ThorUI AU (Auto Update) [Interface Discussion] - Page 9

**Faetyl** · #**201** 10-16-2005, 10:28 AM

So you were able to play with the thorui at some point?

If that's the case, perhaps you have an issue with the custom preset options.
Try running EQ2Settings.exe and reseting to defaults.
If that doesn't work, backup then delete eq2_recent.ini best way would be to rename to eq2_recent.bak

And yeah its in 32bit obviously I guess as it wouldnt run otherwise.

Sorta stumped here.

Sounds like you have a corrupt merchant window or you are using anothers mod for that.
Delete the thorui folder and relaunch the thorui au

I was performing a backup of the site and thought I would share the usage statistics

Note: This is usage since the release of the ThorUI AU

Looks like the word travels quickly

Sorry I meant I was able to play the game but not with your UI

**Faetyl** · #**205** 10-16-2005, 07:20 PM

Ok
Did you try what I recommended in my previous post?

Yeah tried it - exactly the same error as before using the auto launcher. Is there anyway to just run the UI once in the game? does /loadui <name> work? Did try that once but the UI didnt seem to work properly. Is there an ini file to use?

That worked great! Thanks

**Faetyl** · #**208** 10-17-2005, 01:56 AM

We'll have to work through this issue via yahoo messenger or VOIP
I should be available Monday night PST if you have time.
Send me an email with what time works and if you can use TeamSpeak, yahoo, or msn messenger.

Been away for a while, so I read all posts about your UI Thor....

I followed all instructions, but somehow after installing and choosing what features I wanted...I loaded game and still getting default UI. Any idea what I am doing incorrectly?

In my directory under Program Files, Sony, Everquest II, UI there isn't a ThorUI there?? Could that be it?

If I can't get it resolved I hope to catch you on TS and you can fix it via VNC. LOL

Thanks a bunch,

Jev

Hi...make sure that in ADVANCED you have the correct path to everquest. If that is not correct, ThorUI tends not to go in the place you'd expect it.

That's the AU trying to grap a file and unable to get to the file server. If it get's this far it is looking for a server lock to see if it should proceed. Sometimes Faetyl's server gets cooked (45GB of traffic...wonder why?

).

Try again in a little while and see if it works for you.

One thing...did you see the small web page at the bottom of the Auto Update screen? If you can see that it means that the server is probably fine...

My spellbook is a white block with no visible buttons. Spell icons are visible. I have to blindly mouse around to find "close", "next", "tradeskill", etc.

Also, in the EQ2 Button window, the display control buttons are now white squares. One icon in my Inventory window (next to bag-button) is also a white square.

Have already re-installed Thor with no luck.

Lastly, how do I access the UI control panel to make changes? I do not see any ThorUI AU files in the Thor directory.

Great UI, keep up the good work.

Run the auto-updater and hit the cancel button (before or after it runs its file check, it don't matter. Even though you'll need to rerun the scan for it to auto-launch anything). Hit the Advanced button, and you will see the Features tab. This is where you can make changes to any of the files used in your UI.

**Faetyl** · #**216** 10-17-2005, 08:46 PM

Reinstall probably isn't needed.
What is needed though is for you to browse to your "\EverQuest II\UI" directory and delete the thorui folder.
Launch the ThorUI AU and is "should" pull all the files down for you.

Let me know the results.

Deoen · #**221** 10-18-2005, 01:12 PM

Still can not remove the extra chat window. This what I have done so far - Ran the window wizard about 6 times during the time I was troublshooting the problem. Removed the UI.ini file and started EQ2 to creat a new ini file. then used uiswitcher to change to new UI. still had the problem. Then removed your UI, removed the ini file started EQ@ and created new ini file. Downloaded your UI and tried it again and still have the extra chat window.

Not sure if your problem is the exact same as the problem I had....I had a small extra chat window that showed up next to my main chat window. All I did was drag the "bad" chat window into my main chat window, then selected the "bad" chat tab, and deleted the "bad" tab, and it hasn't reappeared since then.
My "bad" chat window appeared after I created a window just for guild chat one night. When I was done, I closed the window but the next time I logged in it reappeared. I tried closing the widow, logging out, and logging back in numerous times but it kept reappearing. Finally I did the drag, delete, and relog and that fixed the problem. Hope it works for you.

if I exit the game I can post a petition or post a comment but if I have your UI loaded it will not let me search for information and therefore I can not do a petition. If I have a petition I can't post a comment.

Sounds to me like you have a corrupt help window. Try deleting the eq2ui_mainhud_help.xml file and rerun the autoupdater. If that don't work, you could always wipe the entire ThorUI folder and get a fresh copy of the entire thing.

After unchecking/deselecting a feature, simply delete the thorui folder and then re-run the AU

You can look at the mods before selecting them by clicking the "..." next to each feature.

I have tried this twice now and the LoadMap option is still coming up in my UI.

Any ideas here?

Thanks and great work,
