1. The coins icons do use a different source...
2. I got a fixed version of that
3. That had to be that way to get the casting bar to show up, If you make your own "truely" custom window then you got to use one of SoE's window's to get your own to show up or keep typing in show_window etc everytime you log in.
4. Buff bar has been a pain from day one.. At least now its on a volume page as requested so I can fix this problem on this UI now, Just havent gotton round to it as yet affter being swamped out with all the major new changes.

I will be loading up and playing all 3 UI's today to make a list of whats still broken and hopefully get round to making some corrections..

Also thanks for all the praise.

Target Window
 

Great UI....I have been using it for a long time now.

I am having one problem I was hoping someone could assist me with.

I play a conjuror and I like to resize my target window so I can see my pets health and my stats. The window stays resized until I target someone or something, then it seems to go back to its default state.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Sombody else had this problem quite awhile ago... Have you looked through all of this thread to see if I did post patch for it? I am sure I did.... If there not one here then I will do another, Let me know :)

Just some quick feeback on yesterday's update.

1. The buff window does indeed wrap properly now. Thanks!
2. The Community Window works as advertised.
3. Coin icons are fixed on player-to-player trade window, but I noticed they remained broken when I had the market window open in my house, and also when selling to an NPC merchant.
4. My wife pointed out that she had a problem with the customer service (/petition window) but I did not get a chance to confirm it. Something about the text when it forces the user to search the knowledgebase before opening a ticket being too dark to see. Again, not confirmed.

My personal bug list is down to basically the cosmetic coin icon issue. Otherwise, the UI works flawlessly for me...Thanks so much!

The buff window fits well now. I´ve only got the problem that I can´t open the context-menu by right-clicking. It´s annoying if an illusion is cast upon you ;)

Thanks Laffs...Found the patch and it worked great. :D

Target window
 

Hey you great UI modder... I just re-loaded with the latest ui, and I've now lost target window stability agian.

in short and english: the window is again automatically reducing it's size at log in only, it will survive a zone . even with the mod you put in before could you make another window again =) apparently something was changed in LU16 i'm gonna try and move an older target window i know works and test it but thought i'd give you a heads up =)

Thanks again for the work you do!

Krylosis.

My implied target window doesn't work at all =(
I get it to show using the keybinding, but whenever I select anything that's targetting something else, it won't show up >.<

Anyone have any clues?

Edit: Didn't work all day yesterday, or today, even when I posted this I tried it. Soon as I posted it, it all of a sudden starts working o.O And, I had the window disabled, and it's showing >.>

Creepy, but working, so, I'm happy :)

Edit edit: And after I posted that it stopped working >.<

Also, eq2ui_inventory_store also appears to be broken. Deleting this restores the default, and all seems to work fine, but I miss my "Find it" button. :)

No rush on my end...I'm sure you're enjoying LU16 too, Laffs!

Regards,

Well I logged onto the US servers to aquire the files yesterday and test what what I had changed...... And guess what!!! ...... All the godamn servers were down!!

So after trying for like 1 hour I gave up

Went and played on UK servers with LUD16 files on a server still using LUD15 and guess what again random crash after crash.... So basicly I got nowhere at all ......

Hopefully today will be different!

probably because the servers were down with the lu16 patch heheheehe i can live with my issues till you fix it, :) and laffs remember im set at 1600 by 1200 for the target window. but again laffs you ROCK! and we just want you to know we tell you the problems to help you make a better product.

hey laffs, I thought I read on your laffs lite that you are working on your own laffs work. I want to offer my help for your 1600 by 1200. I do not know much of XML but I have a great monitor that works 1600 by 1200 like a champ. so if you need me to test your UI's at that resolution I'd be willing =). this is for anything you do =) i can play with it.... just want to help out in some way

Krylosis

Thanks...

What would be of a help to me would be if you have space to make a new toon and set up the UI windows in the correct positions for that res again and post it for me to put in the download folder... Reason a new toon is required is so that you realy do get a clean settings file to start with :) thanks again

not a problem, i have space in many places hehehe i have some on your lovely server of splitpaw, my own on blackburrow =) I'll get on that today =) plus i can also work on other things but you'll have your new ini file later today =) looking up pda's for christmas

Krylosis

1600 by 1200 UI settings ini
 

hey laffs, i made a few positional changes, but it looks very close to the original perdition, and your positions and window sizes :) I think you will like this! heheh if you want i can upload a pic that it is based off of (but i've deleted the new char, since i just wanted to get this ini to you. the Target window resizes on log in. resizes down to the smaller size even after saving at the larger size. =)

Krylosis

PS: this is a true zip file =) I can't upload the ini directly hehe. oh and this is using your most recent zip of the UI =)

Edit: a few things, the petition window, the text is stlll very hard to see. (perhaps change it to whie? also the show hood button doesn't work anymore it will remove but not put back

Oks mate thanks for the settings file I have it in the folder ready for the next upload I do .... And the other issues are on my todo list lol ... todo list is more like the size of a telphone directory now lol

hehehe
 

well if you want or need it tested in 1600 by 1200 let me know i'll work with it =)

Krylosis

ok something new i think has happened.
 

i've been noticing that hte hot bars that have icons that are flashing due to being an HO completion or advance button black out completely instead of flash. =) a little annoying but not too badly. thought I'd let you know Laffs since you are only one person and can't catch all the problems =). i'll work at getting a screen shot for you.

Kryosis

in persona windows dont have information of account activation days. plz put in in future!!! :nana:

make sure you have the latest version of this UI. I have it and that info in mine. =).

