i just wish i could get the eq2map window acting right. i've deleted all these images so it uses defaults, deleted xmls that arent altered ... done everything i can think of. i love this UI to death, i've even made my own background for it. I tried laffs_lite but i dont like the xp bar textures. used UIBuilder to try and change it and it mauled the code.

/mourns the loss of her map window.

Lol....

This UI and none of the others I have actualy have a modded map window!

As like myself I anticipate all my users to just use the eq2 map mod... So if you got problems with your map hun its nothing to do with this UI...

Just use the map updater program and point it to PERDV8 folder and it will do the work from there.. install all the maps and the map window itself... granted the map window background will be different to the rest of the UI probably but, Hey its a map and its details are correct lol ;)

If you still having problems after doing that, gimmie a shout via pm and I try and sort it for you..... But could you please just delete the contents of your PERDV8 folder 1st ! .... then just place the latest files in the download section in there thanks.. :)

Like I say this UI is not dead its more of a shrine to the work of Perdition, Nothing will be added to it, Just the core elements that make the UI work .. Hence effects in the target windows they are a core part of any UI now so they have to be added to this UI soon to keep it maintained ;)

1440x900 resolution
 

Was this ever released in 1440x900 resolution? I use the UI on my desktop just fine in 1280x1024, but I recently purchased a new laptop that has 1440x900 resolution and I can't seem to find one that will work in that rez. If no one has requested it, I'm humbly requesting it now

Sorry but that rez is well outa my range at the moment =(

I could make the windows stretch etc but that will cause much problems elsewhere... so basicly sorry no can do :(

just a slight "bump" to this thread...

I hear there is chat box and target issues? is this still the case?

Wasnt sure how many peeps if any were still using this UI its all been very silent for a long time now..

:)

Greyed out Chat Box and Target Windows
 

I'm still having issues with the Chat windows and the target windows showing as a solid grey instead of the darker marbled color? Makes it difficult to read text.

I have screen shots of it, but unfortunately I don't know how to attach it.

Any fixes?

Thanks

I had a quick look at the mostly likely cause for this is the code and all apears to be fine...

Only other thing I can put it down to offhand is for you to make sure you have the file called "perdigraphics.dds" located in a sub folder called "images" within the PerdV8 folder itself..

Please confirm if this is the case or not thanks.

perdigraphics.dds is in the folder. Here is a screenshot for referance of the issue.

Same issue here
 

I too am getting the gray boxes as in the pix above.

I am having trouble with the map... I have tried pretty much everything but I cannot get the map to look full it cuts off on the sides and bottom.. I have no loc area that I can see when I hover over a waypoint on the map or anything... is anyone having the same problem?? or does anyone know a fix??

Dea.. I dont have a map window.. so best you delete the map window you may well have in the PERDV8 folder and let eq2 map mod re-download it if your useing that.

Try unziping and dropping those files into the PERDV8 folder guys..

Those files didn't do anything one way or the other. The effort is appreciated though.

Hmm shame they didnt do anything for you... But least I now know what versions you have so I can investigate further :p

See what I been doing is since all 3 UI's are basicly the same I been making a common settings file so to speak so all I have to do is update 1 window insted of 3 each time..

Expect a fix in the downloads section tonight soon as I get all my work done.

Good times.... Good times :cool:

Okies ... I still didnt manage to get the grey backgrounds problem... But noticed a few other things that related to the imagelist files and also a slight problem in the "z" order with somthing else... So hoping thi swill cure the problem you have as well.

Result is files changed and some removed...

So you WILL need to delete the old folder contents first !

Fixed and fixed.

Me pleased its fixed now eventhough I didnt find anything out of place that would have caused that particular problem lol /shrug

Mind I have been finding some bits of files and folders in places they shouldnt be on the drive I store the UI stuff, I put that down to 3 major crashes and XP in its wisdom piecing stuff back together best way It know how lol... So I have now replaced them all from a backup off my NAS, Hopefully thats end of it :)

I've got a problem with the latest version... the group box is not showing health of mana for any group members.. makes it hard to work out who i need to heal

I noticed this myself last night, makes life a little tough.

Okies I know what the problem is and dont have time to fix it right now .. sorry

Use this one from Laffs Lite for now cant see why that wont work.. It will fit in the same place but is smaller thats all .. untill I can get round to fixing this :(

Okies its back in the download section.. so is the Laffs version..

Once again you need to delete all the old folder contents before replacing it with the new.

Found in issue Laffs - seems that in a full group the last person's health doesn't show.

