Yea they will do that. I need to get a real border glow fixed up. The way it is now is just a quick fix to see the edge of the window while frames are off.

Looking into this issue ATM. Seems clicking in dead space along the edge isn't working either.

For now till I get it fixed, the work around is;

Oddly shape the hot bar (make the row on top have more icons then the row on bottom) and right click in the empty space to get the full context menu.

Hello all,

I just downloaded and installed this UI. From the screen shots that I see it looks great. However, all of the boxes are messed up on my screen. Is there a setup guide?

Thanks,
Nittany

Today I found the problem with my bags but I don't have any idea to fix it.

I play EQ2 in fullscreen but from time to time I switch back to window mode (alt+enter) for read a quest info with my browser. After this I switch back to fullscreen.

And now all bags goes a little bit lower on the screen. And this is on every switch from window to fullscreen modus.

haven't used this, but with the new changes in LU34, I have tried saving my settings, and I get the message save failed. how can I save the settings also, to be able to use the preset selections?

The AUCP is telling you the save failed or the game is telling you the save faled?

I'm under options, and having adjusted a few different settings (rendering distance and particle size) the option window has several options at the bottom, default, save, load, accept, cancel. I click save, and then I get the save failed message.

As always, thanks for your continued work on extremeUI, Landiin. It's a great UI and we all really appreciate the effort.

A few things, though, that could use some attention:

1. I am also having the problem with saving performance settings. In LU34, they implemented the option to save custom performance/quality settings using the options screen, but this doesn't seem to be working with extremeUI. When I click the "Save" button on the options screen, I get an error message.

2. Quest sharing was implemented in LU34, but the extremeUI quest journal does not support it yet. Specifically, there is no "Share" button, as there is in the default UI.

3. Changes to the LFG system are coming soon in LU35. Changes to the UI will need to be made to support the new features. I'm not sure if you've done any work on this yet, but just giving you a heads up.

Thanks again.

1. I will look at saving settings, however I am not sure if there is any thing I will be able to do about that as that is a hard coded function not really part of the UI other then the button and edit box. The Option screen isn't part of the extreme mod so you my need to delete that file if it is in your UI directory.
2. I'll get that added ASAP
3. Yes I seen that in the test notes.

smoknjoes41 and mackdaddy62 are you by chance running Win Vista?

[MacDaddy62]

No, I'm running Windows XP.

[MacDaddy62]

Also, whatever changes you just made to eq2ui.xml screwed things up. My chat windows, health/mana bar, and control panel are all black and white now instead of their normal colors, and replacing that file with an older version fixes the problem.

Yeah, after todays update I have the same problems, the exp window has lost the percentage values as well. Can't tell what the targets health or power is, can't see it. I hope this can be fixed quickly.

[Landiin]

Opps, forgot to add eXtremeStyles to the eq2.xml Sorry about that! All should be fixed now.

[swfan4life]

Is there an ETA on the quest sharing thing?

Yep, works like a charm now

[Landiin]

If you are reporting a bug, I ask you to go to My Portal and post them there. You may also post them here but posting them on the portal will help me keep track of what I need to do, to get eXtreme back in shape.

[MacDaddy62]

Thanks for the fixes, Land. When I read your update notes in the patcher, the part about eq2i.com reminded me that extreme didn't support the new eq2 web browser last I checked. I checked again and confirmed that it still doesn't work right. I posted a bug report on your portal. Thanks.

The new web browser works just fine for me. I've had to of opened it 100 + times tonight testing different ideas out. I'll do a total download of eXtreme and see if there is missing files in the updater.

Oh you must be talking about the HTML button on the EXP window.?.? If so thanks for bringing that to my attintion! Just fixed that and add the fixed file to the updater!

[MacDaddy62]

Err yea, the HTML button on the XP window is what I was talking about. I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know you could bring up the browser with /browser until just now. =p However, the "Browser" button doesn't actually do anything for me now. Also, while we're talking about XP window buttons, the helm/hood drop-down menu actually hasn't worked for quite some time. You can bring up the little menu by clicking on it, but clicking any of the options doesn't change what's displayed when the menu is collapsed and doesn't change what's actually displayed on the character. I've filed bug reports for both these problems. Thanks.

Yea noticed that the drop down doesn't work for helm, but it does work for hoods. I'll have to look at that code another day. As for the browser button not work, /blushes I misspelled browser (broser) in the command. It's been fixed and put on the updater. I verified it this time before upping it lol.

[smoknjoes41]

Sorry I didn't get back faster, I run window xp to answer your previous question. Looks like nice changes too Landlin!

[swfan4life]

I was wondering if I could get some help. I absolutely love this UI and use it on 3 computers in my house. However, we also have 2 laptops and we cant seem to get it to work on them. Every time we set it up it doesnt save the settings and it goes back to all the panes being in the wrong place.

We have gone into the AUCP settings and all that, but everytime we open the AUCP it still says that extreamui is not our default and do we want to make it. We can't get it to save on our laptops for some reason. As I said, we use it on 3 desktops and it works like a champ, but for some reason we cant get it on our laptops.

Do you have any idea what might be causing this, or has anyone else had this issue?

Thank you in advance for your help, and thanks for such a wonderful UI...I can't play without it!!!

[Landiin]

Sometimes and I'm not quite sure why when you click yes it doesn't save for some reason. I would debug it but Umm I lost the source when my HD crashed a while back and haven't bothered recoding it the AUCP.

Any way what you can do is; open up settings in the AUCP and go to the eq2.ini setting part. Make sure it has eXtreme as the default ui. Then click the save button below. If the save button is greyed out, just change one of the values and change it back and that should ungrey the save button so you can save.

Hope that help. If it doesn't there is a copy of eq2.ini in the ui/eXtreme/uisettings folder you can copy over to the main EQ2 directory.
