[DrumsUI] Updater

[none33pl]

Actually there is one bug in spell timer, that exist for some time now. I think more than 7 months.

If you have skill, like Brawler's Tenacity (brawler end line in AA firs tree), it has 2-3 triggers of death safe. So in normal buffs window it shows correctly, counting down timer and amount of triggers. But in spell timer window, it always show it has 0 triggers left :/

You can see it on my screenshot - http://postimg.org/image/5k8fxgrpr/

IIRC it affects more buffs with triggers.

That's pretty strange, hadn't heard of that problem before. Will have to look into "why". It uses the same data from the Maintained Window, so something is going on.

I'm going to be away for a near week, so I won't be able to get to it right away.

I've lost one of my parents over the weekend.

Make absolute sure you have the latest version. My first round of updates had problems with swapping characters. Thanks.

As of today, I'm still having this issue, and I have the most updated files from the Updater.

Same, casting bars and Self->Target->Implied target exhibits this behaviour

Just wanting to confirm it, no stress on it Drums, and my condolences as well

[baker518]

Would it be possible to include the distance to group members in the group window? As you know there is lots of distance proc items in the game now, so I thought that might be worth looking into.

Thanks

Is there any plan to have a variant of the bags to make them square

[Camigwen]

The bags are resizable. Is there something else you mean specifically??

Is this new dynamic data, or something they added in recently? I'll look into it. otherwise, it wouldn't be possble. If it's specifically only for the person you are targetting, that could be possible though.

Yes I would like to add this back to the inventory window. However, when I do it, it will have a Confirmation button due to people sorting "by accident"

[Camigwen]

well i dont see how you can sort your inventory by accident. But what do i know. lol Confirming an inventory sort is fine by me.

Hi, I have been using drums for over a year and love it. I was gone for few months and came back and have tried to use icon on desktop to update my UI since the last expac. I get this error "Unable to access jarfile Updater.jar.

I was going to do the update here but I am not sure how to do so and install. Could you please help me? I love this UI. I was using Profit before and this is so much better.


Thank you.

Ok I stepped up and did the updater from site and now it seems to be working. If I have issues when I log in will come back and ask for help. Odd when I first tried to use the new updater file it was asking where to install and I wasn't sure this time it had the path there.

I was wondering if it would be possible to update the hotkeys for pot cures. There are new tiers since the robust ones.

Thanks,

Ask DBG to update the slash command for cures. Otherwise, we have to manually set the command :/

You can edit your click-to-cures using this guide however in the meantime:

I am attempting to get the Drums Spell Timer working. My base UI is Profit, with some odds-and-ends miscellaneous pieces. I am seeing a spell timer window with one spell, Toxic Aura (on my warlock), visible. I have no settings or any way to customize this window.

What am I doing wrong?

Here's what I have:

C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II\eq2.ini

# Set my custom UI
cl_ui_subdir UI/
cl_ui_skinname ProfitUI

C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II\UI\ProfitUI\eq2ui_custom.xml

• DrumsUI_custom\SpellTimer\DrumsUI_ST.xml
• DrumsUI_custom\SpellTimer\DrumsUI_ST_Settings.xml

I created a /show_window macro, and have tried various targets, none of which open anything so far as I can see:

• /show_window DrumsUI_custom.DrumsUI_STI.xml
• /show_window DrumsUI_custom.SpellTimer.DrumsUI_ST
• /show_window DrumsUI_custom.SpellTimer.DrumsUI_ST_Settings
• /show_window DrumsUI_custom.DrumsUI_MenuWindow
• /show_window DrumsUI_custom.Settings.DrumsUI_MainSettings

What I want to be able to do is to track not just these increments, but I want to watch for Time Warp and other beneficial spells during which I'll want to cast my big booms. I'm sure more experienced 'locks will have other suggestions for what I want in the Spell Timer.

when attempting to install, it gives an error when trying to install java.... what version is needed? because I have no problems manually downloading anything, but for some reason installed programs have had complications when downloading java.

[thisisnotneeded]

Aaand the guild window is broken. Needs fixing.

There was an updated guild window provided during Beta, and I'm sure it is working.

Java runtime 7 block on using the installer is unending. I have Java 8 installed but it still tries to install the older version before updating and i'm at my wit's end trying to make it work. The install app just quits when the dead link it has doesnt respond.

[AZDixx]

As far as I can tell, the Updater for DrumsUI is now dead.
I took care of the Java compatibility issue, but now every time I try to run the updater I get blocked by a proxy server error and nothing updates.

I presume at this time the only thing viable is to get the manual install version along with the updates to the UI from Blackhood?

Update Log:
v1.8 - 2010.03.30
- New: You can now hide the quick cast buttons for the Group/Raid window via the settings window
- New: Group member's F2-F6 text now serves as a /follow button for each member
- Update: Raid window overhauled to be smaller in overall size. This change was based off the decrease in size to the default UI raid window. Quick buttons decreased in size by only 2 pixels. HP bars should be slightly thicker now as well.
- Update: Raid window's overall "background" was transformed into 4 backgrounds for each raid group. The window settings opacity still controls this change. It mainly was aimed at removing the extra "black space" around the window.
- Update: Group member's quick cast buttons trimmed down a bit, making more space to click on group members with the mouse
- Fix: Broker window's "Take Coin" button and Sell tab's header sort buttons are now fully clickable
- Fix: The curse icon on "yourself" in the group window is now displaying the proper graphic
- Fix: Clicking the "Enter" key while hovering the group window should no longer trigger one of the quick cast buttons
- Fix: Maintained window icon's "spell amount" slightly increased in width to accomodate larger numbers (wards, etc)
- Fix: Stat bar had several elements widths fixed as noted by several users' feedback

Hi,

I'm trying out your UI and wanted to give some feedback to help the process work more smoothly in the future.

First the certificate at pala.de is expired so when you click on the jnlp you get a couple of warnings. With the recent serious exploit in jnlp it might make some users feel better if this was fixed. I realize it's not under your direct control, but wanted to let you know as it affects the user experience.

On Win7 x64 EQ2 installs, by default, to "C:\ProgramData\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II" which is a hidden directory structure that Java file i/o can't navigate. The user must open Windows Explorer and search for EverQuest2.exe in order to find the path (or alternatively show hidden folders, do the search, and then manually navigate in the Java folder chooser window).

Anyway, thanks for the work.

[Drumstix42]

Thanks for the feedback Fyrion. I have no control of the certificate being expired or not, as you stated.

Kaldran has said in another thread that it's valid, but just expired. He stated there were no free ways of gettin an up-to-date one, but I'll ask him about it.
I know it's a bit strange to get the warning: but rest assured it is legit.

As far as the detection of folders, it's going to be hard for any program to find the correct folders when the user has folders hidden, or just their EQ2 installation in a hidden folder.
But I'll ask about it

[gm9]

The updater tries to grab the eq2 path from the registry, if it's not there then you will need to manually navigate, but on any OS.

[Fyrion]

Thanks for the info both of you. The new installer for the game client is different than it was about a year ago. It seems like and odd place to install the game.
