Fabulous UI, been using it for many months now. I want to especially say thank you for your great UI button editor...I hear people complain all the time about how hard it is for them to change the raid/group buttons in profit, and I tell them all they need to get a better UI...like Drums, for instance :).

Regarding the GU updates...first, again thanks and wow for being so quick with it. I am noticing that the crafting window seems to have dropped one of the counter buttons...I'm only seeing 5 instead of 6. The last progress button seems to have wandered off :).

Lastly, is there an easy way to check out the new default red ui color? It's not a big deal to me, so if it's embedded in all your windows and difficult to offer as an option or something, no worries. Just thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

Hey all, thanks for the feed back! I have a couple fixes on the way which will be released tonight.

If you would like to see what the UI looks like in the red color it is very, very easy to switch.
Go into your UI/DrumsUI/images/ folder and delete the following image files:

buttons_master.dds
commonelements.dds
specialelements.dds
widgets03.dds
window_elements_generic.dds
window_elements_specific.dds
windowelements.dds

I love this UI & want to thank you for keeping it up to date. With GU #57 there's a reaction button missing from the tradeskill window. Can you fix this please?

Yeah, I think some icon changes or something made the element pass the 6th icon into a 2nd invisible row. Should be a quick fix, and if it is, will have it fixed tonight.

Thanks for the quick update. Bugs I noticed:

-Rally flag/members online floating mid-guild window as mentioned above.
-Crafting window button disappearing, as mentioned above.
-If any of my bag rows aren't full rows, the extra space that used to be blank now has a black background to 'fill out' the extra rows/columns. Changing background settings in window settings doesn't fix this.

Thanks again, big hugs and and lots of cookies to you for the amazing UI.

I just checked this in game, and adjusting the Windows Setting for Backdrop opacity seems to be working just fine.

Could you double check this problem and post a screenie if it's still not working right for you?

Cheers. The other problems you mentioned are being fixed here soon :)

eq2ui_popup_add_poi.xml

This file needs to be up-to-date from DrumsUI to edit your cast/cure buttons.

/show_window MainHUD.StartButton

I'd recommend using the individual downloads for those windows then from their respective download pages.

Just went in game to double check and it seems to be working fine, probably human error on my part. The only gripe I have is that the new minimap minimum size is too big, but that's personal preference b/c I play on a laptop with small screen, and for all I know that may be something SOE put in that can't be changed. Thanks again.

Cool. I'm not sure how to go about modifying the mini maps minimum size. I too dislike the new minimum size.

i have pretty much always prefered default except for c2c windows... but i really really like this ui...... i have had an issue tho... when i log out and log back in or swap toons the ui windows change.... i shrink own the xp bars and they go back to full lenght when i relog..... i also use the widescreen mode and put the status bar across the top.. when i relog the bar falls behind the widescreen border.

Try locking your XP bar in place after getting it in the desired location. I'm not sure why it would be moving after each session. Also, try to keep it away from very, very top or bottom of the screen.
As for the Stat bar falling underneath the widescreen windows, that seems very odd. I'll look into it, but not sure there's anything I can do.

Cheers.

I looked at the files and the correct maintained (right-side-icons) was pushed live. If youre using the Updater try change your options back to default and reselecting the right-sided choice to perhaps redownload the file.

If you're using the manual install, try re-extracting the file from the new zip.

yeah i lock windows when i get them to desired location/size..

Some have suggested right clicking the window and hitting the "Minimize" option (no visual change will occur) and then re-moving the bar to the desired location. Try zoning once to force a save for the window location and see if that helps.

New release: Version 1.13

Update Log:
v1.13 - 2010.08.19
- New: Included new graphic file that slightly modifies the "queued spell" pulse to be more visible. Rounded icon borders are untouched.
- Update: Inspect player "show appearance" button now matches the inventory. Also slight tweaks to element sizing/spacing
- Update: Persona window's border changed to be round on to the top as well (to match and keep consistency). Also the tabs at the bottom take up 5 pixels less space.
- Update: New casting bar is now 4-pixels smaller vertically.
- Fix: Tradeskill window now properly displays 6 buttons (update caused only 5 to show during crafting)
- Fix: Tradeskill window will now bypass the "Prepare" page ONLY when hitting the repeat button. This is the cleanest method to allow comissioned crafting to work and allow repeating to be more fluid.
- Fix: Rally Flag and Online texts in the guild window are now properply aligning to the bottom of the window.
- Fix: Fixed a few spacing anomolies on windows with tabs that weren't caught the first time

Before updating, save your /POI/drumsui_textsettings.xml to backup your Quick Button settings!
(If you had any saved from 1.12 or previous)

Be sure to check out the DrumsUI Updater. The updater automatically ignores the drumsui_textsettings.xml file if you already have it, so you don't have to worry about overwriting important saved buttons :)

if i inspect someone (or myself) hitting the appearance button didnt do anything and if you hit it again (so 3 times) you switch to bio tab.

fix pls

using 1.13 version

can you please revert the icons back to not have round corners or put a variant selection into updater pls. i dislike this change and was happy it didnt change before i updated to 1.13 :/

greetings n1md4

PS: youre doing a really fantastic work Drumstix!

PSS: ill try to redownload the maintained file with updater

Problem with Group Window Click Cast Buttons
 

Hello,

Tried you UI out with Patch 57 to see how it works. I especially liked the "Click Cast/Cures" configurability. It's installed and updated to the latest version using the Updater: "v1.13 - 2010.08.19". I can't seem to see the Quick Cast buttons in the group window. In fact, the group window I see looks just like the old stock EQ2 group window, with large "con" windows for each group member. I see the Click Cures buttons below the group member window for that player (they're dim, I can mouse over them and it shows the cure configured). But I don't see any Quick Cast buttons at all.

Here's what I see:



Is there a special DrumsUI Group window that I need to configure to replace the stock one?

Regards,

Conor

The quick cast buttons show when you mouse over the group member. Currently there is a bug in which the buttons won't appear when you are not in a group.

I'll be fixing this ASAP.

RE: Problem with Group Window Click Cast Buttons
 

Thanks for the reply!

I saw the Quick Cast buttons appear when I joined a group. However, they appear on top of the health/power bars for the character and not to the right side. I tried playing with the window a bit and got them momentarily to appear on the right side but then they snapped back on top of the health/power bar again. They also have no numbers in them (just empty boxes) - I can mouse over them and it shows what's programmed.

Regards,

Conor

The cast buttons are set to show over the hp/power bars. The numbers should be showing though.
I've never heard of them not appearing for anyone before.

Are you using other UI pieces?

crafting hotkeys only work if you use mouse first
 

When I am crafting, I cannot just hit 1-6 to use craft skills.

First I must click one of the skill buttons with the mouse, then after that I can use 1-6.

Clicking the window does not give keyboard focus for some reason, it must be one of the actual skill buttons.

This is a game limitation. If you hide the recipe list, you normally won't have to use the mouse first.

Nope, it's a clean install. I'm also a Fetish user but I switched to the entire DrumsUI set. I'll try to capture a screenshot.

Regards,

Conor

Quick Cast Buttons
 

Looks like the numbers are showing now, not sure why they weren't before. I changed rendering options to use the 3.0 shaders, that might have been what fixed it. Likely a rendering anomaly due to my local machine.

Thanks!

Conor
