ThorUI Help [Need Help with the User Interface? Post here!!!]

I currently have a Conjuror and a Necromancer in EQ2. The first summoner I load in the health bar window works fine. When I load in the second summoner, it will black out the pet's red health window and replace it with a black oval with a green dot in it. Do you have a fix for this?

[Faetyl]

Usually when you see something work for one character and not for another, it's usually related to the window placements file created by the game.
I'd recommend backing them up and using the command /load_uisettings while in game on the character with the issue.
Simply select the WPF of the character that you know works and that should resolve your issue.
Search the boards for more in depth info on window placement files if you require it.

[Dracythis]

I have tried your suggestion and loaded every available UI Setting for my character. Once this glitch appears, it effects every summoner character on my account. The only way to rid the problem (temporarily) is to uninstall & reinstall ThorUI. The UI works perfectly while I am on my primary summoner, but once I switch to a secondary summoner the glitch arises. Once the glitch arises the pet health oval goes black with the green dot on all my summoner characters.

Hmm, I'll have to look into that one.

Can you post your Window placements file of a character with the issue?

Thanks,

[Xhanna]

How do you show the group window? I tried alt G, and nothing. Alt R works for the raid window, but sometimes that is way more than is needed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Odds are if alt + g don't work, you have a corrupt window placement file (server_character_eq2_uisettings.ini). Delete it and let the game make a new one (or copy one for an alt you may have that is working correctly and rename it for the character that has the corrupt file).

Thanks a ton! Worked great!

Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been busy with work. I'm not sure what you mean by windows placement file. I can do the UI .ini file for the character. I have enclosed a screenshot of the problem for your review.

Thanks

Dracythis, The issue you are having with the pet heath bar is a SOE issue. I havn't looked at Faetyls coding for that window but from my findings any change from the default on bars result in said bar being discolored when you change char, go LD or ect while using the same UI. Closing out the game normaly will correct the discoloring. This is a long standing issue the EQ2's UI system has had.


Figured I'd help you with this question Faetyls being I have this question asked ever other day it seems.

[Faetyl]

Thanks Landiin as always, you rock!

I'm not sure where to post this, and unfortunately I don't have the time to go through all of these posts to look and see if this has already been answered, so I apologize if this has been answered many times.

I'm using ThorUI for the first time, switching from Fetish Nightfall to this UI because like EQ2maps I like the autoupdates idea. But I'm noticing a few things that I'm having difficulty with. I'm using the Slim install because I have certain things I prefer over others. I have a bag UI I like (I like having my bags out at all times, so I can click on various potions whenever I want, switch weapons for AA attacks, whatever I want. I use depechemodes untitled 2/3rds bag mod. I find it smaller and more compact than anything else out there). But I also like Milquest's info center and EQ2maps over the ThorUI versions.

However, when I deselect these options, I'm still getting the grid of the map and myself - something I *know* isn't an EQ2maps fearture) and I get the ThorUI info center - my macro for Milquest's info center becomes broken. While I understand you'd like me to use you're features, I'd rather use the ones I prefer.

I went back and double checked to following were indeed deselected:

ThorUI Info Center

(But Journals, Active and Quests were selected)

Map Plugins:

deselected -
Map Plugins - POI

Map Plugin - Grid Lines

Map Plugin - Mini Map

Map Plugin - POI Visibility Toggle Button

Map Plugin - Loadmap

I'm still seeing grid lines on my map - despite this option being deselected.


And again, my sincerest apologies if this has been asked many times before or even just a few times. The UI looks really nice, I've been eyeing it for a while and finally downloaded it when a friend pointed me to it some months back and got tired of always having to reinstall my UI's when the Live Updates came out. I really appreciate any assistance anyone can offer me. I'd really like to use this UI and get it working to my satisfaction so I can use it along with Milquests info center and EQ2maps.

the thorui au doesn't delete any files so...

Per the instructions simply delete the thorui folder any time you change a feature. "EverQuest II\UI\thorui"

Once you have what you "do" like from thorui you can then simply throw other authors features in the thorui folder to use them.

Hope this answers your questions.

