Thank you for trying this mod ... It is by no means a "new" one but has been around for quite somtime now.. I still keep it updated.. but nothing changed so to speak... :) Laffs Lite is the kinnda ongoing project for now if you like.

Your UI looks great, but I have a major problem.

I load everything in correctly as your readme file states.

But when I start up the game, the windows are all jumbled over the loading screen and it isn't set up when my character fully loads. Looks like some windows are actually missing!

I don't know how to fix since these UIs are always confusing to me hehe.

couple things

1. once again, thanx again this ui is the very best
2. there was an update on the download site showing a new version dated 4/16 but i find no notes about what might have changed

then some requests =)

1. is there a way to set the raid windows in a spot and not have them move back to the default position which is top left. i want my raid window on the right side.

2. it would be cool is dps mod and haste % showed somewhere in the line with all the resists and other stats

help files
 

im not sure if i missed the problem and the fix on one of these pages if i did im sorry..

but when i go to make a cs ticket... the pulldowns in the help files are not there... and yes i know the cs's arnt much help to begin with but there does come times when i need to put one in .... and i have up to today been switching back and forth between your ui and the defalt ... but i was wondering if there was a problem with how i installed it .. because i have all the info but when i click on the part to make a ticket.. the dropdowns to select the catigory of the ticket you want to send is blank .. please help ..

Hey !! First off wonderfull UI. I had my friend download it and hes loving it. However he has encounted a missing window we cant find anywhere. We redownloaded and deleted all folders no change. Also tried every CTRL + and ALT + command possible

The Active Quests Name/Bags/Resists Window is missing. When he first loaded the UI it was fine he alligned it all up next to the Journal Helper. Once he relogged hes got a big blank area between the characters Name/XP and the Journal Helper.

*update. We also noticed the Mana Bar is missing too. The Health Bar is showing up great but the big Blue mana bar gone


Thanks :)

The window with the quest name is "eq2ui_mainhud_ammo.xml" and the mana bar window is "eq2ui_mainhud_memorized.xml"

Try /show_window MainHUD.Inventory
and /show_window MainHUD.Memorized

The ammo file is called Inventory for it to display the inventory info it contains.

Its been a while since I loaded this UI up to make sure its all working 100% and will do so soon, along with the recent changes, also I will be adding some extra info in the for of run speed etc.

:)

I am having a problem that when I switch from one character to another, the coloring of the font in the target window is wrong when I get to the second character, and for all other character switches. Also, the implied target window is stuck on. Not sure that this is anything to do with the UI, but wondering if anyone knows what is happening and what I can do to fix it. Thanks.

The coloring far as I know is a SoE bug , I have tried everything to try and fix that but nothing works /shrug

As for the implied target window try and toggle "alt+t" at onetime that used to make it display when there was no implied target now it seems to make it dissapear somtimes lol .. After most LUD's some stuff that works fine normaly starts acting strange even thou there hasnt been any changes to the actual window ... For example in my Laffs Lite mod the Inventory window is shown as open again when you log in but last LUD it was closed and the LUD before that it was open .. and before that it was closed lol, The way it should be so like I say all very strange stuff :D

Hello!

Love the UI. I was looking for something new today and downloaded it. I got it all set up the way I wanted it but when I open bags I can only see half the bags. The buttom half is cut off and I can not acces anything in thoses slots.

Any suggestions please?

Is it possible that your last update broke experience numbers? Exp going up and down don't know why, 100,7% 99,2%, 99,3%, 0,3%
I've seen that a lot of times

Update?
 

Was wondering if this was updated to LU25 yet or when it will be? I can't use it at all to log into game and I'm pretty used to it by now and totally lost without it.

