Not a problem, Firefae. A basic tutorial is linked here:

Gear Buff Macros

Feel free to post again if you have any more questions.

I need a little more 'dummies' help with this new Gear buff icon plz.
I have the item ID but cannot change the icon (rather don't know how)

it's been said 'use the utility to get ID and change the icon'
I guess this is where I am lost, not sure how exactly to use the utility apparently. I ran set up on my character
Is there something else I am missing.

my apologies, guess I am missing a big step here from the start

Got it - many thanks

If you use the utility to look up a piece of gear by name, it will place the icon automatically. If you are using the in-game window manager to choose icons manually, the rectangle has the form of left,top,right,bottom and will always align to a multiple of 42. So for example the first icon would be

0,0,42,42

And the last one would be 210,210,252,252


Across and down, the starting coords for icons would be


Does that help?

I got the same error, not sure why.

Yep. That was it. EQ2Map and had to enlarge the window a bit further to see the orangy arrow. Thanks for the reply Darq!

2) Awesome thanks
3) ill keep my eyes open of course! And agree, just mostly wanna reduce the size some ... from the backdrop itself, the fact the backdrop is there should be a firm indicator that its not a normal hotbar i would think ?
4) Ill try that and see if that works.
5) running into the crashing issue as others have mentioned when selecting icons, blank, non blanks etc doesnt matter. Beyond that ! that would work for what im looking for didnt even think about that to be honest.

Hi,

how can I change the Gear Buff icons?
If I find the right dds image in /images/icons/ - how do I find out the right location of the icon?

Best regards,

1) Default lightning bolt.
2) the popup window is fully populated with icons, and I can select between alt advancement, items, map, macro etc.
3) Interestingly, the More Icons from the Icon Bar works. I can select any icon without the crash.

Also, to add, my Windows version is build 15063 and the installed .Net is 4.7 (460798 according to the registry).

1) What icon was in the box before clicking it -- blank, default lightning bolt, or the icon from a lookup? 2) Do you get a pop-up window with blank icons before getting the error? 3) Switch to the Icon Bar setup page. What happens when you click More icons?

Running the new gear buff setup on Win10, as administrator, EQ not loaded, and getting an Unhandled Exception "Index was outside the bounds of the array" whenever I select an icon for the macros.The Exception text is
.Net 4 is installed as part of the OS.

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate the feedback. 1) Census lookups for names with quotation marks have been fixed for the next utility version.

2) Controls can be added to change the order of tiles and import from another character, and leave misspellings in the input box.

3) I'll look at reducing the width of the tiles, although I want to make sure the window doesn't look too much like a standard hotbar. In fact check your messages in the next day or so, if you don't mind. I will have some things for you to try.

4) Not sure about monitoring Maintained spells on a per-item basis. If you don't want to monitor a buff, you would leave the spell name blank on that tile, no?

5) On the above question, you can check the box for "display this tile" even though there is nothing specified, would this answer it? If you don't want the default lightning bolt there are plenty of blank icons in the libraries to choose from.

If you are using DarqUI by itself you are using the default map, and there is a gold wing icon in the upper left-hand corner. If you are using EQ2MAP the icon was moved to the upper right, and you may need to stretch the window to see it.

Last update notes from daybreak: "Fast Travel has been made free for members on all non-timelocked servers."


Question: How do we use this feature with DarqUI installed? I don't see any options on the map window, etc.
