Fetish Nightfall Full Release

[Sepulcher]

I am having problems with the persona bar in v3.2. If I remove it the UI works fine, well sorta, a black space, and breaks the health and power diagram. Any clues? Version 3.0 worked except I couldn't sell from the store online or offline which is why I got 3.2

It crashes after about a minute, but I still suspect its the persona bar or that helath and power group window. Untill then its evil standard UI. I have come accustomed to Fetish UI for a long time now, the standard UI just doesn't come close now.

Hmm, hopefully I can get back to the greatest UI bar none, soon.

[Togras]

Woah, that's weird. I don't have that problem at all.

I know the changes to the persona bar were to include the new features as well as make it stick even after hitting esc, but other than that, it doesn't seem to have been changed from last release.

Loving the UI Zonx, thanks alot.

Quick question for you; is it possible to make the bag strip persistant between logins? Just wanting to be lazy and not have to open it when logging in.

Hey, thanks for the response, let me rephrase my issue... (I crashed to desktop upon loading in BB), well, BB just happens to be where I am at currently, I crash to desktop without being able to do anything. Last night I played with the default UI since all I was gonna do was harvest for an hour. I'll uninstall eq2map and reinstall. Was I supposed to reinstall eq2map when I upgraded to version 3.2?

I'll post more when I get home this afternoon, I'm currently at work.

BTW: Thanks a lot for all the hard work you've done on this excellent UI. And all the time you've spent answering questions for those of us having problems. It is much appreciated!

v3.2
if you are seeing the crashing errors just after loading - make sure you are installing eq2map first.

Also on the default UI player crafted food has additional stats info which is not visible when using Nightfall

First issue is in effect with the default UI. If that's different, its a SOE change/bug.

Second issue, I've confirmed my Examine Item windows are showing everything visible in the default UI. The new "Stats" for food and drink are listed in the description. They are not separatet line items or numerical.

The symptoms you describe sound like a bad map install. Run the EQ2MAp auto-updater (there's a link in the first post of this thread). Then download and install 3.3.

Any window can be made persistan by inserting

OnHide="visible=true"

into the first page object's properties.

This is likely the result of a missing or corupt file. Try running the EQ2MAP auto-updater, then download and install 3.3. If that doesn't fix it, trash the Fetish directory entirely, re-run auto-updater and reinstall 3.3.

[Zonx]

Version 3.3 is available for download

First off, this is an awesome UI. Hubby is running it on his computer, but I can't get it to work after following the instructions included to the letter. I get white areas where text should be, but the interesting thing is that my paperdoll area is also completely white when I open my inventory.

Am I, as Bender would say, completely boned, or is there a fix? I've already posted in the general help forum looking for ArialComplete.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Zonx,


You THE MAN!!!!
i have been using this mod for a week now and LOVE it, and the prompt updates are beautiful, Thank you very much for spending YOUR time on us and sharing this with everyone.!!!

With shrink map on, while running, it grabs the focus and while pressing the up arrow for the run, it begins to cycle through the dropdowns. Interrupts the run and messes up the map.

a chick said boned, thats cool ,, anyways ,, try just renameing your font ?

i did that once and it worked, but no i havent tried it in your spacific problem, /shrug

[Apostrophe]

Not just a chick, a chick who is probably well old enough to be your grandma. Hehehe.

Okay, tried installing QuickArial Complete and that didn't fix it. Just for grins, gonna try a different UI and see what happens. But if anyone has any thoughts, please post them. Since the paperdoll is gone, too, it sure looks like some kinda of graphics issue.

If this is any help, in the spiffy new loading screens, the box with text just below the logo starts white, goes to a few very pale pastel shades, but I never can read any text in it. After I get logged in, the space for the EQII button is white (Along with other areas of the screen.) but clickable, the resulting menu is white with VERY pale pastel text. I can use it, but mostly because I know where stuff is and get real close to the monitor and squint.

Sounds like you're missing some images or they are mislocated. I recomend opening the ZIP, looking at the directory paths inside the ZIP, and manually varifying all .dds and .tga files are located on your drive where they should be.

Most images should be in Fetish/images/
2 images go in Fetish/images/icons/

Known probelm. Workaround is to click the map after using a dropdown. Hopefully I'll have a fix in place for next release.

[Dadditude]

Ok, I have a couple of questions for everyone out there.

• Is there a way to mod the map so that the dropdown lists are not shown? This is a really interesting feature, but I don't ever use it, so I'd like to hide it?
• Is there a way to mod the Quest Helper window so that all the text has a 1-pixel black border so that it can be more easily read against light backgrounds when the window background is transparent?

Thanks in advance!

