Stuff that concerns MODDING the UI:

- Tabbed chat windows make their long-awaited debut! You can now combine multiple chat windows into a single window with subject tabs by dragging one window onto another. The window being added needs to be no larger than the parent window. To separate the combined windows, drag one of the tabs to an open section of the screen.

- See what your target is attacking with the new Implied Target window!
- There are two separate Vitality pools: one for adventure XP and one for tradeskill XP. Your Persona window now features a gauge next to each experience bar that shows how much Vitality you have left. (NOTE: The Vitality gauges going in with this update are using placeholder artwork. We will be improving the presentation before updating the live servers.)

- You can now make notes next to the names on your Friends and Ignore lists.
- You can now add labels to your bags via the right click menu.

- Added a "Recipes" button to the tradeskill progess window.

oh joy!

Bwahaha, I'm as lucky with EQ2's UI as I was with EQ1. None of the files I modded will need patching.

Here's my advice: don't touch eq2ui_mainhud.xml. It's the most likely to get patched by SOE over time. It's the equivalent (in terms of chance to be changed by SOE) of the animations xml file for EQ1.

New Gamedata!

The in-game clock just got clockier. (They didn't change the default themselves, of course.)


EDIT: Bobble sayeth the group portion won't work in this release. You can still plan ahead though. The names for the data tags won't change, right?

Sorry to bring some bad news -- the group data and heading didn't get implemented for this release. I can't always be the good guy.

But the discussion about XP debt and negatives if zero should be resolved.
See you on the test server!

MrBobble

[taco-man]

hey you cant have everything at once, its great to see all the stuff that was added/fixed. We will just have 2 things to look forward to for a future release.

MrBobble

Thanks for the heads up.

(BTW, /Gamedata.Self.Heading is going to include the rest of the /loc data when called as text, right? )

[Findarato]

Any one know if they fixed the Dynamic Data for tradeskill xp%?

It never seems to show up, all I get is .4%

Still thoes additions will be sweet thanks for the update.

SOO happy to see Implied targets

Actually, I bet I'll be done with my changes before the test server is up and accessible.

Hmm...

That means that there are 168 chunks given, and each use of Vitality should be less than that. We're gonna need a full-screen-width Vitality bar. (Do gauges even display a change of less than 1%? If not, I hope that they add a current/max text readout.)

[Deathbane27]

Well, don't get excited just yet. Currently, the vitality gauges always show blank (I've a character on test that's almost a month old that I never did tradeskills on and haven't played in 4 days, and in the default UI her gauges are blank), and Implied Targetting is broken. No, not just the new window, I mean Implied Targetting itself, the mechanic, is broken.

/Gamedata.Target.Level works great, though.

What about /Gamedata.Target.Power?

[Deathbane27]

Ah, yes. That works perfectly as well. Haven't tested any of the other new GameData yet.

The chat window's internal format has changed drasticly, but the old format still works, so our existing mods won't break.

It shows blank until you gain some exp, then it shows your proper vitality. Known bug. At least it should be known by now.

I'm curious to see their final version of the vitality meter, this one is indeed lacking.

EDIT: I moved a copy of the adventure vitality vial to my player window so I could watch it's behavior. Upon entering the game the vitality reads as it should. It's not being refreshed when you zone, however. Get some exp in that zone though and both vials are refreshed.

[Selae]

Very nice... I like it!

all I have to say is: eq2ui_mainhud_impliedtarget.xml

/cheer

[Drumstix42]

I feel all tingly inside

[insomniac]

wow. They totally killed our request list!

<3 to soe =D

edit: oh somebody on test attach gamedata.xml please.

[Humudce]

Woot the death debt no longer shows the negative version of the positive XP if you don't have any debt... It now displays 0% again like it did before the big patch. Also it looks like they fixed the Tradeskill XP % display which is a very cool fix as I know alot of Artisans would like to see their XP just like their Combat cousins. Great Job SoE....

[taco-man]

already got a 2 different target bar windows ready for when the changes on the test server go live

Amen!

I like'd having the chat filters, and then the normal filters (in the options menu like in EQ1)

Also... different character UI's would be nice
