Btw I love this UI I have...Though I do have a few current problems and have gone back to my old 1 for the time being.

1 In the setting menue half of the info is missing I.E. I cannot go to full screen as the area is not there to access
2 For some reason I always need to go bect to music settings to get rid of the eq music the settings never stay, Though I cant access them now anyways cus the option is not there.
Any Ideas to try to fix this as I would like to go back to OCD? :eek:

Unfortunately, I am having the same problems as a couple of people listed above:

1) In the options window, anything that would normally have a "+" sign next to it (i.e. the categories under each option screen) is invisible...it is not gone, you just can't see it. Mousing over where the "+" sign would normally be for "Performance," for example, will show the correct tooltip and clicking will display the correct options.

2) Music...that damn music. It's killing me. I turn it off every time I log in...and every time I relog, it comes back. Please, make the music stop!!

Even with these problems, OCD is still the best UI out there, by far. You have created a true work of art, Jaxel, and we thank you.

Same problems for me, music doesn't save, the windows were "updated" with the patch (doesn't show your default anymore) and options are invisible until clicked (although hard to click when they're invisible!).

I hate it when people make complaints about issues that have been stated before and addressed already...

The music and complex shader settings have NEVER been saved from session to session. If you want to change the default settings, you must edit the files in the /video folder of the UI.

Options menu should be fixed on recent patch.

New Community window is also in, as well as a restoration of the old maintained, effects and active journal windows.

This UI makes it easy if you get the SOE bug stick at Loading UI. You can camp to character select using the startbutton if you ever get stuck.

How would you go about saving the settings in the video folder J?
Thank you again for all your hard work. I imagine it would be annoying to keep seeing the same complaints that you are unable to fix.

:eek: bah not need to get rude
sorry that english is not my main language i really have no clue what to do in that video folders sorry that im so stupid ( yes i readed your readme files but dont understand it all)
and i never had that problem with the changed shaders and music chnages after you moded the startbutton after LU14 ok
so i dont needed i need to chnaged there anything but hey dont mind will no longer bother you
jesus boys allways the same ...... :mad:

eq2ui_mainhud_startbutton.xml
 

Hello Jaxel,

I had originally posted back on page 14 of the OCD Complete support forum how after LU14 the startbutton mod (eq2ui_mainhud_startbutton.xml) no longer worked, and that doing "Alt ~" didn't bring it back.

The only solution I could find was to replace the file with the one from the LU13 version of OCD Complete, as that was when it worked last.

After downloading 14.1 version and doing a "clean" install of the LU15 version of OCD complete and having it still not work, I got a little frustrated.


I realized somewhere there might be a problem in the code of the between the new version of the eq2ui_mainhud_startbutton.xml and the old one.

So, I opened it up both versions in that handy little Beyond Compare program and found a couple things different on the very first line.
One thing looked like the problem:

Line one of the new xml reads:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Page AbsorbsInput="false" Alwaysontop="true" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="770,114" MaximumSize="200,50" Name="StartButton" OnHide="visible=true" OnShow="hide_window=(MainHUD.Inventory)" PackLocation="left,bottom" PackLocationProp="0770/0001,-654/0001" ScrollExtent="200,50" Size="200,50" UserMovable="true">

If I change it to read:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Page AbsorbsInput="false" Alwaysontop="true" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="770,114" MaximumSize="200,50" Name="StartButton" OnHide="visible=true" OnShow="hide_window MainHUD.Inventory" PackLocation="left,bottom" PackLocationProp="0770/0001,-654/0001" ScrollExtent="200,50" Size="200,50" UserMovable="true">

The Startbutton window loads fine.

I did find while "Alt ~" didn't work, if I type "hide_window MainHUD.Startbutton" it brings the window up, but it also brings up another little EQ2 button and I have to do it everytime I log in. Changing that 1st line however makes it so I don't have to do that, It's there when I log in evertime now and on every character.


One thing I have noticed, and haven't attempted to fix yet, are the buttons for the different video quality settings and the custom preset don't show a graphic, they are just white, as shown in my pic below:





Keep up the good work, I really do love the UI.



