quick reply..thx.. the color part is easy now that i understand the /eXtreme.ProgressStyles.HYellow part.. that is the one thing that i didnt understand about changing, till now I think i understand why ya change that. Btw, if I use the 00FF00 it would show green.. got it as red with CC0000. Just letin ya know. nice details on how to do it..thx =) ..

About the debuffs.. I know where they are, as they are effect1-4 .. fully noticed that before posting, what i'm really having issues with doing is changing those debuff's to mini hotkeys that would allow me to drag-drop a macro key into them, for easy healing/buffing of party members.

If it's not easy or posable to do the mini-hotkeys in place of the debuffs, what about changing debuffs to buttons, where button one would access skill specifed in hotkeybar10/slot01..button two would access skill in hotkeybat10/slot02..etc.. so I could just drag macros to hotkey bars, and they would be usable in the group window?

By you telling me where the effects are, maybe that has something to do with how to change them to hotkeys.. and if so, sorry.. but i missed that =) .. anyways.. if i can get someone to show me/tell me how to do it with 1 botton, I'll puntch in all the rest of the group member hotkeys inplace of debuffs, and post as a choice of option, as I know all of ya coders are busy. Just trying to help and what not =)

OOPS yea I guess #00FF00 wold be green lol..

Sadly its not possible to drag a hot key to a self made place:( You can make a button and put in its place. You would have to make your own style though as them icons are super small and I don't think any size font would fint into it.

hmm, well.. what about the idea of having set buttons placed with te party members, basicly making button1 run whatever is placed in hotkeybar10/slot01 .. and so on? if that's posable, and we just need icons for it being that small, well that's pretty easily resolved as i have some graphic knoldge, I just need to know what graphic program to use to edit/create DDS files or whatever will work for the button images. Some people have said Photoshop, but i have Photoshop CS and it tells me that the DDS files arent compatable. I currently was viewing the DDS files with a program called XnView, as it opens all types of graphic files for viewing, but it sucks for editing.

After i make the images, then i would just need to know how to make this so called "Own Style" sence i'm not at all sure how to do that (I'm assuming the style is the DDS file that holds all the graphics, or is it the layout of the butons and all?).
If I knew how to place just 1 button that is directed to a specifed hotkey on a specified hotbar, well..then I think we would be in business. Any help would be great. I know I may be asking alot, but I'm just asking for the first steps, so i can get it going for anyone that may want it. thanks!

Just reloaded this UI onto my computer after I reloaded EQ2 due to having memory leak.

My problem is I right click on the chat box to set chat options and it locks up the game to the point I have to hard restart my computer. Any known reason why this would happen?

Sounds like a corrupt ini to me

and i fix this how?

Personaly, I would redownload the UI, and use the EQ2.ini and the char ini that comes with it, and see if that works. If ya still have an issue, then try removing all code from the eq2.ini except for the following...

There were some things in that ini that messed with my PC, being the letterbox and whatnot, that i had to set manualy to make the UI work property, could be something like that, but sounds more like the char's ini more then that. Just something to try.

Nooob here; I'm having problems locating the corresponding eq2ui.ini file within the contents of the extreme folder. Please help this ui noob~

It's inside a folder within the UIs name folder.. here is the dir path
..\EverQuest II\UI\eXtreme\copy_and_paste_these_files_to_eq2_main_folder\

within this folder, you want to use the eq2.ini that is for the resolution you will be using. hope that helps ya.

Temil for the win!!

Just an update to the board. I found out what was wrong. Instead of copying the cut and paste to the eq directory I was simply copying what was in the file and then deleting what was in my character uisettings and pasting from the file instead of copying whole file over.

For some reason this was causing me to lock up. WHY I dont know but I tested it on multiple characters and thats what was doing it.

Might want to put that message in big red letters on the ui instructions to NOT simply paste from character ui settings into their existing file.

What ver are you running? The overflow issue was fixed 2 or 3 updates back and the bags where fixe 1 or 2 updates back.

