YOu don't need to flatten the image or any thing the plugin will do all that for you and your left with the raw file to change when ever.

Ok that really didnt work. As soon as I would get to where guild logo is supposed to me, i'd get a pop up, eq2 client application has encoutered a problem and needs to close. hehe oops :P

I may be wrong but I think the highest game can utilize is dtx3 for .dds anything above that it just converts down. /shrug

Invert alpha layer or create from scratch.

personally I like the way that looks hehe, if it where a brownish it would look very similar to hardwood flooring, be a nice change lol.

when I created it from scratch it caused my game to not get to the guild logo, and it would crash, and i cant find how to do anything with alpha layer
ok I went to the channels tab, i see rgb red green blue, but no alpha.
tinkering with things I figured out how to make an alpha layer, only problem is, now that I have, when I load eq2 once i get to where guild logo is supposed to me, its blank!

Howdy, Im Using Extreme ui currently but im trying to incorporate fetishs Tradeskills 4.0 into the ui. Every time i install to the directory the game goes to the loadup screen then crashes to desktop. are there some files i dont want to install?

2nd question how do i make the GUILD LOGO actually be my Guilds Logo??? i read the readme files and it doesnt seem to be getting through to my brain.

Thanks in advance

omegaslover · #**459** 08-08-2005, 01:20 AM

I am not sure about the crashing problem, but we were talking about changing the guild logo earlier in the thread. Somewhere there is a link for a photoshop plugin that you will have to download to be able to change your guild logo. Once that is done you can edit it to the way you want it to look, and what you want it to say. If you read through the forums Landlin and Heidrelka (sry i know I spelled ur name wrong) explain this a lot better then I can, since I have gotten to the part of putting my own guild name, but still cannot get the alpha layer to be transparent. Good luck, and dont hesitate to ask questions, every question is always answered

no clue on the tradeskills 4.0.

As far as the guild logo goes, you ether need to edit the current guildlogo.dds file or create a new one. If you create a new one it needs to be the same size as the current one are it will look all dorked up in game.

/shrug I always save 8:8:8:8 ARGB (32 bit) w/no mibs

cool interface from what i can see .... but thats just it! it looks ALOT like my old interface from th original game! ... granted it has a few bells and whistles as in the chat windows and all of that those are neat. But basically I don't see anything any different other than those chat windoews from what i see in the main UI. Additionally when you use spells like Bria's Enchanting Sonnet I'll be durned if you can find the window that is supposed to popup for you to give your temprary pet a command! ...... Also the maps look the same. I really don't see the UI all of thse snap shots are coming from .... any clues?

What original game? The background was made by perdiction witch has since retired and 2 or 3 people has picked up the basic layout and carried it on.

As far as it not working for you, You may want to leave a little bit mroe info such as; Are you following the install docs? Are you using your own INI or the suplied one? Are you ediiting you own eq2.ini or using the suplied one? What res are you using?

For the maps have you checked the ask to over write eq2ui_mainhud_maps.xml check box in the options? My guess is you didn't and you over wrote it couse it to dork it up.

Are you sure you used the same size? its 1024x256. The image H and W has to be a power of 2. And for the image to display the guild logo correctly it has to be 1024x256

Yea it was, i think. I decided not to do it that way. I got the guild logo underneath my guild name to go away, only problem I am having now is the back ground of it is white instead of transparent, I was told to make alpha layer transparent but I cant for the life of me figure out how to do that lol

No 1.12.6 was just a hot fix for the rewards window not working correctly.

Ok i don't know if anyone has posted anything about this or not. But i have read alot of this thread and haven't seen anything about it except a bug where eq2map updater reinstalls the eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml and the maps don't show properly. So I told EQ2map updater to tell me when overwriting the file so i can tell it no but the problem persists.

Problem: Step by step what i do i load the eq2map updater and either way overwriting the map.xml or not overwriting the map of the commonlands east and west always screw up. It had something to do with when you go from the east to the west side of the map or vice versa but it will only show both sides of the map correctly one time. Then when you look at the maps again either by pressing m or any other way it will show the last side of the map you was on ( east or west) with it mixed with the icons on both and you have to us the tool at the bottom to change it to the correct map. Its very very annoying but i continue to use the extreme ui cause in my opinion its the best just need help fixing my one issue

PS i will try to get a screen shot and post it here for if you have no clue what i'm talking about.

chamileon · #**468** 08-08-2005, 04:43 PM

here is the screenshot of the problem its suppost to be commonlands west map but as you can see its east.. My character is at the hidden canyon station in the commonlands and its showing my where the orcs are on the east side of the map???

1.12.7 fetish maps will be taken out, untill it becomes more stable for every one. This is not my mod, It works flowless for me but it seems people can't figure out how to get it to work right and it has become more of a pain then its worth. It will still be there as an option but not suported.

first off.. love this UI, as I recently changed from TyeJae Night Steel 3.3 by Aeeolag .. I liked the colors of the HP/MANA bars for the old UI I used to use, and the multi-color type is kind of hard to read at times. Is there any preset changes I can swap out to change to a solid color for the hp/mana? if not, is there any simple way to change, (ex: changing an image file slightly, changing color code within XML, etc?) .. also, is there anyway I can make it ONLY show the hp/mana %.. and not the acualy 0/1 amount? .. I do have some very slight XML knoldge, and some graphic editing/creating experiance, so I think i can do this, just not sure where to start or where the data for the colors is really stored. Hope someone can help me. thanks!

chamileon · #**472** 08-08-2005, 09:01 PM

just wanted to say thanks for getting back so quick and i can't wait till the update of this awesome UI comes out.

dragon0241 · #**473** 08-08-2005, 09:46 PM

Hi guys... thanks for the great UI its keeps getting better
the only problem i have is there is no longer a patron button on the guild page to set or remove patron status.
Is there a way to fix this or a keyboard command to set patron status?

thanks

Again after live update 13 there will be no such thing as a patron, so in the proccess of gettting the UI ready for the update it has been removed.

You could edit the files you want to change IE eq2_mainhud_player.xml and change the image coordinates to match that of a bar you would rather use. Be sure to make a backup of this file so you dont accidentally overwrite it with a future update. Im not very good at getting image coordinates but landiin might be able to help if he has time. Remember that unless it is widely requested or we decide to, minor graphics changes such as bars and such wont be supported but I will help you as best I can if I have time. Our primary goal at the moment is to get the bugs worked out and windows tweaked and optimized where everyone has a playable interface at multiple resolutions. I've been having wife agro issues last couple of days so I haven't had the time lately to help people out but once I slay the beast I'll be back to help out more.
