Laffs alt Perdition Bottom TyeJae

[Laffs]

You need "frame and titlebar" enabled on them to move them..

DC,

I dont know if the group % is working on the test server or not I never group on there lol, But will try soon as I get chance

[Duleras Night]

Hey Laff, nice Ui and all, but it doesn't seem to be working on my screen. I have a 1280x1024 set-up, and when I download it as you say to, it loads up all crunched together, what do I do?

[Destiny]

i cant get the implied target window to work at all, all i get is a thin bar with abosolutely nothing showing on it when i have a person selected and they are targetting a mob for me to assist...am i missing something here?

Use the server_character_eq2_uisettings(1200x1024).ini file found in the download and change it to your server / chars name and take out the (1200x1024) part

*EDIT* Are your refering to when you start the game or when you are playing it? .... As the UI loads up for the first time you start EQ windows are displayed in the default locations, But soon as the game processes your char settings file then they position correctly.... This mess to start with enables you to chat whilst zoneing and actualy speeds up zoneing times a little.

Kool a new question at last

Could be a few reasons for this we start from the most simple,

Have you tried to move it up a bit? it may just be partialy covered by another window.

Have you been using another custom UI before this one? If so is that implied target window in the same spot it was with the other UI?

Are you using my char settings file?

[Madhog]

Ok, hope these aint silly requests! I love this UI and your own modding of it, so thanks!

I dont get the point of the char image on the exp bar, and seems to me that this is wasted space...

Would it be possible to mod in the start button here with 3 of the texty clicky buttons? Personally Id like the Shd on / off one from previous versions, mute and the journal one Ive seen knocking around. This would make better use of what is otherwise dead space, if the start button its self cant be put in there, s'fine, just the texty clickys.

Finally, the bit at the bottom with the power, health and now casting guages. I love your latest mod to this, but to my mind these elements have never been logically placed. Id prefer my personal power and health bars either side of my char info bit and the casting bar thingy moveable on its own which Id put on the right side at the right side of the target box. I want to be able to glance down and look at my info in one eyeball if you see what I mean.

I tried playing with the UI builder to do these but *ahem* ended up reinstalling /giggle

[Laffs]

Lol...

The "paperdoll" is in the exp window as it has been removed from the the Inv window..

The performance panel contains "shaders" on/off toggle on the same button

Quest Journal can be pulled up by double clicking on the "active quest" box

Gauges positions, yups I can see what your saying and thought about doing this also... BUT it left me with the problem of where to put the "casting text , inventory overflow, Equipment not attuned, Fizzeld and interrupted text" box ? On other mods that I first made for myself etc, I didnt have any of this info as I thought it was useless! but how wrong I was, I now find myself not saying "what the ....." so often now whilst casting or wondering why my new equipment aint working hehe..

I guess the text could go along the top of the target window but then that will push implied target up.... etc etc... one problem / change leads to another and so on.....

Anyways working on somemore buttons atm... also a switch for tradeskill exp and other "stuff"

[bakes]

With the new mods you added the are a few problems that need to be looked at please =) ... All the notes should be explained in the attached image.
Thanks and keep up the great work.

[Laffs]

First off thanks for the praise,

Yellow box:

Make sure your using all the files in the "alt" folder the replacement clock one is missing for the moment. Check your opacitys also as the coin page is contained in the experience frame page.

Green box:

It is 2 rows deep, you just havent resized it down

Red Box:

RE: yellow box

Blue box:

Nice idea, But that would mean another preset configuration to add to Ger's parsing utility.... And more confusion over what config to use... So sorry nope

There maybe an update to these today "MAYBE" LOL

[bakes]

Okay got the spells fixed
But the money is still sort of broken I think it has something to do with it not being over the main viewing area of the screen... (look at the hotkey bars in the black area they have no bg also?)

Attached is image again

[Madhog]

Heh, figured it wouldnt be straight forward! By journal I dont mean the quest one btw, I mean the one with notes on, you get 10 pages of text you can edit yerself (I love that, got my spell lists, heritage info etc on em). Dont remember if this was from one of your previous ones or someone elses.

I dont use your inventory cos I like the default layout hehe, I still dont see why you want the paperdoll on display all the time!

Regarding the guages, would moving the power and casting ones (as you have em now) essentially around, remove the handly little box you put in with the text info on what you was casting?? Surely that answers your own question?

Anyhow, keep up the good work, I love this too!

[Ashly]

I am having a problem with the group window now since the last patch, seems like it isnt l filling up the bars like the target window wasnt before the fix. Is anyone else having this problem?

Me on it , its to do with the page placement.. I think I got it fixed now .. but need to get a group to verify it proper lol

[Draconis]

It seems that the Target window is bugged, the health bar/mana bars using 1/4 space privided.

[Zcellen]

I am having a windows fade out when the mouse is not over it, even though i have reset the window settings to be 100 opacity. The currency window just below the EXP bar in the top left corner of the UI and then the very bottom right hot bar does the same thing. Do you know what it could be?

