I got that too. The icon and the remaining time for spells with timers flickers, the spell name does not. I don't see a system in the flickering though, it is pretty much random.

**gm9** · #**627** 06-15-2006, 11:16 AM

I see it as well now. Also happens with the DefaultUI, so nothing I can do.

**gm9** · #**628** 06-15-2006, 11:56 AM

Here we go, ProfitUI 2.5.2. I'd like to call it the "end of all bugs" release but I'm sure you'll tell me otherwise.

Changelog 2.5.1 -> 2.5.2 :
FIXED: Bag positions were not saving for everybody
FIXED: Broker window, sell tab list could not be sorted by "Listed" and "Price"
FIXED: Group window effects on self were not showing correctly
FIXED: Tradeskill window recipe list and expand buttons working correctly again
FIXED: Timer window is functional again

Changed a lot of fonts around again in response to feedback on this

Updated Milquetowst InfoCenter to latest version.

DefaultUI settings for 1280x1024 adjusted, default bags/boxes locations now correct for 32 slot boxes

ixoth · #**629** 06-15-2006, 12:24 PM

Hi,

By pressing 'B' key I get bags opened - all but one bag. I wonder why?

This is for 2.5.1, haven't yet tried 2.5.2

**gm9** · #**630** 06-15-2006, 12:51 PM

Lol, I'm a dork, I completely missed that they put the search for the store owner back into the DefaultUI (/feedback ftw). Give me a few minutes, new release is incoming.

No idea for the bags, ixoth, sorry. 2.5.2 won't help you there, the command has nothing to do with the UI.

Alcarion · #**631** 06-15-2006, 12:58 PM

Ok, finally got this working.

Some things I'd like some answers too if possible:

Why cannot I have more than 3 hotbars open?
What on earth is that block of stuff that shows when I click on the clock???
Moving the hotbars was an extreme aggravation! I'm not even sure how I finally was able to move them.
Why are there no less than 3 displays for anything I target? And these are all over the screen.
Decorative 'frames' around target displays cannot be removed with any command.
Hide Hotbar button only hides one and it's the primary only, I think.
How do I know for sure that I have the right resolution chosen? See no option to select this anywhere.

*If I install 2.5.2, will all the work I've done on getting this operating as I wish be saved or do I have to go through all this again?

What is the meaning for three rectangles in a line? One shows my status, the others show targets, but a mouse-over on any of them (even with something else targeted) reveals a pop-up with more info on my character. I think there is some redundancy going on.

The upper left corner display features are nowhere explained. Nothing shows on mouse over. Concentration bar uses colors for default exp progression. The XP bar (or data) makes no sense to me at all. Also, I dislike the pixelated numbers and text and the percentages of whatever mean nothing to me.

On one display (possibly pet status) red type is used on a neon green bar. This is a major no-no in graphic design as it will activate red/green color-blindness in many male players. Doesn't effect me, but I know many who would be. Also, red type on green (while complimentary colors) is discordant, but the font is so small, the green + red blend making brown and unreadable.

The italic, brush font I dislike very much--especially when I have to see it in all those redundant status displays.

HO flashing display is locked in place directly behind where main chat goes! I have to move chat somewhere else???

help, please

thanks
Alc

Don't be so harsh mate, its still good UI despite some minor things.

Theramor · #**633** 06-15-2006, 01:18 PM

Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for all the hard work you've done on this UI.

Its my UI of choice now, partly because of the looks and appearance. But also because your in here posting and fixing and had an updated UI ready for LU24.

Again......thanks

Laenny · #**634** 06-15-2006, 01:27 PM

First of all: Thanks for this really GREAT UI. I really like it a lot.

But: With the latest version (currently 2.5.2) and the new (non-antialiased) font, there are a few minor issues:

Some background: I am a german player and play on a german server. As you probably guess, some ingame texts have been localized (there has been the rumour of a fully translated game, when we bought it, but...).
For Example South-Qeynos is "Süd-Qeynos" in German. But the pixel-font (non-antialiased) font does not include glyphs for the german umlauts (ä,ö,ü etc.). So they are missing, for example on the Zone Display in the compass.
You should try to avoid this font alltogether if you wanted to support players of other language versions (french has the same problem with different characters).

Thanks a lot,
please keep up the work,
and best regards,
Laenny

**gm9** · #**635** 06-15-2006, 01:39 PM

Alcarion, no comment, and please use another UI.

Laenny, good point, I admit that I forgot about that (being German as well, btw, but that language chaos on the German servers was too much for me, so I'm on Runnyeye). However, in v2.5.2 I had already changed back to the standard font so it should be working now.

You can have more than three hotbars open. Right click one of the open ones and select the proper choice to get more. I have like six hotbars open at any given time.

Moving hotbars is, indeed, tricky. When I need to shuffle them around I just move one of the skill icons out of the way and use the empty square to drag the hotbars.

The "block of stuff" that appears when you click the clock is a set of timers. You can stretch the window out a bit and you'll see more options for setting various lengths etc. For more explanations look for Mother's Timer Window - there's a link on the Profit download page.

