Thanks

Yep, the mods themselves don't create any requirements as to screen resolution except for possibly not supporting lower res screens such as 1024x768 "If a window in the mod is to big...". Simply put if the mod supports that res it will support all higher than that.
Just note you will need to use the "window placements" file for your resolution and if there isn't one for your resolution you would need to create this your self by basically rearranging your windows. Using a window placement file is completely optional though.

I can tell you right now, that I don't have a window placement file for that resolution but would be more than happy to post yours for others to use.

Yep, thats an error on Sonys part which I removed completely since it wasn't required, to keep from getting the UI error.
Sony is fixing it with LU12 and it's becoming required hence my reincluding it in the eq2_mainhud.xml

Basically they incorrectly named the eq2ui_ArenaChampions_ArenaScore.xml file as eq2ui_ArenaChampions_Score.xml (which is being resolved with LU12)
I had to add it back or else everyone using the ThorUI (and other mods without the eq2ui_ArenaChampions_ArenaScore.xml reference) will crash at login after the update and we wouldn't want that to happen.

Hi there,

I absolutely LOVE the ThorUI but I have a serious problem!

Every time i camp and reload EQ2 the predefined chat windows all disappear and i can´t get them back

I am using the predefined 1280*1024 config file from the beginning of the thread...

Anyone experiencing the same problem? I don´t know what to do...
I have to re-setup the config file every single time i run the game

Thanks for any input!

Sounds like my window placements file may be corrupt again.
When the chat doesn't show up, just press enter and it "should" bring it right back with all the previous settings.

I'll try and redo the window placement file and reupload soon.
I have a few more changes coming that will be changing some windows such as no notes and harvest external windows. (Going to be in the Quest Journal or help window).

Sounds like the infamous corrupt eq2_uisettings.ini
If memory serves, this is a known Sony issue and the best way to resolve it is by downloading this replacement.
http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3822

Let us know if it works.

FYI, I'm working on a replacement to my eq2_uisettings.ini and should have it soon. Check the main post at the Interface Discussion Thread as I'll post it there.

Yep
I prepared for this some time ago actually and the update has been available for over a week now.

Just ensure you're running v4.0
If you still have trouble please let me know ASAP so I can assist.

Also, no offense meant by this as it's for all who use the ThorUI...
Please, if you're having trouble, make sure you are using the latest version.
The begining of this thread has detailed instructions for posting issues.
Please follow those instructions in order to help me help you.

Thanks so much,
Thor/Faetyl

Thanks for the update, Faetyl! I patched this last week, and it was a smooth transition today. Awesome job!!!

Either case, I'm not having an issue with the exp window.
Try this one (see attachment)
Maybe you have an outdated one or it's become corrupt somehow?
Just right click the link and "save as" and save to your custom UI folder whatever it may be called.

Let me know in the Interface Discussion Thread wether it works or not.
http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=3530

Applied the Link as instructed and still blacked out. I am pretty sure its not the UI pieces as much as its a some other thing in the UI..

Meaning I am sure its not your UI piece i am using thats having the problem as much as its EQs command somewhere i am not connecting to.. I had this problem once before but fixed it somehow and i dont know how i did it ROFL.

Any other ideas?

My next thought is that "I hate to say it" but perhaps another mod that you are using changed some of the default UI items that the Experience Bar expercts to find/calls to...

If possible zip up your custom UI folder and send it to me along with a screenshot just in case.
I'm on Yahoo and MSN messenger if they are large or you can email or private message me with the attachment if it's small under 1meg.

Update: Issue was due to another mod including a framestyle file.
Once that file was removed all issues went with it.

Nitrius · #66 07-20-2005, 06:02 PM

I play on the european servers, so we get the update in some few hours now, i just want to know, if the 4.0 version works with the new update?

I have yet to see anyone that is using ThorUI v4.0 with an issue relating to LU12 (or any open issue for that matter)

Please correct me if i'm wrong.

ok i found out u have to delete the ThorUI folder under UI then it works great for me again, after i reinstall.

still want to know what show dock option is though

Nitrius · #71 07-21-2005, 10:30 AM

Show dock? where do i find that? hmm can't remember to have seen anything like that...

Abdgar · #72 07-21-2005, 03:27 PM

I followed the instructions and set the first preset just fine.

Then repeated the process for presets 2 and 3.

Now the buttons for presets 2 and 3 have dissapeared and I can not use them.

Any clue as to what I may have done wrong?

Thank you in advance for any help.

The inventory window is a mod originally done by the master, Fetish aka Zonx

The "show dock" button allows you to place a window (the dock) to a specific loaction so that when you click on the dock button on the inventory it will shrink the inventory window and pop over to that location.

First i've heard of this.
I'll have to look at it closer when I get home (at work now)

Update:
Good news, I figured out what's wrong.
Bad news, the executable "which can't be edited by me" places the buttons in their original location "off screen" when you update them.
You can place them back to the correct location by editing with notepad and changing (Location="4,21" to Location="16,1") in custompreset2 and (Location="4,35" to Location="31,1") in custompreset3
I'll look into what I can do to resolve this issue.
One option is to remove them entirely i suppose...
The other is to see if I can hack the exe... (This one sounds like more geek fun)
I'll udate you here...

Update to the Update: "Hey we're dealing with Sony here, i can get away with it as well"

Custompreset exe hacked to accomodate the positioning of my mod.
I'll be sure it's included in the next patch v4.1

Excellent eyes Abdgar and thank you for taking the time to point this out!

That issue would be caused by using the old manual zip install then overwriting with the new auto install.
You're absolutely correct, deleting the ThorUI folder and reinstalling will fix this issue for any others that may run into it.

The Dock is for when you "dock" your inventory window.
You can place the dock window somewhere on your screen and when you "dock" the inventory window it will shrink it and move it over to that position.
