I am having a problem when i do not specifically click in the chat window before i type it will over lay what is in the bottom. Is there any way around this?

Slavezero2u · #2 09-24-2006, 09:23 AM

Just as a quick comment, on the Inventory page of the new UI there are now the Sts option and a new view your characters head option, every time I try to use the new view feature my entire eq2 crashes and gives me an error code of
Directx Error. (D3DERR_INVALIDCALL) plus the file directory, except that I did notice that under the call directory it starts with C:\live\eq2....
however my folder is directly eq2 could this be part of the problem?

Then you didn't look hard enough because on this page and the previous one Zonx already said that the current UI would most likely not work and that he was going to have an update soon for it.

Thanks again Zonx for your hard work in making the best UI out there. I went back to the default UI for now and boy does it suck compared to yours

SiNiStEr_NaTiOn · #5 11-15-2006, 11:35 AM

I had been using fetish UI's since the early days of 05, and I really do appreciate the work that is involved in this. Whenever a Live Update (LU) but now called Game Update (GU) is release and I can see some major changes of the windows i use allot, it's time time to use the bulky default.

The only problem I have is how to get the map updater to reconize the default UI until Zonx is able to get a updated version out. But I know this I 'm gonna post it over at the map updater section.

But getting back on track, I had hit this forum early yesterday and i saw the rough time frame for the update nightfall. I appreciate the work that is involved with this UI after all this is a complete UI that had been rebuilt from the ground up.

So my final words to Zonx

"Keep it up Zonx your doing one fantastic job, who cares if it takes a little longer. After all this is one of best darn UI on the EQ2 Interface, that has such extensive work involved in it."

Tyrade · #6 11-16-2006, 01:34 PM

Well said Sinister,
This is without a doubt the best UI available and Zonx ALWAYS comes thru. Yes the default rots, But I for one will never have a problem waiting for an update from Zonx. Its always worth it.
Keep up the Great work Zonx, and take your time. we will be here. 8)

I there a way to have just the persona bar show up in my UI. I really like that feature, and am customizing my own UI from different parts

Deathstrike613 · #8 11-21-2006, 12:15 AM

Nevermind, I found the single element. However that didn't work, so my question still stands.

jbremer831 · #9 11-27-2006, 04:55 PM

I seem to be having issues with my background color on opened boxes they all have a black background even my health/power window is black. tried leaving a few chat channels and the lvl chan is black so i can not ckick it to see it to leave it or join any. Please Help, I really enjoy Fetish UI hope to get this fixed

SiNiStEr_NaTiOn · #10 11-27-2006, 05:23 PM

what's up with the chatting, I alway had my chat channel set to guild and just type away and hit enter and it will be in the guild chat, but now i have to type in /gu, this is such a pain. is there a way to fix this so I can chat in the channel i select instead of using commands, because i'm always busy with something like fighting and typing the command first is just straight out pain in the arse.

Also with the map updater, why come all the sudden it want to overwrite that file, because i alway had it unchecked about asking to overwrite.

wolfmoonct · #11 11-27-2006, 05:40 PM

Sinester the chat is not a UI issue. It's a problem with SOE. They broke the chat. Everyone including people who do not use custom UI's are having the same problem.

Reinstall FetishUI from the most recent zip file. Sounds like you're missing some image files.

SiNiStEr_NaTiOn · #13 11-28-2006, 02:10 AM

k, it's good to blame SoE for something that they broke.

zarobhr · #14 11-28-2006, 03:25 PM

i have notice in reference to the timer over laping the writ items to craft that if i click and hold the little box to the left of the 1st item to make i can drag the items down a little under the timer, it will hold till i log off

BillyJoeBob · #15 11-29-2006, 11:48 AM

The default skin doesn't have the problem with the elongated timer bar covering up writ information in the mini quest helper. I have tried to identify which file it is exactly so I could swap them, but I don't know which file controls the mini quest helper. Does anybody know?

LOL I've been doing the crafting writs now with the big journal window since they were reintroduced.

Madmoon · #16 12-01-2006, 03:30 PM

Anyone have any help on these?

1) Maps -
a) Some maps, the tool-tips for the items on the map do not come up. I hover over an NPC, or quest dot, or zone, but no pop-up text. I was in Varsoons, and no text appeared. Zoned up to the Steppes, and all there was fine.
b) Still having occasional overlay issues - the icons for one zone over the other. Was in Nektulos, and had it AND East Commonlands icons. For example, had a zone icom for Nectropolis Castle AND The Graveyard. Rebooted and all was fine. Also happens with two-map zones, occasionally.