EDIT:
I found the problem with the images.
Changing the corresponding lines from Source="images/jaxel_widgets.dds" to Source="images/widgets.dds"
fixed the problem.

Here is the eq2ui_mainhud_startbutton.xml file from the LU15 version of OCD Complete as I have modified it. You can, if you wish, run a comparison and see the changes I have made to it, and anyone else who is having the same problems can feel free to download it to fix those problems.

Duir, images/widgets.dds was deleted from the default UI last patch, which is why I have manually included in the XML... HOWEVER, i forgot to include the new image file in the recent upload! Thanks for reminding me, uploading it now. If default/images/widgets.dds is still there for you, then you must have not been playing EQ2 for the past month as the patcher should have automatically deleted this file from your default dir.

As for the hide_window=(MainHUD.Inventory) thing, thanks for testing it out, I will look into it and make sure it all works out. Another thing, the reason you are getting the extra buttons are because the /hide_window and /show_window commands are CASE SENSITIVE. If you do not do MainHUD.Inventory exactly and do mainHUD.Inventory or MainHUD.inventory, you will get multiple windows.

But I dont understand how putting in "hide_window MainHUD.Inventory" would work at all instead of "hide_window=(MainHUD.Inventory)". When you put in "hide_window MainHUD.Inventory", you are actually running two commands. It will first run "MainHUD.Inventory" and then run "hide_window", having them completely unrelated to each other. Theorhetically, your way shouldn't work and I am assuming this is a single case scenario as ALT~ works for everyone else (except people who have a European keyboard, they have a different command to which I dont know what it is)

quest journal
 

i love your Ui, do you plan on updating the quest journal part? with LU 14 and 15 the quest journal dont work.
it comes up blank.everything else is wonderfull and works great.

You have most probably answered this question so apologies if you have to repeat. I use a few of your interface pieces, and they are absolutly brilliant.

1) I use your Quest Journal as its brilliant, is there going to be a patch to include the new L&L, HQ, and access quests?

2) I use you start button, (without the mana stone mod) and was wondering if there was a patch to include T6 harvesting info, or could you let me know how to include it. (all T6 is marked as ???)

again your UI is brill, even thou i only use bits of it.

This kinda made me giggle, then I thought, maybe OCD is catching...

Opening thread of Jaxel's UI
mob=mod..... still love ya tho ;)


Thanks for your hard work Jaxel. Keep it up hun! :)

I think I'm missing something. I'm trying to use the entire UI and it isn't showing up correctly for me. I've deleted my Server_Name_EQ2_UISettings.ini file before logging on and everything is showing up disorganized. Nothing like the screenshots.

Thanks.

New change for LU16...
 

Oh no, I am pretty uphappy atm :( With LU16, which went into testing yesterday (11/03/05) and will be released next week, will you be working on a revised mod? I currently use your StartButton mod with the manastone timer, and I am just not sure that I will be able to live without out! But since they are moving the slots around in the inventory window, I assume that it will break your hard work :(

If there is someway you can just redirect all your current buttons to the new locations, I would be very happy :nana:

Again, I love your work, and thank you so much for this mod, it is the best thing in the game!

Raid Window
 

I just installed yesterday. I love this ui. Thanks for making it. I am having trouble bringing up the raid window and text commands and keyboard commands do not work. Any suggestions? Nevermind, alt not working.

I have a problem, I'm doing the eq2.ini file setting it correctly, but I can't seem to get the custom UI, I keep getting the new EQ2 UI.
How can I successfully intall this UI?

1. Make sure your "eq2.ini" is in your EQII base directory, and not in your "ui" or "ui/<custom>" directory.

2. Make sure your "eq2.ini" contains the lines:
cl_ui_skinname <custom-ui-directory>
cl_ui_subdir UI/

Issues I can see at this point is you are unable to sell things in your home (set prices/check prices).
You can't see a target's buffs or groupmates.
The /claim window is broken.
Minor items overall.

So which files should we take out?

Love the interface Keep up the work Bro
Only thing not working since LU16 is the /claim for me :nana:

Hi there, I use the "[OCD-Adv] 6-Row Bags 75% with StayPut" and was wondering if this is a problem with the StayPut part. All my bags seem to stay where I set them except for the bag in my 4th shared bank slot, it constantly jumps wherever it feels like it when I log into a character and go to the bank. Anything you can look at or point me in the right direction?

