Not sure exactly what you meant about the notes, I thought everything was in the correct places, if you would explain which files go where, that may help. How do I get rid of the existing rgb layer? what I did, it made my logo and adjusted its size for each one of the ones that said guild logo, and just copied it right on top of it, was that a no-no? lol

First of all I use photoshop so any directions I give will be with that in mind. As for the Guildlogo.dds there are 4 layers RGB, red, blue, green, and alpha. RGB is a combo layer that lets you edit Red, blue, and green all at once. Basically just delete the Guild Logo text by using box tool then cut from the edit menu if u end up with a white box use the paint bucket to fill this in. Then use the Text tool and whatever effects you want to create your logo. If you create another layer the guild logo will show through wherever you didnt put any color because the layer is transparent. Im not sure how to break it down any simpler. Really it just takes some tinkering. I just started using photoshop about 2 or 3 weeks ago so I'm pretty new to it myself. BTW if anyone knows how to created diagonal lines in photoshop pls let me know. I use shift and pencil tool to make the horizontal and vertical lines but cant find what is used to make diagonal.

I guess I will include the photoshop file for the guildlogo for a timplate to use.

Awesome. Its great that when I try (try because servers are down) to log in, I see the name of guild, as a picture I created, its just basic right now, cause I was just messing with it, even though it says guild logo behind it, cause I messed up lol, its still great, but that does sound like an awesome idea, anyone know how long the servers will be down?

Awdome, I am going to try that now. I use photoshop as well, I have been using it for several months now, and I have yet to figure out how to make diagonal lines, I usually just make the line in paint program, then paste it to whatever im working on in photoshop

I'll do that to and see what I like better. I got it in a round about way here is a screen from the uibuilder, its greyish blue metal texter. Tanks take note of the maint window. New stats are there for us:) To bad avoidance isn't made available in a whole nuber just percents:( but its broke down into skills.

I did what you said. I cut and cut and cut to make sure it was gone, well now its white lol, it says my guild name (Blades of Chaos) Then in white behind it, it says Guild logo, and when on of the letters from my guild name is not ontop of one of the letters in guild logo, then you cant see it, hehe I may just have to wait for the template and try then

switch to the alpha layer and delete the guild logo outline by using box tool and cut

How do I get to the alpha layer, cause, I dont see it lol

Best thing to do is make a new image the same size with a transparent background. Creat you logo then save as, pick .dds save in 8,8,8,8 it don't matter about mips I don't use them because the game don't use them for the ui. and your all good togo. YOu don't need to flatten the image or any thing the plugin will do all that for you and your left with the raw file to change when ever.

Ok that really didnt work. As soon as I would get to where guild logo is supposed to me, i'd get a pop up, eq2 client application has encoutered a problem and needs to close. hehe oops :P

I may be wrong but I think the highest game can utilize is dtx3 for .dds anything above that it just converts down. /shrug

Damn thats a bright background.

ok I converted back to my old one, and it says my guild name, there is no guild logo, but the back ground is white and not transparent

Invert alpha layer or create from scratch.

personally I like the way that looks hehe, if it where a brownish it would look very similar to hardwood flooring, be a nice change lol.

when I created it from scratch it caused my game to not get to the guild logo, and it would crash, and i cant find how to do anything with alpha layer
ok I went to the channels tab, i see rgb red green blue, but no alpha.
tinkering with things I figured out how to make an alpha layer, only problem is, now that I have, when I load eq2 once i get to where guild logo is supposed to me, its blank!

2 Questions
 

Howdy, Im Using Extreme ui currently but im trying to incorporate fetishs Tradeskills 4.0 into the ui. Every time i install to the directory the game goes to the loadup screen then crashes to desktop. are there some files i dont want to install?

2nd question how do i make the GUILD LOGO actually be my Guilds Logo??? i read the readme files and it doesnt seem to be getting through to my brain.

Thanks in advance

Istoff

I am not sure about the crashing problem, but we were talking about changing the guild logo earlier in the thread. Somewhere there is a link for a photoshop plugin that you will have to download to be able to change your guild logo. Once that is done you can edit it to the way you want it to look, and what you want it to say. If you read through the forums Landlin and Heidrelka (sry i know I spelled ur name wrong) explain this a lot better then I can, since I have gotten to the part of putting my own guild name, but still cannot get the alpha layer to be transparent. Good luck, and dont hesitate to ask questions, every question is always answered

no clue on the tradeskills 4.0.

As far as the guild logo goes, you ether need to edit the current guildlogo.dds file or create a new one. If you create a new one it needs to be the same size as the current one are it will look all dorked up in game.

/shrug I always save 8:8:8:8 ARGB (32 bit) w/no mibs

clueless
 

cool interface from what i can see .... but thats just it! it looks ALOT like my old interface from th original game! ... granted it has a few bells and whistles as in the chat windows and all of that those are neat. But basically I don't see anything any different other than those chat windoews from what i see in the main UI. Additionally when you use spells like Bria's Enchanting Sonnet I'll be durned if you can find the window that is supposed to popup for you to give your temprary pet a command! ...... Also the maps look the same. I really don't see the UI all of thse snap shots are coming from .... any clues?

What original game? The background was made by perdiction witch has since retired and 2 or 3 people has picked up the basic layout and carried it on.

As far as it not working for you, You may want to leave a little bit mroe info such as; Are you following the install docs? Are you using your own INI or the suplied one? Are you ediiting you own eq2.ini or using the suplied one? What res are you using?

