Many thanks for such a speedy response!

Without even looking I can tell you this is true. Broker logs got moved out of the chat logs module which uses Unix time, but I forgot to do anything about non-US locales. Please watch your private messages on this website; I'll send you an updated app to test as soon as I can get back to my dev machine. Thank you for the heads-up.

Hi,

I get an exception thrown when selecting 'Load broker logs.' I'm assuming that it's locale related: the logs seem to be using dates in US format (mm/dd/yyyy) and my PC is set to using them in UK English format (dd/mm/yyyy).

I think the solution should be something along the following lines, assuming the uitility is written in VB as suggested by the stack trace:

************** Exception Text **************

I had no idea that page existed. Thanks for the response

If you are using the floating XP Nav bar there will be an icon down near the right end as shown in the first image below. It looks like a wizard spire on a blue background. If you don't use the Nav bar, you can still add the icon to the main XP Command bar as shown in the second image. Or you can use one of the three custom icon slots on the Start menu to add the Transport icon.

By the way, these images come from the update notes on the DarqUI Portal front page. When players have a few minutes I recommend scanning through the past updates on this page. I'll bet most DarqUI users have missed one or two new features along the way.

I can't seem to find the transport window you mention in the post on Oct 19. Is there a command to show it? I'm running 3116.

Showing the window on login is trickier than it may seem, but you can turn on shiny tracking by default fairly easily. In Notepad, search for the only instance of Name="TogShiny" then add the following on the same line:


...Location="13,40" Name="TogShiny" Activated="true" Checked="true" OnHoverIn=...

Love this window. Is it possible to have the window always open to save opening it every time I start EQ2. Also can the option to harvest shinnies be set to on permanently.

Darqwood

You can monitor the Berserk Rage buff but not the Berserk spell that appears temporarily in Spell Effects during combat. Only spells that appear in the Maintained Spells window can be monitored.

The browserexternal command will work within the UI for URLs that do not contain spaces, but the vast majority of links to quests, collections, etc., contain spaces. So there is no way that I have found to reliably link externally to Wikia (fandom). There was a short discussion about this a couple of weeks ago, and unfortunately no one seems to have come up with a solution thus far.

Is it possible to try to send wiki-links to system browser?

Been trying to get the monitor to track the berserk buff that berserkers gets, but so far I have had no luck.

is it not possible to track this buff?

Atashia

Yeah I do also.. I just had hoped for a in game version.. It's all good..

Atashia

Thanks I'll stop clicking for now.. All the other links work great tho.. I just WIki wouldn't have messed things up haha .

EverQuest II Wikia pages are now being redirected to a different domain. If you open up a quest URL in an external browser you will see a banner at the top explaining this. The change has moved the site to HTTPS which is a good thing. But unfortunately in-game page layout went from bad to worse -- now nothing displays at all, as you experienced.

The internal browser has not changed from when the Wikia site long ago displayed everything properly. Sadly the Wikia site has evolved and contains more invasive ad scripts and other miscellany that the aging EQII browser cannot digest.

I tried changing the UI links to go directly to the new domain, but nothing is displaying correctly in-game. This is something that none of us has any control over at this point. If the final result is that Wikia no longer works, I'll do something else with the in-game links.
