Hello dping28, All you need to do is down the ui installer and run it. It will install the ui and set it up for you, eq2maps come with this UI and at the end of the install it will give u the option to update eq2maps or not. You will also want to grab the patch and unzip it into the extreme folder after you complete the install.

If you deside to go back to your old UI just uninstall extreme or change the folder name in the eq2ui.ini file in your everquest2 folder. When you install extreme it will want to adjust your uisettings file to place all windows in the correct locationg and it will also back up your current ui file. So if you do deside to go back all you have to do edit the backed up files name by takeing back_ off it.

Yes I do know about this and it is addressed in the next update which should be out around sunday.

howdy
 

im really excited bout you next release landiin do you have any idea when it will come out and will it include the quick switch button also will you have the harvest butten fixed? what other kind of features can we expect thx great work

I am shooting for this Sunday, sadly there will be no new options/features in this release. This release is basicaly getting the UI cought up internally. SOE changed the way they structer the windows and other things so really I am having to rewrite my styles code ( no I don't have to do that but I like to keep it parrellel(sp) with the way SOE hase theres). I will have the harvest button working even if I don't get time to put in all of the new T6 stuff. As far as the quick switch button, I hate to use the authers work but after the next update it will brake because of the styles change. If I have time I may add it or I may just pm the auther the new style so they can get it updated.

Oh yea some things have changed, I have moved the stat bar over to where the profermance pannel is and made it the default(top) page. You can rotate the page to stats,profermance, exp. I moved the quest name to where the stats where and moveing the 5 big inventory windows up and makeing the verry small inventory windows bigger so you can see them bigger. You will still be able to expand the inventory as you do now also.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.. I look forward to trying your UI looks VERY nice...

-D

Hi,
We still have a problem with the search window.
When searching for other players you can not choose class, alignment, or race.
It does not give you the drop down window?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Lakerss3, Thanks for posting a bug how ever I do know about this one and It will be addressed in the next up. 2.16. I was going to try to have it out this sunday but with the added slots to the inventory they are adding I don't know if I'll be able to get it out by then as there is a lot of location movement in my inventory. I am hopeing I'll be ready for it by friday morning when LU16 goes live.

In your "spare time" could you make a caster oriented exp bar (something like a symetrical staff rather than the sword)?

UI is pretty cool, still finding new widgets :D

Staff for the casters would be kewl but not sure how much work that would be when it comes down to the widgets .. I found a staff that I think would work and I'm attaching it here .. maybe some with more coding experience can pick this up and make it happen. :D

Any thoughts on this?? Image is in the photoshop native format to prevent compression and artifacting.

And

I'll see what I can do:) Just remember the stat has to be thick enough to house the 3 bars that make up the exp bar.

Hmmm, hadnt given that any thought. May prove tricky. Also, is there an easy way to make the background a black or a dark green? Im UI retarded o.O

No there is no easy way to do it. Each window has its own background, you would have to change each and every one you wanted another color.

Was thinking about it some more and thought that some type of orb may be easier than a staff, it would have a similar shape to the sword.

Orbs might not fit in the space provided where the sword is unless we do a horizontal guage. A Staff with a large orb on the end may work. Use the base of the staff as the guage line and the orb would take the place of the none gague side of the bar. By looking at the widget the sword dimensions (Full size) is 650 by 150 and it scales down accordingly to the UI. There is not a lot of height provided there to get a good circular xp bar. Now if a staff does not work there's got to be something else a caster/priest can use .. just need to come up with an idea. Maybe a dragon laying down or something extreme like that :P

Here is a sreenie of the new exp and inventory windows. The size and placement on some labels nees to be tweeked but I am happy with it so far.

Examine Item Background
 

Hi
Is it possible to change the transparent background on the examine item screen to a solid color. Even if its grey like the rest of the UI.
I dont mind if i have to make the adjustments to the extremeUi files myself.
If someone could just point me in the right direction with a few instructions would be fine.

The attachment shows the transparent window i just want to change it to a solid color
Thanks

They'll all be solid in the next release. However if you wanna do it now, you can edit the file, just changed the opacity property to 1.00 from .600 in the WC_Background page of that file.

Lu16?
 

I'm so hooked on this UI! I've tried all the Tyejae's and keep crashing changing chars... this works PERFECTLY. The only thing I've been wanting to change was getting rid of transparancies. I've read that will be fixed w/Next update.

So, am I to assume we'll have a quick release for LU16? Gotta not take my jones away from me. Hooked solid.

And I'm sure this has been spewed elsewhere... The tool tips...GAH! I hate them over my hotbars... can the Tooltil for hotbar items be places stationary somewhere? That'd be awesome. Since SoE did that Large tool tip thing, I've not liked it. Either have to make it So transparent it doesn't bother you, but you sometimes need to read. Or make it so small to not worry about it but wish it was big, again, when you need to read the tool tip.

Anyway, Are ya gonna be ready come LU16? ::Crosses Fingers::

No hotfix for lu16, it'll be a full download, lots of styles have changed.

I doubt I change the new pop up other they skinning it. It can be customized in the option all the way down to nothing so I don't really see a need to change it when others might like the in your face tooltip, I don't but every one has there thing I just cut it down to size in the options.

