ThorUI [Interface Discussion Thread]

[smylie]

So nice to jump in an have a nicely patched UI all ready to go with me=)

A couple things I have noticed, I am assuming it isn't just me (I HOPE) but my knowledge book is no longer that awesome looking book, but a black box that I have to mouse over a bit searching for a spot to turn the pages. Also, while I am sure this is simply trivial, I leapt in to try out the guild bank, but it is nothing but a completely blank black square *cries*; can't help it, I am so excited to see that feature.

If I were to try to check it out with the game's original interface until ThorUI incorperated this new feature, which exactly would I revert back to original?? The whole bank? I certainly may just wait til you have things done up, cause it always works better that way, but gotta ask.

Of course, I am excitedly awaiting the return of the vertical group window when you get things all squared away!!

Thanks again for all this effort you put in, cause it makes my gaming soooo much better!!

Thank you for your kind feedback.
All the major issues were addressed with the patcher I released. (I still need to patch all the optional groupmember windows and so forth, but for the most part they are all done)
The issue you are having sounds like a (delete the ThorUI folder, reinstall, apply ThorUI DoF Patch and try it again)
FYI, my mod doesn't modify the guild bank window in any way so that's my first clue.
Hope all works after the delete/reinstall!
Lets us know how it turns out.

[Faelen]

Faetyl, once again I must congratulate you for an excellent UI that works great with LU 13 and DoF. Great work!

Where before we had color coded level selection options (white, yellow, orange, red, etc) there is now simply a text box for Min level and Max level.

All of the current searches are ignoring these level settings and come back with everything fo the selected type, regardless of the level range.

I have applied the hotfix and this seems to have no effect.

Is this a problem with the UI or with DoF itself?

This is a change from DoF.
The search feature should work correctly though... (At least it did for me while Unrest was up.)
Can anyone else confirm this?

Have you attempted deleting the eq2ui_inventory_market.xml from the ThorUI and logging in to try again?
I hate to say it again but all I did with this window was take Sony's DoF updated window and allow it to be resized. (I haven't had time for any large enhancements lately with the Auto Updater in Beta)

I had switched back to the default UI and confirmed it had the same behavior. Just deleted my original post and then realized you had already replied.

In further testing, the level sorting does work for armor and such (not quite sure what I was doing wrong). Food, however, is a different matter altogether. Perhaps because all food can now be used at all levels? Either way, that's a matter for SOE. Thanks!

[JinxterStarrose]

with searching for items such as advanced scrolls for sages I can not find and compair prices for them at all in my house. Not sure its anythintg that has to do with your ui but would be nice to help and figure out how to fix it. Other then that this UI is by far the best ui I ahve ever seen! It is very well done in comparison to any eq1 or eq2 ui's out there. Dont think I will ever stear away from this one.

[Kixyour]

Im using your EXP bar "with smoother fonts" Ive talked to you in the past about it... Now my main problem is that after getting Expansion and LU13 I see The actual exp bars and the colors for them but all text, numbers, percents, decimals are not being shown. Anyhow If and when you get a Fix and< I know the great coder you are you will> I will Greatly appreciate it as I hope others that enjoy your work will. If this helps, Where the numbers go <anywhere in the whole box> there is a tiny black box showing instead. OH and If I can still sign up for the auto-updater I would like to help out!

Kix

[Lotozek]

Aye same problem here, the percents for exp bars and the others are gone, in the upper left my name is not shown anymore, and my health/power does not have the numbers listed below it, only a black space.

Not sure if the UI issues right now are because of DoF... ?

[Grrak]

Hihi Thor

I am using your tripple exp bar "ThorUI Experience Window [Smooth Font Compatible]" posted elsewhere on this site. After the DoF release all text and numbers are gone, only the graphix are there. The tooltip is working so I can get some info though. Any ideas what to do, I guess I am missing a file or entry somewhere, maybe something most people have got from other mods, but I dont have....

Keep up the good work
Looking forward to a fast sollution

Regards Grrak


Missed the two posts above me

[Faetyl]

Download my patch
If you only want the new EXP bar updates, simply uncheck everything except the "EXP Full" option.

