Fetish Nightfall Full Release - Page 76

Faoj · #**1876** 08-06-2006, 11:39 PM

Faedilest: This comes from the included FetishNightfall.doc:

• InfoCenter: Added and reskinned Milquetowst InfoCenter. Integrated help buttons for the following windows – Quest Journal, Tradeskills, Knowledge, Socials.

So: Click on the 'help' icon on any of those windows to bring up the infocenter (instead of the standard SOE help).

I'm not sure if these are a SoE problem, or just something with the Nightfall interface (Which I love, thanks, Zonx!).

First, with the pet bar, if I try to drag one of the pet bar icons and place it on a hotbar location (such as Pet Attack), the game crashes to desktop with an error.

I'd really like to use their icon on my hotbar, for ease of clicking, as I tend to keep my pet's bar up near my own. I can make a macro button for it, but there are only so many available icons that SoE provides us, and they all pretty much suck. (Is there a way to import other icons for macro use????)

Second, if I try to drag some item to/from the detachable bag bar, the game crashes to desktop with an error. I periodically forget that this happens each time, and end up crashing to desktop, invariably as some mob jumps me, of course. lol

Thanks to any responders!

I may be wrong on this, but I think both of those are remaining issues from LU #25 on Sony's side.

Pet button related crashes are a SOE issue.

The Bag Strip crash bug related to drag and drop is well documented and clearly identified as something you SHOULD NOT DO.

Bag Strip is a total hack that depends on fooling the client into thinking that window is the Inventory window. We're lucky it works well enough to display icons and open stuff, but the client's drag and drop handler simply doesn't know how to deal with that window's address. Dragging from or dropping to the Bag Strip (or any other MainHUD.Inventory) will crash the client and there's no way for modders to resolve the issue. Since its not a standard SOE window, its highly unlikely SOE will ever do anything about it.

First, let me say that this is the best UI I have ever used.

I do have a slight problem, however. I have installed the latest version, and on my main character, the Quest Helper Window is visible and may be turned on and off with alt-j. On any other of my 8 characters, the window is not visible, and I cannot find any way to make it visible. It's certainly not game breaking, but it's convenient to see what I'm working on and its progress. I wonder if anyone else has this problem or could offer a suggestion. I should add I did not have this problem on previous versions. Thanks so much.

Cylver

garylian · #**1882** 08-12-2006, 09:45 AM

Thanks for the reply, Zonx. I had a feeling it was SoE, and the bag strip thing makes perfect sense. I'm just a doofus for forgetting time and time again!

Faoj · #**1883** 08-12-2006, 10:09 AM

Cylver: There should be a check-box on the main Quest Window that turns the Quest Helper on/off. I think it is in the lower right of the frame.

Shadow312 · #**1884** 08-12-2006, 12:13 PM

Hi, first off I apologise if these have been answered already, I checked a bunch of pages but don't have time to go through all, now for my questions.
1) Is there anyway to make the clock window go away? I prefer an experience bar that already has that info and I'd rather not have it twice.
2) How do I stop that stat bar from loading everytime the game starts up?
3) I was in a group with someone yesterday who was posting DPS stats, he said it's something in this UI, I looked everywhere and couldn't find it, he also said there is nightvision button which I can't find !>_<

~Thanks in advance

Faoj,

Thanks for the reply...I double-checked, and the check-box is enabled on every character that has no Quest Helper. I unchecked it and rechecked it, with no resolution of the problem...still no Quest Helper, but I appreciate your help

Faoj · #**1886** 08-12-2006, 10:53 PM

cylver: Hmmm. Ok - try one/both of these.
(1)
Bring up your Options window, go to Controls -> Window Keys
Scroll down until you see the row for 'Quest Helper'. Assign it a key.
Hit 'Accept' to close the Options Window.
Now: That key you picked should toggle the visibility of the Quest Helper Window.
I am thinking that it maybe got turned off by mistake. See if you can toggle the Quest Helper Window 'on' using that key.
Make sure the Quest Window still has the 'show Quest Helper' checked.