My update didnt break the exp numbers.. SoE decided to kinnda round them up at source so to speak... So I'm leaving it as it is for now

Update for LUD25 will happen as soon as the UK live servers get the update and I can see for myself exactly what where and for why It no working ;)

Good to hear you are working on the fix ASAP Laffs! A big kudos to you for picking up work on perdition's UI...Know that your work is counted upon and greatly appreciated! My guildies were pissed at me last night because I REFUSED to play the game without my beloved UI :P I can't function when SOE's updates eff the UI up and I'm glad to see you are dedicated to fixing the problems as soon as you can :) Keep up the great work!

Good luck and thanks in advance for the updating for the inventory window fix... as I am sure you are more than aware of it :D not your fault but a little dissapointed that my ding level 70 screenie has a bugged UI... life goes on

Having a hard time editing the MoTD for my guild.. it all enters in fine but it seems neither the sumbit or cancel buttons feel like being clicked ;)

one more thing... now that I have hit 70 I tried to switch over to the AAXP bar but it doesnt seem to do anything? still shows a jumbled level Dirge bar but has 40% xp in it(when my AA xp was at something like 70-90%. when the next update hits I'll check back and do a little more playing around with this one.. but tried the window in both modes (frame and titlebar, and frame only modes) and had the same effect

edit: wanted to compliment you on the change from crush/slash/pierce to haste/runspeed/dps. As a Dirge I have 3 things to do to accomplish max speed(Selos, AA, Jboots) and knowing what it is at to make sure all are up(and not bugged as it has been when logging on) has been nice... also cool to see what the haste and dps factors I have running... VERY nice info for melees of all sorts

I decided that I was bored enough to systematically rename each file until I found the offending file that was causing me to not be able to log in...and wouldn't you believe the first thing I tried fixed it :P The offending ui piece is the eq2ui_mainhud_clock just rename or move it from the folder and you can log in without crashing. I have yet ti find out if anything else is FUBAR'd but at least I can log in now without pulling my hair out ;)

Heh ??? the clock file was causing that for you ? ... Hmm ...

Thanks for you input and support guys.. To be honest I wasnt sure how many peeps were still using this version I have... Most of my attention has been going into Laffs_Lite and this been secondary as in just fixed after LUD's

So this is what is going to happen now then ... I am going to have a good look at making some improvemets to this UI .. not visual... but adding / removing stuff..

Also the Inv has had quite a big update in the way it works code wise .. no change much as how it looks etc in default... But I still means much keyboard bashing to make it work again... Now in this UI the Inv is actualy a "false" window that shows part of the Inv info / items.... I am considering changing it to be the actual Inv as in Laffs Lite...

See what happens guys either way I will get a working update out asap! ... I dont have much time these days for UI mods so please be patient, Thanks peeps :)

well you can add me to the list of very long time users i cant bring my self to change ui's as i have used this one since you made it and appreciate the work you put into it
Thankyou

Yeah, the clock was what was causing me to not be able to log in...though I guess it's attached to the quest display (not the details of what you need to do for the quest, just the quest name beside it), the extra bag slots, resistances, and the power bar :( When I renamed the clock piece and logged in I am missing all of those pieces, but I like the UI so much that I can and will deal with it until it is fixed :P As far as I can tell, the inventory window and everything else is fine except for the clock piece.

I have been dedicated to this UI since its first release, and am always pissed when a LU comes out that prevents me from using some thing haha. I used the thing for about 3 months after DoF came out until I finally looked for an update to the non-functioning goblin gambling window. I realize a lot of time and effort goes into updating these UIs, but anything you can do to fix the problems is very appreciated. Like I said before, I've grown attached to this UI after using it for so long and I've checked out many other UIs and they just pale in comparison to this one imo. Thanks for your effort and any fixes you can whip up would be great :)

Perd is my fav UI... how far away is the updated version??

;o)

Yet another long time user... without this UI I'd probably have kicked EQ2 in the bin aeons ago ;o)

Looking forward to the update ;o)

Anther long time fan
 

This is an excellent UI and have been using for a long while. Can't play EQ2 without it.

Thanks for all the hard work.

Seggo

Wow !! Thanks peeps okies I will put more effort back into this then now...