I'm not sure what you mean by only having 3 displays when you target something.

I haven't seen any decorative frames around target that didn't look like they belong there either but try to play with the Frame settings in the window option. There's a dropdown there that has up to three choices ranging from no frame at all to frame & titlebar.

I've never tried to hide hotbars so I'm not sure what the problem is with that either.

There is no "right" resolution for this UI. It's adaptable to most resolutions. I know some windows can be tricky to move around but all of them *are* movable so just spend a few minutes cursing at the screen and you'll get it right hehe. I play at 1600x1200 and have my own little setup, including the letterbox thingies so it's all down to how you want it to look. There's no *need* to use the ini files that comes with the download, though. You won't miss out on anything if you don't use them.

If you install the latest version you will not lose any setup you've done with the windows. Some windows might be locked or have Click Through enabled but the positioning will be the same unless you decide to use one of the default ini files.

The three rectangles is You -> Target -> Target of Target. And yes, a certain amount of redundancy it is so hide it if you don't want to use it. I personally love it since it can sit nice and snug near my chatwindows and hotbuttons so I can keep an eye on things without having to look to the top of the screen but hey, the UI is mucho adaptable so hide it if you don't use it hehe.

The upper left display holds your experience gain numbers. Depending on how your frame options are set (Frame, Frame & Titlebar etc) you will either see a long row of fancy colored numbers (your tradeskill, adventure, guild, advancement point - experience displayed in % ) that you can mouse over to see your current personal status, runspeed, power and health regen etc. If you have Frame Only (or possibly "None" - I forget, typing from memory) it will be locked on the runspeed/regen page and mousing over will not do anything (xp display will be hidden).

The pixelated font is a matter of taste really and I'm not extatic about it either but I can live with it. The rest of the UI is fantastic so I can deal with that hehe. You can change it but that requires a lot of fiddling with fonts and xml code so I can't help you there - not quite sure how to do it myself. Same goes for the italic brush font - it's changable but someone smarter than me will have to explain how it's done.

Pet window is nothing that I use but you can always revert back to the original petwindow by browsing into your ProfitUI folder and deleting the file named like so: eq2ui_mainhud_pet.xml. Deleting that file will load the default petwindow next time you log on.

If your HO window seems unmovable make sure that the boxes in the Window Options labled "Locked" and "Click Through Enabled" are *not* ticked. The click through thing has a tendency to make things a bit frustrating in any UI hehe. Either do it the next time someone fires a HO or press F10 once to make all on-screen windows visible. Press F10 again (I think twice) to bring the ui back to its normal state.

Phew, that's all I can help you with. I understand that it's aggravating and frustrating but once you get the hang of it it's not that hard. Also, gm9 is a player just like you and is doing all this work volountarily and on his free time so even if you feel annoyed try to be gentle.

aigor · #**637** 06-15-2006, 01:48 PM

what can say u?? good good work i like always more, im my guild i've suggested to install this Ui and many guildm8 thank me.
I want know one thig there's alittle isue with bar bottom when i put mouse over ( atk, mit,avoid etcc) doesn't compare tooltip.Can u fix?^^
enjoy^^

**gm9** · #**638** 06-15-2006, 01:49 PM

Here's the broker window patch, Dolby went lightspeed and took 10 seconds to validate this (thanks!), so get it at the download location.

Changelog 2.5.2 -> 2.5.3 :
Added possibilty to search for seller name to broker window again (I swear this wasn't working before...grumble...).
FIXED: Font and Font color in pet window had accidentally been changed

I'm going to get some playtime now so unless I notice anything fundamental you'll be spared another update tonight.

Edit to add:
aigor,, thanks mate, and dunno how I managed to break the tooltips but I'll fix this (no extra release for this though, and you can just use the bar from 2.4.1 in the meantime).

Nydauth · #**639** 06-15-2006, 02:03 PM

Answers for Alcarion,

1) I have 6 hotbars open at once and you can add more as you please, not sure where you are going wrong on that one. Just right click on a current hotbar and hightlight add new hotbar.
2) If you had read the release note below the main download for Profit Reborn you would have seen it is Mother's timer. You can use it to remind yourself or group when a zone lockout is over or a particular mod has respawned.
3) When you right click the hotbars you have to uncheck the box click thru. I also clear one hotkey in the bar im trying to move to make some dead space since there is not any on the outsides of the bar. So remove an icon and click the space where it was to move the hotbar where you like.
4) As far as I know there are only two displays for the Target. The target window at the top shows a detailed con of your target and the implied. The target bar above the hotbar icons shows your target / self / and implied. This is so that you don't have to take your eyes away from the bottom of the screen when in combat ( which I find very useful ). If you don't like it you can always move it off to the side and turn the window opac off until its invisible.
5) There are two types of con modes "Detailed" and "Simple" , to remove the decorative frames go into your options menu and go to UI tab and then scroll down to name and chatbubble section. That is where you can change the frame from simple to detailed.
6) I have never used the hide hotbar before so no comment on that one.
7) Well if you did not have to select a resolution at the start then your install was most likely not correct. Re-install Profit Reborn II just extract everything in the zip to your C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II folder. It will ask you if you want to overwrite the files, click yes to all. Now in that same folder C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II find the file named "servername_Alcarion_eq2_uisettings" just add .bak or .old to the end of that name and you should be all set. When you enter the game again it should ask you what resolution you wish to use. Yes it will undo all of the work you did to adjust the UI before. If you wish to return to the UI setup you worked on delete the new "servername_alcarion_eq2_uisettings file and after its deleted take the .bak or .old off the one you had before and it will load the UI the way you set it up before.

