No update message changes on UI on Oct 13, 2005

MirageKnight · #1 10-13-2005, 02:51 PM

Anyone know which file has been changed?

I found some DDS file missing (or changed into something) on Oct 13, 2005 patch.

For example,

windowpieces01.dds

that I was using in some UI now gone.

me thinks they stopped using a few files which in turn fubard everything.

I started crashing on login today, no idea why. Updated my drivers, and messed with settings. Went back to default UI and stopped crashing. Now that I wasted all that time, lol... I'm trying to figure out what's up.

labweb · #5 10-13-2005, 05:49 PM

I had to go back to the default UI

it's horrible. When I tried to start the game with my UI there were no fonts to be found anywhere and it was very very slow. It's still very slow loading up right now too.

Kamintar · #6 10-13-2005, 06:23 PM

Also crashing as well, using Profit's UI - Default UI fixed the problem, but I can't play with the default anymore...

Warcondom · #7 10-13-2005, 06:30 PM

I can't open my bags! Theres no button for it now! Why god why!

Lovebrat · #8 10-13-2005, 07:15 PM

Now thats really weird. I am using a cobbled together UI of my own making using some Fetish, OCD, Mahroni, Milquetowst, depechenode and others. I logged in right after server up and all was fine. Then a few hours later I had major font problems with player/mob/npc names etc. Journal, market etc was all fine. Bah, now Im scared to log back in - default UI HAH!

fithin · #9 10-13-2005, 09:00 PM

Im using a lil bit of everyone's UI and my stuff crashes right when you first get into the game.

Anakreon · #10 10-13-2005, 09:15 PM

eq2ui_mainhud.xml is your problem. Delete it from the custom folder and you're gtg.

Although they also changed something that has to do with the maps, because now at Character Select it shows the zone I'm in as the map file name, instead of the zone's name. Strange.

mettkan13 · #11 10-13-2005, 09:16 PM

Aye... using piece together UI myself and OMG going back to default is murder. Can they make the things any bigger to cover up more of your screen? Found I had difficulty playing as well.

I know you programmers are working on it and I just wanted to say thanks for fixing the @!@*%*#& that is SOE. Leave it to them to always break something that is working and never fix anything that is broken.

Mahonri · #12 10-13-2005, 09:27 PM

I poked my head around for a while today using all my custom pieces and could find any problems...

Jaxel · #13 10-13-2005, 09:41 PM

I've only found 1 problem with OCD-Adv, and that is with the lack of radial buttons in the startbutton. Anyone have a copy of the old widgets.dds?

Bladespirit · #15 10-13-2005, 10:09 PM

well renaming or removing eq2ui_mainhud.xml file in custom UI folder helped.
i also copied default eq2ui_mainhud.xml file and added lines like :

**** this is only example of my file *******

<include>eq2ui_mainhud_clickyhelp.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_mainhud_coinweight.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_mainhud_emotelist.xml</include>
<include>eq2ui_mainhud_emote.xml</include>

to the bottom of the file above </Page>

then put newly modified eq2ui_mainhud.xml file to custom UI folder, worked.

only that Jaxel's Startbutton mod's custom setting buttons n other graphic setting buttons are blacked out.

hope this helps

**Drumstix42** · #16 10-13-2005, 10:18 PM

I did a compare of my eq2ui_mainhud.xml and the default, and the only difference was my added .xml file. Can't figure out why it's crashing me. I've got a mix and match of my own, and most of what I've edited. All my borders are missing, and most things are black from what I can see before I crash. I was able to walk around for about 4 seconds earlier, but crashed anyway.

yes Anakreon your right about mainhud.xml , I removed mine and now im back in action ty so much for posting that info I was going crazy with default UI, I tried a few things before posting to this so to be sure it was working for me, I searched market :P ( found a deal ) zoned 2 times, gated, casted spell, then I done a lil dance because I can use my custom mix and match UI ...so im gtg

Kamintar · #18 10-15-2005, 12:24 PM

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I'm using Profit's UI and I deleted the eq2ui_mainhud.xml file and it still isn't any different, crashes in the same place...

Has anyone had luck with Jaxel's UI since the patch? If I have to I can revert to that for now...Although I don't want to be without Profit's - It's just too engrained in my brain.

OK. The issue is this.

The first line of eq2ui_mainhud.xml needs to end in a single linefeed. Not a CR NL like all the other lines in that file and all lines in other files.

In notepad, this will show up as a small square between ?> and <Page

If you change this to any other white space (a space, a CR NL pair) the entire UI breaks and the game becomes unusable.

Sony devs, please fix the parser for this file to accept standard XML.

Hope this helps,
Sixes.

This was posted in the User Interface section of the Everquest II Official forums.
After I used the Notepad and looked at the Default - eq2ui_mainhud.xml and compared to my custom ui - eq2ui_mainhud.xml I could see the difference. You can see a box in place of a space as described.
I copied the first 2 lines from default and replaced that in custom ui file using Notepad. I logged into game and everything worked as usual.