2) Chat while zoning does not work. I receive chat, and can read it, but not reply or type new text.

Any help would be much appreciated

1) Do a search, you'll find a post on Rivervale in the EQ2MAP section allll abuot that.

2) You have to click on the chatbar to start typing. Just hitting / doesn't work while zoning. Also, it depends on what stage of zoning you are... sometimes it 'locks' it and sometimes messages sent don't go through. Just don't do anything while "loading zone info" or any times that you find the messages don't go through. I think thats one reason SOE probably made the full-screen zoning window.

**Zonx** · #18 12-02-2006, 04:39 AM

1) Wrong map or double map issues should be almost entirely eliminated. Problems can still come up if for some reason the client misfires the scripts. If that happens, you can still manually resolve the issue in game by selecting the correct map from the menus, then hitting the "S" button in the lower right corner.

Currently there is a bug on SOE's end with older indoor zones. Though these zones never had fog to begin with, the empty fog layer is blocking POI mousover. You'll need to check and uncheck the fog button to use POIs in these zones.

2) Keyboard commands to activate the chat input area while zoning have never (and probably will never) work. You have to manually click the chat area while zoning.

wolfmoonct · #19 12-02-2006, 07:29 AM

Hey Zonx, can the bags be brought back to default size? I have a hard time dragging items out of inventory sometimes. A lot of times, I have to try it 3-4 times, to get it to work, and even them sometimes it's the item next to the target one, not the one I'm actually tyring to move. Can the tracking window keep the scroll bar and the color dots all the time? I like the layout of the persona window, but wonder if it's possible to make the window and icons bigger also.

I also just logged in, and mouseover on the tradeskill recipes, is no longer showing any info about them. I cannot tell what ones I've made now and what ones I have not. Do you know if this is a Sony change?

**Zonx** · #20 12-02-2006, 09:39 AM

The drag icon problems have nothing to do with slot size, its a bug on SOE's end and affects everything dragable.

In any event, the upcoming release will include alternate bag sizes, so if you prefer 100% scale bags, you'll be able to set that up. For now, you can trash eq2ui_inventory_bag.xml from your Fetish directory to use the default bag.

Generally my users want to reduce screen clutter, so no I don't intend to increase the size of the Inspect window or its icons. If you prefer a bulkier window, trash eq2ui_mainhud_inspectplayer.xml from your Fetish directory and the default window will load.

For similar reasons, I don't intend to have everything in the Track window always show. However I will see if I can link the stealthing to the Window controls so users can have more control over it. Again, if you prefer the default Tracking window, just trash eq2ui_mainhud_tracking.xml from your Fetish directory.

Most individual window mods from other developers can be added to Nightfall without breakage, so you might want to look at what alternatives are available for those windows.

Brimacombe · #21 12-05-2006, 11:11 AM

First of all, yeah, your UI rocks, no one can really say otherwise, even if they use another. It's a heck of a good job.
The one part I am not really enjoying is the chatbar. When I hit return to autochat, unless my mouse is over the chatbar, I am typing underneath the previous line in the chat. Yes, I am a terrible typer, but it makes it harder to look at what I am typing so I am not sending out a line of greek salad. Is this an error of mine installing, can another chat mod be used, or do I have to consider other options. I would really like to stick with this UI.

Thanks,
Brimacombe

shelstar · #22 12-05-2006, 11:40 AM

Brimacombe,

I had this problem too with the chatbox, the problem only happen however if you aren't showing the title bar and frame. If you turn those back you will stop typing through a line of chat. Hope that helps.

Daemonic · #24 12-14-2006, 06:33 AM

Zonx or anyone is there a different file or one that is able to be made I am able to use for my abilities windows, I find that it is far too crowded when sorting through spells, combat arts and abilities

**Zonx** · #25 12-14-2006, 07:44 AM

_basic_eq2ui_mainhud_knowledge.xml (in your Fetish directory) is a copy of the original knowledge book reskined for Fetish. Just replace eq2ui_mainhud_knowlwdge.xml with that one.

Or delete eq2ui_mainhud_knowledge.xml from your Fetish directory and the default book will load.

Or you can install any of the single window knowledge book mods available in the downloads section of this site.