(2)
Rename your 'eq2.ini' file, and restart the game.
That will give you the official, default SoE UI.
See if the Quest Helper Window shows up. You might have to do (1) above.

shadow123:
(1) See (1) above - you can use that to assign a toggle key to the clock.
I THINK the game will remember how you have it set.
(2) By 'stat bar', do you mean the long, two-row bar of persona stats?
If so, bring up your Persona Window. There is a toggle for the two-row bar in the upper left corner.
(3) I dont know about the DPS stats. That MIGHT be a setting in Options.
There are a number of 'start button' mods out there that replace the big EQII button. One of these, for example, is by Goldi.
These often have a number of additional buttons on them, including a 'night vision' button.

cylver · #**1887** 08-13-2006, 02:05 PM

Thanks again, I had tried 1 and 2 already. So I tried reinstalling, no luck, lost command center. I finally deleted the Fetish directory and did a new install with all addons...still no luck. Finally I logged in a small character I had not played for a long time on another server. I was asked if I wanted to import UI settings. That made me think, so I logged on the problem characters, used load_uisettings, imported the UI from the main character that was working, and there it was, the Quest Helper. I'm not really sure why this works, but it does. I won't question it.

Again, I appreciate the time you gave me...take care...

Cylver

Faoj · #**1888** 08-13-2006, 10:15 PM

Well: That is interesting.

I knew that a character's UI settings are saved in a file, but I figured that option changed in-game would alter that file.

It now sounds like that is not (always) the case: Ie., maybe there was something "wrong" with some of your characters' UI file, which the UI import "fixed" by replacing the entire file.

Or, of course, it could have just been the Ghost In The Machine taking pity on you.

**Savie** · #**1889** 08-13-2006, 11:14 PM

It could have been that cylver was allowing windows offscreen as well. =)

Kharzon · #**1890** 08-21-2006, 02:35 PM

Zonx,

Love the UI. I am wondering if there is anyway to get just the map portion and the inventory portion in a seperate file, updated for LU26?

mrwuss · #**1891** 08-27-2006, 09:44 AM

in a 76 page thread with basic searching I an unable to find a solution to my problem.

At times eq2map and fetish do not seem to get along leaving me with POIs from different zones on the current zone I am on, or my character placement on the map is completely wrong.

Any ideas?

zarobhr · #**1892** 08-31-2006, 06:42 AM

Wynd · #**1893** 09-02-2006, 10:44 AM

Hi,

Installed Fetish a few days ago, and I dop like the look of the UI so far however after me carefully setting up window postions etc and quiting to desktop, when i relog into EQ2 the interface is messed up, windows missing/moved etc. So i have to reset everything.. delete my uisettings file and start again to get it working again.

Any idea whats causing this, and how to fix it ?

Oawi · #**1895** 09-05-2006, 04:53 PM

I just installed nightfall 6.6 last night and it was working perfectly then today I logged in and now the bar underneath the player health/power and party member's bar area is missing. When I log in it initially shows for like 2 seconds then vanishes. It's the bar that shows your gold, mitigation and other stats.

Any ideas on why this is doing that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

**lordebon** · #**1896** 09-05-2006, 09:32 PM

S1nn3r

I used to have a bug like that, but I thought they fixed it. Make sure you delete the uisettings file and make sure its gone for that character.

Oawi

I believe that bar might not be enabled by default, but due to the way the UI loads some things may show up when loading that 'go away' later. Can you re-open the window in the normal fashion (I think its through a tiny button on the inventory window at the bottom -- I don't use that bar so I'm not 100% sure).

Conor · #**1897** 09-06-2006, 10:29 AM

I love Fetish Nightfall -- wouldn't play the game without it! Thanks for all your work on this!

I think I found a couple of bugs, haven't seen these reported before:

1. When doing a timed quest, like the JBoots races, I can't see the time remaining in the quest window -- it's just a red box.

2. In the guild member status window the entry height isn't quite enough to display all the data. The "Joined on...." data is cut off on the bottom. Is there a way to increase the height of each member entry?

I'm using Fetish 6.6 in 1600 x 1050. The bugs above are minor and don't prevent me from using the UI in any way. Just thought I'd mention them to get them on the list for the next release.

Regards,

Mephistophles

mmcrorey · #**1898** 09-06-2006, 11:03 AM

hmmm....was looking at other interfaces to see if they fixed this problem yet. ThorUI just has to remove inventory_inventory and it works. Did this, even removed ALL inventory files, but still crashes.

Just wanted to let you know what I have tried so far.

**lordebon** · #**1899** 09-06-2006, 11:20 AM

Hmm, this problem must not stem from just FetishUI...

I just logged in with Fetish Nightfall and everything played fine.

The only problem is the paperdoll thing is now just a gray block -- but no crashes or anything.

Suojure · #**1900** 09-06-2006, 11:39 AM

The command center is causing my crashes.... I reinstalled just Fetish and it worked... reinstalled the command center and started crashing again.