In any case the over flow label and Icon will show up ontop of the mini inventory when its not expanded.

For the bags if you have the new update then maybe your settings.ini file is bad.



I have downloaded all the ver that i see last 1.12.0 which said fixed it, i just redownloaded it and still doesnt show the slot. Would it be best to download the entire UI again?

Dok

Is there a guide for how to use the Performance Panel? Specifically, how to use the 3 presets.

Thanks,

I loved the UI with 2 thing sI might suggest,.. is it possible tom ake the backgrounds ALL fadable? I like all the information but I feel boxed in by all the backgrounds, I like playing with translucent windows and I can't fade the background on 90% of those. Maybe a color mod for no background?? also one of my friends mentioned,.. it would be nice to see the percentages at the end of the bar instead of middle of it

I don't know what to tell you then. I have over flowed more then once and it shows up on mine and others. If you are using 1.12.6 it should be working.

Thats the only way you can download it. There is no patch files, its all or nothing. If you downloading from the addon part you are wrong.

Untill I get the control pannel out you can open up. settings\vido\video_preset1-3.xml and look for lines that read Parent.<bla bla>
then after them lines you will see client settings. Note what settings are there, then go to your main eq2 folder and open up eq2 recents.ini I think is the names Find the same comand and copy the value over. If that command isn't in there then that means its set to default and u can take it out of the preset file.

Oh' yea thats not a good idea as the .ini file is so picky as it is.

Hmm a quick and nasty way would be to rename or delete images/perdigraphics.dds

Look for an update on the 13th. We've been raiding so much I havn't had a lot of time to get things worked out.


Things to look forward to:

debuff icons on the stat button.
added stat strip to the maint window.(mostly for melee)
Update to the some of the more used windows.
1024 x XXX Option layout.
New HO window.
Umm more but I don't have my notes here lol

Landiin, that all being said, I went and used a PreformanceXML creator..and made the xmls, and then opened both, and copied over only the details on what will change in the game as I wanted all the lowest setings, sence i run 2 accounts on 1 PC, so I keep one at lowest posable setings. anyways, the problem i have been having is that in the UI, it shows up with only the square, and not the Preset 1 ..etc, even thought I only copied over the details from the recent, which was converted by the XML maker program. Here is a screenshot of what it's showing as, and also a log of the xml file, with all the code I changed being highlighted. can ya tell me what I did wrong??


EDIT: I forgot to also ask, where in the UI is the setings for the text and all for when you find a quest item, and you examine it, and you get options to pick to start the quest and all? .. they are sometimes hard to see, and would just like to change the text color of those, if that's posable? .. or even just put a glowing outline around them when there are options to pick, so I can see them a little better? I looked into the EXAMINE part of the UI, and it looks like it might be in the EMANIME window, but i cant seem to find he seting, so I think I'm just missing it slightly. thanks again!

Hmm Temil that all looks good and correct. Make sure when you save it that u use the utf-8 format. Maybe thats whats doing it. I know i read somewhere around here that if you don't funky things will happen.

tried that, still no good, and i made 100% sure it was saving using UTF-8 format. no major issue really, sence the botton stil works and it changes my setings, just anoying to not have the PRESET label next to them =)

Now that I am fully awake I see the issue:)

Size="14,15"

Try Size="67,15"

There seems to be no "Patron" button in the guild window, I couldnt make a Patron yesterday, I had to have someone else do it lol. I know that LU#13 is getting rid of Patrons but its still kinda anoying =P

Also it may just be me, but I think the health bar needs to be just a bit bigger, as in my health bar. thanx =)

Please read other posts before posting a problem, the no patron button was removed for the prepping for LU13, where all members will be patrons. therefore, no need for the button.

