I've tried about everything. I was using 2.5.3 before downloading 2.5.5 and I have reinstalled it several times hoping that I might have gotten a bad file or something. Everything else works great except for the large XP numbers : )

I went in and patched a single file to make the highspeed.ttf font be used instead of the one defined in the newer versions of the ui, it works fine here now for me.. if you want I can send you the patched file to try out (you will also need the highspeed.ttf file from the older versions too)

Ariven, that would be awesome! Thanks a lot - email is [email protected].

solved my own problem. Looked in the implied target file to fine that Speedline was named /Profit.Font.Font22 then in the styles file to fine Font22 was pointed to a file under the path /UI/ProfitUI/Font/Speedline. When I saw that I knew what was wrong, I was using my customUI directory set to a different name. So it had the wrong path. Might be of interest to others that the ui is designed to work exactly as is and even small changes like a directory name can throw it off.

On a side note, I think this has been answered somewhere but not sure where. Anyone know why I always get all my channels in my default window when I log in? Quite annoying having to set up the tabs every time.

it is wending its way to you now.. let me know if you dont get it.

Armus550, the chat channels are a long standing bug by SOE. No known solution (except making a "phantom" tab that you never use as the first one). And with respect to the folder name: I decided to move the custom fonts in the ProfitUI folder to keep all interface files in one spot. The drawback is that you will have to edit the file as you did when changing folders. There is also a custom path to "Arial", but this will default to the font already installed by your Windows if the path is wrong.

Thanks ariven, that should work for sure. That's also the solution I chose for the next release. You will be able to optionally replace some or all bitmap fonts by ttf fonts (I have also changed something with the bitmap font but I have little hope that this will help). I guess I'll be able to post it tomorrow (I'm currently out of country, i.e. away from my PC...)

Dunno, works fine here. Try to go to your ProfitUI folder, find eq2ui_inventory_market.xml and open it with notepad. Find the text 2.0.0 and replace it by 3.0.0. Might help. The next release will have a new market window with this included.

[Sinlainu]

It worked perfectly! Thanks so much for all the help. My ProfitUI is absolutely perfect now. I love it ! : )

huh, interesting. Still can't get this to work. The options show it assigned to "r" and "backspace" but neither actually works. Tried disabling the interface and using default and it worked fine then. Really, really strange and annoying stuff =(

Oh well, if anyone has any other ideas and thoughts on this I'd certainly appreciate it. Thanks!

Basically im trying to mod the file so that the bottom bar shows the following:

Str: # Agi: # Sta: # Wis: # Int: # Hst: #% Dps: #% - Resist Section - Atk / Def section

Basically moving the Dps to the left side, and re-aranging the order of the stats. I have done it but I cant get the alignment to be precise... I mean it looks good but some of the spacing is larger then other spots, when i adjust it just throws it off more. Im new to XML but I know PHP and ASP very good. XML is totally differnt then what im used to working with so Im studing it up now. Anyways does anyone know how i can fix alignment issue or can someone post code of what im trying to do.

*EDIT*
Ignore above I manage to get it worked out, got alignment perfect and broke the Haste / DPS into its own section so it scales down with resolution changes.

On another note, as to bugs I have noticed that quest helper section when set on click though mode does not allow you to click through still... if you click to get a target that is behind the transparent box it will bring up qst jurnal.

However, I've been going through the game options and found the following option: User Interface -> Chat window -> Allow clicking through window (actual wording might be different).If you check this option, you will indeed be unable to move the chat window. I suppose that this is the problem you are having. Could you please confirm whether you have this option checked?

I noticed that the default chat window has a tiny area to the top where you can still grab and move it even with this option checked, so if this option is indeed the problem I suppose I can change my window accordingly.

Quite correct gm9, I probably clicked that option sometime in the past.

Thanks for figuring it out, your rock!

I have this slight issue with having multiple chatwindows in the latest Profit version that might be related to this problem. I ended up having to kill all tabs and windows and then re-make them. Mostly because prior to that, each time SOE sent a systemwide message it would open up all sorts of new windows (or reveal transparent ones that have been there all along). And even after rearranging all my chatwindows I have to right click my mainchat and select "Always Chat Here" each time I log on or my text will end up in a completely different window.

