Milquetowst Info Center

[Poodleguy32]

I really suck with computers and all and im probably the biggest EQ noob of all so this would be great for me but I dont really understand the instalation....Will somone lay it out for me, talk like your speaking to a 5 year old

[Othesus]

Did you already read the FAQ about installing here?

Let us know what step you're on.

[bitemenot]

Is there any way for you to add or to take from the fetish ui the ablity to open this from a "?" in the top right corner of the jounal?

[dreadcougar]

Im sure this has been asked before , but I'll be "that guy" and ask again haha. I downloaded the most recent version of info center and the window pops up fine in game... all categories are there but there is nothing written in any of em. It seems like maybe i dont have the files with data to fill the window in right place, any ideas... Thanks

[Poodleguy32]

Again, this is the big noob...I dont even know how to "unzip" the files! all I did was save the thing in a folder and now im stuck heeelp!

[Krylosis]

right click and you should see the windows zip feature allowing you to unzip it, or you need to add something like pkzip, winrar or some other compression technique prgram. then right click an select unzip. good luck!

[Poodleguy32]

For some reason I cant figure this out! I dunno what those window zip programs are or how to get them but I right clicked the flies and it didnt have an unzip option. post if u have any more info on this for a noob!

[anfrey]

if you're not using XP, you won't get the built-in zip/unzip... i don't think w2k nor win9x came with it...

i would suggest picking up a shareware copy of WinRAR from www.rarlab.com since it is an excellent compression/decompression tool. here's a quick step-by-step for you..

1. download and install winrar from www.rarlab.com

2. make sure the milquetowst info center.zip file is in your custom UI directory or folder

3. right click on milquetowst info center.zip, select the WinRAR submenu, and choose Extract Here.




hope this helps

More updates!

I updated the "Game Update" notes to GU28, even though it really didn't seem (to me, anyway) that GU28 contained anything especially noteworthy, except perhaps for the auto-AFK option. :P

I restored the "Things I Wish I'd Known Earlier" files, since they've all been updated by "Lodrelhai." They can now be found as a submenu under the "Misc" tab, though, rather than under a unique "TIWIKE" tab.

I also moved the info on heroic opportunities to the "Misc" tab.

Finally, I added some extensive information to a new "Alchemy" tab. Most of the general info came from the eq2.eqtraders.com Web site, while the detailed lists of potions and poisons and their effects was compiled by my friend and guildmate, "Andreas."

(And for the record, my character "Milquetowst" is actually now gone from Norrath. He was my most expendable character, and so he's been deleted in order to open up a slot for the fae swashbuckler I'm planning to create next month. May he rest in peace!)

Might be a useful list to add Oh, and the name is actually Mystic Moppet, not Moppet Master. It's that collection where you need [a lost soul] x_x

Infocenter isn't working for me since installing Echoes of Faydwer.

I had to load the dafault UI, but is there something else I need to do now to get Infocenter working?

odd... infocenter works fine for me after the update... maybe it's another UI piece that's causing your issue...

[Gojirax]

I'm running the default UI atm. The only real mod I had running was an XP Bar mod (Now default) and EQ2Map.

I copied my default folder to a folder called JackDefault and edited my EQ2.ini to that folder this morning, should that be all I need to do?

[Rrys]

it is level 7 Cobra Circle, you have it listed as Cobra Strike.

Thanks for a great UI/

[SiNiStEr_NaTiOn]

As I'm trying to learn how to build UI, I like the info center, my first expiernce with it is in the Fetish Nightfall.

I'm using the default to learn off from. and have a copy of all the files from the default folder into my custom folder.

I have everything in place in the UI I'm trying to learn to build. But how can I access the info center. I know in Fetish Nightfall I could bring up the recipe window and click on the ? to bring it up.

Once you're in the game, you can call up the info center any time you like by typing "/show_window Journals.InfoCenter" (or by creating a macro to do it for you).

Shown on the download page.
try renaming the fine to something like eq2ui_journals_newcenter.xml
new you can use: /show_window Journals.InewCenter
good luck

[SiNiStEr_NaTiOn]

i could do that but eventually i would forget. I use the map updater, can I set it up by clicking on the question mark that use to be used for heelp to bering up the info center, if so how would i go about doing it. If i have to edit the xml file for it, I can do that but i need to know how to set it up in the xml file and what file would be involved in that process.

I too am having difficulties since EoF, my infocenter now only shows a black screen. I'm running on Landlin's Extreme ui atm, but it was working fine before the update. I've tried downloading the newest infocenter pack, even went in and took everything out and redid, still, just a black screen. I'm lost as to what to do, and landlin advixed me to come here. Please, any advice on where to check?

[Othesus]

I know that it's tough to keep everything up to date, the game is changing so much all the time. I went through and updated the bones/shards colection page with the current information. These were all checked in-game as of 11/18/2006.

I am having the same problem. Using Extreme UI as well. I downloaded infocenter myself like he said and extraced the files to the extreme UI folder. When I try to open the infocenter through the button in the extreme UI or manually by using "/show_window Journals.InfoCenter" I get a black screen. It shows nothing except all black. I've tried everything. I dont know what to do at this point.

EDIT: Landiin said he forgot to take the old info center files out and he will do that tonight so i'm hoping that solves the black screen problem. Alot of ppl posted in the Extreme thread about the black screen so I think the fix is only on his end. I will post an update if it still shows up as a black screen after the Extreme UI update tonight. Take care, love the infocenter!

Im using profitUI. Anyway it inculdes Milquetowst InfoCenter, I had this before LU#29 and I could add to notes and it worked just fine. Reinstalled the Profit reborn UI and tried editing the notes. No luck at all. Its just showing its default notes. To edit notes go to etc etc.... please help!

More updates....

I've added pages for the various new signature quests, but as with most of the pages for the new heritage quests, they're blank at the moment. I'll add actual walk-thrus as soon as eq2.ogaming.com gets complete versions up.

I've added basic info on religion in Norrath, as well as a list of the gods who can currently be worshipped. I've also added an overview of secondary tradeskills (tinkering and transmuting) and adornments. The files are not intended to be exhaustive by any stretch of the imagination, but they should at least help to clear up some of the more common sources of confusion regarding how all the new stuff works.

Finally, I've updated a great many other pages with bits and pieces of EoF-related info. But there's still lots more to be added, so work (and play) continues....

And by the way, Happy Thanksgiving!

[anfrey]

Just a quick update, I had posted a couple days ago about the Infocenter not working as intended and showing up as a black box in Extreme UI. It turned out to be an ExtremeUI only issue as Landiin has fixed whatever was causing the problem and its now back to normal and working better then ever. We all appreciate the updates you do and hope to see more coming as more and more info/guides/strategies regarding new EoF stuff is available.

One more thing...my question is will you ever or have you thought about making some kind of control panel or program where files will update automatically for infocenter or are updates not that frequent to warrant something like that? Was just curious as i'm so used to the infocenter files being pushed through the Extreme AUCP. I assume I should re download the infocenter.zip everytime you make a change or updates, etc. ?
Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!

[SiNiStEr_NaTiOn]

Well i had over came my problem, i downloaded a EQ2 start button that has the Info Center in it, so I can access the Info Center very easy.
