Anyone, what sort of editor do I use to examine/modify a .dds file?

I do not have Photoshop or PSP. I found a utility (irfan) that nicely converts to .bmp which I can edit in paint. Now I just need a way to get it back to .dds. Or one utility that converts both ways.

I found 60 day trial of photoshop pro.

you can use that with photoshop, as i recall you can use it with paint shop pro as well.

I would love to see the Maintained Spells and Spell Effects window be able to do the following:

1. Have the Maintained Spells window fill from left to right and the Spell Effects window fill from right to left (in the event of horizontal layout or multiple columns).

2. Have everything but the Icons be click-through.

3. Have the Spell Name and time remaining tied to the frame and titlebar so that frame = time and frame and titlebar = both.

Any chance that this is doable?

[Zonx]

I think 1 and 3 are doable, though 3 gets funky if you've got lettebox on and auto-hiding frames/titles.

2 might be possible by adding a button to turn absorbsinput off and on. The problem with this request is resizing the window if it doesn't accept cursor input on the window.

I'm a little hesitant to dork with these windows untill SOE gets all the DynamicData working. Kinda expect another big update for them soonish.

Just a reminder, nothing says "I love your mod" like a 5 star rating on the download page

I figure theres around 1k users of Nightfall and only 27 have rated it, so if you haven't already please do

[mackgee]

My main is a necro, and the fetish pet window was the only thing about this surperb UI that I didn't like. So I customized myown to match the target window. The screenie shows the pet window next to the target window. I uploaded it for approval under the add-on section under the main UI download.

Well love the ui but something that anoys me is that if i tries to heal a group member or target its easy to click on the name bar witch again turns attack on and i get the assist of the member i am trying to target. On fast healing fights its hard click the gauge
Hard to explaine

If you need to select the right group member quickly, just use F2-F6.

I've noticed the same thing. If you click the health/power section of their box, it targets them. If you click their name it assists them. I think, once you get used to it, it's a great feature.

Or just use F1-F6 for targetting.

This and the persona bar were the only things I didn't like with this amazing mod. Dadditude's Persona Window fixed one of those, and the other fix was very easy...

what I did was just open up "eq2ui_mainhud_groupmembers.xml" in notepad and take out all the auto-assist buttons. They'll look like this:

"<Button BackgroundOpacity="0.000" Name="Assist" OnPress="/assist group_member_1
autoattack=&apos;1.0&apos;" ScrollExtent="107,15" Size="107,15" Style="/Fetish.ButtonStyles.invisible"></Button>"

There's one for each group member, so 5 of those lines to delete all together. This is the first thing I do w/ each new release now. Now this mod is perfect for me. Hope this helps

Let me start by saying, this UI is awesome. I am having a major problem though and I'm not sure what is causing it. It seems like it should be an SoE bug, but as soon as I return to default setting the problem no longer exists. What happens is, when I zone I receive a Client Error and am subsequently booted from the game. I read through the postings and did not see any similar problems posted. Any ideas. I really hope I can figure this out, because I really love this UI.

[Zonx]

I've seen a couple posts scattered around these boards that suggest some systems crash while zoning using any custom UI, particularly if you're in windowed mode and minimize EQ or have IE open.

This doesn't appear to be an issue specific to Fetish UIs since I've been unable to reproduce it and have gotten only 2 or 3 similar comments. I don't normally play in windowed mode and haven't crashed the client zoning since 3.0 was released.

[Steppin]

for some reason, even when i delete examine window, i am UNABLE to examine items .. i have a lore item for lore and legend that im trying to right click to 'study', and the examine window does not come up.. i've tried deleting it from the mod, and using purely the default, with the same results ..
any ideas ?

thanks

Is it possible to edit add on (simple ribbed etc) fetish_bars.dds into odd shapes that expand beyond the constraints of the current square?

[Ibishi]

i'd delete the entire UI folder and re-patch if you're having a serious issue. the files dont take long to download.

[Zonx]

Chumba, see FetishNightfall.doc "Customizations" for code changes to set personabar to always use size1.

It also sounds like you've got the dreaded "windows settings wont save" SOE bug. A file was posted to the Classic thread that appears to fix the problem.

Steppin, not sure what's up with your examine. Right-click menus sometimes lag on me, but this is the first report I've seen of Examine failing entirely. Might be wise to trash your Fetish directory and reinstall the UI.

Kale27, the width of the bars is set in each window file. To make them wider, you'll need to tweak the possition and width for each of the bars and their backgrounds. The images can be edited to any design you want with Phtoshop and the DDS plugin. Also note, the Player and both Target windows do stretch if you just want them wider.

