Any thoughts?

I had the same problem, although i like the UI i seem to be kicked back to the character select screen everytime i zone then i cant get back into the game without restarting eq2. so i tried the uninstall and tried to play and it crashed so i reinstalled and now i am stuck with having to restart eq2 and its drivin me insane!

I'm just not understanding how uninstalling eXtreme will cause your game to crash. It doesn't touch any game file, even if it did, it would get patched when you ran the game normally. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying your imagining this but I just can't grasp how it could cause it.

I've installed and installed what has to be 100 time trying to recreate the issue you guys are talking about but it never happens.

Killerisme, Do you crash while zoning if you play via the AUCP, the launchpad or both?

I've found that if I play the game by bypassing the launchpad either directory or via AUCP I'll get booted to char select more ofter then if I use the launchpad, either directly or via the AUCP. I'm guessing it is due to not having a cookie of you login/password from the launchpad. But that's just me guessing.

Both, doesnt happen everytime i zone but after i start playing and zone a couple of times i get kicked back to the char select screen and for some reason it wont let me zone back in until i launch eq2 again. This UI is superb if only i could figure this out thanks LAND

I haven't read back much but am curious. Will extreme be EoF ready at release? I been in beta for a while and no Extreme makes baby jesus cry.

I love your UI and everything you did with it and really don't like the idea of not playing eq2 till it's updated as I hate, hate, hate the default ui.

How much system ram are you playing with? As much as I hate to admit it eXtreme uses more memory they most other UI's because of the "dashboard" graphics. I've noticed this if I take out a stick of memory and play with 1G or less. Hopefully with EoF release it will relieve some of these issues as I have pretty much rebuild eXtreme from the ground up.

Here are the updated files 11/08/2006 for EoF Beta and Test server.

Fixed some missing/black graphics,
Now group members will display an archtype icon so you can tell who does what easier;

Just a heads up, at around 0750 CST (-6 GMT) the AUCP will start pulling LU29/EoF files. It is STRONGLY recommended that you go and delete all foreign files. Unless you know 100% sure foreign files work with LU29/EoF you need to removed them.

IS there a way to make the tracking window not close on "ESC"? I tend to close windows at random with esc, and keep loosing my tracking window that way. If there is a line I need to add please let me know.. I have no problem doing the mod, just don't understand the XML enough to figure it out on my own.

I think the only way to do this is in options but it would apply to all windows and not just the tracking window.

There may be some property one can set in the XML file to stop it but I can't think of one. I'll do some digging and see.

I downloaded this UI and I am experincing only one problem. When I bring up the map it is barely visible and has absolutlely nothing on it other then the basic shape of the zone Im in. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. This UI is awesome, but I miss my EQ2 Map !

Thank you in adavanced !

Target's health bar is 1/2 size when not targetting another. Then if Target is targetting another Main target goes to 1/4 size and target's target goes 1/2 size as it should on right side.

And

How can I get Black background back on Chat boxes?

And

(heh another edit)
Were the Bag sizes made for the seeing impared? Can they be reduced to where they were?

Whoops, Another Edit...
Forgot to Thank You for keeping it alive

Awsome mod!! and thanks for the fast update. However, I am having a hard time reading text on those grey backgrounds. Is there anyway to restore them to the orginal background color (Beep Blue / Black)??

[Landiin]

You can go to the download section and there is a addon part in the extreme download that has alt backgrounds to use.

Oh, I'v prob included the map from eq2map, just delete the eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml file

I'll add in somthing for a tented background for chat.

I used a dark background from an optional download on this page. Fixed that problem. Just tell the UI control panel to Not overwrite the background.dds in the image folder once you replace it.

I've ran into the target/implied issue you are having a couple of times. Not real sure how/why that is happening as the target has a fixed min and max size and its going way below the fixed min size when it does that. The only thing I've found to fix it is to delete my ui settings file:/ Try deleting eq2ui_mainhud_target.xml and eq2ui_mainhudimplied.xml and run the game. Forcing the game to use default and reset it's size etc. Then run the AUCP to get the target and implied back. Maybe that will work with out deleting the ui settings files.

I'll be updating in a min or two and your black background in the chat window will be added. IF it's not there, open up the chat windows settings and set the background opacity to the desired lvl.

As for the bag, ATM changing the size of the icons size causes the bag not to size properly. There are some authors that do this in there UI but having the window size incorrectly and cutting off some of the slots just isn't acceptable to me.

It appears that I have some windows using the default UI, and some still using Extreme. I didn't change any UI settings, and I ran the update before playing (and deleted all foreign files), but windows like the bags, the hotbars, and the target window is back to default. Any thoughts on how to fix this and get everything back to using Extreme?

-Thanks

Make sure them files are not listed in the exclude files list. If they are remove them from the list as the AUCP will not update files listed there.

Any chance of a resizeable bag setting? - the standard ones are enormous, especially for characters toting around 150 slots plus of bags and quiver. My old standby eq2ui_inventory_bag.xml which had tiny slots is no longer compatible.

Edit - saw post above re losing slots - I simply can't satisfactorally fit all my bags in on this resolution. (if i want to see where i am going lol)

I'm a dummy on some things, so I have no idea where them files could be. much less how to fix em. Also, on the action bar, I no longer get the name of the combat/spell I am using?

"lost my UI for dummies"
P.S. My milquetoast infocenter window went black too.

/agree with bags issue
/agree with chat background issue
/thank Landin for working on them.

There is an additional issue I have had that I have not seen posted. It is the pet window. As instructed with the AUCP splash box, I removed all "foreign files" when I first ran it and received the update for GU29. The pet window has chaged in a major way since doing this however, I think it is back to the default (not sure what default looks like to be honest, so not too sure on that... I live in extreme). It no longer has the trapezoidal shape, and the nice thick health bar that my normal targeting window does still have. Instead, it is now a rectangular box, with the health and power above one another and are very thin lines. Is there a file I could be missing, and if so, where can I get it, or can you double check that the AUCP is checking this file as well? I do not presume to believe that I did not delete something that may not have been in my UI's best interests, and I suspect that other summoners would have mentioned this already if it was across the board.

Thanks once again for all your hard work on this UI, and /cheers for having the update ready to go live before SoE even had the servers up.

Yes for now the pet window is the default one I didn't get time to finesh this window. ( yes playing in beta got in the way lol) I'll be working on that also.

[Landiin]

As for the InfoCenter, go to it's download page and get it. unzip it into eXtreme's directory and it'll by pressing the info button.

I'm no longer including it in the updater as it's hard enuff to keep mine going and files there much less a 3rd party's mod.

[Ratan_Kabidge]

Thanks for your response, at least I can feel a little better that it wasn't me screwing things up, lol. The default is working fine, it just isn't as nice as yours. Looking forward to it's completion
