DeaDBeaT's UI - Page 3

Heya and thanks for the great UI.

Any chance of a fix for the loot problem (no loot options/box).

arakos · #2 03-05-2008, 06:11 PM

Great UI the best one out of them all. Your map is by far the best.

I am having problems and errors when I try to update. Which I never had any problems until this latest patch. I have changed nothing. Unless I have to DL a new version which I never had to before.

Uninstall your current version, redownload and reinstall the newest version.

Sneddle · #4 03-05-2008, 09:31 PM

Selected update on the db patcher, and no difference.

so I took at look at eq2ui_mainhud.xml

<include>eq2ui_mainhud_g15.xml</include> <-- not in there

adding this fixed it.

(nor is clock hideable or the map fog button)
Am I jumping the gun? heh

edit: and I also re-downloaded the patcher to make sure.

DeaDBeaT · #5 03-05-2008, 10:13 PM

I will double check my files and force a full version check tomorrow. Run the patcher about lunchtime.

DeaDBeaT · #6 03-05-2008, 06:24 PM

Fixed:
G15 support
Loot window
Infocenter
(404) Not Found with e2ui_mainhud_map.xml (spellchecker FTW)
Map Fog checkbox
Clock is hide-able again

Everything went fine until it gets to installing InfoCenter/Writs and then I get the following error,

Updater will run a full reinstall to make sure all file versions are the latest. Please post if anyone finds something I missed.

DofD your error is usually related to a file path error try an uninstall/reinstall, if that doesn't fix it then try the registry fix posted previously.

Sneddle · #9 03-06-2008, 02:03 PM

After running the patch, everything looks ok, except the G15 is still missing from the include.

Manually added to eq2_mainhud.xml:

<include>eq2ui_mainhud_g15.xml</include>

Mapfog button is there,
Clock is hideable. (yay!)
Broker window works fine.

No errors on patcher on main system. about to try my 2nd system. (only uses default so it will be a vanilla install)

Mainhud for G15 fixed - thanks

Uninstalled and deleted everything DeaDBeat/Geezer I had. Re-downloaded and reinstalled and it updated without any errors at all.

Thank you!!

djbillyrae · #12 09-10-2008, 09:20 AM

but the one little problem I have at the moment. there is a new feature on the guild page when I press U in game. it is suposed to show guild points. My guild has started using that to post the DKP, and your UI isn't showing it. I have no clue how to fix it myself so I'll leave it to the pro. thanks

Should be fixed now, haven't tested so let me know if you have any issues.

just installed the 14-day trial and found your UI. I will be purchasing the latest all-in-one pack soon as payday rolls around. but in the mean time i'm having probs installing your mod. i run in vista home premium 32bit. i've set it to run as admin and every time it starts it gets to the 3-4 file and i get the following error.

The location of everquest2.exe is used only for pathing.

As long as all the folders are created correctly Vista usually has an issue with the eq2.ini file the updater tries to copy into your Everquest 2 folder. The contents of the file only needs these lines:

cl_movie_enabled 0
cl_show_voice_tutorial 0
cl_ui_skinname DeaDBeaTs
cl_ui_subdir UI/

chaossdragon · #18 11-21-2008, 01:33 PM

still doesn't want to work. when i try to do a full install it seems to work up to the .exe where it errors out. If i click skip/ok whatever, it says its downloading files but it just sits there. i've let it run for 30 - 45 mins and nothing is happening. i've checked for the folders/files and its not creating anything. double checked the install path and its pointed to the main Everquest2 folder.

running the mod in admin mode as well as compatability mode winxp SP2.

Nevermind on the help for fix. I opted to use a differant UI compilation. As much as I would have liked to use yours it is turning into to much of a headache to attempt to install.

pithlit2006 · #19 11-23-2008, 04:44 PM

Hi. Love the mod. Problem I'm having is that I cant move/drag the hotbars around on my screen. When I hold down the left mouse button it just goes into mouselook. I have this turned off in options. I know this is minor and probably a noob fix for me. Can you help?

