Hello, Darq your UI is absolutely perfect ... i will never use another! The update feature and addons are great.

Still i got a few Problems:

1. When using the quick Button to look a Quest up on ZAM the Game crashes, this is not with EQ2i

2. A minimize Button for the Browser Window would be great

3. i can not see any target ring at the moment ... however

My best wishes to you, you are doing a great Job!!!

Sweet...thanks

Linkmaster, the spellcast monitor is an add-on to the Tagging window, so you can get there by right-clicking your target or implied target and choosing "Tag" from the pop-up menu, or by keyboard using Ctrl+Shift+T (the default), or assign your own key combination from Options > Controls > Window Keys > Tag Target Window. Or on a macro button with /show_window MainHUD.TargetTag.

Might be a daft question , but how do I bring up the NPC spell cast monitor window?

Darqwood

Purgpow, yes you can do text + sound on one alert, although I'm still working on an elegant way to do it in-game. There will be an easier way to do this in a future update, but for now here's what you can do.

In the utility, type [CR] to put two separate commands on one line, like this:






If you view the window in the code editor, it looks like this:






This will work fine in the game, and in fact you can go into the options panel and edit the alerts while you are playing, just make sure you dont delete the "invisible" line break between the two commands. When you reload the settings in the utility, you will need to remember to put the [CR] back in -- because of the way the XML reader pulls in text, it strips out the line feeds and changes them to spaces which is a Microsoft thing that I can't get around.

Are you sure the UI is not loading? The only way to get the errorlog messages about the DarqUI include files is for the game to load the windows that ask for them.

I'm a total EQII newb (except for a couple month stint several years ago...) so it's more than likely I'm doing something wrong. But I can't get your UI to load for me at all. I followed along with your YouTube video.

Here's info taken from my ui.log:
Here is my EQ2.ini file that I created:
Here's a snapshot of my UI directory:


I also tried the /loadui command from within the game but my Draq folder does not show up as an option.

Any suggestions for me? I think what I'll do now is try a different UI package to see if that makes a difference.

Thank you!

Purgpow

Is there a way to get a Sound and a /raid text post on the same spell that being cast?

thanks

LittleMagica, I dug out a tradeskill mod that I had started a while back and placed it on the update server this morning. It's a very simple side-by-side version of the default crafting window -- nothing funky, but I believe it will do what you need it to do.

It's keyboard-aware, meaning you can use Enter and Esc to start/stop a selected combine. There is a dropdown list of "favorites" that you can use to get ready for your next writ combine while you are finishing the first, and a couple of safeguards that will help prevent accidentally bugging out the window (which is easy to do with tradeskill windows that are modified in this way.) Give it a try and see if it will do.

The Exp percent would be very nice
The Numbers are not so comfortable because it is only one number...ant see what i have and need...maybe im a little stupid...smile

how can i include the crafting window from profit? it was not right with only the tradeskill xml and include it in a custom.xml...cant see any graphics and text

Darqwood

The countdown timer on the clock was added primarily to predict the recasting of certain NPC spells on raids, to counter them more efficiently. It's somewhat obsolete since the new spell listener was developed, but it may still be useful as a general purpose timer.

There are tooltips on the XP bars that have the text/numeric description, is this what you are wanting to show on the progress bar?

LittleMagica

Is it possible to dispay on the Exp Bar a Text with Current Exp in Letters and Procent? Taht would be very nice

and i dont have unterstand what the Timer is on the Clock...mhh

But the UI is very nice....only the xcraftwindow will i switch back to the one from Profit...hope i can make it

With apologies to Silat and gm9, I have linked the files you need to get the Start button operational outside of the ProfitUI folder. They don't look as nice as the originals, but they should work. Unzip and drop the files into your custom UI folder. Log in to the game and type:

/show_window MainHUD.StartButton

If you already have an eq2ui_custom.xml, add the three <include> lines into it, otherwise use the entire file as-is. The four video profiles should already be in your main EQII folder since you have ProfitUI. The only thing I didn't include was the Control Center and Infocenter windows. I'll leave those to you.


Start button files

The start button was officially combined into the experience window (eq2ui_mainhud_experience.xml) a while back, so the ProfitUI version of the XML file you mentioned would need to be included in your custom window list (eq2ui_custom.xml). Give that a try and see if you can get it to show up.

Edit: I just took a closer look, and you would also need to add the ProfitUI video and audio control windows as separate lines into your custom window file. I'm pretty sure you can get this to work the way you want, although I'm at work so I can't test it to make sure.

I recently went from profit to Darqui for most of the windows...

One thing I do want to do however is use profits Start Menu button with all it's video/sound control shortcuts and the button that brightens the screen on click.


I tried replacing eq2ui_mainhud_startbutton.xml with the one from my backup of the original profit UI , but it still loads the DarqUI one every time...

Firstly is this possible and if so...how would I do it?