Missing Mechant window skin
 

I am using this mod and it seems the skin for the merchant window is missing. Mine comes up totally white. Not sure why it seems to be only me that has this issue. Just thought I would mention it. All other windows look correct.

petition window
 

hey laffs, here is a pic of the petition window and one of the selections box. the text in the petition is not affected. =) anyways hope this helps and I have the current UI update too (11/11)

Compass Issue
 

i'm just wondering if everyone has the same compass issue i do. i think i recall one other person posting something on the comments on the download page but i could be wrong.

essentially my compass if off by 90 degrees. if it's pointed north i'm actually headed east i think it is and so on.

a small complaint about the best ui out there but this would be nice on those occasions where i'm trying to find a specific loc.

Oks here is a compass and merchant window for you guys to try...

The issue with the help window is down to soe's default dropdown boxes.. And I asume that they will be doing somthing about this in the next patch... If they dont then I guess I will have to lol

updated compass worked beautifully. helped me out finding some locs tonite. thanks a ton. i didn't test the merchant window because i have no issue there so i wasn't sure what i was looking for.

one other thing i noticed is that on the top spellbar you can no longer click off your own effects. was wondering if this is a product of overall changes to the ui in general or something specific to this one.

thanks again for all the hard work, i find it hard to play without this fantastic ui.

Thanks Laffs. these files did the trick :)

Skirlock

Thanks guys pleased they work...

No the right click problem with that window is just specific to this ... and I will be fixing it soon.. :)

Is there a slot for food and drink in your inventory? I don't have any showing, so I can't stop eating and drinking when I am afk. Am I missing it?

Thanks

target bar
 

hey laffs, i took the target bar you fixed for the lite ui, and it works like a charm. one thing i notice is that it does not have a health bar, just the % numbers and all else works :)

Krylosis

Bars dont work because that one has a different reference / path to the style, This will be getting an updated target bar soon, Just trying to iron out any bugs atm, So you get a proper version hence it actualy cuts down on my work in the long run :)

hehe
 

I see. well it works and i'll wait, just thought i'd let you know and others that if they have the target window minimized on log in could use that window for the time being.

Laffs you are the best. you do great work, surpassed only by the art of TKing!

Krylosis

(hey gotta pay hommage to da KING! heh.. couldn't resist..)

but you are the best skinner i've seen in EQ2

Thank you for that mate, I am just a humble guy that likes to share my work / ideas with others, If it wasnt for this comunity I / we wouldnt be able to do that :) ... As for Mr King you his artwork does rock I gotta agree, Some real impressive stuff .. looking forward to a download so I can take a look in game myself.... Graphics aint my thing its taken me like 4 months to just grasp how the .DDS stuff works lmao ... Now I can actualy do somthing with those files lol ... Its the adaptation of and the intergration of and some crafty programing that makes it work for me lol

/salute

Startbutton
 

Thanks for the great interface.
I would like the startbutton at the top left with all of the extra functions on it with the replacement bar where the old startbutton was but i cant seem to work it out. What are the names of the two files i need to put in my Laffsv8 folder to get this to happen?
Thamks in advance.

I think this is the set of windows that you refer to give you the set up you want...

Just drop them all in the LAFFSV8 folder and overwrite the existing one's

(also take a look at the read me file that is in this zip as well m8)

Thanks
 

I know that you prefer to work on your other UI, but please keep on with this version - I pretty much can't play with anything but this one :)

nice work again !

The eternal mushroom
 

I saw an earlier response from Laff's that's he's aware of the problem of not being able to right-click the upper spell bar to disable a spell, but I thought I'd relate a somewhat humorous effect of this:

Several days ago, I cast Summon Zygomid to create a little mushroom pet (you get it in splitpaw arena). Later on when I wanted to get rid of the rascal, I found I couldn't! The spell doesn't appear on the lower spellbar, nor does it appear in the maintained spells bar, only in the upper bar where you can't turn it off.

The little booger follows you around EVERYWHERE and doesn't disappear on its own, so he's still following me around 5 days later! lol!

It's not a big deal, just kinda funny. :)

I'm also experiencing the same problem as Krylosis with the petition window -- items are black. And I also can't seem to click in the text box in the friends window either. I have to add / remove friends w/ commands. (ie. /friend).

BTW, very nice interface, Laff's, thank you very much for it! I think I speak for us all when I say we appreciate your hard work.

Roflmao ...... Thats so funny with the mushroom :p

I am going to remake the effects window today,

The comunity window mod I will replace with the Laffs Lite one ... As the only change I have made to that window is move the close button etc down into the main window and remove the fancy backgrounds for the titlebar..

I will take a closer look at and actualy play with this UI on the test server and fix whatever else is broken / not working correctly far as I can see..

Thanks to all who are still using this UI and your patience in waiting for updates an stuff :)

Updates
 

Oks I been playing with this UI again .. and have updated the stuff I found to be not right etc :)

But you guys need to keep me posted on this please, Like any little bugs / requests you guys have that use this UI...

This was my first real attempt at at a full UI overhaul so to speak based on Perdition's UI (that I maintain now also, as a shrine to the work of Perdition)

So having said that I dont want it to fall by the wayside so to speak.. So I would like to hear of stuff you guys might like to be added to this UI still :)

I have a couple questions:

1. I have some how lost the blue bar that shows how much power I have left. How can I get that back? What is the name of the .xms file that controls that?

2. I like to play in full screen but every time I log in, I am in widescreen (letterbox). I can go into options and adjust the letterbox back to zero but the next time I log in I have the letterboxes again. Any way I can change this so that I do not always start in widescreen?

Winner!!
 

Live Update 18 fix??
 

Laff I really love the UI, but since Live update 18 will there be a fix to what SOE added?

Keep up the awesome work.
