UISwitcher v1.0+

[ger]

Work's been killing me lately, but it's finally time to get this half of the UISuite out in actual release form. Please post any comments, concerns, praise, offers to have my children, et cetera here. And, as always, enjoy.

Version 1.0 has been uploaded for approval. This thread will serve every version from here on out.

i thought you might find this usefull if you want to add support for language folders.
someone requested support for other languages for the eq2map updater, so i wrote the code for it and it will be in the next release of it. back to your ui swithcer, here is the code i use for detection of language folders, it uses a simple regex (regular expression) to locate any language folders. the regex itself is about 1/2 way down in the code.

        Dim folders() As String
        'obviously maineq2dir has to be set to the main eq2 directory prior to this
        folders = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(MainEQ2dir)
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim LanguageSearch As String
        For i = 0 To folders.Length - 1
            LanguageSearch += folders(i).ToString + vbCrLf
        Next
        Dim regLanguage As New Regex("(LP_REGION_[A-Z]{2}_[A-Z]{2})")
        Dim matchLanguage As MatchCollection = regLanguage.Matches(LanguageSearch)
        For i = 0 To matchLanguage.Count - 1
            'add the language as a choice to the drop down language box
            cmbLanguage.Items.Add(matchLanguage(i).Value)
        Next

EDIT: i just realized this code is slightly flawed as it will return a language directory that has characters after it when it shouldn't example:
LP_REGION_EN_USiliketoeatlots_ofgoodfoor OR iliketoeatlots_ofgoodfoorLP_REGION_EN_US
returns
LP_REGION_EN_US
i will update the code to only return the correct folders late in afternoon on saturday when i get back. you may not even care about it in which case let me know and i will just delet this whole post.

I was planning, eventually, to just use LP_REGION_??_?? hehe

Actually, i am very interested in getting multiple languages to work in eq2. Previous to a few weeks ago the UI was working fine with windows IME. Now, it doesn't seem to access it anymore. Would be nice if there was a custom UI to fix this.

Sorry, realized after reading a bit that you are referring to a different issue with language (not game input). I opened a new thread under requests. Please disregard my last comment.

I love the ease of switching ui's with this. I just thought you might like to know that when using the button "Get more UIs" the address it opens up is incorrect in that it doesnt have the "f" in "interface" so it trys taking you to http://www.eq2interace.com which doesnt exist at this time../ponders what that could possibly be Again thank you for such a wonderful utility!!

That would be a typo that I haven't had a chance to fix due to the amount I have to do at work, as well as laying the groundwork to start my own guild. I'll try to get it done…eventually.

I hate it when real life gets in the way of fun!!

I figured it was a typo, and my experience with editing such is non-existant.

you have your computers DPI set to a non standard #. if you set it to the default (96) it will look correct.
