I am not sure if this has been posted before or not, but i believe it would be an awesome addition that you can make to your UI Target window. Let me explain a bit: When fighting an Epic encounter, sometimes not all of the mobs are Epic mobs, for example, there may be 1 epic mob, and 3 heroic mobs in the encounter. But these mobs are all labeled as Epic x #(2,3,4). Now if you put your mouse over the target window, you can distinguish which one is epic and which is not. Another way to do that is to use the "Simplified" conning system. Now lets face it, the simplified conning system is far less superior to the detailed conning system, except for that one advantage while selecting targets in an epic encounter.



I would love to see if it is possible for someone to create a targeting window that would allow you to use the detailed conning system, and still be able to distinguish which mobs were epic, and which were heroic within an epic encounter.

I really have no clue if this has been posted in any shape or form here...I really really enjoy Thor UI. I love all the little conveniences it provides...having said that...I am a purple freak. I just really like the color. So, I saw a UI on here that had all the windows done up in my all time favorite color. Fetish. The thing is, I don't like it near as much as I like Thor UI.

Can you give me purple windows?? or can u suggest how I might go about borrowing Fettish's color scheme while still using all that Thor has to offer?

So basically I'd like to suggest differnt colored skins...hmm maybe I should go make sure I didn't overlook that option in thor....

I love the UI, and recommend it to all my friends and just the other day , recommended to my Guild leader to take a look at it, as he uses mix and matches.
I have started playing with my Templer and have found a couple of things I would love to see implimented if possible.

Someone posted a "click and heal function/assist " on his group window. Is that a possible mob you can look at? As a healler would be awesome to be able to click on disease icon on player window, and the highest cure spell i have would be cast, save so much time. Especially forme, to mouse over disease, read what it is, mouse over my cures, to find appropiate one, and then click to cast, after making sure i had group member target.

Also I have noticed something strange, and it maybe just my machine. but the health bars in group window, seem to go down differetn then the targeted window. henrys in group window, also he is targeted (as in assist mode) but group window shows green going down, and target window shows same groupmemeber in yellow? is that a lag issue?

Keep up the great work.

update the program to delete files from the thorui folder. having to delete the entire directory and then re-download everything takes too long.

or for a quicker fix, simply put a comment in the config window stating what files are used for that feature... so someone could just go find those files and delete them instead of the entire directory.

[Freyaa]

how about an updated writ and hq window please

Heya Faetyl.....

Do you think you could add this guild window mod to the updater? I know you already have the InfoCenter in a separate window, but I personally prefer to use keyboard shortcuts rather than clicking with the mouse to do what I need to do, and I'd rather not waste a hotkey for the command macro.

[Faetyl]

I'd have to recommend using that one outside/separate from the ThorUI.
There are many individual files associated with the info center and the plan txt documents don't always get handled correctly by the AU.
Therefore I always edit the original infocenter to be one main file rather than all the smaller pieces.
Adding another window to do the same thing to would be a bit much unfortunately.

Fair enough, man. Just thought I'd ask.

Do you think you could add the Claymore questline to the InfoCenter? I'd do it myself, but I'm not too XML savvy and wouldn't know where to start>

Thanks for all the hard work you've done on this awesome UI, dude!!

Thanks.

All you need to do is to put all the required files for it in your thorui directory and you should be goood to go.

Also make sure that you don't have any of the group windows selected and/or have the "Do Not Update if local file is newer" option checked within the auto updater. Having either of these done will ensure the updater does not overwrite anything.

Heya,

I got a suggestion about Shutdown window.It would be nice if it was possible to set up shutdown window for the multiple accounts .

I would also like to see some kind of login shortcut as well

[Faetyl]

I implemented this a few days ago.
Been testing it out for a bit longer than I originally had intended but it is available now.

No login shortcut though.
I won't support anything that retains passwords.
Too many horror stories.

Cool

Now could you explain how to edit Shutdown file for muliple accounts or refer me to appropriate thread?

Shortcut could still prompt for PSW. What I had in mind is something that would skip the patching, logo/graphics loading,ToS agreement and retain user names and character lists for various accounts.

I love the profitui mod; mouseclicks in eq2 is the bane of my life and this ui makes things a lot less tedious.

I would really like to see this tool extended for the sales log. As a crafter and seller of many items on the broker I need to keep track of my stock and I quite often miss that I've sold items and end up not recrafting sold items for a long time, costing me money. Even if the sales log had as simple a feature as to sort the list by column so I could see what has sold on a given day it would help me, and I'm sure others, greatly.

