Tooltip fix

[pewpzta]

Can someone please tell me what code needs to be added to the custom ui parts to enable the new tooltip funtion in todays patch. I am not knowledgable enough to create my own mods but understand how to edit them.
I have read that a new font was added and that is what is causing the problem. Supposed fix was to add a line to the eq2ui_font.xml file but I didnt already have that file - so i copied the default one into my directory but no fix. I assume that a line of code needs to be added to all tooltip ui parts ie - hotbar, inventory, bank, market, etc.
Its driving me crazy to play with the default ui - and i am too impatient to wait for all the devs for each ui part I am using to fix them themselves. Somone please help.

This is what you need to do if using a UI.find the following files and type the following to them: ".xml.<UI name>

file names to rewrite:

eq2ui_mainhud_persona
eq2ui_mainhud_examine
eq2_maindus_skill

ex:
eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml.fetish

This will make the UI files inexcessable and will run EQ2's default UI windows.

Mind you when updates come out you will need to re-write,or an easier way would be to overwrite the files with the new ones.

Thank you so much for your timely response. The information you have provided is greatly appreciated.

This may help you (link). I've only tried it with the 3/4 hotbar buttons, though.

My problem was that I wasn't getting any tooltips on any windows.
I was using the Depechenode examine window mod so I just renamed the eq2ui_examine.xml and player_bg1.dds files with a bogus extension and tooltips show on all windows now.

This is due the EQ2UI.fonts.xml in your custom directory not having the line:

<TextStyle Algorithm="Simple" FontName="Zapf Calligraphic 801 Bold BT" Language="english" Name="Font_Tooltip" PointSize="15" PrivateFontPath="UI/Fonts/zcal801b.TTF" UseCachedFont="true"/>

Add this to the file and save, then my bags work.
