What is your screen resolution? The utility was designed to work within 1024x768 as a minimum. If your resolution is lower than that, the main tab area might cut off some of the controls in the way you describe. I can't test this because I don't have access to any computers that will display less than 1024x768.

UI Loader

Hello again. My screen resolution is 1920 x 1080. when I click the quick setup button, ony seven character slots show up , and the bottom half of that pop up is cut off. I cant click the acknowledge or ok button to put my characters in the UI. I've tried chaging the resoultion down , but it didint do anything. windows recommended I use xp to run the program , but that didnt work either. I'll keep tryin , but hopefully someone has some ideas on this. thanks :-)

My guess is that you are using an oversize Windows font DPI scaling. Some of the application elements may be out of scale or in a strange place due to the way Windows arranges things for a nonstandard DPI. The DarqUI tabs are laid out in a very specific way to imitate parts of the game interface, so it's unlikely to be compatible with the custom font setting.

I'll see if Visual Studio has a way for me to force a certain layout to reduce the quirks you're seeing, but in the meantime you can set the screen to the standard DPI long enough to set up your characters, then switch back to your custom DPI scaling.

I'll take a look at this, although in the meantime there is a standalone copy of the ProfitUI start button that works well with DarqUI here. Unzip into your current custom UI folder, then log in to the game and type (or make a button for):

/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 Control Center and Infocenter windows are not included in the zipped file.

I tried Darqui for the first time today, and I'm a fan. However, I cannot get EQ2maps to work. It worked previously when I was using it with Drumsui. I removed Drums and installed Darqui.

I've tried placing the Eq2maps folder in Darqui's folder and in just the UI folder and not the Darq's. Neither works. It's really important that I get Eq2maps to work as I am fairly new - after only played briefly in the past - and I really don't know my way around the game yet.

Any advice would be appreciated. Ideally I want to use both Darqui and Eq2map, and I hope that I won't have to choose. Thank you.

Note: Disregard. I believe that I have it working. I had to adjust my font dpi as instructed in a post below, which allowed me to manage set-up better. When I went into the game eq2maps still did not work, so I did /loadui Darqui. I had not done that previously as I assumed the set-up screen did that without the need to /loadui. At any rate, it's working.

Glad you got them working together, although for folks who refer to this post in the future, you want to put the files from EQ2MAP into the DarqUI folder, not the EQ2MAP folder itself. The safest way to get everything working is to install DarqUI and then point the EQ2MAP updater to it.

The Settings tab in the DarqUI window utility has a "Make Default" button that will handle the eq2.ini file, although there is another file, eq2_recent.ini, that also has the name of the most recent UI you had loaded. If you don't choose DarqUI from the /loadui menu, or load it directly using the /loadui command in-game (which you did), the eq2_recent.ini file can fail to get updated and will continue to load your previous custom UI.

Missing from crafting window

There is one thing missing from the crafting window , a [X] close window button....unless I'm missing something.

I often used that to quit out of crafting when I'd just finished a final combine previously.

Linkmaster, what are you seeing in the upper-right corner of the Tradeskills window? The Close (X) button should be there in either single-pane or side-by-side view, unless you have your titlebar turned off.

I cannot seem to switch on auto attack bar ?

Hi everyone, I cannot get my ranged or melee auto attack timer bar to work.

I have ticked the box in the set up.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Haneef.

The attack timer bars appear below the threat meter when you are in combat. If you have the attack bars turned on, the threat/detrimental window is stretched to show them and you are in melee combat, then you should see the bars. There is an example of what it looks like in the composite image near the top of this page.

First I want to say how much I LOVE this UI. It's the perfect combination of looks and function. I love the tradeskill window and the browser is flat out fantastic. (Always hated my old ui's browser). The group window is inspired. I love the custom-ability as well and that's where my problem comes in. I play with 2 family members and a close friend. We share 6 accounts between us with extra characters purchased on all of our accounts. And we box each others accounts all the time. Quick setup found 40 some characters on my computer. I think I heard it whimper. Is there any way we can have more character presets or maybe an "all other characters one"?
Also an way to invite to group from the guild window would be nice. Lastly You've done an incredible job on this ui and I just want to thank you.

Hi joyCrazy, thank you for the compliments! I do have a Guild window with the invite functions in development, but I've been hesitant about maintaining a window as complex as the Guild window just for the sake of that one custom feature.

You have an exceptional number of characters on your computer, and even if I tripled the number of DarqUI character slots it would still not come close to what you are looking for. I wish it was as simple as dropping in another block of code for each extra character, but the way the interface is written, all the custom code is tailored to the specific character count.

Having said that, there may be a solution that will get you most of what you want with just a little extra effort. You could set up multiple DarqUI folders, for example DarqUI_Tom, DarqUI_Susan, DarqUI_Joe, etc., one for each account or person -- whatever makes sense for your household. You would place a separate copy of the utility program in each of the folders to configure the various characters in that folder. Once a player logs into the game, they would type /loadui DarqUI_Tom depending on who is playing.

If you want the DarqUI to load automatically as the default, you could use the "Make Default" button on the settings tab before logging in. This would take just a few seconds and would eliminate needing to type the /loadui command in-game, which I'm sure you know causes UI glitches at times.
