Big Love

Hey, just down loaded the last UI update and went to check faction and realized all my tabs on my Persona are missing (. any fix in the works for this? Love the UI.

[Laffs]

Oopps lol , Try this un

[Riven]

Something I think is wrong since some versions ago (and last one also) is the numbers that show your experience. It appears on the top right corner and while it has to shown a number like 84.54 it show 84.4 and a bit of the number 5 (you can't notice what number is, only appears a tiny line). I can put a pic if you need. I use the 1280x1024 config.

EDIT: Would be nice an update to eq2map to show in map quests like LU18. Thanks

Hey, downloaded the updated laffv8 zip, this is the first UI i have tried dloading for eq2. I used ui's in wow all the time. Anyway, i followed the directions, pasted the included .ini, renamed the server_character file, placed everything where it needed to be, but when i go into the game, the UI was not together, it was all pieced out, and missing a piece it looked like here and there as well. Like I said, i followed the directions on the readme, and thats what happened. I am using an HP Pavillion Lap Top that runs the game just fine, no issues, but a 15" monitor, wasn't sure if that was the issue, as far as viewing size and resolution. Anyway, any replies would be greatly appreciated. Just got this game and a friend of mine uses this UI and it looks incredible. Thanks.

Its not as easy as it sounds to put a char settings file together as they work well for 90% of peeps and not the random 10% sorry.... But the positions of the windows should still be as near damn it .. maybe you will have to shrink the 2 chat windows down in width a bit and adjust the positions on some other windows slightly .... Also the size of the widescreen letterbox can and will bork the position of some windows also... But thats still just a case of repositioning them...

RE:
The experiance numbers consist of 5 parts if you like, that all need to overlap slightly to "cut off" that 1st digit.. for it to display the correct value.... You must be using a font that is not compatible with that as for it to work / look right it is font sensitive..

Sorry not much I can realy do about either issue here

[qualroh]

Hiya, this is is the first UI i've downloaded besides EQ2MAPs. Is it possible to run the UI in 1440x900 resolution? I have a widescreen laptop that I play on, and that's the usual resolution I play at. The UI is great, but it apparently doesn't fit on my screen, things are smooshed together. Just wondering.
Thanks.

Which font do I need to use, then? I haven't changed anything from initial configuration, though

[Laffs]

It is /Fonts.FontZapf16 that I was using for that window... but since they changed the fonts so much maybe it dont display properley anymore then /shrug

Looks fine still in the UI builder likes (as always lol) .. Looks like I will have to include the old font into the download the to correct it or maybe even mess with the new ones and get it to work... so its Pending then guys and thanks for pointing it out

Nice
On the other hand, I've just bought a 20,2 TFT Widescreen monitor and had a hard work reconfiguring windows for that UI (1680x1050). If anyone needs it I can post it (with Laffs' permission, of course).

[Laffs]

Sure m8 thanks go ahead and post it please I will place it in the download folder as that rez has been asked for a couple of times

[Stitch]

Hey Laff or someone else that may have the file I need.

I really enjoyed the zipped files that you had with all the perdigraphics in it. I changed them quite often. I usually stuck with the blue one that you had.

Well I noticed that you don't have that up for download anymore. Is there anyway you can either send me that file or post it up for download again.

Thanks a ton for all your hard work.

Stitch

[Laffs]

This is all that I can find that remains of them, Im sure there was more than this but looks like they are lost, Unless sombody has a more complete set kicking about on the drive..

[Stitch]

Once again a true testament to your greatness

That is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks

[Dargathi]

Witht he current version, upgraded correctly I'm eeing htis error whenever I pick up a quest

(1136727004)[Sun Jan 08 13:30:04 2006] The Popup RewardPack_clone_3 window is not compatible with the current client
Please upgrade your UI mod to a compatible version or revert to the default UI (/loadui default).

Any ideas?

[Laffs]

Delete "eq2ui_popup_rewardpack.xml" from the LAFFSV8 folder as for what the clone 3 stuff is about I dont know lol... If for some reason there is any files that say "clone_3" or whatever in there then delete them as well.

[Draconass]

This one isn't all that major, but you did say anything. I noticed that in 1280x1024 res that the tier info window gets cut off at the bottom. This would normally not be an issue, but it also will not allow me to resize it. If you can tell me what line of code to mess with and what file, I can manually resize it, but I'm not too familiar with xml, so I'm halfway afraid I'll break it.

Here's a pic of what i'm talking about.

[Laffs]

Bit outta date that window likes ... I forgot about it lol

I made it resizable anyways give this un a try.

[colinmarsh00]

this probably isn't related to the ui at all but since the folks in tech support at soe are typically a complete waste of time and folks here so great i figured i'd ask

whenever i log into game my widescreen letterbox settings do not keep. i hate this damn option and always want it all the way minimum. however no matter what it's back to standard when i log back in.

the really irritating frustration with it is when i go to swing it back to minimum after logging back in it moves several of the ui pieces areound with it. they move towards the top and bottom of the screen. typically it's the eq2 button window, the spell effects window and a few others.

anyone had a similar issue or have any ideas how to stop this?

the 2nd thing is that the vendor window in the ui has white squares next to the different coin denominations. it's been this way for months and i quite happily ignore it since this ui kicks so much tail but i'm wondering if that's something about my settings or that's something everyone sees.