Sorry missed updating 2 styles .. here it is :)

Sorry guys I may come across as a bit of a major slacker with updating the UI's and getting stuff right 1st time :rolleyes:

But I am self employed and have lots to do and my brain has to work overtime with real work and updateing a few sales sites that I am admin of, and I kinnda miss stuff if you with me lol...

If the time ever comes that I am on the UI's 100% then it means I have no work, and thats good for you lot but very bad for me lol

I do my best guys :)

Thanks for your hard work.
 

This is a great UI. It has everything I need.

One thing I have not found the ability to change and really bugs me is somehow I am set so that I don't see any names over anybody's head. I have looked in the options and set it to display names and function as well as display my name all the time but nothing shows up.

I am sure I am doing something silly and I would greatly appreciate somebody telling me how to change this option so I can see names over toons heads. This would make wandering around a city looking for a merchant much easier.

Little bug
 

For some reason my grp window is now working with the ver 2 DL, except my 6 member, name shows but no health and mana. what to do to fix?

Ah found the problem .. Doh.

The npc names is the only mod I have done to the respective file.. and the change was only to get the size of the text smaller than default... A different file ended up getting placed in the zip file insted, That had referances to other fonts I was messing with..

Heres the proper version, just drop that in the PERDV8 folder and overwrite the old one..

Same for the group window... I missed out the new reference to the correct progress bars on the last groupmember..

Thank you !!
 

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond and fix the issues !!

Samll issue
 

It seams when I minimized the screen, I lost my power bar, also the window that displays your location, and contains your bags and ammo slot. Besides that issue, this is the bar far best, cleanest UI that I have seen ! I am so glad I stumbled apon it. I just love the way everything is envoleped into one area, and all tie intogether. very sharp !! Gratz on an awesome job !!

P.S. looking forward to heading about a fix for this issue.

Scroll up a few pages in this thread and you will see the solution to the issue... sorry i dont have time to type it out again right now.. but if you dont find it i will and repost..

oh and thanks

LOL scroll up a few pages.. it was on page three !!! thats alot of pages, but i did find the fix for the power bar, .. the other window I can not find a fix for though. it is the window that contains your location/discovery and the bags. thanks again

Show_window MainHUD.Inventory

Try that... that was off the top of my head.. Its been along time since I used this UI I just try my best to keep it updated.. Have a look in the Laffs alt bottom TyeJae as the the 2 UI's basicly work the same way now.. thats probably where I posted the instructions again lol... I have been working on merging the 3 UI's into one common structure (and nearly there on doing so) but some old problems like this tend to pop up now and again and its a real pita :p

[quote=Laffs]Show_window MainHUD.Inventory

Try that... that was off the top of my head..



nope, that was not it, and I have not been succusful with it at all. Hope there is something that can be done with this.. thanks again for your time

show_window MainHUD.Inventory

Thats how it should have been no capital "S" doh!

Anyway that window is linked to the "clock" window so show and hide the clock twice and the other window will pop up again with it.

Well another LU rolls in and of course the usual UI crashes :(

Ok, my main crash seems to be related to the journal, when i try and open it the game crashes to desktop on me.. also included in that is when i get a quest or get an update from an npc.

Bank use is ok, so it the knowledge book.. general play isn't effected (went to valdoons and OoB without any crashes)

Will post any more problems as they crash eq2

Now is it the quest Journal itself thats causing the crash or the quest helper? as they are 2 seperate windows (as you may well know) I dont include a modded Journal of my own, reason being there are some good ones out there that are compatable with my mods, seems silly me spending hours on somthing that is going to look the same as the others lol

Anyways would appriciate it if you could post crashes/bugs as you find them as you said thanks for that :)

The quest helper is displayed ok, it's whenever i try and open the journal it instantly drops be back to desktop..

I tried a quest in loping plains, talk to another npc, when i finished the talk tree that caused a crash too, i'm assuming that part updated the quest stage.. I've getting a new quest, the game crashed when i clicked accept on the quest window..

I think the problem might be a corrupted ui settings file, i logged into an alt i've not used for 6+ months and i was able to view the journal without a crash.. So I'll use the settings file from the ui archive and see if that fixes my problem. (at work atm so when i get back)

Me again :)

Done some more digging, it seems the crash on quest updates is not a custom ui problem.. it's happening to people using the default ui too

Bug report = When in grp with 6 members, the last members health and power do not show up, name is there, and when targeted, you can see hlth/pwr in targetr window, but not in grp window. also xp bar at the top of the screen will not switch to aa xp. (thins not a big issue) I also had a small problem with the pet window now showing up after zoning. any ideas on these issues?
