ProfitUI Reborn v4.3

12 November 2007

GU40/RoK ready - do not use before your server is patched to GU40!

Changelog 4.2.1 - 4.3 (12 November 2007)

• Updated a number of windows for GU40 compatibility and features, including some interesting new features on the tradeskill window.
• Please delete eq2ui.xml, eq2ui_mainhud.xml, and eq2ui_mainhud_achievements.xml from your \ProfitUI folder, these files are no longer part of ProfitUI and not compatible with GU40
• Modders note: All custom windows that were previously located in the MainHUD tree were moved to the new Custom tree
• Modders note: The subclass detection for the persona window is no longer performed via _ProfitUI_Styles.xml
• Fixed player window "frame only" mode sometimes not taking effect after logging in
• The optional zone name display below the clock window now display the region within a zone instead of the entire zone's name if there is such a region. This is a RoK feature, I do not expect other zones to have regions, meaning for most zones you will not notice a change.
• Persona window updated with more stats. While the default UI's persona window has received an upgrade as well, the ProfitUI window still displays more stats.
• Bottom bar has not yet been updated with the new stats, but will eventually be.
• Preconfiguration for POIfinder has been removed since I have not yet seen the new EQ2MAP and I do not know whether it will be compatible. It will be added back in once I know/once it has been updated.
• The font size for the stack number display in your bags has been slightly increased to help readability. Unfortunately I cannot add a shadow to the font, which would be necessary to create better contrast on very light items such as ashen roots. I encourage you to /feedback this, requesting the possibility to add a ShadowStyle.
• InfoCenter now has button that opens the ProfitUI FAQ in a in-game browser window.
• DisplaySettings page was removed from InfoCenter since ProfitUI has its own superior display settings code
• InfoCenter now includes Sword of Destiny walkthrough compiled by mortis42
• Added heart/shard request to macro button 3 for assassins and moved the /assist macro to button 5 in _ProfitUI_QuickRaidButtons.txt

Update:

Fixes for v4.3 are available in v4.3.1.

I deleted the 3 files but the updater tries to reinstall them. I stopped it but do I need to add those to the ignore list?

[gm9]

ProfitUI Reborn v4.3 is not yet on the updater.

I will add it around the time servers come up or as soon as I'm back from work, whatever comes first.

[Shasriel]

if we do a clean install, are these files already deleted?

[gm9]

of course

[gm9]

v4.3 is now also on the updater.

[Sugarbaby2504]

I deleted the 3 files but it still says cant connect and wants me to change my proxy! Any advice?

[Othesus]

While the auto-update server is down you'll just have to download the full 4.3 manual version.

Even after downloading it manually and using a clean install, my client still looks like the screenshot above. Is that the best we can hope for right now?

[zaab]

No. I renamed ProfitUI folder under eq2 to ProfitUI-1, then downloaded the zip file, cut and pasted from the zip file the ProfitUI folder to the UI folder under eq2, ran the map updater and went exploring RoK.
The map update took the longest.

I was having a similar problem to the one Momo-mordain and others reported: top / bottom bars were missing, no health / power bars, broken compass and clock, etc.

I have installed and reinstalled Profit 3 or 4 times, and think that I have found the source of the problem: addons. In my case, I'm using Just Press Enter 1.9 and Start Button SOGA & Translation for International Server 1.3.1.

If I start by deleting the ProfitUI directory, install a fresh copy (including the subclass backdrops), and don't install those add-ons, the top/bottom bars work again, and the persona window also displays stats again.

The faction page is still blank, but it's definitely playable. I have tested the pop-up messages that Skuall is referring to while zoning and harvesting, and in both cases, they work. My wife (who was beta-testing) says she never saw the window frame that Skuall reported, and doesn't see it now. If it doesn't go away, you may want to start a new thread about that.

EQ2Map problems should be reported to the appropriate forum, but I've installed the EQ2Map Auto-Updater and the POIFinder and they didn't affect the UI in the same way that the other 2 add-ons did.

As for the auto-updater, I've just ignored it for the time being and have been using the 4.3 download right from the ProfitUI portal.

Follow the link above, download the Profit UI 4.3.zip. Unpack the file. There are other ordner inside the downloaded zip file. Go in the profit ui ordner copy all the files in there, go to your Sony Ordner most time c:/programm/Sony/EverquestII/ui/ProfitUI and paste all the files in this ordner (which were in the zip Profit ui folder). Owerwrite everything.

After that delete the files which gm9 told to delete:
"Please delete eq2ui.xml, eq2ui_mainhud.xml, and eq2ui_mainhud_achievements.xml from your \ProfitUI folder, these files are no longer part of ProfitUI and not compatible with GU40"

Thats ist. Start your game again.

After i updated my profit ui manual and deleted the files i have no longer problemes with them.

No need to use the auto updater in this case

Have fun

This is what ive written in another post

[Rasaraja]

Just want to say thanks for the quick fixing.

The EQII update really FUBAR'd things, but the fix was fast coming.

Downloaded the new - blew away the old, deleted any xml that needed deleting and - nice - all perfect.

Thanks again.

I am using the manual install version of the UI and am having trouble with the faction part of the persona window. As it is now it just has my characters name and the rest is blank.

I deleted the UI/ProfitUI folder, unpacked the Nov. 12th update as normal, re-added the background images, and confirmed non of the three red files are in the ProfitUI directory.

Did I miss something?

[gm9]

Yes, this post in this crowded thread. I'll add the info to the first post.

So if I want the faction tab to work I have to use the auto updater version now? Any way I can get copies of the missing files so i can just keep using the manual updater?

[macgregs]

Same question as Macro above...can the correct files not be made available in manual download?

[Xcelon]

I cant seem to get the info center to show any info at all, I have the tabs but nothing shows up.
this is only since the 4.3 and I am using the updater which is working great but even updated yesterday and not seeing anything
any ideas?
