Hey quib.. Is there anyway to lock the Ammo window so that it doesn't default to upper right hand corner everytime i log?? Other than that i love this mod.. Great work!!!! and thanks

Chaksis

how can be the calculator acurate if it doesn't take the base dmg of a weapon into calculation? further more it doesn't calc your skill of the weapon art in it, just trying to understand how close to the real dps it is

Looks very interesting but confusing right now.

What does the 94 and the numbers at the bottom of the screenshot mean?
I hope these values get updated for each fight.
Can you also remove all the fancy background and border? Thanks.

Quib

Well, what is it you want to tack onto another window? The calculator or the ammo slot? Either would be possible to move. The calculator you could probably just copy the QM_DPS_Calculator page object from the player window to another window and set it's Visible property to true and remove the Hide DPS Calculator button.

You are right, if we can find little tricks to get around some of the limitations, fantastic. I just didn't like being dismissed quickly, although often I switch back to text editors for any code work I do, I like using builders (like the UI builder) makes things easier some times. Especially since I wanted to steal the ammo icon code In the past when making my own website and stuff I often went to www.w3.org to validate my CSS and HTML files. Its good to use standards.

Whats happening in this XML ofcourse is that there are two windows being displayed and since its all wrapped in one XML file when you tell the window to display both display at the same time. I'm not convinced that just because Eq2 seems to be okay with this that we should use this method, but at the same time I think its pretty neat.

Quib

EQ2 hardly uses a proper xml format. This file works in-game and I have personally seen it function on 5 very different computers. Whether IE, an XML validator, etc. think it's valid or not doesn't matter. It does work in EQ2 which is all that matters.

Not spoken in anger, just stating fact. It stinks that UI builder can't load it; clearly its XML parsing isn't as robust and flexible as EQ2's.

Yeah, evil M$... whatever...

Invalid XML.

Killarny

Internet Explorer is hardly the program that you should be using to guage the validity of ANY code whatsoever. Anyone who does cross-platform XHTML/CSS knows that IE is the least compliant browser in existence :P

sunthas

It is an invalid XML file according to programs that read XML like Internet Explorer

Quib

I made this all in notepad, and it works properly in-game. I don't design anything I work with to be UIBuilder compliant. It's a wonder the map window is.

its the ammo indicator at the top of the file creating two main file pages.

tonyis3l33t

thats usually because there is an extra </page> in there

sunthas

When I try to open this with the UI Builder: Error: File contains more than one root level object.

File wont even open in a standard web browswer, perhaps my version is corrupt?

Only one top level element is allowed in an XML document. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/myusername/Desktop/quibs_playerwindow/eq2ui_mainhud_player.xml'. Line 7, Position 2

/edit I redownloaded the file. Same error.