When you press R or Backspace, look through your tabs and various chatwindows and I'm sure you'll see it somewhere. Better yet, if you remember to select "Always Chat Here" when you first log in you should be set. Unless it's a completely unrelated problem hehe.

Whats really wierd is the small number (the decimal) was just fine..

side note, what do you use to edit the files that dont load in the uibuilder? the one "XML" editor I have did something funky to the file that would prevent EQ2 from loading so I had to make do on the font file replacement.. (I am definately a XML newbie here)

[Armus550]

not that I got Speedline working, I noticed it's not enacted on the pet window.

[rochambeau]

Is there a way to reposition the popup windows that you get when you mouse over hotbar icons?

No matetr where I position my bars, the popups seem to lay over the bars,making it hard to select...

[gm9]

Vanyari , maybe this is related to your problem: http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/e...ssage.id=13619

LiquidFusion17, with respect to your alignment issues I'll just point out that the game aligns text differently on different computers, just so you know the hell that I am in.

pox67, I'm really glad that this problem is finally solved. I'll try to change my chat window so that it works even with this option on.

Pixi, if I remember correctly, the multiple chat window issues are caused by a corrupt .ini file. Try to backup yours and start clean to see if it goes away.

ariven, yeah, it's really weird - I spend most of the time that I work on the UI to find workarounds for bugs that logically shouldn't be there... Personally, I edit the XML files in notepad or in UIbuilder. All XML files open in UIbuilder, btw (the fonts are found in the "Profit" folder in UIbuilder). And if you change something that crashes the client you've usually forgotten to terminate a string or a special character.

Armus550, there are several sizes of speedline used. Just open up the _styles file and do a search/replace for "ProfitUI" and replace with your UI directory name and you should be fine. But is speedline even used on the pet window? I think it's Arial actually...

rochambeau, there's no way that I know of. I've disabled hotbar popups for this reason, because it gets really annoying...

Call me silly, but I never knew you could disable them. They've annoyed me from day 1. How do I disable them? Thanks.

Alt-O, user interface, in there you will find loads of window controls.

My monitor is 1680x1050 resolution. I've enclosed the .ini file as an attachment for those with a similar monitor sizes.

Found Bugs / Issues:

• Click through feature on Quest Helper does not work.
• Click through feature on Target / Implied Target does not work.
• Click through feature on the Compass does not work.
• Select / Inspect remain over Target / Implied Target when none.
• Broker system does not allow drag and drop searches.
• After /camp <name> It makes my HP bars glitchy. (Explained Below)
• When your class is a Swashbuckler and you Mentor your Lvl / Adv Class appears glitched. (Explained Below)

After camping to switch to a differnt toon I come on and Notice that my HP % color is Green, My targets HP % color is green, and My implied target has no HP %. See Screenshot.

As a Swashbuckler when I mentor someone the Level / Adv class name appears inside my Level / Tradeskill Class name. Seems like it would be an easy fix.

As to requests, only request I have would be to add a Close button on Inventory like the bags have with the small mouseover icons in each corner. Pressing I isnt too difficult though

Other then this, Keep up the great work. Made a few adjustments to it myself and have it exactly how I like it.

LOL, sorry text is so small in the screenshot looked decent in photoshop but I forgot that photobucket re-sizes images... Cant wait until my web server is back up.

[lollygagger]

Is it just me or is there no "remove quantity" option on the Sell tab?

If there's another way to remove more than one item at a time, fill me in please.

Is the exp bar in code or some thing......so many dots means i have this much exp? I just can not figure out how people can read it.....

Good thinking, my friend. I'll give it a spin and see if it helps. Thanks.

Tiny problem really...wouldn't consider it a problem if it were the lower Player bars rather than the upper. Using this at 1280x1024 Res, loaded up for the first time and the upper left Player Info area was actually at the bottom of the UI, and partially cut off at the bottom (cuting the Power bar in half and cutting the lower portion of the Exp total off). Not huge, but I couldn't seem to find a way to reset it to show the rest of the power bar and Exp total...was like it permanently cut it off because it was off screen. Is there a way to redo this? I tried simply resetting my UI and deleting/reinstalling the UI and it "started" in the same position. Hmm :P
