Sorry guys dunno how it went missing just haven't had the time to look into it. Will fix it next time I patch it.

I've just always used that arrow on the top-left of the browser to shrink to a little box and click on it again to expand it back out.

Doh!!!
 

Sometimes I just scare Me - My bad - apparently I downloaded the new version, but hadn't installed yet. There it is again! :D

Indeed, I have confirmed my minimize button is still there and functioning. It seems that if the Browser window closes, it always try to pull up the homepage on reopening.

My alternative is that you can make a hotkey for: /show_window MainHUD.Browser

Next time I can, I'll try to get some functionality for moving one tab to another so that you can preserve open pages easier.

I don't have any stat/menu bar at all. It's just not shown when I display them with F10. I have both Profit and Drums updaters, is there an issue if I have both? Can't decide which I like better. Just really would like that stat/menu bar

In EQ options make sure the Allow Windows Off screen or something like that isn't enabled, then check for the menu/stat bar again via F10. Or mouse around the screen watching for a ghost window... perhaps the opacity is set to zero.

That window is checked but it says something like "Keep main HUD windows" so that it can't be hidden. still no stat bar, after uninstalling and reinstalling still nothing.

Delete your character ini file or edit it and find a line that referrs to bottom bar. The setting might have the window placed somewhere it can't be seen at.

Or import the settings of another character via the /load_uisettings command.

New release: Version 1.38

Please report any bugs.

Update Log:
v1.38 - 2012.11.13

- Update [Knowledge]: Updated research "speedup" button to match expansion updates (CoE update).
- Update [Maintained]: Added "Stacks" text to maintained icons (Coe update).

When updating with the manual version, it's best to delete your old installation. But "FIRST", backup the following files (copy them to a safe spot) to save your Quick Button settings, Item Notes, and Spell Timers:
- /POI/drumsui_textsettings.xml
- /POI/drumsui_itemnotes.xml
- /POI/drumsui_spelltimer.xml
(If you had any saved from 1.37 or previous)

Be sure to check out the DrumsUI Updater. The updater takes care of updates and won't overwrite personal settings files! :D

How soon before the administrators will make the full interface available? I don't like installing from an updater.

The Updater forces the install into EQ2 when I have a separate test directory set up on another drive just for the interface - it won't let me use it as it wants to see EQ2.EXE and I can't override it.

Please make them hurry and make the full install available for download.

UI updater shortcut
 

I noticed today that my shortcut for the Updater is gone. I didnt un-install it, no one else has access to delete it. No idea how it went MIA. I tried deleting the files for the UI Updater where I store them and re-installing it. The Java runs fine and the updater runs but I still dont have the shortcut on my desktop.

EDIT : Fixed the problem by totally un-installing the updater. Found some files hidden in the HD/users/user/appdata/local/ area.. there was a folder here for the UI updater. Deleted that and ran a Tune-up utility, then re-installed it and once the Updater program window popped up, I selected "reset shortcuts".

Thanks Drumstix.

Found some bugs
 

After coe i noticed that i can not longer use the sort options in the knowledge book. I can click sort, but not choose what to sort on.

I also for a long time had issue with the tracking window. The track and cancel keys are just not there. So far i have just added another tracking window, but thought i may as well report it. Else i am very happy with this ui :)

And while i am at it i also have a feature request :)

One of the things i liked when i was using fetish, was the easy change of performance settings. There was 4 predefined options, one was raid the other 3 i don't remember. But it was nice to be able to change performance options with a click of 1-4 keys. I would like to see something like that. Maybe something like save the current settings as key 1-x if that is even possible.

Keep up the good work!

1. Knowledge sort still works -- it's currently just hard to see the radio buttons being selected (as reported by 2 different users already)
2. The track button only shows when hovering the window, I can't recall if there is a cancel button (can use waypoint window alternatively).
3. The Default Options when has ways to save presets. Load/Save buttons.
You can create your own presets. With this + default performance dropdown in settings, there's no good reason for me to make generic presets really :)

Error
 

I have a new computer and have a fresh install of EQ2 and DrumsUI (installed by updater). I have been having some crashing issues. The crash log shows:

Couldn't load .xml
:: Could not access resource POI/drumsui_spelltimer.xml
:: Failed to load data from included resource: POI/drumsui_spelltimer.xml

Encountered data outside of container tags
:: Could not access resource eq2ui_Examine_.xml

I rechecked the files with the updater and also download the full interface to see if I had corrupt copies of these files or just what and found that I did not have POI/drumsui_spelltimer.xml at all and the only difference in my copy of eq2ui_Examine_.xml was that my copy of the file had a difference in the file name: eq2ui_Examine_.xml listed in the error log versus file name eq2ui_examine_.xml in my files; other than that the files are the same. Would a difference in upper and lower case letters in the file names cause an error?

I love your work on this UI, Thank you!

The reason the spelltimer.xml doesn't exist is it only gets created if you use the Spell Timer in-game and setup some spells to track. The UI tries to include the file regardless. The error is just a generic error and is normal. Doesn't affect the game at all.

The other access error is weird because there is no examine file with an underscore at the end. Seems like an incorrect error. I don't think the UI is the source of your crashing.

Hi Drums:

I may have posted this in the wrong forum.
Warlocks have a prestige spell called Toxic Assault. This spell builds up charges to a max number of 180 which can be viewed in the the lower right corner of the Toxic Assault icon. However this number does not appear in the icon in your Spell Timer Window.

As you know icons tend to appear and disappear rapidly and never in the same place during raids making it difficult to focus on any one particular icon. The spell timer window is a perfect spot for the Toxic Assault icon since it will remain in the same position at all times for quick "at-a-glance" info.

