Confused
 

Maybe it's my medication not working, but I thought Zonx is a woman? the icon by his/her name certainly looks like a girl troll... *shrugs* well....just a odd question....

THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE ZONX!! YOU ROCK!!!! :D

~Jum

Maybe he is. maybe he isn't. I certainly don't know of many women with the name of ... er, well not gonna say, that's his/her call. Even though he leaves it all over his work ^_^

ps: i hope someone can help me with this little problem

The very first post in this thread has a link to the EQ2MAPs auto-updater. Install and run that. Also note they require Microsoft.Net 1.1.

Doh! If only I had this for the Nek j-boots run. :) Got turned around 'cause I couldn't read my compass... now to figure out how to rearange my windows.

<muttering>
if I squish this one a 'lil... maybe drop a chat window... xp bar... hmm, it never goes up anyway... it can go... who says 640x480 is too small..
</muttering> :D

Thanks for the update!

p.s. - no i don't really run at 640... just feels like it some days.

Friends List problem..
 

I know I don't personally delete people often, but I had one person I tried to delete earlier, BUT it does not delete the proper selected name, it seems to pick a random one on my list. I tried this with some other names to see and it was the same thing.

Members of my Guild mentioned it works fine with the Default UI.

I am using using your 3.6 Version.

Just thought I'd mentioned this. : )

Keep up the great work!!

Wheres the character.ini files???
 

Hey Zonx, Downloaded Nightfall 3.6 today and did a full install and all i get is default windows in the locations where all the other versions were loaded. Figured i would need to redo my character. ini file but the download doesnt seem to have it included this time? I run the (1200x1600) ui and i know that i followed the directions to a tee.

any ideas?

Istoff

Istoff, check your eq2ui.ini and make sure it points to your custom UI directory.

Amberlia I'll at the "delete friends" function. Can't think of any reason it would work differently.

Do you mean the eq2.ini
 

that we have to create? or is there a file called eq2ui.ini? Im looking for it but not seeing it.

Istoff

I figure your talking about the eq2.ini file you wanted me to create.

cl_ui_subdir UI/
cl_ui_skinname Fetish

It is saved as eq2.ini in my main EQ2 folder.

Sometimes UI builder/the game gets wierd about the INI file. Try switching the two lines around and see if that helps.

IE:
cl_ui_skinname Fetish
cl_ui_subdir UI/

My bad, you have the right file name. Note

cl_ui_skinname YOURCUSTOMUIDIRECTORY

needs to match whtever you titled the directory you extracted the mod to.

Another common problem... Notepad sometimes saves the file as eq2.ini.txt. Make sure you're showing all file extensions.

Guild XP Numerical scewed
 

Thought I might bring this to your attention:


As you can see, the guild XP is Slightly less than 61%. Your guildXP numerical reads as 68.8% and it looks like the first part is all smooshed, with the % peeking through. I beleive I should be reading 60.8% (mousover says 61%)

Plus I wanted to make sure it wasnt just me, in case someone else is getting this also.

The Guild XP Major bar is actually kinda bugged, which forced me to do some really cludgy hacking to get the percentage to match the tooltip. Not real surprised its not allways accurate. Think its only an issue if the 1s didget is 0.

Already spoke with the SOE coder that developed the window about this. Apparently a final rev of the XML didn't get pushed down, so the GameData.xml file we got and the guild XP bar is lacking a new DD that fixes the major bubble. I expect we'll get a tweaked guild window with new GameData.xml soon. Untill then, I'm not gonna dork with it ;)

Logical explanation. Works for me!

Since switching to 3.6 from 3.5 the group buttons no longer seem to work, ie "Invite" "disband" "search players LFG" any reason why that might be?

Also I still have an old problem with the re centering the camera in 3rd person view by pressing "5" on the number pad, works ok in 1st but have had this since about ver. 3.3 I think

Still the best mod out there though, good work Zonx

Ummm, yeah. UI's dont control the camera dood. This is an SOE bug, not a UI bug. Sorry feller!

Can't move target window
 

Everything else works fine but I don't seem to be able to move the target window (it's unlocked). Any idea what's wrong?
thanks,
Feebb

IsCancel
 

First off, thanks for making this and supporting it. Not only do I not have the technical know-how to do something like this, I don't have the patience to deal with all the inquiries and demands.

On to the question for anyone who knows what they're doing...

I'm a big fan of the bag strip and like to have it up all the time. So far I figured out how to make it show up on log in (looked at how you made the clock show), and have made it persistent with onhide="visible" (or whatever the exact command was, I got it from the included doc).
I think, however, this is sometimes blocking escaping other windows. If I have a bag or the inventory window up and hit escape often it will not escape unless I click on the window first. Is there a better way to make it persistent? I tried to use IsCancel but it never worked. I suspect that it may be because I have no idea where to put it or what the exact syntax would be.

Thanks!

Zonx... Just thought I'd post and say everything is working great. Thanks for the update and thanks for all your hard work.

Ok Still having issues
 

Zonx, I tried again today to set up Nightfall V6 and i took DC's suggestion on the EQ2.ini file and reversed the 2 lines of text, Also Verified that the .ini was the only file extention. To no avil i still get all the windows in the correct places in default window settings mode. Im running Windows ME if that has anything to do with it? I can load up Nightfall V5 into the same folder and the UI loads as its supposed to load.

I'm not new to the installing UI mods and i walk thru others in my guild on how to install via ventrilo / teamspeak, Your very talented and i really do apricate this mod and how well it works, thats why its frustrating me to no end that its not working for me now. i do run the 1600x1200 version of Nightfall and all the other versions have contained the server_character_eq2_uisettings(1600-1200).ini in the download. if this file is in the download im not seeing it and i have ran a serch for it too, Is there anything else i can try???

Istoff

chat messages ?
 

Hi im having a slight problem with my chat running into my scroll bar. I was wondering could that be with your UI or could that be with the new patch?I can see chat fine if i dont mouse over it,but when i mouse over it and im getting chat messages the words run underneath the right scroll bar in chat.

That is normal for the stealth chat mode in the UI. Reference post 322 that explains it.

The FetishNightfall.doc that came in the UI's zip file says to delete

eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml

and rename

_simple_eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml
to
eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml

in order to replace it and revert back to the simple chat window that was used in version 3.4 and before so that you will not have any stealth scroll bar or input area.

Several Replies in One
 

fbaggy, I'll have to double-check the custom group buttons. SOE was dorking with how scripted chat commands work. Might have broke something.

Feebb, if your windows are unlocked but unmovable, you've got a bugged serversettings.ini. A replacement can be found in the FetishClassic thread. You'll have to reposition all your windows if you install that file.

Burlen, since you've made the window persistant, the easiest way deal with the ESC issue is to remove the WC_CloceButton object from BagStrip.

Istoff, no version of any of my UIs has EVER contained a server_settings file. Maybe you're confusing Nightfall with the hybrid NightSteal set that uses elements of my UI. I can't think of any reason why 3.5 would load but 3.6 wouldn't when using the same directory. Is it possible you've installed FetishClassic 3.6 by mistake? It does LOOK like the default UI.

Kreator, what The Griffon said. In addition, you can avoid the need to mouseover the main chat window by turning your titlebar on. This will disable chatinput stealthing for that chat window.

Hmmm.. Sounds like maybe .. the UI is trying to close that window, but since it cannot (due to visible=true alltha time) it gets hung up. Not thinking of a fix off the toppa my head. its late and im tired.

EDIT: I just noticed that ZOnx replied it it himself. Imma be quiet then