Thanks,
Zcellen

**********

Go figure right after i posted this i had an epiphany, you see all i needed to do was go to the UI options and uncheck the box that said hide frames in letterbox area.

[Madhog]

Crikey!

/hug

Attached is my ui folder as it stands. I think the only thing Ive really changed is the bags, oh and Im using Tyaes HO wheel. Ive removed the eq2map folder as its quite large and didnt think youd need that anyhow.

I needed to remove the images folder too cos it was making it nearly 3 megs, the images are just the default ones from your UI anyhow, with the Tye HO wheel added in.

The box Im referring to is the effects one,the one you provide a top and bottom version of. The maintained sits in the player area and is fine.

Oh and I vote for:

LaffLite - for this new one you're pondering over and...

LaffLots - For the other one!

[Laffs]

Oks thanks for sending that..

Got a group, effects and player window for you to have a look at...

Going to start a new thread in the beta section for this I thinks.

[Madhog]

Aye that would be a good idea hehe.

Ok dropped them files into my ui folder, and it looks great!

I would say that aiming for a height along the entire bottom to the same as the 2 hotbars on the right would make this perfect.

I think you can lose some pixels on the target box?

I love the spell being casted name appearing in that area, good work with that!

Regarding the effects window, yes the look is great, if you pull it to the full extent, its fine, if you shorten it, you lose the box end on the right end. Its only superficial but means you gotta have it long to make it look right. Im not sure, but, maybe a vertical version would be better? Could just put it down the left edge of the screen then.

Not had long to look at this today sadly, got friends over for the day and night for a bbq! Luckily they are EQ2 players so understand a bit hehe.

Am attaching my char ini and a screeny again so you can see what I did.

[Laffs]

Oks thanks for testing...

Me not quite happy with the placement of the casting names etc... going to change the font its fine on 1 line but 2 lines it go's into the frame a little... not good

The effects yes that was a bit hit and miss... need to put a lot more work into that than I thought, But onto it

look out for new thread tomorrow and update files will be there..

And hey 50% of the work is testing / feedback... So nice work bud

[MysticWiz]

ive seemed to find a nasty bug im gonna try to explain it best i can
when i open my inventory and try to drag something into the hot bar inventory it crashes the game like say i go into the bank and i dont have my inventory open and i just want to drag a item over to my hotbar inventory uptop the one with the stats it crashes even if i try to drop it in the bag the whole game crashes just thought you would like to know so you can update also do you think it be possable for a 1024x768 version cuz my screen cant handle the big rez only got a 15in monitar thx in advance

[Laffs]

I know about that bug... I am surprised its taken so long for sombody to find it lol

I have looked into this quite a few times and to be honest I do not know how to fix it lol.. You can drag stuff out of there just fine attune stuff from there etc but not able to drop stuff in without a crash.

To run at 1024x768 on a 15in moniter you will most likely have to size the top right and bottom left chat boxes down then it should all fit in, My son runs it at that rez on his system just fine.

Hi,

I just started using the Laff's Alt Peridition bottom TyeJae UI and i love it, but i think i may have done somethign wrong. Three different windows (text boxes, guild and emotes/socials arent the right color. They are showing at this pay grey with white borders, makes it very hard to read. Any idea on how to fix this?

LMAO.... the last 4 posts prior to yours are about that very same problem

[Kobara]

Hello once again, Laffs...

Downloaded the latest update dated today which had your proposed fixes to the chat window problems but I still have the exact same issue with grey chat windows and white popups.

I wont include a screenshot since the view is same except for no custom background color . I stuck to your stock download colors so as not to possibly corrupt what you are uploading for use.

I made sure to delete my old version first so I was not overwriting but installing fresh. I used the optional folder files, but from looking at the file names, cant think they would cause the symptoms I am having.

I did retain my old neriak_kobara_eq2uisettings file since I did not wish to redo my chat options etc, which is a pain. To confirm it was not causing my issue I moved it temporarily and used the one you provide and same result so that file is not affecting anything with colors of windows.

Any ideas? Thankd again for the excellent support you give us users. Many authors would not be as diligent in responding to issues as you have been and I, for one,appreciate that.

Just a question, Laffs ... you make reference to the filename I have in BOLD above (taken from eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml file in todays update) yet I cannot find that file in /images folder. Is this intentional and could the omision be causing my problem?

Also, found this in the eq2ui_mainhus_socials.xml which is also affected by my problem :
<Image Name="Background" PackSize="fixed,fixed" PackSizeProp="0002/0003,0002/0003" ScrollExtent="758,197" Size="758,197" SourceRect="543,355,785,461" SourceResource="images/laffsskin.dds"

Starting to think this file missing may have something to do with my problem since it appears in the .xml of each window I am having problems with.

[Kobara]

Ok, I guess that is the problem... I simply made a copy of perdigraghics.dds, temporarily placed in another folder... renamed it to laffsskin.dds and repasted it in /images folder so it resides with perdigraphics.dds. It works now .