Main Map dropdowns can be disabled as follows:

1) open the eq2map directory.
2) Rename or delete plugin4.xml
3) Dupe plugin5.xml and rename it plugin4.xml
4) Open the new plugin4.xml in NotePad and change Name="TM_Plugin5" to Name="TM_Plugin4"

Adding ShadowStyles to Quest Helper:

1) Open eq2ui_journal_active.xml
2) Search for Name="StageTreeViewStyle"
3) Replace the entire object (from preceeding < to following >) with this:

<TreeViewStyle CellHeight="15" CellPadding="1,1" DefaultTextShadowStyle="/ShadowStyles.ChatSimple.Outline1" DefaultTextShadowStyle="/ShadowStyles.Outline1" DefaultTextStyle="/Fonts.FontZapf15" GridColor="#FFFFFF" ImageStyleChecked="CheckboxStyles.widget_check_on" ImageStyleCollapsed="CheckboxStyles.widget_tree_expand" ImageStyleExpanded="CheckboxStyles.widget_tree_contract" ImageStyleUnchecked="CheckboxStyles.widget_check_off" Name="StageTreeViewStyle" SelectionColorBackground="#334455" SelectionColorRect="#334455" SelectionTextShadowStyle="/ShadowStyles.Outline1"/>

4) Imediately following that object should be the StageTreeView object. Change its Style to Style="StageTreeViewStyle"
5) Search for Name=TimerValue"
6) Insert ShadowStyle="/ShadowStyles.Outline1"

Suggest you backup this change incase you accidentally replace the file at some point

[Arowen]

I installed your new ui and will run for awile then the it will start slowing down movement and the hard drive light is going like crazzy, then the screen pauses and then eq window come up and everquest has crashed and can not recover from it, i use youe ver 3.2 and it did not do that,it does it on both the classic 3.3 and the reg 3.3, is there some thing i doing wrong, i deleted the folder and reinstalled it it still crashes and locks up the hole computer I need to hit the power button to reset it

[Zonx]

Eww... that sounds suspiciously like a memory leak.

The only thing I can think of that might cause this is the extra include I discovered UIBuilder inserted without my knowledge.

Open eq2ui_mainhud.xml in notepad.

Delete the following line of code.

<include>eq2map/_Fetish_TM_map_dock.xml</include>

Let me know if that fixes it.

If that doesn't work, you can try deleting this from mainhud

<include>_Fetish_mainhud_bagstrip.xml</include>

These were the only completely new files added on my end. EQ2MAP has made some changes recently. We'll see if anyone else reports similar problems over the next few days.

If all else fails, revert to 3.2 and toss in the 3.3 version of eq2ui_examine.xml. Only file that was actually missing something from the default UI.

[Zonx]

I've confirmed a bug with _1004h_eq2ui_inventory_bag.xml. If you're using this bag style and notice window size problems, please switch to the default bag for now.

I'll try to get a replacement file up tonight.

Bingo! The Images folder is empty except for 2 folders. I'll figure out which files to move manually. Thanks!

[Sablerose]

First, thanks for the new version coming out so fast...

I've noted several of the work-arounds that people have discussed, and I will work on those. But, I've had a opinion problem with the UI from the start, and that is the color.

I noticed an add-on in your listing, by PresumedEvil, for the 9-slot trade window, that was on a blue color base. Any chance of making a way to switch the UI color base? I would be even more delighted with the UI then.

Thanks again.

[Sablerose]

I followed the instructions you gave for adding ShadowStyles to the Quest Helper window. This worked so well that I would like to do the same thing to the 4 windows I have chat filtered to. Is this possible without changing the rest of my window fonts? If so, please let me know how?

Thanks again for making such a great UI.

I thought I followed your directions to the letter, but when I get in game, the text is not there at all. I have attached my file so that you can maybe see what I did wrong.

Actually, since the dropdown menus have been moved down to the bottom of the window in 3.3 (instead of being in the middle of the map as in 3.2), I will probably leave them be. I am guessing that their being in the middle of the map in 3.2 was something to do with the window size, as I had never gone in to make that change (since it would always get changed back each time the EQ2MAP updater would run).

[snakebyte]

Hey, thanks for the fantastic UI, this one will stay for a good long time. One problem, I can't get the HO window to show, any ideas?

[Dadditude]

I recently started having a problem with my UI and I am hoping that someone out there has some idea as to what the cause may be and how to fix it.

I recently decided to do away with the letterbox area on my system in order to see more of the scenery. Since doing that, the first Examine Item window that I open is locked in place, unable to be moved in any direction. The "Move" cursor (with the 4-way arrows) never even comes up. This does not happen with other types of examine windows or the second and subsequent Examine Item window.

I do not know if this is a general UI problem, a problem with Nightfall, or a problem with depechenode's Advanced Examine Windows (which I use), so I am posting this question in all 3 places in the hopes that someone out there can help me figure it out.