Is there anyway to fix the maintained spell window, mine seems to not shrink down to size when i reach 13 buffs, so i have no idea what buffs 14+ are

Thanks

Hobbs

Update 1.11.7
 

Update 1.12.7

===============

• MOG! Added beta support for 1024 x XXX.
• All new Maintained window, now comes with a mini stat strip for tanks.
• Upgraded Market, Skills, Exp and Startbutton windows. ( used profits icon style for the effects icons )
• Auto-banking has been fixed.
• Many more tweaks here and there.

Hmm the 'maintained icons' should shrink when icon 13 shows up. Are you talking about the maintained window or the effects window? As a guard I have never came close to having 14 maintained buffs up at one time. AND my god if you have to keep up with 14+ maintained buffs tell me what class you are so I don't roll and alt of that class lol.

Well here's a larger hotbar for those that were asking. 35 pixel height and width per icon. I think default ui is 40 so this is close. NOTE-This is untested as servers are down and got bored so you guys lucked out.

:nana: :nana: YAY!!! Thanks so much, now I will no longer have to squint at the spell I am trying to cast, I will be sure to report back if i found anything wrong. :nana: :nana:
How long does it usually take for the UI to be tested and put back on the downloads page, I came here an hour, maybe two, ago and saw the update, I went to the page and it wasn't there yet, I goofed around for a while, come back, and still nothing hehe. Hopefullly soon! :D

WOW, I don't know its still not list. I put it up at 7:30AM and its now 12:25PM. 5 hrs hmm, If this is the kind of service we are going to get now that eqinterface is part of ogaming I'll start my own web site for update. 5hrs is just not acceptable.

ooooh there it is :) lol I am just itching to try *my* screen res, and the bigger hotbars.. yayness!!!!

Um, problem.. when I click on the attachment for bigger hotbars.... i get the XML file thing on IE, like, what it says, rather then the download

ok i chose to save file as, maybe that will work

Oh, beta for my screen res, I was about to post that there was so 1024*XXXX in the copy and paste folder

I forgot to change the backdrop back to the default one, so if u liked that one you'll have to get it from the background pack or and older update file.

1. Was it intended for the icons to be slightly visable?
2. Was it intended for me to have no power bar? And Im not sure if the information it is providing me is correct lol
hehe
The bigger hotbars seem to be working just fine :)

I'm a warden...with my five group buffs, then 4 buffs for the MT, then snare, dot, regens...well my maintained spells get up there in number. But for some reason it's not shrinking down anymore. I'll check again with this update and see if it fixes it and get back to you

edit..

Ok some things i noticed...
no power bar
new HO is so small, i need window's magnifier to see what icon is up
my maintained spells window still does not shrink on the 14th spell
and is there any way to get the hotbars back to being horizontal, with 6 of them and not 3 vertical bars?

i agree with post above mine, while th new HO looks tight, it is really tiny, and while I was in a group today I often missed it completely I was having a heck of a time as a healer, not being able to see how much power I had with out targeting myself hehe

1. Yes it is inteded, once u get hit with one of the dots, the icon will light up bright.

2. If you turn off frames you will have your power bar back. ( My bad, I should of thought to tell you peeps that:P I thought it would default to off )

Fine, I'll make the HO icons bigger, but really once u get use to it its not that hard to see.. Well for me any way. But I will make em bigger. And no, before you say it; I'm not young with 20/20 lol..

You are correct the the icons in the maint window no longer have the code on the 13th icon. I'll get that back in there asap..

Ok some one rated eXtreme 4 stars :mad:


So if you havn't rated it yet, go give it a 5 star because we all know its the best :nana:

Also if you havn't mark it as a favorite, we are up to 54 now 2nd from the bottom. ( we can do better) We are climbing in the downloaded rateings too:) a couple 1000 more downloads and we'll make the top 10 lol

Def a 5 stars in my book but after having installed the updated version this morning... only the top two icons of each vertical hotbar in bottom right corner are present. Something I can fix?

None of the hotbar code has changed, unless you downloaded and installed the bigger ones heidrickla posted. Then I don't know, I havn't had a chance to look at them.