[Englan]

Nice work! My principal concern with the upgrade was how it will influence the functionality of your beloved Mod. Keep up the great contributions!

/salute

[Furiant]

I can confirm the issue with no level range filters. Here is a screenie of my store window.



Also, I get a big black box for a guild bank, as well as not having any page navigation buttons in my skill book, (I can mouse around the top and find tooltips for "First" and "last" page but not the next/prev, and cannot see any of them.)

Otherwise, love your mods. I consider EQ2 to be unplayable without them - as in, if I didn't have your mod I would cancel my account. Nice work.

[Kixyour]

Many Thanks agian Faetyl!! You rock! Keep up the excellent work!!!

Stuck at work currently and can't get to this right now
Until I'm able to look into this further, could you navigate to the ThorUI directory and delete the inventory.market.xml?
As for the guild bank, not sure what to do about that one till i get home and can look at it further. (I don't modify that window at all so not sure what's going on there.)
Oh while i'm thinking of it, perhaps you both have an earlier version than what's current of the ThorUI?
Perhaps you could delete/backup your ThorUI folder and reinstall the latest version then patch with my available patch in the hotfix section?

I'll look into this further ASAP

[Caracas]

Love the UI! Thanks for all the hard work. I installed ThorUI just days before DoF went live and played solo all that time, never grouped. After DoF went live, I grouped and was unable to see any of my group members stats on my screen...no names, hp bars, or power bars. Also, the window that contains the "Looking For Group" (LFG) button got a little larger and the buttons got a little smaller right after DoF went live and then it was gone altogether. I think that is the window that contains my group member's stats? I've installed the ver 1.0 DoF patch as well which fixed everything else. Please help me find my groupies! =)

Keep up the awesome work

Patch "should" have resolved this window.
Can you re-run the ThorUI DoF patcher and confirm that the groupmember option is checked.
If that doesn't work delete the mainhud.groupmembers.xml altogether and try again.

[Arther]

Likin' the look of the Thor UI, just loaded it today. I've been using the OCD-Advanced UI for a couple of months and one of my guildmates told me she'd switched over to yours and she preffered it, so I decided to check it out. So far so good!

I do have a couple of silly questions though, that probably have answers somewhere else... but having reviewed the last weeks worth of posts I've not found them yet.

Anyway, first question... I'm using the 3 tier XP bar... lists adventure XP, tradeskill XP and guild XP. However, I can't seem to find a vitality arrow on the bar anywhere. Any suggestions other than running the hotfix patch?

Second question is related to the first and regards the hotfix. After running the install for the Thorr UI, I ran the hotfix patch. But the hotfix doesn't apply directly to the ThorUI folder. Instead it creates it's own ThorUI DoF Patch folder within the same subdirectory the ThorUI folder is in.

To complicate things just a tiny bit, I run my UI's out of my c:\games\everquest2\ui\eq2map directory. I simply pull your XML's out of a folder I load them to, and then paste them into the eq2map directory. Runs things fine.

The problem is that when I open the ThorUI DoF Patch folder to grab those updated XML's, the folder is empty. No files to copy and paste into my eq2map directory to update the original ThorUI XML's.

I have folder/file view settings set to allow me to see all files... so I know that's not the problem.

So, not bein' a techie, I'm at a loss to explain why the ThorUI DoF Patch folder is empty.

Any suggestions?

Thanks much! You've got a bigger brain than I do!

This one you won't see the arrow for vitality until you get low enough on vitality. I noticed the same thing on mine but after running a couple of harclaves I noticed it there.

My problem hehe, I thought running the hotfix patcher would work but my exp bar still isn't displaying properly. I may figure out a fix in a bit. I have the 3 tier exp as well with the smooth fonts and well its been explained through posts already. Lemme look into it and if I can fix it I'll post something on it ;->

[Faetyl]

Confirmed issues are related to using previous version of the ThorUI.
You MUST be using ThorUI v4.8.6 then apply the ThorUI DoF Patch v1.0 (See attached screenshots as confirmation)

Quick guide on how to do this:
1.) Rename ThorUI to ThorUIold (This can be found in EverQuest II\UI\)
2.) Go here: http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3859 and click on "Download Zip File" (Note: It isn't a zip file; it's an executable. eq2interface changed their layout recently, not my doing.)
3.) Choose "Run"
4.) The file will download then launch... (Note: You may get a security warning, simply choose run again)
5.) ThorUI Installer will launch. Click Next
6.) Browse to your EverQuest II directory by clicking the change button. (Be sure to browse to the EverQuest II directory, NOT THE UI FOLDER). Click Next
7.) Choose the options you would like then Click Next (There's alot but its worth your time trust me) Auto Updater coming soon will include screenshots as examples
8.) Verify then Click Next again
9.) Install process will take just a moment. Once complete Click Finish.

