ThorUI Beta Mods for GU29

**Faetyl** · #1 10-22-2006, 12:36 AM

Here's some mods to test out for the changes in test.
Note: Although the changes have made test they may change even more before they hit live.

Please reply to this post with any issues with these attachments.

Note: I'm working on a bags revision and will post it as soon as I get a revision that is closer to a finished product than what I have now.

-Edit- 200610-22 12:30PM
-Including Updated Inventory Window:
Latest update broke the show/hide toggle button so I decided to get rid of it entirely.

-Included (a work in progress) Resizable Bag Window:
I'm hoping to get this fine tuned a bit. I've tested it and it does save size and location correctly (IF) you start over on your characters window placment file. Note: I wouldn't mess with this yet unless you have the patience for it as it will be changing... (I've included a "quick/incomplete" window settings file to try it out) If you don't know how to use it, i recommend you don't use it... "Wait till it goes live"

-Edit- 200610-22 1:50PM
-Revised Resizable Bag Window:
This one looks like its complete, but test it and give me your feedback.
It's a 32 on iconsize,with 6 on initial horizontal icon count, and user resizable.
This looks like its the first modded bag that's been posted so I don't have any other author's work to compare to at the moment. Hopefully we will see more soon, I know there's a lot of great talent out there.

-Edit- 200610-25 9:10PM
-Revised Hotkey Window:
This one should be 100% so let me know if you see anything wrong with it.

-Revised Bag Window:
Removed resize option until someone smarter than me figures it out or I grow a few more brain cells and figure it out.
Note: The 30 slot bag is showing an extra lines worth of space for some reason... (Still working on that...)

Edit- 200611-01 6:51PM
-Revised MainChat Window
SOE decided to change some items around so I had to recode this one from scratch. Let me know if you have any issues with it. Note: I'd look for SOE to update theirs again because it needs some work... Mine should be good unless they change something drastic again.

Edit- 200611-03 3:46PM
-Uploaded Persona Window
I forgot to upload this earlier.
Thanks for those of you that let me know.

FYI
Bag Mod doesn't auto resize correctly if the bag is less than 6 slots.
Only way to fix this would be to resize the initial bag size to accomodate the 4 slot bags which I don't plan on doing any time soon.

Just drag the bag out and resize to your preference and it will save correctly.

Hey Faetyl-

Just wanted to say thanks for these kick ass mods you do. You rock... keep up the excellent work!

Damagemann · #4 10-24-2006, 02:46 PM

I downloaded the patches, put them in the betaeq2 directory and thorui directory under it, and still getting a message that the mod is still incompatible. I know it's a user problem (usually is), but can't figure it out.

Hmm
betaeq2directory/UI/thorui/ place files here

I'll double check and make sure my version info is correct on these tonight and reply soon.
I goof up plenty myself so may be me.

burgeswe · #6 10-25-2006, 03:40 PM

I loved the mods!

Sadly, though, the new hotkey stuff was taken out, and now if you use the ThorUI parts you posted, all your hotbars are solid black.

And I really really liked the resizable bags, too.. but that seems to not be working after they reverted the changes as well.

**Faetyl** · #7 10-25-2006, 07:37 PM

ah thanks for the heads up.
I haven't been in for a couple days so i'll be sure to log in and see what's going on.

**Faetyl** · #8 10-25-2006, 08:04 PM

I logged in to beta and everything still works.
I'm assuming you are refering to test so i'll log over there and check it out.

**Faetyl** · #9 10-25-2006, 08:24 PM

wow yup not working in test.
We'll have to wait and see where they are going with this.
The original thorui mods do work in test so use those for now.

thepriz · #10 10-25-2006, 08:28 PM

I probably am doing something wrong but everytime I drag something out of the bags it resizes to the original size (which in some cases covers up some of the bag slots).

The hotbars work great, but it would be nice if they could use the hide spinner feature in the context menu to hide the bank selector.

**Faetyl** · #11 10-25-2006, 08:48 PM

Thanks for those points i had no idea.

I'll try and see what's preventing the "hide spinner" from working.
The issue with the bags resizing may not be resolvable but i'll poke around on it some more and see what I can come up with. (I'm assuming the whole "resizable feature" may be the issue and we may need to go back to a set width without the resize feature.)

**Faetyl** · #12 10-25-2006, 09:45 PM

Hotkey updated and should be 100% (Re-download from list above)
Give it a try and let me know if I goofed again.

Working on Bags now:
Looks like the system automatically resizes the bag based on the 6 slot width that I set in the initial bag size.
Therefore if you resize to 4 slot width and move an item in the bag; the bag will resize thinking you actually have the width set to a 6 slot bag.
This leaves me to believe the in game resizing option won't work until the devs code it in and with all they are working on now I think they have their hands full.

I'll work on setting up my typical 6 slot non-"in game"resizable bag for now to get something stable, then poke at it some more later.

**Faetyl** · #13 10-25-2006, 11:07 PM

Bag Window Revised to the non-resizable option (See edit notes above)

Someone smarter than me will have to figure this one out if its even possible.

Damagemann · #14 10-26-2006, 07:06 PM

Downloaded the new files, no more errors, yet.

Thanks,

Dmg

Well, I have not been able to log in to beta for the last 2 days, the game crashes when I pick a toon from the character select screen, I deleted the beta_toon-name_uisettings.ini for each toon, but still crashes.

Could it be the ui?

**Faetyl** · #16 11-01-2006, 10:49 AM

It could indeed.

Rename eq2.ini to oldeq2.ini or anything that you will remember.
Then try and log in game.
That will "disable" the ThorUI

I'll log in today and see what's going on.

Damagemann · #17 11-01-2006, 11:13 AM

Yeah, that fixed the problem.

Thxs,

Dmg

**Faetyl** · #18 11-01-2006, 09:55 PM

Found the changes regarding the MainChat window and just posted my complete recode of that window (see first post in this thread) "eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml"
Let me know if you see any issues with it.

Note: This resolves the crash at character load issue.

FoxRoshak · #19 11-02-2006, 05:59 PM

I have posted on the EoF board..I assumed that was the proper place due to our EULA. Was I wrong in tis thinking?

**Faetyl** · #20 11-02-2006, 06:05 PM

You were correct.
I replied there in turn just now.

FoxRoshak · #21 11-02-2006, 07:39 PM

total awesome work man..trying to redo this as i still get crashes..see you on the other boards..I know how horrible covered up you must be with 3 servers and all the forums

remove the eq2.ini file and start over

thats what was doing it for me.

FoxRoshak · #23 11-03-2006, 06:26 PM

ok my quote post went above his post wierd...anyways made a post on the beta boards about the persona window...i get a non-compatable error..no game crash thankfully just a error saying my persona window isn't compatable

**Faetyl** · #24 11-03-2006, 06:44 PM

I'm a numbskull and forgot to upload it.
Was the first window I fixed and as such forgot it was an issue.

Anyways, I just uploaded it so give it a try.

As for the /loadui issue.
I see all sorts of posts about how that still doesn't work and not to use it...
If you have the eq2.ini file (which comes with the full ThorUI AU install) you shouldn't need to use /loadui

Also, to the poster of the /loadui issue.
Check your forum and computer times.
It appears to be off.
