Fazio: to remove chat text for Curse cures that you cast, go to Group >> Priest >> Raid Chat in the utility. If you want the announcement to show up in Group chat, move the text over to the Group Chat cell. To remove chat text for Curses that are cast on you, Hushed has it right: go to Detriment Alerts >> Channel in the Threat window. (This can also be permanently un-set in the utility on the Threat tab.)



Hushed: using /loadui has the possible side-effect of causing you to crash the next time you zone or camp. Unfortunately this can happen even when doing a /loadui Default. Your best bet is to set the custom UI to be your default so you don't have to use the command in-game. In the utility on the Settings tab, click "Make Default" and follow the prompts. This will set up your eq2.ini file. You can also use Notepad to open eq2_recent.ini from the main EQII folder, and check to see if your custom UI appears like this:

cl_ui_skinname DarqUI

This should get DarqUI to load when you log in, which should stop the zone/camp crashes. Post again if it's still giving you trouble.

Yes I know how to turn off or on, its just that it is only raid say which is nor=t very helpful when in a group

I think you want to look at the Threat Window:

When I use the cure curse when am I am in a group I keep on getting the message in chat that I am not in a Raid. Can I change this. I have looked but cant find it.

Hushed

I a newb to this UI, but not to UIs in general. I am having two issues, one, I CTD when I attempt to camp out. I get this whether I have the full UI installed, or only a partial. Any suggestions here? I am using the /camp command to log out. When I come back in, I must /loadui and select the interface again.

***Update, I accidentally hit the Exit button while zoning, logged back in, and the UI was still default!


The other issues, is my spells, Photosynthesis III works fine in the spell monitor, but Nature's Embrace III and Sylvan Bloom IV don't. I see when I cast these, Photosynthesis shows up in my Maintained window, but the other two do not. Is that why? If so, is there another way I can know when these are ticking off my tank?

Thanks!

Steps done:

Toggled international compatibility changed on thing on the Spellmonitor Tab and saved it. Turned compatibility back on, quit the setup tool and entered the game.

Behaviour same as before.

Copy and pasted the spell names again from Logfile to xml, entered the game, now the spells with "ß" were monitored but couldn't be reapplied.

The errormesssge was "There is no spell with this name" regarding the spell "Buße VIII"

Opened the configuration tool, changed one spell, saved, again spells with Umlauts not working.

After getting the Monitoring to show the spells, the names in the Monitor changed from "Bu[][]e VIII" to "Bu[]e VIII" (no brackets but these carriage return rectangle).

I think there may be some kind of problem regarding the german internal translation of the game client itself. A pity I can't switch to english when playing on a german server. =(

But thank you for your awesome work nonetheless.

I'll try some other things a little bit later.

Try one more thing: on the Settings tab of the utility, un-check the international compatibility setting and then save only the spell monitor from the Save window. Then re-check the international compatibility setting and close the utility. Take a quick look at the umlauts in the spell monitor file, make sure they still look like the correct characters. If not, redo the copy-paste from the log. Log in and see if the spells are recognized. If it's still no good, zip and send your eq2ui_mainhud_betamark.xml file to darqwood at hotmail dot com.

The Beastlord Character Window as well as Channeler are working perfect now.

I tried the copy and paste you mentioned using Notepad++, but it isn't working. They show up as Monitored but stay greyed out. Below Spell1 is working, Spell2 and 3 aren't.

Example:
From the Chatlog:

These are casts form an Inquisitor.

I'll try tonight and let you know.

Spell monitor umlauts: There is a little extra work to get spells with umlauts to show up in the spell monitor, but it can be done. Make sure your logs are turned on, then open your spellbook and drag-drop the spell into your chat window so it will go into the log. Copy the spell name, roman numeral and any extra spaces directly from the log into your spell monitor file (eq2ui_mainhud_betamark.xml). Notepad is not the best choice for this operation -- I use WinVI or you might use Notepad++. The umlauts show up as odd characters (see image) but they do work.


Beastlord issue: Re-download the Character window from the updater and see if it works better now.

Hi,

I love this UI but I encountered some "bugs"

Character Window:

When logging onto a Beastlord the Menu on the left goes wonky at about halfway down. The Buttons are not aligned with their to open tabs.

This happens on 24" 1920x1080 or 1280x1024 19" display in window mode.

The other thing, the spellmonitor can't use umlauts or for example german spells that have äöüß in them. It works like a charm when no umlauts are used.

Any tips?


Cheers and Thank you for your awesome work

Not worth the effort I will just put it somewhere else. Thanks

The voice bar snapping to the bottom of the chat window is done internally, and I don't know of a setting that will change the behavior. Reworking the chat window to remove the titlebar would reduce the gap if you want it to sit closer to the top (turning off the titlebar in Window Settings won't work.)

Checked, tested and replied

Just a quick question. Is todays update where they're adding the ability to invite to group to the guild window context menu going to impact the UI or do you not know yet? I use the button you provide on the guild window all the time but I have to admit having that function built into the default will be nice as well.

ETA: Nevermind I should have waited for the patch and tested it myself. The new features work by right clicking on the character and your buttons still work as normal.

Hi
I like to have the voice emote bar above the chat box but when I move it there it automatically jumps down to the bottom and actually disappears unless I move the chat box up about 1cm. Is there any way to keep this bar at the top?
