Well I fopund the problem! Last place I thought to look was my router's firewall. Turned that off and the updater worked fine.

Now to find the settings I need to allow the updater through so I can use my firewall.

The file list is served privately (and the owner does not want the location exposed) while the UI files themselves may be served from one of two different locations, one is a backup in case the first is down. Since you are not getting the version message, it tells me you are not getting the list. I wish I had more advice to offer other than making sure your firewall is turned off when you connect.

Hey Darqwood

Thanks for the reply. No I don't get any message except that it cannot connect to update server. (EQ2Map updater, Profit etc all are ok).

I don't use a proxy to connect either, so am at a bit of a loss. What's the ip or domain address for the updater, so I can try and find the problem (if you are happy to give it out of course).

Darqwood

Despach, sorry you're having trouble. Connections are succeeding, and I don't see any recent indications of service drop. Questions: 1) When you try to connect using the older version, do you get a reminder pop-up that a newer version is available before the cannot-connect message? and 2) Are you using a proxy server to get online?

Really liked your Raid and Group windows so thought I would try the "full" version.

However when running the update, I just get an error message "Cannot connect to update server". Tried with 2.3.1 and 2.3.

I've double checked it's not my firewall (turned it off). Do you have the ip address of the update server so I try see whether it is a problem with my ISP routing or the server end?

Miakodadonoma, your bags are colored based upon the name you give them. Right-click one of your containers and rename it to a color category name, then the next time you re-open the bag, it will be tinted that color. Also, make sure the checkbox for "Use Custom Bag Categories" is checked in the utility. Post back here if you're still having trouble.

Thank you for doing the legwork s1l3ntst4lk3r, this does appear to be an oversight on SOE's part and your fix is the best choice for now without retooling the threat window.

The fix is linked here for those who don't want to edit their UI file. Remember this is temporary only, and your lower level characters will be using the new remedies if you replace your threat window with this file. Also since it is not using /cureplayer, this window will not do a cure check, so every click will try to use a potion whether there is anything curable or not.

Open eq2ui_mainhud_threat

Find: cureplayer g0 truama
Replace with: use_itemvdl -351706028


Find: cureplayer g0 arcane
Replace with: use_itemvdl -1982866447


Find: cureplayer g0 noxious
Replace with: use_itemvdl -686534912


Find: cureplayer g0 elemental
Replace with: use_itemvdl 136666185

This is not best fix, but its the quickest. Only real problem with this is all your lower level toons using lower level potions will be borked. I did this fix to get me through raids for the time being.

linkmaster

Could you show me where and how to put these values please?....

linkmaster

Hmmm that's strange, all I had in my bags was T10 trauma pots , but clicking the threat cure box for trauma didn't use them...I had to use them from the hotbar.

s1l3ntst4lk3r

I sent in a bug report. Its working with all cure potions except the new ones. I will add the item numbers till fixed. I know with the new command its supposed to find and use the highest level tradeskilled potion in your inventory. So I think its something on their end.

Darqwood

s1l3ntst4lk3r and linkmaster: you don't need to change anything to use DarqUI with the new tier of remedy potions. Since potions only cure the caster, they aren't useful in the context of group/raid. However, the Player window and the DarqUI Threat/Detriment window both use the built-in cureplayer commands for self cures, which automatically check for the highest level cure potion you have in inventory. If you still want to look up the itemvdls for the new potions, they are on EQ2U, for example:

Lucifer66: it's most likely possible, although I would need to check with the DarqUI Legal Staff about whether it's a good idea to extract and provide an external player for recorded materials. Another choice might be an in-game selector that lets you test the sounds quickly while logged in. Let me see what I can come up with.



Belexes: Thanks! I've gotten some good comments from players about your coin page.

Yeah...where do we set the T10 potions up for the group and raid windows?...raiding tonight and it's an important update before then.

s1l3ntst4lk3r

Cant seem to get the new T10 cure potions to cast.