Will do my best to fix whats broken today then after I have played using this UI for a few hours I will see whats missing and possibly what needs added I have both melee and caster type toons and like to try and make the UI's functional for both ....

:D

Yup, another longtime user of this one.

I just downloaded you update and I cannot inspect anyone. I get the message that the MainHUD IndpectPlayer is not compatible with teh current client.

Just an FYI.

:)

Inspect window still doesn't work after the upgrade =(

The clock works perfect now, and all the other missing pieces (like the power bar) are back...thanks! The inspect window doesnt work like Sedden said, but thats no big deal for me right now. Also, the 'socials' button that brings up your emotes doesnt hide the emotes window when you click it a second time, again not a big deal at all, just an observation. Other than that, I'm glad it works again, and I'm diggin the new blue color and the added features! Thanks for gettin this out asap!

Delete "eq2ui_mainhud_inspectplayer.xml" from the Laffsv8 folder peeps...

I will look into whats up with the socials button..

Thanks peeps :)

the only thing i've found that didn't work in the lu25 release was the timer on the quest window. if you double click and pull up the quest journal you can see the timer but not in the quest window that you can view from the main screen.

Okies will have a look ... hard test as I dont have any quests with timers on ant toon atm so I will post file here and maybe one of you guys can test it for me pls ?

The quest timer display was changed in LU25 and now shows "Time remaining: xx.xx.xx", so you need more space now than just for the time as before.

Thanks for that gm9 .. after having a look and seeing how long the local text is I did wonder if that was going to be the case now..

So heres the file peeps..

Once again thanks for the quick update :) Another thing I noticed it that the Spel casting timer, breath bar, and the small piece with the shader/shadow toggles sometimes disappears. I had to revert back to the default spell/breath bars because I couldn't get them back heh, though I really liked the more compact bars. Also, how do you get the Combat Stats to register? I always get the error that I don't have access to some file (I'm at work though and can't remember what it is) Also, the achievement XP bar is still not working. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

You need to have the program called Combat Stats Monitor installed for the button to be able to make use of it.

Toggle "alt+u" that should make them reapear.. Different peeps seem to be getting some problems again that havent happend in about a year or so with this UI... Looking like I will have to redo some windows from scratch when I get chance.

:D

So where do you get this Combat Stats Monitor before i go insane looking for it hehe

i'll have a look straight away. fyi easiest way to get a quest with a timer is to take anyone of the monk trials quests in tfd. you can then just zone out and not be locked out for more than 20 minutes.

just tried it, i can see the timer fine but it actually is outside the quest window a bit and bleeds into the bar between the quest area and the stats area. still is readable. i'm running at 1600 x 1200 if that matters.

thanx much.

Guild MOTD window doesn't work, you can't click on Update or hit Enter to post a new MOTD. This happens both on this mod and laff's lite.

Sorry to hear that but I dont have a modded guild window in either UI :p They both use the default....

So if you find this file eq2ui_mainhud_guild.xml in the LaffsV8 folder then pls remove it...

Thanks
 

I would just like to say THANKS for such a great UI. Me and several of my friends use it and wouldn't play eq2 without it. :nana:

THANK YOU!!!

Kool pleased to hear it :D Thanks for your suport peeps

Ack!
 

Well Laffs nice to see this mod is still being supported. =) but i lost my gaming HD... so I'm reconstructing it. one thing i can't seem to find is the Pedographics zip file that you used to have linked because i loved the neon purple. any chance i can get the purple file (the neon one) or the whole zip file? the one i knew that was linked in the message was only one certain file.. i'd like to get the purple hehe thanks!

Krylosis

Hmm okies .. have you looked inthe addons section for the UI ? .... failing that I can dig through my drive and just maybe have it tucked away somplace ... It was in a pack of about 6 different skins far as I reacall likes ... have a look on here again 1st m8 if not then let me know and I will try and find it on my system working on the asumption I still have it that is =/

EDIT

Do you recall the name of the zip file??
