I'm having a SEVERE problem with your UI. I've followed your install instructions completely, as far as I can see (triple checked), but when I load up the game, my screen looks like this:

http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/2...terface8ui.jpg

You'll notice that not all the windows in your UI screenshots are present in this screenshot (I'm using your alt windows too), and they're not where they're supposed to be when basing it off your example screenshots. Am I missing something here? Where are all the windows? And do I have to put the UI together like a puzzle to make it look like you did?

Confused and frustrated.

make sure you copy the server_character_eq2_uisettings(xxxx by xxxx).ini is coppied to your main directory, rename it by replacing your server name where it says server and character name where it says characters, ALSO remove the resolution numbersand the ( ). if you don't take the resolution info off the file will not be read correctly.

Just to add to that...

The problem there seems to be with the letterbox size... resize your letterbox down a bit in game options and they should slot together.

Either that or make sure you are using the "eq2.ini" file that I supplied... Dont use /loadui command as it dont use that file.

Windows not showing... alt+t , alt+u

Laffs · #4 08-03-2005, 12:24 PM

Krylosis,

Try this settings file... and close the hotbar under the target window and then select frame in the target windows options (as you already know lol)

I couldnt get this to break.... this is the last thing I can think of doing..

neurro · #5 08-03-2005, 08:37 PM

antoniabayle_Dalorada_eq2_uisettings.ini is what it currently looks like. Is that wrong in any way?

Also, what does the letterbox size have to do with all the frames being jumbled around my screen and not together? Do I have to manually put the UI together like a puzzle?

And, not all the frames are on my screen that are on your screenshots.. does that have tod o with the antoniabayle_Dalorada_eq2_uisettings.ini ?

EDIT: alt+t, alt+u frames are already showing on the screenshot I linked you to.

Chaddwick · #6 10-11-2005, 11:33 PM

the health bar in the main target window is missing, so is the mana bar, but besides that its doing good.

Laffs · #7 10-12-2005, 11:02 AM

Without looking I know what the problems are your having now... I forgot to change a referances to Laffs style's that I been working on and this UI dont use that... I will edit them tonight and post update for you guys

Jerhico · #8 10-14-2005, 08:15 AM

Couple of small items...

My wife brought up her /petition window last night with this UI and noticed that the trouble-report category text was very dark and difficult to read. The window itself is unskinned.

Also, if I don't want the UI to show while zoning, is it a simple matter of deleting the eq2ui_hud_zoning.xml file?

Since I prefer the original inventory window, deleting the Perdition version restores this, but the coin icons are missing at the bottom of the inventory window (the number of those coins is correctly presented, however) and in the default merchant window as well.

Great UI.

Thank you for all of your effort!

Laffs · #9 10-14-2005, 12:31 PM

Oks I will take a look at the font that window uses...

Yeh delete that zoning file.

As for the default windows they should be using the new style now... Wait a few days to see if its SoE that missed somthing out or if I need to add somthing in so to speak lol

And thanks for the thanks m8

Krylosis · #10 10-15-2005, 09:12 AM

Laffs,
I installed the UI from your most recent upolad (i belive it's for LU 14) i went ingame to test all the windows out and found the merchant window was not working, I went to your laffs lite ui to get the window fix. now, I first installed all 6 of the files for that and i lost my main hud inventory with the equipment slots in it. I deleted, re-installed didn't include that file for LU14 fix, and it's back. do you plan to add in the fixed LU14 files for this ui in the zip?

Krylosis

PS: i still won't use any other ui, though i've shifted a few of the other windows around (bag and inventory windows) love the work bud!

skirlock · #11 11-17-2005, 01:17 PM

I am using this mod and it seems the skin for the merchant window is missing. Mine comes up totally white. Not sure why it seems to be only me that has this issue. Just thought I would mention it. All other windows look correct.

