any plugin didnt load

spajdr · #1 08-17-2005, 06:26 PM

Hello

Maybe im stupid, but i read FAQ how to install a plugin.
I downloaded classicvert addon, unzipped it under UI directory.
I created eq2.ini
put this inside:
cl_ui_skinname classicvert
cl_ui_subdir UI/
(tried it in reverse way)

Thats should be all, no?
Well it didnt load, default skin still loads, but if i do /loadui, it appears there, i can choose it, but all numbers are wrong and after restart default skin is loaded, what im doing wrong?

I have US version.

While assuming your EverQuest 2 directory is here:
C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II

The directory structure should look like so:

eq2.ini (Tells EQ2 what mod to load)
C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\eq2.ini

\classicvert (Directory that contains all actual mod files)
C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\classicvert(Note: files should be losely in this folder. For example, ensure they aren't like so "classicvert\classicvert\*.*"

Hope this helps...

Ok if you see the interface under the still kinda broken /loadui command you have the interface files in the correct location.

So that leads me to believe there is a problem with your eq2.ini file. Are you certain its not named eq2.ini.txt as explained here? Are you putting the eq2.ini file in your C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest II\ folder? It doesnt go in the UI folder.

edit: bah, Faetyl beat me.

Right click on the eq2.ini and choose properties. I bet you it says its a text file and its real name is eq2.ini.txt. The reason I say this is that windows is hideing the .exe from your EQ2.exe in your first picture. The guide I linked in my above post should fix the problem.

yes, im idiot, it was it, i recently reinstalled windows and forget to uncheck in file properties to not show known file extensions

That is part of the interface mod. You'll want to look through the Hotbar interface peices and drop in a new hotbar that says it with no labels or small labels. Just drop that xml into your custom vert folder and overwite the one that is in there.
