Updated Profit ?

[WulffsKrieg]

just a question, when will Profit UI be updated ? I ask due to the latest patch notes state that some custom UI's won't work until they are updated. and am wondering if Profit is one of those UI's that will be / are affected.

Looking at the patch notes, I see two items of interest. The quest icon for mobs has already been patched in and tested on Test. The business about the browser files is news to everyone. If this has been running on Test, it has not been mentioned in patch notes and does not break the browser in Profit. On the other hand, if this is simply being dumped on Live without being run on Test first, then there's no way to guess what will happen until it happens.

In any case, I really hope they are fixing the obvious problems with the in-game browser. For a long time now, using the browser guarantees that the client will crash when I exit the game.

They've completely changed the in-game browser. Before it used to be based off Firefox 1.x, the patch changed it to the awesomium framework (they use the same framework for the Launchpad) so it's completely different and will hopefully work like a normal browser now (thank god, sick of trying to work around the issues the old one caused with website likes EQ2i).

A quick test shows that any old browser windows likely need to be updated (or temporarily reverted to default) to work for now.

I haven't seen any diffs in the default UI on test related to the browser window, so either they didn't put it on test at all or it doesn't involve any changes to the UI XML. The latter might be the case since the engine that renders HTML inside the window's probably completely independent of the UI window around it (think of the window as just a frame around a canvas, you can change what's drawing on the canvas without the frame needing to know a thing about it).

I got a new default browser XML file on test last night, although it has a May date on it. The browser element is called EQIIBrowser now instead of MozillaBrowser. Not much else changed, except the about: URIs would not work so I had to do some shuffling around on custom code. EQ2i does indeed look good now.

This is literally the only change in the default XML:

Old:
<MozillaBrowser dynamicdata_back="BrowserState.Back" dynamicdata_forward="BrowserState.Forward" dynamicdata_progress="BrowserState.Progress" dynamicdata_refresh="BrowserState.Refresh" dynamicdata_status="BrowserState.Status" dynamicdata_stop="BrowserState.Stop" dynamicdata_uri="BrowserState.URI" Location="2,86" Name="Browser" PackSize="a,a" ScrollExtent="874,548" Size="874,548" />


New:
<EQIIBrowser dynamicdata_back="BrowserState.Back" dynamicdata_forward="BrowserState.Forward" dynamicdata_progress="BrowserState.Progress" dynamicdata_refresh="BrowserState.Refresh" dynamicdata_status="BrowserState.Status" dynamicdata_stop="BrowserState.Stop" dynamicdata_uri="BrowserState.URI" Location="2,86" Name="Browser" PackSize="a,a" ScrollExtent="874,548" Size="874,548" />