Krylosis · #12 11-18-2005, 01:14 PM

hey laffs, here is a pic of the petition window and one of the selections box. the text in the petition is not affected. =) anyways hope this helps and I have the current UI update too (11/11)

i'm just wondering if everyone has the same compass issue i do. i think i recall one other person posting something on the comments on the download page but i could be wrong.

essentially my compass if off by 90 degrees. if it's pointed north i'm actually headed east i think it is and so on.

a small complaint about the best ui out there but this would be nice on those occasions where i'm trying to find a specific loc.

Laffs · #14 11-21-2005, 02:16 PM

Oks here is a compass and merchant window for you guys to try...

The issue with the help window is down to soe's default dropdown boxes.. And I asume that they will be doing somthing about this in the next patch... If they dont then I guess I will have to lol

colinmarsh00 · #15 11-22-2005, 04:20 AM

updated compass worked beautifully. helped me out finding some locs tonite. thanks a ton. i didn't test the merchant window because i have no issue there so i wasn't sure what i was looking for.

one other thing i noticed is that on the top spellbar you can no longer click off your own effects. was wondering if this is a product of overall changes to the ui in general or something specific to this one.

thanks again for all the hard work, i find it hard to play without this fantastic ui.

skirlock · #16 11-22-2005, 11:40 AM

Thanks Laffs. these files did the trick

Skirlock

Laffs · #17 11-22-2005, 12:58 PM

Thanks guys pleased they work...

No the right click problem with that window is just specific to this ... and I will be fixing it soon..

ravandail · #18 11-23-2005, 11:07 PM

Is there a slot for food and drink in your inventory? I don't have any showing, so I can't stop eating and drinking when I am afk. Am I missing it?

Thanks

Ravandail

Fazio · #19 12-04-2005, 10:21 PM

Thanks for the great interface.
I would like the startbutton at the top left with all of the extra functions on it with the replacement bar where the old startbutton was but i cant seem to work it out. What are the names of the two files i need to put in my Laffsv8 folder to get this to happen?
Thamks in advance.

Laffs · #20 12-05-2005, 11:11 AM

I think this is the set of windows that you refer to give you the set up you want...

Just drop them all in the LAFFSV8 folder and overwrite the existing one's

(also take a look at the read me file that is in this zip as well m8)

Aladinsane · #21 12-06-2005, 09:51 AM

I know that you prefer to work on your other UI, but please keep on with this version - I pretty much can't play with anything but this one

nice work again !

sfx100 · #22 12-07-2005, 09:08 PM

I saw an earlier response from Laff's that's he's aware of the problem of not being able to right-click the upper spell bar to disable a spell, but I thought I'd relate a somewhat humorous effect of this:

Several days ago, I cast Summon Zygomid to create a little mushroom pet (you get it in splitpaw arena). Later on when I wanted to get rid of the rascal, I found I couldn't! The spell doesn't appear on the lower spellbar, nor does it appear in the maintained spells bar, only in the upper bar where you can't turn it off.

The little booger follows you around EVERYWHERE and doesn't disappear on its own, so he's still following me around 5 days later! lol!

It's not a big deal, just kinda funny.

I'm also experiencing the same problem as Krylosis with the petition window -- items are black. And I also can't seem to click in the text box in the friends window either. I have to add / remove friends w/ commands. (ie. /friend).

BTW, very nice interface, Laff's, thank you very much for it! I think I speak for us all when I say we appreciate your hard work.

Laffs · #23 12-08-2005, 09:56 AM

Roflmao ...... Thats so funny with the mushroom

I am going to remake the effects window today,

The comunity window mod I will replace with the Laffs Lite one ... As the only change I have made to that window is move the close button etc down into the main window and remove the fancy backgrounds for the titlebar..

I will take a closer look at and actualy play with this UI on the test server and fix whatever else is broken / not working correctly far as I can see..

Thanks to all who are still using this UI and your patience in waiting for updates an stuff

stesergio · #24 12-17-2005, 12:30 AM

I have a couple questions:

1. I have some how lost the blue bar that shows how much power I have left. How can I get that back? What is the name of the .xms file that controls that?

2. I like to play in full screen but every time I log in, I am in widescreen (letterbox). I can go into options and adjust the letterbox back to zero but the next time I log in I have the letterboxes again. Any way I can change this so that I do not always start in widescreen?
