Delete the skills xml file?

Anyone else has this? I dont have any custom UI files that messes around with the skills window. Any new line of code that should be added to like eq2ui.xml etc?

I've had a new version of the skill window for about 8 hours now... but Guk is STILL locked, so i cant even check to see if its working correctly...

Once I can get in and check it out, I will upload the new OCD Complete.

Make a character on another server that is up, just to test it out?

I am using the defualt skill window, have been forever, not custom at all. The new window shows NOTHING but teo icons and two black boxes. NO tabs at all. I have deleted and redownloaded/full scan files 40 times now.. NO CHANGES. GRRRR

Jaxel · #7 06-28-2005, 03:26 PM

good idea... it works, uploading now.

Like I said, I had this problem, but now I don't.

It turned out I had an old eq2ui.xml file in the folder so it didn't include the new elements. I deleted it from the folder and logged back in and voila, it worked as expected. If you have ever tried to use the UI builder to modify a file directly in that folder, this may be the case.

depechenode · #9 06-28-2005, 03:39 PM

LOL ok, I need to wake up.. I never even thought about the equi.xml file ty Deacon!!

Mikeablah · #10 06-28-2005, 03:49 PM

I mentioned something about the eq2ui.xml file and I am wondering what is the new line i should add.

You probably just want to delete it from your custome UI directory. I doubt you have edited the eq2ui.xml file directly so it should be okay. If that concernes you, rename it to eq2uiBak.xml then give it a try. If it works out ok, and I think it should, you can then delete it.

I have the bars now, but no tabs at the top in the skill window.

If you are using a Fetish Quest Journal, all you need to do is modify the new skills window and only one property needs to be changed.

The setting is the TabPane setting under Style. Here add:

/Fetish.TabStyles.tab for the property RATHER than the default :
/Journals.JournalsQuest.TabbedPaneStyle

Once you do this, the new skills works awesome!!!

Can you please explain that in Dummies terms? I have no idea where you go to change this setting.

UI builder you change this;
or

1) Copy the default equi_mainhud_skills.xml from the /ui/default folder and place the copy inyo YOUR custom ui folder.

2) Open up note pad and load in the equi_mainhud_skills.xml (from YOUR custom directory)

3) Use FIND to search for Journals.JournalsQuest.TabbedPaneStyle

4) Now overwrite Journals.JournalsQuest.TabbedPaneStyle
with Fetish.TabStyles.tab

5) Save the file and restart EQ2.

The only problem I see now with the skills window, is it does NOT like the number 7. When you have skills that involve 7's, they seem to get chopped off. Hopefully this can be easily corrected.

Example:
skill 103/107 displays 103/10..
skill 107/112 displays 107/12..
skill 31/37 displays as 31/3..

working on seeing if I can fix it thru UIBuilder.

ps. incase you turned to last page prior to reading first page, my step by step fix for those using fetish journals is the post prior to this on page one.

Thanks So much.

Mikeablah · #18 06-28-2005, 05:27 PM

Any idea why in the pic above there is no background? Im not sure what file is needed for that.

depechenode · #19 06-28-2005, 05:31 PM

Make sure if you are using a custom equi.xml file you add ALL the new .xml windows to that equi.xml

Posted earlier in this thread are the items that need to be added.

Ok upon doing this yes you will get the skill window up namely because you are using the default file with a single change. Yet when you boot up the places where the progress bars are nothing but black windows. So then use this.

<include>eq2ui_shadowstylesnew.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_specialelements.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_arenachampions.xml</include>

to the eq2ui.xml file you're using.
(Usually the one in your custom directory)

Ok now the files listed to include are the ones that were just added in todays update. This will give you a working skills window with fetish tabs. Working on changing the border from the default so if anyone has any suggestions reply, so we can get everyone workin.

OK GUYS I HAVE DONE ALL THESE STEPS AND STILL MY SKILLS WINDOW SHOWS UP WITH THE TABS BUT NO WORDS JUST BLACK BOXES

loki_racer · #22 06-29-2005, 10:14 AM

Thank you so much guys.

I thought I had tried everything. Took a look at my custom ui eq2ui.xml (which I had never looked at before) and added those includes.

If I delete the eq2ui.xml in the custom UI folder, will it use the one found in the Default folder? If so, will it still load the custom ui pieces?
