Default TyeJae Steel

This is where I am going to check on requests and suggestions for the TyeJae Steel Mod that I created. I hope so far everyone is enjoying it and I look forward to making more mods...

Also, debt xp in the player window would be super. I'm adding this in myself in the meantime. - can't figure it out. it looks like you have the line of code for debt xp but i can't get it to show up. there's no official thread opened for this UI so I guess i'll just wait until you open one to discuss this.

One more thing, having the tradeskill xp bar being optional would be handy. Perhaps having the experience window there under the player window with a steel background so it could be switched between adventure and tradeskill xp, or two versions of the player window - one with both xp bars one with just adventure - that could be copied into the main directory at the user's choice.

As you can see I'm already enjoying this UI and just nitpicking details that I would like to see.
Very good feedback. I think I could do somthing about it not showing tradeskill exp, that wouldn't be that hard of a fix. As far as the debt exp goes, I do have that information in there, but just set it off to the side for if anyone wanted to pull it into view. Is this something that most people would want in there? I just didnt put it in there because it wasn't that significant to me, I would rather not know how much debt I have. Let me know.

Look at Humudce's xp bar, the one with the single xp bar, you can right click it and change to TS xp, and switch back and forth. (I'm not sure if you can do this in default EQ2 or not)

it seems that most of the xp bars are all including blue bub xp and debt xp ... its all definately stuff i use myself. atm i have a custom xp bar open along with your ui so i can see it all. i played around in your code in the player window and couldnt get it to show up for the life of me. if its a quick fix to make it work - something like xp on top, blue bub xp next down, debt xp below that - maybe you could just add that file as a custom xp bar included for use optionally.

or just tell me what code I need to change to get it to show and i'll just change it for myself =) I swear I tried moving it around, changing the location everything and couldnt get anything to change - even using the custom xp window as a reference.

the exp bar switch between tradeskill and adventurer seems to be hardcoded from what i have seen when i was doing my exp bar for the test server. If you DO have the default names for the 2 pages for the ts/adv exp only 1 at a time will show and you have to use the right click -> switch to adv/ts experience, BUT if you just rename the pages then they both show up, however maybe that was just something strange for me. If it is hard coded you could always use a button toggle that makes it hide one page with the exp bar and show the other and then set itself so that when its clicked again to do the opposite. <---- really long run on sentance, sorry about that

Default Couple of Requests and one Minor Item

TyeJae I have a couple of requests. First could you Skin the Quest Helper window to match the The Group bar as an add on to the end of it in the upper right corner. Secondly could you skin the Chat bars to match this UI as well.

The only thing I am having trouble with is that my chat bars will not scroll down at all nor can I get the Flashing Icon to come up to type in my own chat.

Thanks

M.

Default Suggestion TyeJae Steel

I have an odd suggestion.

Is there a way for you to flip the whole dashboard part of the UI? I prefer the bulk of my UI to be at the bottom of the screen.

The organization is perfect..it just needs to be flipped so it can be moved down.



Regardless.. a VERY nice job. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, I'm getting a similar bug in all of my "extra" chat windows (the ones I opened from my main one). It appears that these chat windows have about 5 to 10 extra lines that aren't being displayed, so I'm only getting text after 5 new messages are queued up. For example, if I kick a gnoll for 10 points, I don't see it until I also hit the gnoll 5 more times and the message scrolls on-screen.

Default Chat box

I just Downloaded Insoms Chat box and added it to this UI. Solved all my Problems. This is by far the best of all the UI's Out for EQ 2. If we can get someone to Skin the chat boxes, Quest Helper, and possibly the other things like Quest Journal, Map Window, Knowledge Bokk, Inventory Window etc etc with this steel look It would be absolutely Godly. It is heaven now but Godly would put it in a class of its own lol.

Would I just overwrite the files that are already in the UI subdirectory to do this?

Tyejae,

Really nice work. I have a small (hopefully) request from you. My girlfriend has a 15" LCD monitor and space is at a premium. We both think your steel mod is great, but I was wondering if you'd release just the group bar of the Steel mod, without the character stats or money and so forth to save on space?

Thanks either way!

I have only one gripe:
The actual picture is larger than the graphic. In other words, if you click BELOW the steel portion of the graphic there is still some portion of clear window there which prevents you from being able to manipulate the environment. Any way around that?


Otherwise, this thing kicks more ass than Jet Li.

the only way to make it possible to click in the clear area would be to set AbsorbsInput=False. but then you wouldn't be able to move it, click on something in the window, and you would be clicking through the whole thing(not just the clear part) or TyeJae would have to change the layout of the windows to minimize the clear spots that you cant click though.i dont have the mod so i cant really give you a more detailed description.

Yeah the problem with every mod is that you are forced to make squares as it will not let you make custom shapes so all I can do is make whatever part of the square transparent but it will still block you from selecting whatever is behind it. The picture below shows what I am talking about. The green parts are part of the image but transparent.



I just read taco-man's response. I did not know making absorb input = false would do that, but yes you would not be able to drag it around, the other thing I could do is create 4 or 5 different images that all line up to create this image, but that would just be a pain.

I could probably do this for you, give me about a week to get this done, I work 12 hour days 6 days a week, so I can access the internet at work, but not do any modding.

I plan on doing a full mod with this look, it is just going to take me some time so I thought I would just release the versions as I go.

For those of you having problems with the chat windows I apologize, I do not know why this is happening, maybe I should just leave that out and people can have the option to add it themselves if they want. If you would like to fix this problem just download whatever chat window you want and put it in the TyeJae_Steel folder and overwrite the current files or you can go to your default UI folder and drag over the original chat file and overwrite.

I am not the author however at least you will have an answer
#1 - Not currently possible. However it will be soon, its possible on the test server right now.

#2 - wherever you see Font="/Fonts.FontZapf15" replace it with Font="/Fonts.FontZapf16" or if you want it even bigger Font="/Fonts.FontZapf18" and if you want it arial Font="/Fonts.FontArial14" or Font="/Fonts.FontArialBold15"

EDIT: just keep in mind that you may have to change the size and position of everything that you change the text size of because if the text is bigger it will be taking up more space.

This should GREATLY REDUCE the space that you cant click through, you might have to reset the windows in-game to thier default size/location to get it to line up properly. what i did to get rid of the space you cant click though is change sourcerects for images, reduce the windows sizes so that it was *just* the right size since some of them were way too big (they had a bunch of blank space), and then get rid of the streching of the images since it was necessary to stop it from stretching to reduce the windows sizes and the streching wasn't needed.

In the next 2 screenshots The inside the red lines show where you cant click through.
Before:


After:


All i did was fix it up a little to get rid the spaces you cant click though, all credit for the interface goes to TyeJae.