[Shohanna]

I posted on the main board with no help. Was thinking maybe I post here, I might find a clue to my issue.

I have downloaded the 2 standalone clocks, and even downloaded the fetish and extracted the clock data.
Placed in the correct directories respectively, /ui/dream and /ui/dream/images.

I placed my eq2.ini in the correct directory, and everything loads fine. Except the clock.

I have tried different clocks, (deleting the old) and replacing with new.

I have taken it out, reloaded, and placed it back with no success.

Would someone tell me what I have done wrong that the cloak refuses to show up more then a black box?

Thanks

Sho

I've been trying to get this mod to work on my system, after it being highly recommended by one of my guildmates. I'll go through each step with what I did:

1. If you have a prior Fetish UI, re-title that directory or delete it.

This being my first downloaded mod for EQ2, I had no previous Fetish directory, so there should be no problem here.

2. Create a new directory titled Fetish under your Everquest II\UI directory. By default...
c:\program files\sony\everquest II\ui\Fetish

Did this, made a copy of the existing 'Default' folder with everything in it, renamed it 'Fetish'.

3. Open Notepad and copy/paste the following 2 lines of code
cl_ui_subdir UI/
cl_ui_skinname Fetish

Copied and pasted the lines of code to notepad, there were no extraneous spaces at the beginning or end of the lines of code in the document. File was saved as 'eq2.ini' and shows up as a normal .ini file in the EQ2 directory.

4. Save AS eq2.ini to
c:\program files\sony\everquest II\

Done as stated above.

5. Install EQ2MAP to the new Fetish directory

6. Install and run the EQ2MAP auto-updater

Havent downloaded EQ2Map yet, wanted to see how this UI was on my system first before I added anything else to it.

7. Unzip the contents of this archive into the Fetish directory, replacing all files when prompted.

Did this, and yes I extracted it from the .zip file, not copy/pasting. All files should be in their correct subdirectories. When prompted to overwrite the existing files in the Fetish directory, I selected 'Yes to All'.

When I run EQ2, the mod splash screen shows up, and the new border line tints/motifs show up. I get to the character select screen with no problems. I choose my character, click 'Enter' and it starts to load up. I can see all of the default windows that are usually up (chat box, with chat text in it, can even see when people are speaking, name box, exp bar, compass, Earth/Norrath clocks, etc.) I see the shrunk loading art, and the rest of the screen is black. When it finishes loading, the screen stays black (with the listed windows still viewable.) and then the screen goes completely black, and I get an error saying EQ2 has encountered a problem and has to shut down, and it prompts me to either send an error report to MS or just close it.

Any help would be appriciated.

Zonx the ui is killer. I have yet to find anything about it I don't like. So I have to ask, how soon will we see a patch for the new guild tool so I can switch back?

As an offy in my guild I had to go back to default today and I'm not happy about it.

Aren't you being just a bit, oh I dunno, demanding? The patch has JUST barely been out for a whole day. Less then that if you count earlier today when servers went down again for the quick fix. Have a little patience and give Zonx some respect. He is changing more than just the guild window file with 3.6. The chat window comes directly to mind. I know for a fact that Zonx is working hard on updating BOTH Classic and FNF.

Chill.

Edit: Heh, he beat me too it. See what I mean about being good with his updates? Its not as if he waited weeks or even days. He came out with an update barely over 24 hours from patch 8 going live.

Long live Zonx!

Maybe it's my medication not working, but I thought Zonx is a woman? the icon by his/her name certainly looks like a girl troll... *shrugs* well....just a odd question....

THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE ZONX!! YOU ROCK!!!!

Maybe he is. maybe he isn't. I certainly don't know of many women with the name of ... er, well not gonna say, that's his/her call. Even though he leaves it all over his work ^_^

New Compass addon uploaded. Should be available for download soon.

Here's a pic.

Hi im having a slight problem with my chat running into my scroll bar. I was wondering could that be with your UI or could that be with the new patch?I can see chat fine if i dont mouse over it,but when i mouse over it and im getting chat messages the words run underneath the right scroll bar in chat.

[The Griffon]

That is normal for the stealth chat mode in the UI. Reference post 322 that explains it.

The FetishNightfall.doc that came in the UI's zip file says to delete

eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml

and rename

_simple_eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml
to
eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml

in order to replace it and revert back to the simple chat window that was used in version 3.4 and before so that you will not have any stealth scroll bar or input area.