[Laffs]

Remove these lines from the eq2.ini file

cl_letter_box_amount 0.110000
letterbox_frame_visible false

That is what is restting your letterbox... As for some of the windows moving with it yes that does happen even with default UI..

Is it just the merchant window that is missing the icons for the coins or is it all the market windows? .... It seems to be fine on my system here so either I have missed a .dds file out of the download or the reference to the coin icons I have has changed.... Let me know please and I will fix it asap

[colinmarsh00]

as usual you have all the answers, my letterbox is happily staying correctly in place now, i'm very pleased.

for me the coin icons are missing on the broker and vendor windows. i think i've always just downloaded the new version and overwritten everything but maybe i missed a window or two.

the coin icons do appear on the quest window when it previews the reward.

[Cuestik]

Hi. When I run eq2map, the map works fine but I do not get locations for my group members. The red dot that represents the party membesr simply doesn't show up.

Also, when I downloaded the UI and followed the instructions, all the windows were out of place, they were for my friend as well.

[Laffs]

Have a look on the eq2 map section reguarding the issue with the map as I dont include a map with my UI's

Its the char settings file re-check that you have renamed that file correctly and it is placed in the main everquest2 folder.

[Aladinsane]

Just a little thing, but

Have noticed that the exp debt counter appears to be slightly out - though it may well be on sony's side

Having recently done an eventful raid, and got my armour down to 20%, I had a huge amount of debt... LOL

Now I could see that the exp percentage was going up in the correct increments, but the debt was reducing seemingly at random - often in several percentage points at a time

I do suspect this is at sony's side but just wanted to be sure......

[Laffs]

Yep its on sonys side as all my mod does is display the info that they send to it, aka dynamic data

Along the same lines that might explain why is this -

Say you have 2 mobs not grouped both same type and level you kill mob 1 and get 1.5 exp (say) then you kill identical mob 2 and only get 1.0 exp for the kill !.....

Reason being alough both mobs are identical mob 1 has more health points than mob 2 !, As the heath points given to mobs have ranges even acrross same type and level

I am sure there will be sombody to dispute that info in some way but,

That is just what I personaly found, when wondering what was going on a while back...

Though i did kill alot of beetles in EL last week to gain a level and found that about 1 out of 10 gave a different exp gain.

[colinmarsh00]

one more question on this one. is there a way to lock the raid window in place. everytime i changed between full screen and windowed mode and every time i leave and join the raid the 4 sub windows appear back on the upper left of the screen.

[Lindar]

First off a HUGE thank you for your work.. I've been loving this mod!

if I were to make one request it would be the compass. As much as I hate to admit I do use Coordinates to find things from time to time... simply having them on Mousover if not permantley displayed would be a godsend, and prefer the green/red indicators some of the other compases are using. Its the only piece of your UI I am not using... but I would sure like too!

[Aladinsane]

just noticed something

the panel under persona that lists the languages spoken needs to scroll, and mine doesn't....

I may have broken something but just in case I thgt I would mention it

Keep up the good work btw!

If you have "eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml" file in the LAFFSV8 folder then please delete it as I dont have a modded version of that window atm.. If the file is not there then it is a bug with the default window that you are seeing..

Thanks for the feedback anyway

[wrathkamp]

I can't find the "eq2.ini" file in your download. I'm a real dummy when it comes to things like this. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Laand

[Laffs]

After you unzip the file and open you should see it

[wrathkamp]

Thanks for your prompt reply. After downloading to my desktop and unzipping, I get another folder called Laffsv8 3-2. Inside of that folder is another folder called Laffs_alt_perdition_Bottom_TyeJae.

Inside of that folder I have the following:
1) Alt windows 900x800 JPEG Image
2) eq2 (configuration settings 1kb)
3) eq2ui custompreset
4) READ ME !!
5) servername charactername eq2 us settings (I have 3 of these, one of which I labled "oasis_laand_eq2_uisettings.ini" but have not yet moved it to it's proper destination)
6) blackburrow menia eq2uiset...
7) eq2ui custompreset
8) eq2ui mainhud target
9) Windows

I simply can't find that "eq2.ini" file. <sob> What in the world am I doing wrong? Thanks,

Laand

[Aladinsane]

may need to alter the view command in windows as i believe ini files are treated as system files and may well be hidden by default.....

[Laffs]

Thats probably it ... folder options, view hidden system files and folders also uncheck the box that says hide file extentions for known file types.

[Meayen]

Greetings Laffs


Im in need of your help again i have the TabletsII Shutdown window but all i see is black when i use the camp section but if i find the buttons with the mouse it works just cant see anything can you please help

Thanks in advance

P.S if you need the file PM me and ill mail it to you thanks again

[Laffs]

You will need to place the .dds image file that the tablets 2 mod refers to into the images folder that is contained in the Laffsv8 folder.

[Meayen]

/sigh i dont see a reference to any dds file in the xml file

[Laffs]

Anyother sort of ref to a graphics file then? .tga maybe?

Failing that there must be a ref to a custom .xml style then you would have to find that file and place it in laffs folder then do an include statement in the mainhud file.

[slackass]

There any plans to update this for the newest LU?

Or any things I can do to make mine work.

I love the Tyjae bottom and can't seem to find another UI that I like as well.