Is it possible to put that charges number in the icon within the spell timer window?

Thanks
Accredo

If it shows up in the Maintained Window, it should show up in the Spell Timer. If it only shows in the Effects window, then no.

Hi Drum:

The charges number and icon do appear in the (DrumsUI) maintained window, but the number does not appear in the lower right corner of the icon in your spell timer window.

Try resizing the window once in game with the buff up and tell me if it causes it to appear. The dynamic data is being weird.

Also make sure you have the latest version of the mod (I forget if I updated the stand-alone manual download =x )

http://advancedmod.com/DrumsUI/live/...DrumsUI_ST.xml

I have your current updater version (I am using 100% DrumsUI). I am unable to resize the spell timer window in the same way we can resize the hotbars. I do not see any option to resize it thus no charges number is visible.

Your DrumsUI_ST.xml that I am currently using begins with the following and doesn't match what you have linked: Are you saying copy into mine what you have linked?

The following is dated 06-19-12:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Page eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="15,91" MaximumSize="180,800" MinimumSize="36,36" Name="DrumsUI_ST" OnHoverIn="SettingsImage.visible=true" OnHoverOut="SettingsImage.visible=false" OnShow="Refresh.press=true" OnSize="COND=(Width &lt; 145)&#xD;&#xA;Composite.1.Amount2.visible=COND&#xD;&#xA;Composite.2.Amount2.visi ble=COND&#xD;&#xA;Composite.3.Amount2.visible=COND&#xD;&#xA;Composite.4.Amount2. visible=COND&#xD;&#xA;Composite.5.Amount2.visible=COND&#xD;&#xA;Composite.6.Amou nt2.visible=COND&#xD;&#xA;Composite.7.Amount2.visible=COND&#xD;&#xA;

etc....

The date on that is pretty old. Maybe you have it set to ignore on he updater?

Also, I don't really see a difference in the code you posted vs the Live one? If you're viewing it in a browser, it will cut off the top line probably. Right-click and save as to your hard drive.

I'm not sure how or why I had that file on my ignore list, but that was the culprit. Sorry for the trouble.. it never occurred to me to check the ignore list.

Thanks Drum... appreciate the heads-up.

Drumstix, any eta on the container updates?, we have to remove eq2ui_inventory_container.xml to get the search and deposit buttons for the new "collections depots" added in today.

Sometime tonight, that's when I'll have access to the files.

I have just began using this interface on resubscribing to EQ2. I like the feature on the Target UI Element that on mouseclick opens the browser and looks up the targeted mob. However instead of searching for the mob on the Wiki I would prefer it to go to www.lootdb.com and do an item lookup on the loot table for the mob.

Previously I have made a macro in game with /browser www.lootdb.com/eq2/mob/%T. This launches the browser and displays the relevant data. I have tried to modify the eq2ui_mainhud_target file to do this but do not know enough to get this to work. There are in this file two places where I see the following code:

<Button Location="157,0" Name="LookupTarget" OnPress="URL=&apos;http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Search?search=&apos; ## Parent.Name.localtext&#xD;&#xA;browser URL" Opacity="0.500" PackLocation="right,top" PackSize="fixed,fixed" ScrollExtent="13,13" Size="13,13" Style="/ButtonStyles.tabscroll_left" Tooltip="Lookup target" Visible="false" />

I assume this is where I change the text to what I want. Can anyone help here please?

Ok. figured out how to do it:

<Button Location="157,0" Name="LookupTarget" OnPress="URL=&apos;http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/mob/&apos; ## Parent.Name.localtext&#xD;&#xA;browser URL" Opacity="0.500" PackLocation="right,top" PackSize="fixed,fixed" ScrollExtent="13,13" Size="13,13" Style="/ButtonStyles.tabscroll_left" Tooltip="Lookup target" Visible="false" />

Hi.. is there any chance to include a timer for the merc payments? Many times I go to turn him off i had JUST paid the 25g..

depot

Click-to-Cure not working on 1 Character
 

Hi Drum:

I'm not certain if this is a UI bug or Sony bug. But on one character "only" when I click on your self click to cure I keep recieving the message "You may only use items in your inventory". In this case I am attempting to use the Robust Remedies which I have in my bags and which works on my other characters. I have deleted my character's _uisettings and restarted the game. I have deleted this file and selected other character's ui's. I have manaully put in the item numbers, I have reset them to default and I have even placed the remedies in different bags as well as equiping them. They work if I hotbar them but that's it. This problem is only isolated to this character. Is there another file I can delete and replace? I ran your updater, but your ui on my system is current. This is really screwy that it's only a problem on this character.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks
Accredo

Do you happen to have said potions in your bank? I remember there being a bug with potions existing in inventory and bank at the same time, preventing players from using them...

I just got home from work. I to now remember something about that as well. I think I have spare pots in the bank and will check tonight and let you know how I made out. Thanks Drums, you're always quick to reply to us.

Accredo

Update: Yup, Drum, that was the problem. I had extra remedies in a shared bag. I suspect the reason why it effected one char and not the other is because the effected character didn't make the remedies. The other character that didn't have that problem made the remedies and hence was not effected by that bug. Odd, huh?

Everything works perfectly again. This is definitely not your UI's fault but rather a Sony bug and I hope they fix that one day.

Thanks again

UI updated for today's patch. Uploaded just now. Will post a formal post later when I have more time.

Cheers.

The option to search bags doesn't seem to be visible now that the sort bags icon is there.