10.) Download the patcher by clicking here: http://thorui.thorsparks.com/ThorUI%...tch%20v1.0.exe
11.) Choose "Run"
12.) The file will download then launch... (Note: You may get a security warning, simply choose run again)
13.) ThorUI DoF Patcher v1.0 will launch. Click Next
14.) Browse to your EverQuest II directory by clicking the change button. (Be sure to browse to the EverQuest II directory, NOT THE UI FOLDER). Click Next
15.) Choose the options that coincide with your previous selection during the installer then Click Next
16.) Verify then Click Next again
17.) Patch process will take just a moment. Once complete Click Finish.

18.) Launch eq2map Auto Updater (It automatically detects you are now using ThorUI and will download all maps there)
19.) Login to EverQuest II and confirm all is ok

Note: The patcher was ONLY designed to be used with the latest ThorUI v4.8.6 If you're using a previous version, please update BEFORE using the patcher.

Regarding EXP Bar and Vitality:
Vitality bar only shows when you get down to low vitality.

Regarding issue with patcher:
Patcher will install/overwrite files within the ThorUI if installed to the EverQuest II directory as instructed. (Basically this is how it works: you brose to your everquest II directory and install. during install it creates ui\thorui and extracts all the updates to that directory. so if you didn't browse to the everquest II directory and just installed to C:\ it would look like so after running the patch "C:\UI\ThorUI"

EQ2Map Directory:
If your using the ThorUI you shouldn't be using the EQ2Map folder.
If you are running EQ2Map AutoUpdater it will automatically detect that you are using ThorUI as your default UI mod and will download all files there.

Basic recommendations would be to perform the steps outlined in the above post by myself. This should resolve ALL issues.
Hope this helps.

Everything will be MUCH easier when we get the ThorUI AutoUpdater released

Hi Lady1
Try deleting and reinstalling v4.8.6 then patch.
Let me know if you still have trouble.

I soo thought I had the latest version, but apparently I did not. GAH I feel a bit like a dope...hehe. I managed to fix everything, but one new little annoyance sprang up: I have now deleted and reinstalled this a few times trying to pick the right features on custom install (because I apparently misspicked and was not pleased and had to keep trying over), but maybe because it's after 3 am I can't seem to get it right. I really would like my inventory window back to how it was, with the view of my character and all the wearable slots surrounding the picture, bags underneath...hopefully I am making sense. Then all the stats could toggle on and off that picture as well. If you could kindly direct me on how to retrieve that, I think I might just fall asleep here at the desk and get to that in a few hours.

Thankx again!!!

[Lycanthor]

It would be REALLY nice to be able to change what UI options you would like to have instead of having to re-install. As of now, if I decide I want to change something, I have to:

1. Copy \ThorUI\EQ2MAP directory to somewhere else
2. Erase \ThorUI directory
3. Reinstall latest ThorUI version
4. Chose options/settings
5. Install ThorUI patch
6. Chose more options/settings
7. Copy EQ2MAP directory back to \ThorUI

This is kind of annoying for changing just one UI setting. I guess it is better than what I was doing before I realized you could back-up the EQ2MAP directory so it doesn't have to re-download all of that data every time.

Also, can't wait to see guild bank fixed, and a "Sort" button on custom Knowledge books!

Thank you for a great UI Thor!

With the DoF release the command </show_window inventory.Bank> no longer works. Your toggle bank does work and is much appreciated. I would use the show_window...command when out adventuring to access food and drink or just check inventory.
Is there a way to make to <toggle bank> when not at the bank with your mod? I would love to get that feature back.
Wonderful mod, has brought new life to game for me.