[Beele]

Always wonderful to have the opportunity to feel like a dunce... I have been deleting the ThorUI folder... the one with the program. Not the ThorUI folder within the eq2/ui directory. Halleluah, I have seen the light! Now to go do it on the other 2 machines I use regularly.

Having trouble figurign out how to activate timers.
my apologies if this has allready been answered. all i see is the various timers.. I can move the symbol around on each of them but cant figure out how to activate them.
pre thnx

[Faetyl]

you move the slider to the point where the dot is at the time you would like to start timing.
once the dot reaches the marker you know the predifined time has passed.

Hi,

I have looked around and cannot find this problem posted anywhere so am hoping it is just me being stupid and its an easy fix.

On the Mini map, the icon that represents me is always way down to the bottom right, no where near where i actually am.

**edit**
Also when switching from mini-map back to full map it messes up the full map layout, cutting the waypoint and create buttons area in half. Can be corrected by using the minimise map and then restoring.

Regards

Hi there,

I'm using ThorUI since several month and never had big problems. Because I was using some additional UI files, I did not use the AutoUpdate to replace older files.
With LU24 I decided to update Thor, and after I did it, my Target window, my Player window and all right-click options are gone. I just have a black window left.
I already deleted the ThorUi folder and repatched, the problem stayed.

I switched to default UI of EQ2 - Problem solved...

Currently I can't get ThorUI running...
Any idea?

Not sure if it will solve the issue or not (since using the default UI seems to work fine without it being done), but try deleting your window placement file (SERVER_CHARACTER_ui_settings.ini) file and let the game create a new one (or use the window wizard in the Thor AU to do so, so you don't have to manually arrange the windows)

On a side note, it's generally a good idea to run the updater every time you play, just in case Faetyl does any emergency updating. You can still run the updater even if you do use non-ThorUI components without worry of those files being overwritten as long as you either a) don't have that particular window selected in the Features section, and/or b) have the "Do Not Update if local file is newer" option checked (found in the Advanced Options section)

Im just starting the game and have been trying out different UIs. I have been using Fetish original but during this last update the crafting window has been out of commission. Not wanting to wait - and hearing my group mates rave about ThorUI I decided to switch.

Glad I did! This is a great UI. Along with that Im having some difficulty finding a few things.....

1) I uploaded an upgraded Knowledge window... the one with the sword down the spine. But I cant for the life of me find out how to sort the icons within. I saw the option just below the knowledge books for the knowledge sorter.... checked that box but have no idea where to find it or how to pull it up. Any tips?

2) I'm using the condensed version of the inventory window. Is there a way I can keep that open on my screen when I log in/out? have to hit the I button everytime i log in. No biggie but just thought i would ask

3) Is there a way to condense the Persona window? I liked the option in Fetish where you could have a window that shows key stats and cash on hand at a glance. I play on a PVP server and its invaluable to use. Opening the full Persona window blocks out 1/4 of my play screen

4) Is there a way to turn on spell buff descritpors on the play screen? Like profit reborn..... its nice to see the name of the buff you have cast as well as who its on.

Thanks much for all the effort you ahve put into this UI! ITs great!

ok so I have been using thor UI for quite sometime now and have always enjoyed the options it gives me in the game. I was updating thor the otherday when it installed a newer version, well after i then started eq2. I noticed when i was loading into the game it took a long time to load the UI resources. Well when i entered the game it crashed me right away. I tried everything including reinstalling the UI and the game and the map updater. I then removed all of the thor files and i can log into and play eq2. I miss my thor UI i cant stand the crappy one sony gives you, please someone help me get my ui back.

[Faetyl]

Still works fine for me.

Did you delete your uisettings file and try that?

[xoguitaristox]

Hey im super attached to thorui, like its pretty bad attached lol, i play on the test server and when ever i log on it says the inventory for ui can not be found, i've redownloaded it and it didnt fix and a few other friends are having the problem, but its only on test server, usually I wouldn't care but we transfered the guild to there for when the server goes down, and ill literally just won't touch my inventory, and im running around with alot of unattuned items .

[Faetyl]

ew, that's no fun.
I'll be sure to check it out ASAP.

Are you using my slim inventory option?
