Max, I remember having that same problem. I too realized that it is something with the add-ons. So, like you, I did a fresh install, and it worked. However, one thing you could do, is do all the add-ons you wish, and then just delete the eq2ui_newcharscene.xml file. That will fix that, and it doesn't affect te mod at all.

I'm going to play with the bag windows a bit to see if I can't resolve the stay-put issue. Its a known bug I've posted about several times.

Here's a link to the StayPut thread which includes a note about removing the MaximumSize and MinimumSize values from the main page. I'm gonna try this to see if it resolves the issue on my end.

NEVER use any of the following files from an add-on:

eq2ui.xml
eq2ui_inventory.xml
eq2ui_mainhud.xml

The following file may cause problems if replaced by an add-on.

eq2ui_newcharacterscene.xml

wha ... ?
Wow, that makes zero sense. Glad you fixed it, but changing the size shouldnt have crashed ... *shrug*
Hmmm.. Do you have a theme as well, or, what extras do you have?

Quest Slider
 

I can't stress enough how great this mod is!

I really like the new quest slider but I have a hard time using it. Is it possible to make it scroll with the mouse wheel? If so, how would I do this? Also, I can't seem to get the reset button to change the quest shown. Is this a bug or is something likely going wrong on my end?

Thanks

Unfortunately no, I don't think sliders can be made to move with the scroll wheel or arrow keys.

The quest slider reset button restores the last active quest displayed when you last moused over the slider.

If you use the slider, then mouseover the slider again, the reset function is updated to the currently displayed quest, so its not going to change anything at that point.

The intended use is... grab and move slider to check another quest quickly, then hit the reset button. Its easy to accidentally mouse over the slider. To avoid this, its best to aproach the window from the top or sides until the slider and reset button become visible.

Zoning and UI
 

I have looked around and found several posts about slow zoning but my problem seems to be linked to the UI? I played in default and I zoned just fine, actually rather fast. I did a fresh install of eq2map and fetish nightfall and I am back to very slow zoning, it hangs at several instances.

Any suggestions on this?

Thanks!

Speaking of sliders - is there an easy way to move the slider on the Quest Assists window from bottom to top?

Oh - one other thing: Has anyone heard if the "active spell timers" are going to come back? I loved the countdown timers being live on the screen rahter than mouse-over. As a chanter-type (Coercer) knowing when one of your many mezzes is going to drop without constantly mousing for it is a great aid to the game-play.

I had to re-do my chars .ini file, although I am unsure if this or the "clean install" did the trick.

Go look at Downloads/Individual-Pieces/Misc and find the ini file I have there for DL, and give it a try.

Any "How To" Guides for Making Mods Fetish-Compatible?
 

The info I'm requesting may already be available -- in fact, I hope it is :) -- but I'm not too keen on wading through dozens of pages of messages to try to find it.

I frequently see people asking about whether this mod or that mod can be used with the Fetish set. Is there a handy "How To" guide somewhere explaining how to make my own mods Fetish-compatible?

I'm too much of a control freak to ever download an install an entire UI set created by someone else, so I'll probably never use the Fetish set myself. (I don't use *any* mods without knowing exactly how they work and what they do and usually without tweaking them extensively, anyway.) My familiarity with the Fetish set at this point is thus limited to having looked at a few screen shots, so any information would be helpful. :)

-- Darryl

Heres the Basics: Zonx compacted everything. He created two namespaces that hold just about every style that default has, in a much more logical stream. Default had its styles spread out over numerous branches. Additionally, he compacted the images files to just a few.

To make your mods fetish compatable, you will basically need the _FetishStyles.xml and the image files. You might want _FetishStyleSamlples.xml as well. You'll want to <include> those into your eq2ui.xml file as well. As long as you use the stuff under the "Fetish" namespace within the UIBuilder tree, and not the default branches, then any work you do will (should) be fetish compatible. If you edit images, try and edit the ones provided with any fetish mod.

If there is anything I missed, got wrong, etc, I'm sure Zonx will come in and clarify for you ;-)

Chumba, yes you can tweak eq2ui_journals_active.xml to have the slider at top fairly easily. Add 16 to the vertical location (that's the second number) of the following objects. If they don't already have a location property, insert location="0,16":
JournalUpdate
JournalsQuestDetail
WC_Frame
WC_Backdrop

Then set the vertical loc of these objects to zero, also change their PackLocation to left,top:
Reset
Slider

And so far no word on the timer DDs or the group DDs that are broken.

DBurgdorf, there are some basic reskinning instructions in the doc included with the zip. In most cases, simply do a side-by-side comparison of a Fetish file with your version and update your Styles, Colors, and Fonts to those in the Fetish file.

The doc also has some tips for modding this mod. Since the Fetish Framework is almost completely independant of the default UI, instalingl other mods as add-ons shouldn't break anything in either mod, so long as you retain the Fetish includes and size properties for major UI branch pages like MainHUD and Inventory.

i have a problem with character "é" "à" "è"...... very used in french. When we use the function to select an item in our vault and find it on the market we have a bug if the name contain one of these character

You can fix that?

same here for German "ä" "ü" "ö" "Ä" "Ü" "Ö" and "ß".

I reported it already here and tried to change te encoding of the XML Files but never found out how it works.

Zonx I know it was never designed for different languages then english, but if you have a idea it would be really nice.

