that simple (yet that important) messed up. |

I tried it with eq2 map and I tried it bypassing eq2 map and my UI is still "frelled". |
rename the file you edited, that's likely the cause.

Should I have not done this?:confused: |

I don't see the eq2ui_mainhud_shutdown.xml in your screenshot.
Can you attach any files you edited here? If there are any errors that break the xml structure in your files the game will not load your custom UI. |

After going into my ui directory and removing the shutdown xml entirely then replacing the (as written) version of the bookmarks.xml, almost all of my ui pieces work!:nana: The map is not quite right yet and my persona window is frelled, I actually get an error message with that one but at this point everything seems to be good to go! I don't know which was the culprit since I adjusted them both before trying to log in but that will teach me NOT to try and mess with things I don't have a clue about. Well Im off to go put back all my in game preferences now and (MAYBE) actually get to play a little bit! THANK YOU!!!! Lexi |

Your bookmark file is missing a closing quotation mark in line 30 ("GOF" link). |

Yes, that line was missing a " and a / like this:
<Data GoFlag="1" Text="GOF" href="http://www.axiomfactor.com/gof/"/> This file should work. I recommend using Notepad++ with the XML plugin for editing the XML files. The XML plugin can check your syntax for you. |
Quote:
If you use the ProfitUI updater, make sure to go into Settings, Ignored Files and double-click the bookmarks file (and any others you've edited) so they turn red. That'll keep the updater from downloading them again. If you ignore files, watch the version notes for signs those files have been changed and need refreshed and re-edited. |

I guess the days of doing my editing with plain old Notepad are in the wind. I will get it right now! Thank you again! Lexi |

Not to seem flipant but I don't use Profit... I don't use any mod "set" I have several pieces from various folks, like Ricks expirence and persona window, as well as Othesus' browser and Milquetowst's infocenter Uberfuzzy's clock and compass and Seagoats KOOL eyeball target ring.(to name a few) I have perused the various "sets" and although there are some things about all of them I like, there are some things I don't care for... none of them are, for lack of a better word, customizable enough for me. I have 2 widescreen monitors running either 1680x1050 or 1920x1440 and run in full screen I don't like a lot of clutter on my screen, I like things compact and "flowing" but I also want them at a glance visable I have bad eyes so even though smaller is "neater" it's not always easy to view on the run or during a fight. I am AFAIK using the most updated EQ2 map it is the auto update version. |
The RickF7666 Persona Window hasn't been updated for GU 40 yet. It looks like he's still around so he'll probably update it at some point.
The default persona window got a lot more information in GU 40 so it may work fine for you. You could also try my persona window here. It displays every available stat and you can hide some of the information if you don't want to see it. |

Thank you for letting me know I am NOT crazy, well I am, but not losing it to the point of messing up the whole ball of wax. :D |
If you can live without the factions tab you can also just edit rick's window such that it says at the end of the second line:
... version="2.0.0"> Quote:

As I said in my last post Im not gonnamess with any of the files, If it aint broke, Im not touching it, and when it is broke I will leave it up to the "experts" So I have to log to char screen when I swap toons, been doing that anyway when I swap accounts and there isn't any stand alone mod that would help me with that. I will most definately keep my eye on the mods you guys are doing, kinda been taking a second look at the sets lately. But for now... Im semi content with using things status quo.:D Now hubby is after me to get into game and let him show me some new things so...I am off! Again, thank you all so VERY MUCH! Lexi |