There gonna be an update to this interface soon, few of the windows are broke after the last live update, and i love this UI thanks.

Many of us love this UI! Thanks so much Jaxel! Will you be updating it sir?

i love this Ui and it's possible to have with new skin blue :)..or if someone can tell how can do for to have new skin? :)

Update anytime soon? Usually you're faster than this.

Sorry guys... I'm going back to college now, so I dont have any time to play EQ2 anymore. I've been bored with the game anyways so I really wont be playing it anymore.

Once I get my char to level 60, I'm going to SXE my account.

So OCD-Advanced is officially discontinued.

For selfish reasons, I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving us!

However, I hope the best for you! Yours was my fav interface. I truly appreciate all the work you've done for us over the past year!

Take care of yourself!

for all that are interested i have used this mod and absolutely loved it... but still some minor problems. so ive decided to redo the ui, and will have an OCD-feel to it.

i dont have anything posted, but will hopefully posting some stuff soon (also it is not dependant on soe graphic files, so if they change the ui colors again it wont effect my ui)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Please dont leave Jaxel I think this mod is the best available.

But if you are getting bored and need to move on well so be it.

Good luck in your future adventures and take care :)

WOOT!

As to Jaxel leaving... Gawd... That really sucks. I truly enjoyed your UI :(

been using most, if not all, pieces of ur UI ever since i came to this website... was a great UI... and its sad to see u go :(

VERY sorry to hear you will be leaving.

Your work was always exceptional and your contributions will be missed indeed!

Sorry to hear you're leaving but, good luck with school. One last question, anyone, where did the bag and start button come from? I could of sworn reading somewhere that it was from some where/someone else, i could be very wrong and no disrespect meant Jaxel. If anyone could answer and/or point me in the direction of a 1 button open all bag UI I'd appreciate it.

Is anyone going to take over OCD?

Thanks again Jaxel for all your hard work.

I think it was Goldi who made the original Button mod. As an fyi, you can also set /togglebags and /togglebankbags to a keystroke in the options menu. I have mine set to . and , so I don't need the onscreen button anymore, but that depends on your preferences of course :)

That helps, I'll give it a try....thanks.

:)

Just set the keys..........aaaahhh, s-a-w-e-e-t-!

Thanks again!!

:) :)

missing start button
 

Greetings,
I just installed your full OCD UI. It is wonderful and easy to use. I talking with my friend that told me about COD he got to talking about all the stuff around his EQ start button. All I have is the EQ2 start button. I do not have icons that open all my bags, ingo on Tiers', or any of the other stiff he was talking about.

Have I messed up the install and did not get the button? I look forward to your answer.

Thank you
Suunsu

Try pressing alt and the ~ keys (tilde) while in the game. I have to do that sometimes myself.

added patch for inventory
 

Hi I added a patch for the inventory to be compliant with LU16. I"m going to try and fix the store window too. There are other store windows out there that do the same things but look different than OCD, so it is form or function at the minute. (the other store windows are in the pieces area under miscellaneous) I'm hoping to keep this updated as well as I can, but I'm still very new to this and don't have tons of time. So I'll be working on the critical pieces and then going from there.

Thanks Himay

I know some other folks are having problems with the compass now being 1/8th off (45 degrees to the left; it points NE when it should be pointing N). Anybody taken a look at this? I'm not sure if I'd be able to find what's wrong and fix it, but I'll take a look at it sooner or later, I s'pose...

I was offline for 3 months, so I'm not sure when the problem first presented itself...I'd imagine it was sometime after the last or next to last LU. Any thoughts on what changed that might cause this sort of behavior?

So sorry to see Jaxel go...got a touch of OCD myself, and his pieces far outnumber anybody else's in my patchwork UI. :)

Tradeskill Interface
 

I really like your Tradeskill Interface, but I miss the green/red indicators when you hit/don't hit the correct buttons. Is there anyway you could add that back in to your design? :p
Sincerely,
