server_name_eq2_uisettings.ini keeps overwriting itself

[cheung]

Hi- I just reformated my computer- I had LAFFS-LITE installed working fine (was on 1600x1200 so i had to mess around with it) but it worked fine. Now I see that Perdition_BottomV8 supports 1600x1200 - so i install it... and the files are all scattered.. so I copy the file information again for server_name_eq2_uisettings.ini- go in game windows scattered again... then campout go look in the file and it reset itself to a one line code. I have copied over and over and it just keeps reseting. i am stumped. (of course I have the file named correctly "befallen_cheung_eq2_uisettings.ini) Thanks in advanced

EQ2 is completely closed, correct?

you mean when I change things around? yes- I have logged in and out to many times to count... this even happens when i have eq2.ini going to default... it won't show everything- I just installed the damn game fresh not 2 hours ago.

when point to default or the custom ui... the uilog states this

Default
Couldn't load eq2ui_listboxrow_template.xml

PERDV8
Encountered data outside of container tags
Couldn't load eq2ui_listboxrow_template.xml
Encountered data outside of container tags

ok try this
after install (or now if it is installed) but before entering eq2:
1) delete any ini files you need to
2) copy the ini file you want
3) rename it properly
4) enter eq2

that should set you straight. remember if you install the ui then enter eq2, leave eq2, you already have the ini file set up and when you copy it won't let you rename it since the file exists.

I have done that- I even just took the time to totally reinstall EQ2 a second time tonight- still same thing. It seems too that eq2 changed their default ui from yesterday. but everytime I load PERDV8 I have scattered windows and not everything is there... it's getting frustrating.

[cheung]

Anybody else have any ideas? I am really in a stump for this- as I said before even my default UI is all mixed around.

if eq2 finds an ini there it will use it and modify it when you change it in game. it will not overwrite the old one with a new one unless you get in there. now are you using /loadui? you need to set the eq2.ini file too. if you need support for laff's work please take this to the right thread in the complete set release area =) also screen shots and the ini files would help. (though, he can't work with 1600 by 1200 hehe)