If you need e.g. the german standard UI xml files to have a look inside I can send them to you. In the standard UI it works fine.

Generally the missing characters are not a problem, only in the quicksearch function of the broker it is really bad, because you get no hits.

Euro Fonts
 

Euro Font display can be fixed by replacing FontArial14T.xml with a copy of Font_Euro_Arial14.xml. Open that copy and change
Name="Arial"
to
Name="FontArial14T"

This however will not fix the Find It function. For some reason text passed by the Find It script to the Market window gets messed up even with the above fix in place.

Hi,

After last SOE update (no 9) I cannot get rid of widescreen letterbox border. Reinstalling Fetish 4.0 didn't help. Any clue on what I should do?

Thanks for help.

Emergeny Patch!
 

Posting this to resolve the bugged Letterbox frame introduced with todays patch. This is an emergency patch and does not address all SOE#9 changes. A 4.1 update will be posted ASAP with all the latest changes.

Also included in this patch:

- Euro and Japan fonts that I hope will resolve the display bug for those version. Please confirm since I can't test this myself.

- _FetishStyles.xml with Euro and Japan fonts included.

- Tweaked bag files that should make them less pron to shifting.

- Tweaked Clock and Compass files.

- Tweaked guild window that should resolve the scroll bug and makes the Notify checkbox clickable.

This fixes the blue line issue, but now my player health/power and target health/power windows are displaying incorrectly. Sorta a black line through each scale.

I insatalled the verison 4 everytiem I open my (K)nowledge book I get extreme lag and unable to select skills to palce on hotbar.. when I close the book lags gone.. is this a possible UI problem?

Pretty sure its not. My knowledge window sometimes hangs (similar to the hang you get when taking a screenshot) before opening, but otherwise its fine. Prolly a no-brainer, but you do hafta drag the icon itself, not the name. Could be your knowledge window got messed up some how.

Screen Resolution
 

First I gotta say...I love this UI.

Ever since Thursdays major change the scaling seems way off but it seems locked @ 1600x1200 for the character selection screen. My flat planel only does 1280x1024. I was wondering if you had a chance to take a look @ the changes since the lates mod on SOEs part. I did load your patch and is fixed the blue line letterbox issue. When zoning I also notice that the transfer splash is now moved like I was running @ 1600 x 1200.

I've noticed that alsthough I've installed your verion of Maps over the top like suggested I still ocasionnaly get the wrong map showing in a large 2 map zone. You having any luck tracking this issue down?

Anyhow keep up the excellent work.

That is a known bug that happens usually when you keep the map open while crossing between two maps

I just have one question, sorry if its been asked before (19+ pages, didnt read them all).

I have 2 blue bars across the middle of my screen, they look like they are the borders for the widescreen, but I cant move them. What are they exactly, and how do I move them?

Thanks.

Maps Problem
 

Mine are fine. Make sure you run map updater. And that you are in an explored zone ;-)

Try running the EQ2MAPs auto-updater

I'm having this issue, also...just wondered if anyone has addressed it.
thanks! :)

>_>

<_<

>_>

Isn't that what I just said? :nana: :nana: :nana:

You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words? ;)

A screenie would be most helpful.

Hopefully, you can see the black bars through my health/power and also my target. Also, notice the compass is the same way...

Looks to me like you might have a corrupt file there somewhere, although I aint an expert. Have you tried making a new folder, deleting the old and trying again?

Blank health and Porg bars prbly mean ur fetish_bars.dds is missing from the images directory or is corupt.

Looks like the same issue with round_compass.dds.

I reccomend rextracting those 2 DDS files and varifying all other DDS files in the zip are where they should be.

Change Default Chat?
 

I don't know if it's something I missed, but I cannot seem to change my default chat type from say? Is it possible? I know with the default UI you just click on the ballon and choose which one.

If that's my only complaint it's not a big one ;) Great job on this UI..I love the (Find it Now) on the Vault!!!

Thanks again.

Thank you, Zonx....I did as you suggested and as you can see, that worked.

I was afraid I was going to have to delete everything and start over. :)

Screen Rez Issue
 

Zonx,

You had a chance to look @ the screen rez issue? Like I mentioned befoer seems to be locked @ 16x12 now reguardless of what you set it at. It translates to an issue where you can't Load characters anymore from the Character selection screen.

Thanks,

Huon, this happens if you install eq2ui.xml from another mod. Reinstall the version provided in your latest Nightfall zip.

Nightfall
 

I recently installed the Nightfall ui and it is amazing at how well thought out everything is. I have a wierd problem happening. After I select my character the 2 lines that are at the top and bottom of the screen stay on my screen during gameplay.

Disregard just saw the patch sorry.

i've installed a clean 4.0 with patch 1 and have been getting some targeting problems.

I click on the tank in the team window and and it briefly (fraction of a second) show as implied target but then switch targeting direct to the mob and show the mobs target as the implied one.

Once it starts it can last for many mobs, then will work properly again.

Any ideas?

Sounds like you are clicking on the name of the tank, which I believe Zonx has set up as an assist button (forget which part you actually have to click on to target the actual player... think it may be the health bars? I use the F keys myself, sorry) So, it sounds like what's happening is, you're clicking on the tank name, and assisting him, so your target switches from the tank, to the mob, and your implied switches to the mobs target.
