GU55/Sentinel's Fate Update

[Dethdlr]

Howdy Zonx,

Ya been busy working your magic on Fetish Nightfall for GU55/Sentinel's Fate? Or do we need to fiddle around ourselves for a few days after release until you get everything in place for us?

If we need to do some changes ourselves, from what I understand, here are the changes that need to be done on launch day:

Delete from the FetishNightfall folder:

eq2ui_journals.xml
eq2ui_journals_active.xml
eq2ui_journals_quest.xml
eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml
eq2ui_mainhud_mainchatnew.xml
eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml

Add this line to eq2ui_mainhud.xml on a new line right after the line containing eq2ui_mainhud_contest.xml:

<include>eq2ui_mainhud_customization.xml</include>

(yeah, position doesn't really matter, but keeping them in alphabetical order doesn't hurt)

I think Keezyrick had some updated files for beta but the link posted on the beta boards doesn't seem to work anymore (at least for me).

Thanks again for all the work you do on this UI Zonx. For me, the game wouldn't be the same without it.

I expect to have a full update available by pre-order release (Tuesday).

Basically all the edits are done, I just need to test and debug over the next few days.

I'll have to look at the chat window... didn't see any changes there.

I don't remember any changes on Beta, and there's nothing listed for that window in Dolby's SF comparison.

It wasn't a change on beta to my knowledge. The only issue was caused by dynamic spacing because math operations were returning their results in scientific notation. Rothgar fixed that problem a month or so ago.

The chat windows did not work properly until that issue was fixed but they should work fine as is now.

Yeah, I forgot about that since they got it fixed. The net result is that there's no real changes necessary to the mainchat window =)

Awesome. Sorry for the wild goose chase on the chat window. Was on my list from beta and never updated the list once the bug got fixed apparently.

Glad to hear you're on top of things as usual.

Great news, keep up the good work

I have always used the one that shows the quests on the bottom of the window called _bottom_eq2ui_journals_active.xml. I noticed that 11.2 has this file, and the _top_ file, with the date of 12/03/2009. The 11.1 version, cause I always rename my folder FetishNightFallOld, has a date on the same files of 12/04/2009. I checked the original new file, eq2ui_journals_active.xml, in 11.2 and it shows a date of 02/15/2010. Did you possibly forget to update the _top_ and _bottom_ files?? I'm bringing this up because I'm getting an error window same as some that posted above...I'm hoping that I found out why...I'm going to copy the _bottom_ file from the 11.1 Fetish folder to my new folder and try it and see if that works...if it doesn't then I'll replace that file with the 2010 file and see if that works...

As always, this is a great thing that you do for us Zonx and I feel confident in saying that we all appreciate all of the work that you put into keeping Fetish alive and well!

Ok, after doing some file moves, the _bottom_ and _top_ files dated 12/xx/2009 don't work at all...the new 2010 file works fine for me. I can live with this until I get a chance to compare the new file to the _bottom_ and _top_ files to see what mods need to be done to make them work. I'm just glad to have it functional so it's no big rush for me.

The quest helper window was totally revamped. Any file that has not be updated for GU55 (without a date of around Feb 2010) will not work.

Zonx probably included the old files by accident.

[Zonx]

Yah just didn't remove them. There is no need for the alternate versions now that the additional controls have been removed.

My persona window didnt show the proper stats and such like some others didnt, i removed the eq2ui_gamedata.xml like Zonx said, and logged back in and the persona works now and shows all my stats.......
