I have never posted here before, I love the satement "Don not post a comment asking for help". sooo... how do you GET HELP?

I have installed this UI but just get a black window when I run "/show_window Journals.InfoCenter". I created a subfolder under the UI directory called customUI, and I modified the eq2.ini file (backed it up and then delted everything in it). I then added the text:

cl_ui_skinname customUI
cl_ui_subdir UI/

As I said, when I run the command ingame all I get is a large black window. So, if I can't get help here can some please direct me where I can?

Thanks-
Tib

As is noted in the text you partially quoted, which is seen every time you choose to post a file comment on *any* mod available here at eq2interface.com, all help or feature requests are supposed to be posted in the relevant thread in the "released mods" forum.

And as is stated in the description of this specific mod, "Please post any comments, suggestions or questions on the appropriate forum thread, and not here. That way, I'll know as soon as I visit that new comments exist. Thanks!" (The "appropriate forum" text, by the way, is a hyperlink which takes you directly to the forum thread in question.)

Personally, I don't much care one way or the other, and folk post what should be forum messages as file comments and vice versa all the time, anyway, but, well, protocol is protocol.

The fact that you're only getting a black window suggests that something's wrong with your installation.

(a) The "customUI" folder should be in the "UI" folder, along with the "Default" and "fonts" folders. (b) The "customUI" folder should contain the "eq2ui_journals.xml" and "eq2ui_journals_infocenter.xml" files, as well as the "infocenter" folder. (c) The "infocenter" folder should, in turn, contain a dozen files and a dozen subfolders.

If that *doesn't* match the way things are currently structured, well, there's your problem. If it *does* match, we'll have to investigate further.

Either way, just to keep the Powers That Be happy, please post any follow-up comments on the forum rather than here.

as a note for those with the 'blank window' problem -
one thing i've noticed is that a lot of the time when there is this sort of problem, it is because when the person extracted the files from the zip file, they selected them and dragged to the UI folder. THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH NESTED FOLDERS IN A ZIP FILE.

you really have to actually USE the 'extract' button, tell it which folder you want to be the start of the extract, and tell it to keep folder pathing and names. if you do this, it will create the folder structure required for this kind of window to work.

thought this might help.

Lodrelhai

Not necessarily. Every UI I've installed I've dragged & dropped from the zip file to the custom UI folder with no problems. If the file/folder structure is correct in the zip, it should copy correctly to the custom UI.

DBurgdorf

I've never had any trouble, either, but I think a lot depends upon which "unzip" program you're using, and what your default settings happen to be. Certainly, especially for less savvy users, Kudilu's suggestion isn't going to cause any *trouble*, even if it isn't, strictly speaking, necessary.

just curious... since this has been updated after ur T7 spells patch, should we be installing that as well?? or is it all packaged together now?

Only install the latest version, which also contains fixes that the patch does not have.

Wonderfull work and thanks for updating it along with the various updates and changes I know it can be very frustrating to keep up with it all.

Is this updated for all the changes in the recent patches, ie, tradeskill recipes, rare items from harvesting, etc?