Yea, I am hopen to have it out by patch day.

I so hope you get the update out today. I love this UI and have used it for as long as I can remember it being on eq2interface. Guess I going back to default till it is released. The changes to the whole ranged slot and moving around of all the slot will most likly mess with the UI to much till you get the time to get the new patch out. I have had 12 of my guild members turn to your UI and start using it. All of them said they love it. So keep up the good work

The MAIN HUD ( play screen ) is complete, so if I can't get the rest skinned in time for the LU, I will release that part so you don't have to use the defalt for that part.

Cool. I just sitting here refreshing this page lol. That and sitting on eq2 chat room

Oh ****e! I missunderstud when this was going live.. I am at work ATM when I get hope I will get what I have done uppped so you can use. Take in account that windows like you inhouse merchent,stor trade skill, will be default ones till I get them reskinned in a couple of days. I shouldn't of spent so much time on the new inventory but I think its a lot more workable now then it was before.

lol, no worries, I'm a work too :)

Ohhh Noeees!!!11 It's not readyyyyy!

What do I do? I needs my EXTREMEUI!! :eek: :eek:





Do whatever it takes, I can go back to default for the interm.

This is the main reason I never used a UI until I discovered yours. SOE likes the randomly jack **** up. You spend the first 5 days after a patch fixing the UI then get about 2 weeks before they hack it all up again.

Best of luck Lan.

I am so sorry for not haven this ready by LU16 going live. Just been to busy but I should of had a hotfix up never the less.

Witht that said, I am upping the main HUD for you guys and WILL have the rest done by Monday.

You need to uninstall eXtremeUI ( you may want to back up your current one ). Then install 2.16. DO to the many changed windows and the way they work you can't just install over the old one:(.

Note that This install only has the main display hud done:( With the lack of time and the amount of changed SOE out ran me this time. I WILL have the complete skin ready for installation by Monday.

Again sorry for falling behind and not having this ready for an easy transition.

quit kicking yourself, man... not like you get paid for this, it's a labor of love. and right now, SOE made it so it's more like labor of quintuplets. :eek: :eek:

just curious...
 

How long are these usually *pending* for?

it depends sometimes could take like 5min or hours depending on if an admin is here or not =( :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Its horrible.

Some post LU16 issues have showned their ugly faces

Target Window .. the target and implied showing the same Target ...

If I click on a target say Elise's Handmaiden .. I get name on both bars but the health bars are not the same .. if I click on tank .. say Smith I'll get smith on target and smith on implied but target with be smith's HP's and implied is the targets's HP's . its odd and wierd .. and confusing

No Large xp numbers but have the small vit %
But love the new stats window :)
Blue power bar is in the very middle of the target health bar.
Health Hud not working
Illusion and hood buttons not working due to overriding check boxes in the persona window

And thats about it that I've come across tonight .. not sure if you knew of any of that before hand or not...

Thanks

First off let me say this is the first UI i have ever used and omg i cant get over how cool it is. Quick question though and you may have addressed it before but i missed it...why doesnt the harvest info button work,or showhood, or hide illusion? Did i do something wrong with install? Oh also for some reason what ever i target doesnt show in the target window. If i target myself it says im a 36 guardian and i have 100% hp but it doesnt actualy say my name. Thanks in advance for any info.

Seems to be a new bug Zobic.. All we can do be patience and wait for a fix :)

UPDATE INFO

• You can once again turn your illusion on and off via the quick buttons
• You can once again turn your hood on and off via the quick buttons
• Added the active quest window I left out in 2.16 ( no more defalt in the HUD ).
• Added the bags back in that I forgot to put in. ( boy did I miss theme )
• Your debuff icons once again report what type of debuff has been placed on you.
• The Health HUD has made a return. ( I used the memorize window for this and SOE took that window out of the game eek.. It now uses the player window so you can also access it by useing that shortcut key combo)
• I found the large Exp window and made it start showing up.
• Added a power percent to the target window. In 2.16 I moved the targets power bar to the middle of its health bar to increase the size of the health bar. like, dislike? Let me know.

Oh one more little error since the last version.
The Main Hotbar (top, middle) have a count problem with the slots.
The Slot0 is known as Slot1 and Slot1 is correct known as Slot1.
Also you have two Slot1 :rolleyes:
You count 1-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9.

Market window not working
 

I noticed that I can not view my vault or sales log from the market board in room. Also I am having problems with the Claim window.

All of that is pure SOE its the default. I haven't even begain to touch them yet. Do /bug in game.

Also did you uninstall the old 2.14.x?

To me there is no main hotbar, one hotbar is the same as all hotbars, they are just clones of each other. WIth that said what top, midle? and what is the problem?

Yes I know about the 1 1 2 3 4 5 ... issue but there isn't any thing I can do about it, these numbers are dynamicly assigned by the game not me. /bug it in game.

No one ever answered about the harvest info button, does it just not work? or just not work for me? and hood/illusion still dont work.thanks again for any help.

As I said earlier not all windows are skinned and will be skinned as time permits. As the harvest window hasn't worked since DoF was realeased, its not high on my list.

The illusion on/off works just fine, the hood on/off still seems to be not functioning atm.