Being able to filter sold items in the same way as you can broker items for market analysis would be an incredible bonus!

[Faetyl]

I backed away from modding the broker window untill the changes settled.
I'm not familiar with others mods regarding this window but will look into them.

The sales log format is a PITA but is pushed by the server, so no chance to mod that. I have done nothing to it in ProfitUI.

Please FIX the hotbars SO it can the spells can be locked in 1 place>I am tired of dying in a fight when i am a healer because i am madly clicking on the spells and they get dragged etc.ALSO remove the damn paper doll thing I am sick of getting a error and crashing out of the game if i accidently hit it.


DONT get me wrong I love this UI but,THose are my pet peeves and they truely need to be addressed thanks

I believe this can be remedied by locking the hotbar(s) in place. I remember having to unlock my hotbars when I wanted to rearrange the layout of my spells (not sure if this has been changed, as I have been unable to play for a few months).

ALSO remove the damn paper doll thing I am sick of getting a error and crashing out of the game if i accidently hit it.

I believe this issue was linked to the inventory and/or persona window. Delete the eq2ui_inventory_inventory.xml and eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml files from your thorui directory and rerun the updater to pull a fresh copy of each.

I was wondering if there is a way to make a smaller Tradeskilling window, currently the version I have has all the cool things but takes up a good portion of my 19inch screen. Maybe a 3/4 option?

[Faetyl]

I understand
It is quite large and I have been meaning to rescale it down a bit.
I'll add this to my list.

Hey Faetyl

I've been using Thor UI for quite a long time now, and i LOVE it!

There is just one thing that would make it even better IMHO and it has to do with the Maintained Effects and Buffs windows. I would like to see the duration of the effect/buff actually displayed over the icon.

Example:
SoW is cast on you and it shows up on your bar, and it shows the minutes remaining so it would look like

-------
|     |
| 29m |
|     |
-------

29 min because thats how many whole minutes are remaining since it starts ticking down. then when it gets to seconds left it would look like this

-------
|     |
|  9s |
|     |
-------

it would still have the icon underneath it so you can tell the effect, but this would be an easy way to display the actual amount of time left on effects/buffs without actually taking any more screen space.


Thanks again!


EDIT:
you could even add this to the hot bars for count down for reuse timers!

[ShadowProwler420]

Irme,

There are various maintained/Buff Effects window mods that already have the timer you are looking for (example). Just because something is not offered within the ThorUI updater, doesn't necessarily mean it cannot be used (that's the biggest thing I like about ThorUI....Faetyl tries to keep it non-inclusive, meaning other author's work can be used along with it without breaking the entire UI).

In regards to the hotbar timer thing, I believe I have seen past discussions about this not being able to be done. Here's one thread I found on it.

[irme]

Yes, I've seen the mod you linked for the buffs/effects window, but thats not what i was describing.

I understand how they work and that you can piece them together.

I prefer the buff/effect windows of ThorUI because of their size, and i don't want that size to change - hence the time left showing up over the top of the icon, and not taking up any more screen real estate.

[mattmandude]

In previous UI's I've used, I was able to make a chat window that was very small, with no borders.. which I used as a basic combat window, to know if I was out of range with my melee, and to see my damage.

The chat windows with Thor UI don't work very well for this purpose, because you can't get rid of the frame (I like the window to be unnoticeable unless I'm actually fighting something), when you make them as small as allowed the text scrolls out of the chat window for some reason (text floating above the window), and also the little tab in the corner makes it look awkward if you want to place the window on the right side.

This UI by far is my FAVORITE, the customization is far superior, you've done a great job. I would be extremely pleased to see something available for a super small, simple chat window =)

-Thanks, keep it up

[chiefmack9]

Not sure where this would be, and im sure it has been asked, but there are so many posts to read and assimulate.

1. Trying to load the UI settings i have on my Main toon, (ie placements and such). Not sure if this was avail in eq2 or eq1. but seem to recall, pls correct if i am thinking of wrong game, but when i logged in, I could select what toon i wanted to emulate, or no matter what toon i had picked, i could have them all set up the way my main toon had its windows placed.

When i /loadui i get only default or ThorUI, and in chosing ThorUI, i get only one hotbar, instead of all ten, ect.

I know there was I think a way to select all my toons, but for the life of me, cant figure where in setup it is. Having not a great knowledge, i select and reslect buttons and every now and then, i get the window where i select each of my toons for the server i am on. Where is that function? help please
