If you used the latest standalone InfoCenter upload I made + Lodrelhai's latest files, attached here are updates thereto that are currently only on the ProfitUI Updater.
Credits for the list of status furniture go to psychogonk. The second file is the T8 harvest information which had a typo. |
Thanks for letting me use this in ProfitUI, it is now part of my release. I just wanted to mention that I ironed out a couple of quirks when implementing it. It was late when I did it but this is what I remember doing:

Thanks, and cheers.
1. Oops. 2. I figured that it would be easier to avoid some confusion by sticking all the files in a different starter directory. I know that it makes it a bit strange with the name, but I wasn't sure what else to call it at the time. Some are not always great with uninstall instructions, though there really wouldn't be any conflicts considering a lot of the files I renamed slightly. 3. I realized I forgot the T8 writ buttons, yes, but I didn't add them at the time considering, as you said, they were gonna be empty anyhow. 4. Either way, I figured works fine for that. I'll probably switch it to select the index as well. :) |

Can I pitch in feedback here, or should I delete this and send it as a PM?
Anyway, I've no idea if you can, but if you can put a search function somewhere in the info center? I've been using it a good bit to brush back up on stuff I should already know, because I recently started playing again and have forgotten most everything. In using it, that's the thing that I wish was there most often. Anyway, other than that, it's just exactly what I need, so thank you for putting it back out there. |
Hmm...I really want to use this mod, but whenever I open it I get nothing but a big black box. The only other mods I am using are EQ2MAP, EQ2MAP POI Finder, DrumsUI Horizontal Journal, and this mod. I have my DrumsUI folder inside my EQ2MAP folder which is my customUI directory. My eq2ui_custom.xml reads as folows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Page IgnoreTab="false" ismodule="true" Name="Custom" PackSize="1,1" PackSizeProp="0002/0003,0002/0003" ScrollExtent="1024,768" Size="1024,768" Visible="false"> <include>eq2ui_custom_poifinder.xml</include> <include>eq2ui_custom_infocenter.xml</include> </Page> Any ideas? |

It appears you have everything in the right place. I also use the POI Finder. I suggest making sure that eq2ui_custom_infocenter.xml is in your customUI folder (EQ2MAP in your case) and maybe try unzipping the files from the zip again into the directory. Will be releasing an update soon which will change the DrumsUI folder to just be the InfoCenter folder. Maybe this will fix any problems or confusion that may occur. |

I have checked all threads and must be missing something??? Please help... Could you post a screenshot possibly in the support topic, and maybe list some of the other mods you're using, and double check that you have all the files in the right folders. Here is the list of mods I use... Thanx again for the help...

you probably still have the <include> for the old infocenter in your journals.xml.
|
thankee
Tasi's Journal UI should have taken care of that tho I would think... Looked and doesnt look like it??? even downloaded the old Milquetowst Info Center and I dont see anything that would have remained... got to be something small that I am overlooking... bah
|
No, it wouldn't. I'm talking about eq2ui_journals.xml - if you have it, you shouldn't, so remove it. Might be something else of course with that mix of mods but from your screens it's likely that is the reason.
|
crosshairs
I pulled it out and again nothing... I did check the default ui folder and there is a journals in it. I looked at both and there is no difference between the two(the default and my custom ui folder). what should I check next??? thanx for the patience, as I am a newbie when it comes to programing...
|
try this
it sound to me like you have a graphcs componant in the wrong spot - Drums folder set up is a bit unique and can mess you up if you dont keep the folder structure the way he intended.
I'd remove drums infocenter and re-install it from scratch, paying particular attention to the location of anything that needs to go into the image folder. hope that helps. |
As far as my InfoCenter goes, I don't have any custom graphics. It's simply the eq2ui_custom.xml and the eq2ui_custom_infocenter.xml in the CustomUI folder. Then there's the DrumsUI folder which has the InfoCenter folder inside that. In that folder there are several files and subfolders which are xml files for each tab, and text files for each one.
There being an extra black window showing up is strange. You say it shows up when you open the InfoCenter AND when you try to access your start menu? How exactly/when does it pop up and how do you get it to go away? Also, does the InfoCenter work for you afterwards, at all? It definitely sounds like something is conflicting. I thought gm9 had the right guess, but guess not... hmmmm I'm sorry I can't test stuff out in-game right now. In-between jobs and my subscription ran out for this month. It will be a couple days or so before I can get back up and running. I'm on a tight budget! |
The Black Box
Hey bro.... It works and I have a way around what it does sooo.... ITS ALL GOOD!!! You have done great work and I give you much kudos for it! I am greatful for it. Wish I knew how to do some of the programing as I would love to create for all. thanx again bro and I hope your situation gets better soon.... thanx again for your help and for GM9's as well.
|
Good to hear. What was the problem in case anyone else experiences the same issue? Thanks!
|
no change, just moved it to bottom of screen. when I push the start button for info, the black box pops up. I have to right click and use the close option to get it to clear away.
|
Welp, very strange. Hopefully you stumble upon the cause of the black box coming up. Otherwise, glad you have a workaround for now.
|
I am having the same problem and cannot fix it. I use tasi's journal UI and a few others have you found any fixes yet? When I go into the start button and click infocenter I get a big black box which i can move around and all and close but nothing in it....
Ok well what i did was go into my EQ2ui_custom file and add the <include>infocenter or w/e it is <include> and now it opens with EQ2 and cannot be closed so I moved it to the lower right side of my screen for now until it can be fixed if u guys have any ideas. Also if I go into the start menu and try to open i still get the box lol but the one that opens with EQ2 works fine |
Did you have a previous version of the Info Center installed?
Do you have a eq2ui_journals.xml file in your UI folder? |
No
Yes isnt journals needed? just removed jounarls and nothing |