Turn on the spinner then use the spinner as a drag handle.

Yacking · #21 01-02-2009, 04:05 PM

I cant get this ui to work, i did the full install, but when i log into game no ui, and no option to load it under /loadui. When i do the updater, it closes when it is done, and if i open it again i get no option to hit the "play" button. Can anyone help out?

Sounds like you installed it to the wrong location.

Find the file eq2ui.xml. Is that file in Sony/EverQuest II/UI/<somefolder>/?

If not, you've installed to the wrong folder.

contramundi · #23 03-04-2009, 08:37 AM

(i've also posted this on the UI info page before coming here, so hit me for spamming :P)

the problem i'm encountering is basically that the installer wants to make a folder according to either EverQuest2.exe or EQ2.exe, and doesn't put the downloaded files into the UI folder.

due to having either an "EQ2.exe" or "EverQuest2.exe" already available for the game itself as an executable, the updater can't make the "folder/file" and gives you the error.

At least this is what i'm logically seeing whilst using the updater.

the steps i've taken to get past this issue:

1) I've renamed the exe to .bak and let the updater download everything.

2) i've selected everything from the folder created by the updater and cut and pasted it to the folder above combining it with the existing folders.

3) deleted the folder with the .exe in the name

4) renamed the EQ2/EverQuest2.exe.bak back to being an executable

5) ran the game and it was using deadbeats UI

however, the issue lies within the updater, and has to be resolved if the UI has to be kept on auto-update

i still had 1 question though, i've managed to install the UI finally, but do i need to use a certain code or something to get it the way its in the screenshot, since the default placement of the windows is just one big mess compared to the nice and tidy screenshot provided on the UI info page. (eq2 ui noob here :P)

edit: after thinking about it most of the time since posting the above, my thoughts kind of came to the conclusion that the updater isn't working as it should, since under xp it points to for example:

"C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\EQ2.exe"

and under vista (yes i have 2 computers running different OS)

"C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II"

Under XP i cant seem to make the install path to look the same as under vista, the updater simply pastes the .exe at the end of it. Which ultimately results in the program wishing to download the files to "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\EQ2.exe\..." (or whatever .exe is defined in the install path.

the strangeness however is that you would expect such idiot behaviour from vista and not xp

DeaDBeaT · #24 03-04-2009, 12:55 PM

The installer/updater works fine for more than 9000 people

, the initial download from here, is to set it up. It needs to point at your current Everquest II install, if thats not what's showing in the path, fix it by clicking on the 'Browse' button.

It then creates a new folder in your Everquest II folder called 'DBsMod' and installs the updater there. When you then run the updater it will create a new folder under Everquest II\UI called 'DeaDBeaTs, download the entire mod to the DBsMod folder and copy it to the new DeaDBeaTs folder.

It thens confirms the location of everquest.exe to copy the file 'eq2.ini' into the same folder.

I'll admit very kludgy but it works and has been working for close to 5 years now.

contramundi · #25 03-04-2009, 03:13 PM

Yeah, i know it works, i mean, it works for me under windows vista

.

but no matter what i do, for some reason, the installer puts EverQuest2.exe at the end of the install path, wich ultimately results in the error that the exe already exists (as seen in some of the previous posts i've read).

so my everquest install path is:

H:\Station Games\EverQuest II\

but the installer makes it into

H:\Station Games\EverQuest II\EverQuest2.exe

And for some reason this results in the updater wanting to download the stuff into

H:\Station Games\EverQuest II\EverQuest2.exe\....

If i rename the EverQuest2.exe to for example EQ2.bak or some other extension. the updater creates a folder called EverQuest2.exe. And under XP i really can't find a way to point it to the folder itself.

I've posted (and i admit its a bit of a clumsy one) a little work-around for the people having this problem, and it does the trick. the only thing you need to do is rename the exe everytime before doing a download.

I love the UI though

, but is there a way to get everything placed as in the screenshot without having to manually move the windows?

anyways thanks and keep up the good work
