Creating a new page under MainHud

[pheebau]

I've been creating a new page under MainHud - it is a copy of the player page - I've changed the page name to be different - what I don't understand is why it won't show up - Visible is set to true (default) - Is it ok to create one's own page with different names and expecting them to be displayed as the regular EQ2 standard ones?

Thanks for any help

Custom pages won't show automatically. You can either make another window load yours using OnShow="show_window=(MainHUD.yourwindowname) show_window=(MainHUD.yourwindowname)" or by typing /show_window MainHUD.yourwindowname in the chat window.

At least this is the general rule, there are exceptions when you use some of SOE's unused windows.

Thanks Quib. That helps a lot.

I can show the window if I use /show_window MainHUD.Player2

However I've set the OnShow property of the Experience page to be:

OnShow=show_window=(MainHUD.Player2)

the windows Player2 does not appear upon loading the first MainHUD page...

'Player2' is the name of my new page under MainHUD.

Any idea?

Need to do show_window=(MainHUD.Player2) TWICE. First time it sets a property on the Experience page, second time it actually executes the command.

Thanks DB,

I tried it as well and not good.

Here is what I have tried:

/* With quotes */
OnShow="show_window=(MainHUD.Player2) show_window=(MainHUD.Player2)"

/* Without quotes */
OnShow=show_window=(MainHUD.Player2) show_window=(MainHUD.Player2)

I've the OnShow set on the main Experience page - maybe I should try another page.

if I do
/show_window MainHUD.Player2
then it works

Gonna try with a different page...maybe XP

OnShow sometimes has issues triggering.

Try this:

OnHide="visible=true show_window=(MainHUD.Player2) show_window=(MainHUD.Player2)" visible="false"

DB,

I just tried on the main Experience page and still a no go

I've copy-pasted the following in the OnHide entry field:

"visible=true show_window=(MainHUD.Player2) show_window=(MainHUD.Player2)" visible="false"

(with quotes of course)

Arghhh

Thanks for your help.