For the maps have you checked the ask to over write eq2ui_mainhud_maps.xml check box in the options? My guess is you didn't and you over wrote it couse it to dork it up.

Are you sure you used the same size? its 1024x256. The image H and W has to be a power of 2. And for the image to display the guild logo correctly it has to be 1024x256:)

Yea it was, i think. I decided not to do it that way. I got the guild logo underneath my guild name to go away, only problem I am having now is the back ground of it is white instead of transparent, I was told to make alpha layer transparent but I cant for the life of me figure out how to do that lol

Was the Box for autobanking an item fixed? It doesn't seem to be working for me.

No 1.12.6 was just a hot fix for the rewards window not working correctly.

EQ2 Map problem
 

Ok i don't know if anyone has posted anything about this or not. But i have read alot of this thread and haven't seen anything about it except a bug where eq2map updater reinstalls the eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml and the maps don't show properly. So I told EQ2map updater to tell me when overwriting the file so i can tell it no but the problem persists.

Problem: Step by step what i do i load the eq2map updater and either way overwriting the map.xml or not overwriting the map of the commonlands east and west always screw up. It had something to do with when you go from the east to the west side of the map or vice versa but it will only show both sides of the map correctly one time. Then when you look at the maps again either by pressing m or any other way it will show the last side of the map you was on ( east or west) with it mixed with the icons on both and you have to us the tool at the bottom to change it to the correct map. Its very very annoying but i continue to use the extreme ui cause in my opinion its the best just need help fixing my one issue :)

PS i will try to get a screen shot and post it here for if you have no clue what i'm talking about.

Screenshot
 

here is the screenshot of the problem its suppost to be commonlands west map but as you can see its east.. My character is at the hidden canyon station in the commonlands and its showing my where the orcs are on the east side of the map???

1.12.7 fetish maps will be taken out, untill it becomes more stable for every one. This is not my mod, It works flowless for me but it seems people can't figure out how to get it to work right and it has become more of a pain then its worth. It will still be there as an option but not suported.

Extremeui Colors??
 

first off.. love this UI, as I recently changed from TyeJae Night Steel 3.3 by Aeeolag .. I liked the colors of the HP/MANA bars for the old UI I used to use, and the multi-color type is kind of hard to read at times. Is there any preset changes I can swap out to change to a solid color for the hp/mana? if not, is there any simple way to change, (ex: changing an image file slightly, changing color code within XML, etc?) .. also, is there anyway I can make it ONLY show the hp/mana %.. and not the acualy 0/1 amount? .. I do have some very slight XML knoldge, and some graphic editing/creating experiance, so I think i can do this, just not sure where to start or where the data for the colors is really stored. Hope someone can help me. thanks!

ditto on the issue below (post #419)

Sweet UI though...

just wanted to say thanks for getting back so quick and i can't wait till the update of this awesome UI comes out.

Patron Status
 

Hi guys... thanks for the great UI its keeps getting better
the only problem i have is there is no longer a patron button on the guild page to set or remove patron status.
Is there a way to fix this or a keyboard command to set patron status?

thanks

Again after live update 13 there will be no such thing as a patron, so in the proccess of gettting the UI ready for the update it has been removed.

You could edit the files you want to change IE eq2_mainhud_player.xml and change the image coordinates to match that of a bar you would rather use. Be sure to make a backup of this file so you dont accidentally overwrite it with a future update. Im not very good at getting image coordinates but landiin might be able to help if he has time. Remember that unless it is widely requested or we decide to, minor graphics changes such as bars and such wont be supported but I will help you as best I can if I have time. Our primary goal at the moment is to get the bugs worked out and windows tweaked and optimized where everyone has a playable interface at multiple resolutions. I've been having wife agro issues last couple of days so I haven't had the time lately to help people out but once I slay the beast I'll be back to help out more.

I'll add an Close button but just press the same button you used to open it to close it.( I think it works that way lol )

I been tryin to figure out how to edit the Guild Logo. understand need to edit the .dds file, but what program will do that??

apreiate the details, but i acualy found out how to do it, after a few hours of messing with the xml code and all, and finding what was what. here is a pic of what I came up with and like a bit more. Only thing is that I'm now trying to make the HP bar fully RED and not multicolor. i was able to figure out how to make it multi-reds .. going from light red to dark, but is there anyway I can make it all one red color?

Another thing I have been trying to do is remove the effects for group members, sence i dont hardly watch over them most of the time anyways, and would like to try and add hotkeys in place of them, being 2-3hotkeys per group member, to allow for a quick macro to auto target that specific group member, and cast a heal or buff specifed in the macro setup. I realize that having lone macro hotkeys might be a litle issue, but what it I had the draw the data from keys within hotkey bar 10 .. or something like that? is this posable.. and if so..anyone able to give me a run down on how to do this?? .. thanks in advance!

Just open it up in the uibuilder it'll be much easier for you to do it in there insted of teh raw xml code.

Load up the uibuild and open file eq2ui.xml. on the right pannel click on the tab MainHud the from the list box to the left expand mainhud and then expand player find the object named HealthBar_NonHardCode and make the propertie Style /eXtreme.ProgressStyles.HYellow and the propertie Color #00FF00. This will make the bar solid red and it will never change from that color. It will be red at full health and red at dead.

The debuff icons in the group window are in mainhud->groupmembers->groupmember1->memberinfopage->effect1-4, you will have to change it from all 5 group members.

I use photoshop, paintshop will also work. These are the only two I now of. You will also have to download the .dds plug in for them, the plugin link can be found some where on these forums.
