UI not loading

I have tried both the live and the install version of the new version, but ui doesn't seem to load at all.

The config program works and all seems to be ok, but ui just don't load on entering EQ.

Anyone have any suggestions ?

I did a completely fresh install to try to avoid any old config errors

Thanks!

Hi Sabane, yes I am working on an extension to the Prestige Stack Monitor that will give you this functionality. It's a fairly ambitious project and I don't have an ETA on it right now. In the meantime, a player spell timer from one of the other authors should be compatible with DarqUI or DarqUI Live.

Copying Settings

Thanks. I had two copies of the xml's, one in the UI folder, the other in the Darqui_live POI because I installed eq2map after. Now that I know where they are, I am set.

Zendi, no need to jump off the wizard spires. You can use Notepad to copy settings quickly from one character to another. First you need to open your \POI folder, which if you use EQ2MAP it will probably be in the \UI\DarqUI_Live folder, otherwise it will be in the \UI\Default folder. Each DarqUI Live window that you have configured will have its own configuration file containing all characters. For example, darqui_xpbar.xml has all of your XP Bar settings.

Open the file with Notepad, make sure Word Wrap is turned off, then copy and paste all blocks of code with the donor character's name. For some windows there will only be one block and for others there will be several, not necessarily all in one place. Replace the donor character's name with the new character, save and restart the game. In this example I copied Jimmy's XP Bar settings to Billy:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Page Name="POI">
    <Page Name="Jack_0">
        <Icon Name="4" PathFindLocation="0.00 20000.00 0.00" PoiDescription="7" PoiResource="site" PoiShowAlways="true" PoiType=":69c2ff8796bcf61b_1:site" Tooltip="4" />
    </Page>
    <Page Name="Jill_0">
        <Icon Name="4" PathFindLocation="0.00 20000.00 0.00" PoiDescription="9" PoiResource="site" PoiShowAlways="true" PoiType=":69c2ff8796bcf61b_1:site" Tooltip="4" />
    </Page>
    <Page Name="Jimmy_0">
        <Icon Name="4" PathFindLocation="0.00 20000.00 0.00" PoiDescription="11" PoiResource="site" PoiShowAlways="true" PoiType=":69c2ff8796bcf61b_1:site" Tooltip="4" />
        <Icon Name="8" PathFindLocation="0.00 20000.00 0.00" PoiDescription="1" PoiResource="site" PoiShowAlways="true" PoiType=":69c2ff8796bcf61b_1:site" Tooltip="8" />
    </Page>
    <Page Name="Billy_0">
        <Icon Name="4" PathFindLocation="0.00 20000.00 0.00" PoiDescription="11" PoiResource="site" PoiShowAlways="true" PoiType=":69c2ff8796bcf61b_1:site" Tooltip="4" />
        <Icon Name="8" PathFindLocation="0.00 20000.00 0.00" PoiDescription="1" PoiResource="site" PoiShowAlways="true" PoiType=":69c2ff8796bcf61b_1:site" Tooltip="8" />
    </Page>
</Page>

Make sure you copy complete character blocks from <Page... to ...</Page> and dont put any information after the very last </Page> in the file.

I have one character configured exactly the way I want it with window settings and Darqui_iive settings. I can copy the window settings to another character, how do I copy the darqui_live settings? I have a LOT of characters, so doing each one individually would make me kill myself.

The game world will not look as good, but the UI pieces will grow to be more readable.

Good news Darqwood. I'll give it a try, thanks.

theme is working though

Edit :
btw is there any chance you can include spell icon size in the target window like previous draqui ? also i found out that those spell icons on group window doesn't refresh
when hoping to another toon ( stays on the first toon you logon / previous untill you change it manually )

thank you

Rena, the behavior you see with the settings is a limitation of using the mapping system to save customizations. You can set up character A, then set up B, but if you want to switch back to character A you must either /loadui or log out to desktop and restart the game. This only happens during setup. Once you are all set up you can restart the game and switch between characters like normal.

The target/implied target icon size was unfortunately broken when the game developers forced the icons to 15 pixels to accommodate other features. If this changes (not likely), I can put the resizer back in.

Also: when you choose a preset spell in the window manager, the icons on the right-hand side switch to the page where that particular icon is located. When I was developing this it seemed intuitive to switch pages, although I have gotten other feedback that this is somewhat confusing until it is explained.

Hi rena, if you configure DarqUI Live settings and then later install EQ2MAP, your previous settings will appear to be reset since EQ2MAP creates a new POI folder, which is where the custom settings go. If this is the case for you, either move the darqui_ files out of the UI\Default\POI folder into the new POI folder in your custom UI, or reconfigure the settings.

When you accept a color theme and download it, this places the theme files into your UI folder but it does not install them. In order to use a custom theme, click the gear icon at the top of the updater window and choose the theme from the dropdown. Please post back here if this does not correct the issue.
