Anybody noticing anything strange with health data? Tonight I was at full health and one hit from a blue mob and I was dead. I doubt a blue can hit that hard but maybe it can, just seemed strange to me is all.

Hey,

Wanted to say that I love the interface. Awsome job. I was just hoping you could help me with a small problem. I'm unable to open my inventory. When I press 'I' and when I go to inventory on the EQ menu, nothing comes up.

Please Advise.

Thanks,

Kyle

I just logged in and took a couple screenys at full graphics with and without night vision near a mirror and didn't notice anything.
Does it appear without my UI?
Have you tried resetting to defaults on in game display settings?
If you use either of the first three circle buttons on the starmenu you without first setting up your own settings, you will load mine which may not be compatible with your graphics adapter. I'm grasping at straws now.

Faety, I messed around with the settings and this is what I found out. When I'm in 1st person view I see these messy block in the bottom right corner when I look around. When messing with the options to change settings around to fix this problem. I tried this twice but found that when I adjust the widescreen letter box from min to max and back to original settings that i had this block goes away. Here are my pics of this problem.

Thank you for catching this, it's the guild window.
Had a user with an issue with the guild level label and well to make a long story short, a test version of it got slipped in to the final release of the installer.

Just delete "eq2ui_mainhud_guild.xml" from your ThorUI and this should resolve the issue.

I'll see about squeezing the map toggle back in the start button.

I just revamped the inventory window to an extreemly slimmed down version that can be left minimized while playing to cast buffs and such. (This is straight from Sony's default Inventory window)
Are you using 4.8 or later?
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
If all else fails, go in to the ThorUI folder and delete "eq2ui_inventory_inventory.xml" then log back in and see if you have an inventory again.

Really wish I had a clue on this one.
Here's my screenshots from first person view and no border.

Does it do it with the default sony User Interface?
I'm grasping again, but all I can think of is maybe my windows demand more memory from your graphics card that when you toggle to full screen the graphics card can't display all the graphics correctly. Which after I write it, it just doesn't sound reasonable as one would think that a larger area would be affected or atleast a random area...

I find that in sony's default User Interface, I see my reflection flawlessly. This seems to be a very hard problem to pin point, but thanks for the effort. Mostly it's probably has to do with my card or memory. Thanks for all the help tho.

As for the graphic distortion.
Have you tried setting your in game options back to default?
Also, could you attach a screenshot of the issue.
I'm interested in traking this down.
To my knowledge UI's shouldn't cause a blurriness to occur.

Sorry for the delay, but Im european.
I made 3 sets of screens and my own guess is that the use of the widescreen thing is causing the blurring.

You dont see much difference though, as the quality of the jpeg's arent full scale. You can see the difference best when looking at (screenshot) 21 and (screenshot) 22 and looking at the deputy halfling near the gate.

I run the game at 1024*768.

Vandyn · #**210** 08-12-2005, 07:33 AM

Hey Faetyl,

You got a great interface, one I've been using for awhile. My issue though has been constant since release 4.5 (dunno if this has been fixed yet, although latest version still has the same issue). When I load up the new version, alot of my windows (raid window, logout window) are completely black. Not only that but the my status (not group, just me) doesnt show my name or anything. The EQ button is black around the edges as well. Is this an incompatibilty issue? I've tried this with two different video cards and get the same result. It's because of this that I'm forced to use a version previous to 4.5. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

maruosch · #**211** 08-12-2005, 09:37 AM

Hi!

I love this interface...but: Why cant i see my bio in the character window...?
There´s something missing.

Thanks for your great work!

From main page:
Important note regarding v4.8.2:
The Persona window "Biography info" will be missing as this is a prerelease for LU13. It will/"should" automatically work after LU13. If you can't wait until then, simply rename "eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml" to "old_eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml"
----
Don't feel bad, I rarely read it and I'm the one that updates it hehe

I hate to put you through it, but I would love a screenshot so I can take a look at this one.
The raid window uses the Sony default other than an altered image file for the archetype icons.
The logout window hasn't been modified in my mod "that i'm aware of".
I'm available on MSN Messenger.
Just click on my name and view my profile for that info.

After you take and post the screen shots, would you mind uninstalling then deleting the ThorUI folder and try again?
And once again, sorry to put you through this.
My main goal is to make it work as simplisticly as possible.

Thank you, I do see what your talking about with the blurriness.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the blurriness is happening on the default UI with the black border.

This appears to be a graphic card memory issue as the more "items" you have on your screen with an effect will require more memory from a graphic card.
Also, I'm no graphic card performance expert but I believe the more of a contrast you have on screen the harder your card/monitor has to work as well.

I'd actually love it if this was something I could fix but from the looks of it, it appears to be graphic card or Sony programing related.

Don't hesitate to correct me if you feel I am in the wrong though.

Nope I think you're right. When I started playing the game the widescreen border thing was on by default and I was looking at it like "hm, I expected better quality", since I play at 1024*768 and want to make use of as much screen as possible I removed it and the quality improved.
So yeah, I think its sony related, most likely because I run a 9600xt (ati card) and there seem to be more problems with those cards (more then nvidia cards anyway) especialy with the drivers.

and yeah the contrast and especially gamma cost more memory.

Thanks for looking into it though.

More of a question for the main help thread as you should get more views/replies but while its here...

To the best of my knowledge, No that isn't an option although many people want the same thing.

I would suggest you post in the help forum just in case.
But when you do, add the following line at the end:
"If this isn't currently possible, could anyone that sees this post and would like that addition to the game, please do a quick in game feedback asking for it?"

That may kill to birds with one stone as the saying goes.

Vandyn · #**218** 08-12-2005, 02:41 PM

That did the trick. I deleted the entire ThorUI directory after uninstall and did a fresh reinstall. Works like a charm now. Was probably conflicting with an older file that wasn't getting uninstalled. Thanks for your help.

Hey,

I replied to your earlier post here:

Let me know what you find out.

**Faetyl** · #**221** 08-12-2005, 04:35 PM

Working on a reversed chat tab mod for all you crazy upsidedown people who like hotbars on the bottom.

Kidding about the crazy part not the work part.

Here's a screenshot
Pardon me if the layout still isn't perfect remember it's upsidedown for me

Is it worth including as an option in the packages section of the ThorUI installer?

wooflin · #**222** 08-12-2005, 05:18 PM

Great UI very easy to use and Looks awesome I especially like the new orb for group! .......... I just downloaded the new update for the 4.8.2 and I'm

Is there any possible way to make an individual button for bag toggle and the Inventory button that you have now,as opposed to the toggle that opens your Inventory , Then you have to click on the bag in your inventory to open all your bags.

The reason I really liked the quick bag toggle in the earlier versions you had created , Was that I could pop it open in raiding and do a quick flip of activatable items ,now it seems a little tight and a little disorienting with all the bags lined up at the top of the inventory window.

Keep up the great work I have most of my guildies hooked on your UI now!

Much appreciated

Can everyone be thinking of what other window variation options you may like?

Feel free to post those suggestions here...

THANK YOU!!!!!! That horizontal bar was driving me NUTS!!! (I dont use a letterbox window mode while playing). Finally my other bars are not covered by the default area of the horizontal group window.

Thank you again.

And I dont mind numeric values on myself, but its just too busy for all teh group IMO

I included the "slim-n-trim" no values version of the vertical groupmember window as well.
Let me know if there's an issue with it.

Absolutely,
I changed it to Inventory since I performed the full revamp on the Inventory window. (It's meant to stay open for activatables, rings, ammo, and so forth.)

Any objections if I just change the bag back to opening all bags rather than the inventory?
