eXtremeUI v2 - Page 17

Thakar · #1 08-02-2006, 02:33 PM

For some reason, every time I log on I get an extra chat window on my screen (not connected to the other tabs) called "Tab 1." It's proving difficult to get rid of it, since there's no option to close it and it's hard (if not impossible) to add it to the rest of my tabs to close it that way...any ideas?

your char.ini file has gone bad. You need to go into settings and resave it. I would also /bug it as its been a bug in the UI system from day one.

First off I would like to say that this UI is awesome. I have been using custom UI's since I was introduced to EQ1 4 years ago and this one is the best I have ever used. I just installed this yesterday but seem to be having a problem with my group window. The health and mana bars are working but the pertentages for both on all group members just shows 0%. Is there something I have done wrong?

I have been using the ExtremeUI for quite some time and LOVE IT! Now to my issue. I have been away from EQ2 for a couple of months or so and noticed a problem with my Inv. window when I logged back in. Had to update the UI. No problem. Went to the control panel and selected update and was taken to the eq2interface page with the new updated download. No problem. Ran the download from the site, chose my eq2 directory and finished the install. This is where it got wrong. It began to update my EQ configuration (I play EQ as well). Then launched EQ, which began to have to rebuild because of the files that were changed by the install. I uninstalled Extreme and tried again with the same result. I made sure I had the right path to EQ2 folder selected. Once again I uninstalled as well as uninstalling the original ExtremeUI installation I had loaded already. Ran the install again after saving the download to my desktop, which is where I ran it from this time. Same result. It is tapping into my EQ, not EQ2. Now as far as my file setup it is this: I have my Sony Folder in Program Files. Inside the Sony Folder are my EQ files, not in an EQ Folder but loose in Sony Folder. Also inside the Sony Folder is my EQ2 Folder. hope I made this clear. Is there some reason for this install issue that has to do with the setup of the Sony Folder? If you need clarification on anything please tell me. I really need to figure this out as this is the best UI I have used to date. Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok so I just have 2 issues to mention here. First I like the quiklog but when I set it up I noticed that on one of my toons I had hit a wrong letter and so I had to go back to the aucp and change it..... this is where my issue comes, when I opened my aucp and went to the quiklog to change the one toons name, None of them were there and I hade to redo them all. Is there no saveing this setting so I dont have to change it every time I make a new toon or something ?

Second I am still only seeing half of the add button when I add a new collection to my collections. I can still work with just half the add button, but is there a fix to this ?

Yes I did install the latest updates and even updated before writing this message.

Make sure aucp_QuickCharSwitch.xml is in your exclude list or it will get updated ever time you run the AUCP.

for the add button I'm almost 100% that is fixed I'll look at it again here in a bit. Make sure that isn't on your exclude list and isnt' getting updated.

And if you use the notes feature, make sure to exclude aucp_Notes.xml. Took me 3 days to figure this out. LOL.

It shouldn't matter where your EQ2 is installed. Once you tell it where eq2 is it looks for the UI folder and then installs every thing in \UI\eXtreme\. If it don't find the UI folder it's not going to install. If it finds 2 UI folders its not going to install.

I don't see how it could be even messing with eq1 even if it did somehow install it there it would put all the files in a directory called eXtreme and that wouldn't make your eq have to rebuild. Forther more it can't even run eq as it is programed to run everquest2.exe or eq2.exe not everquest.exe or eq.exe. So it is impossible for it to run eq unless you renamed the file names.

EDIT:
Well it could run EQ if you added it to one of the two run additional apps to run.

That is weird. I haven't renamed any files at all but the eq1 patcher started running after the install. I realize it should no be possible but it is exactly what happened. all the Extreme stuff was installed into the EQ2 folder though. I am sure that is what happened because I now have to wait for eq1 to rebuild next time I want to log in. But as far as resolving the issue, I did this: I took all the files in my sony folder and put them in a folder marked eq. then downloaded and set the path to the eqII folder and it was successful. burying those files in a folder is the only change I made but it worked fine. Thanks for the help.

With out uninstalling eXtreme:

while in game type /loadui
To load the game with the default UI: delete the file eq2.ini in the main eq2 directory

Or

Start->Programe Files->eXtreme->Uninstall eXtreme

Landlin, wanted to thank you for your efforts, love the UI...
noticed again a unable to use inventory with the latest update, tried your earlier suggestion of changing version to 2.0.0 in the inventory file, but it didnt work, probably because that was older fix, is there a quick fix until update?
thanks

I just got done playing and my inventory worked fine. I patched just to make sure I didn't change any thing locally and no files where updated, so the most current inventory should be on the update server.

Run the AUCP and it should update the UI if you have any outdated files. Also make sure you don't have eq2ui_inventory_inventory.xml in the exclude list.

forestal · #15 08-12-2006, 07:57 AM

sorry for the dumb question, but how do i get the update, on the aucp, when i hit the update extreme, it loads up internet explorer at your download page, all it seems to update isthe eqmap2 ....sorry, not too program savy

also when installed i never got the question what files to exclude ( i don't think it applies since i have no other modified files or other add-ons)

risingmyst · #16 08-18-2006, 09:35 PM

i had only one problem with the UI updater, i got disconnected at 33% so i had to rerun the program... can you please advise about it thanks

Amazing interface though... sorry laffs... i found a better interface then your laffs lite.... Major kudos on that one though

Did you by chance set up you toon to a matching uisettings.ini.

Main Menu->AUPC-Settings, UI->client settings.

Glad you got it going.

I d/l your UI tonight. A lot of features I enjoy so far. I spent about an hour moving things around and putting stuff where I wanted it. Then I wanted to have this set up that I just created affect my other 9 toons (as I have 10). So I went into the settings and went to CharUIsetting Conf thinking that I could pick the toon's uisettings and make my eq2 use that config. I soon found out that's not really what this option is for and it turned what I had made into your default custom ui settings. I did click on the back up file button in this same window. So I guess my question is...is there a file somewhere saved of what I spent an hour doing, if so how can I get it and load that one again. And if so (or if not and I have to do it over again) is there a way to have my other 9 toons load up in my personally made UI interface (just where I have moved stuff) so I don't have to do this individually for all my other toons? Thanks for your time!

Why no 1600x1200?

Because my monitor will not go that high so I can make one.

Just use 1600X1024 every thing will be 99% into place and you'll just have to make small adjustments.