Damn you Pixi beat me to it.. lol well I'll post this anyways maybe some of the info helps.

Oh forgot Alcarion for your HO box your most likely going to have to try and resize the chat window smaller just for a minute so that you can get to the HO box to move it then resize the chat back. As for the red lettering on green background, I don't have any red on green in my install as far as I'm aware of.

NOTE to gm9 I was unable to move the chat windows at all, created a new chat window and was unable to move that one as well, so for the meantime I am using Zchat window. Also I didn't notice until others brought it up but in the maintained spell window the target of the spell is not being displayed ( the middle text line ) not sure if this was a result of the LU24 update.

Thanks again for everything gm9, happy venturing my friend

Well, time for Pixi to whine a little haha. I have 2.5.3 installed.

Broker Window:
The list at the bottom of the window (Your Available Coin) is lying to me. It's filled with 9's hehe. Not that I would mind to own 999999 plat but alas, I don't.

Chat Window:
The little X in the top right corner doesn't hide on mouse-out anymore. I have a fully transparent chatwindow that doesn't do anything but display damage done and damage taken. Previous chatwindows would hide fine and I'd be left with just a string of green and red numbers but now I have an X floating in the middle of the screen hehe. I've tried toying with the frame options but the only way I've found to hide it so far is to make the entire window transparent - including the text.

I've reverted back to 2.4.1 chatwindow for now so no big deal, I just wanted to let ya know. Other than that I couldn't be happier - love the UI and all you brainiac's never cease to amaze me with your skills.

Edit: 2.5.3 baggies are working a treat. No dead space either. Thanks.

Poochymama · #**641** 06-15-2006, 02:23 PM

I am having trouble installing it and nothing seems to help. I am in the process up unziping all the files to my eq2 directory. In my UI folder I created a new folder called profitupdate.

All the unzipping is going fine. I click on the file and then go over and hit copy this file and copy it to the folder.

All goes fine until near the very end. The last 10 or so files will never copy. Says

File Exists

then

Error occured while trying to copy

Calain80 · #**642** 06-15-2006, 02:25 PM

I also haven't posted for some time.

I just wanted to thank you again for you hard work! Al lot of people in my guild didn't like the new default Broker, but cause of you I didn't even have to bother with it.

Thanks again!

ps. It might be, that it is fixed already, or that you can not change it. But you can't select you class on the localised servers with 2.5.1. But this is not so important.

Nydauth · #**643** 06-15-2006, 02:32 PM

Poochymama not sure what you problem is. My only advice would to be to download the UI file again 2.5.3 to make sure your copy did not get corrupted during download. Then once you have the .zip file just unzip it to your C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II folder, there is no need to create a new folder on your own called profit update most likely if you do that it will not know where to look for the files need to load Profit UI. Hope this helps

Poochymama · #**646** 06-15-2006, 02:49 PM

Still keep getting the error message no matter what file I try and copy it to.

File exists

then it says

Target cannot handle this type of document

nomad980 · #**647** 06-15-2006, 02:54 PM

Reason I didnt post how i fixed it is cause normally its not something people care about. anyway what i did was change the IconStyle="/IconStyles.effect" to IconStyle="/Profit.Effects.Effect1Style". Oh and while I am still on, I have added a moddification to the startbutton, it managed to join another start button with the one from you guys. I removed all sliders, and added in a mini inventory window. whenever i take a screenshot I will post that in as well. Thanks a lot guys for keeping this alive.

angelindisguise · #**648** 06-15-2006, 02:55 PM

Hey great UI only one problem for me is my bags keep reseting everytime i log out . when i drag it will bring it up but still have to move it to where i had it and suggestions

By the way here is the 1920 x1200 resolution setting file

hmm it did not take said invaild file guess ill zip it

Think I got all the files copied however my screen still looks like this

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

First thing I do is download the program.

Next I go into my eq2directory under the UI folder and create a folder called profitupdate.

I then back to the file I downloaded and open up the folders and then search all the folders for the .xml .dds .tga files and click on them, then go over to the side toolbar and hit copy this file.

When this happens it asks me where I want to copy it to and I tell it the profitupdate folder that I created inside the UI folder which is inside my EQ2 directory.

I do this to all the files.

When this is done I go to my eq2 directory and make a new text document called eq2.ini.

I open up the new eq2.ini folder and type this

cl_ui_skinname profitupdate
cl_ui_subdir UI/

Download the newest version (2.5.3) and your problems will be fixed.
