couple issues
 

hiya,

just finished playing the game after i ran the update for Patch 14.

Just want to let you know that I love the extra tabs on the journal ).

also found a couple issues..most of them cosmetic.

A number of the pop up boxes( new quests, rewards, broker, ect) are coming up with a white border and/or a grey background. The health bar on the target is already in the new posting. main problem i am having is the npc traders and mender, when i have more then one tab on the npc(buy sell repair) all the tabs show the buy only...i cant sell or repair. Unfortunately my packs are getting full and and my armor is getting rather tattered ( /e sighs. Understand the time constaints...got one of those jobs that pay the bills also. Thanks for all the hard work on the interface...its wonderful...now if SOE would stop changing the game.

Stymia :o

missing health
 

the health bar in the main target window is missing, so is the mana bar, but besides that its doing good.

Without looking I know what the problems are your having now... I forgot to change a referances to Laffs style's that I been working on and this UI dont use that... I will edit them tonight and post update for you guys :)

Couple of small items...

My wife brought up her /petition window last night with this UI and noticed that the trouble-report category text was very dark and difficult to read. The window itself is unskinned.

Also, if I don't want the UI to show while zoning, is it a simple matter of deleting the eq2ui_hud_zoning.xml file?

Since I prefer the original inventory window, deleting the Perdition version restores this, but the coin icons are missing at the bottom of the inventory window (the number of those coins is correctly presented, however) and in the default merchant window as well.

Great UI. :) Thank you for all of your effort!

Oks I will take a look at the font that window uses...

Yeh delete that zoning file.

As for the default windows they should be using the new style now... Wait a few days to see if its SoE that missed somthing out or if I need to add somthing in so to speak lol

And thanks for the thanks m8

Lu14
 

Laffs,
I installed the UI from your most recent upolad (i belive it's for LU 14) i went ingame to test all the windows out and found the merchant window was not working, I went to your laffs lite ui to get the window fix. now, I first installed all 6 of the files for that and i lost my main hud inventory with the equipment slots in it. I deleted, re-installed didn't include that file for LU14 fix, and it's back. do you plan to add in the fixed LU14 files for this ui in the zip?

PS: i still won't use any other ui, though i've shifted a few of the other windows around (bag and inventory windows) love the work bud!

Oks so its just the merchant window what broken in this UI then?

Tier 6 Harvest info?
 

Love this UI Laff, but I noticed that tier 6 harvest info is missing. Any plans on fixing that soon? The other 2 things that slightly bugged me were that if I have me targeted, the font or size of the info about my mit and mana is off, it cuts off the mana max #'s. The 2nd thing is the inventory, while some may like the "streamlined" inventory look, I am sure there are some of us who prefer a reg inventory window. Which file should I delete or replace to fix both of these issues?

Thanks!

Hey Laffs, awesome job on the UI. I've been using it for some time now - shame on me for not thanking you sooner.

I seem to have developed a problem with the broker window (and a few others, I'll compile a list). Everything works, however the "background" is bright yellow. I had to fix this once before, but I can't seem to find it now (I just scanned through 15 pages - arg).

I believe the fix was to copy a image file into the images directory, however that's just about the extent of what I remember. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Thanks in advance, and many thanks for all your hard work Laffs.

I've been trying to consolidate a list of bugs so that I don't nickel-and-dime you to death, Laffs. :) This is for Alt Perdition only, as I have not tested the other derivatives.

1. Coin icons do not appear in trade window or bank window. They ARE visible in the inventory window. Figured they'd use the same image source, that's odd.

2. The player search feature under the Community tab on the EQII button is semi-functional. You can search by name, but the drop downs are broken.

3. Many people report that their casting bar disappears or that they do not get the custom presets tabs for graphics. This is because the ALT-U player window is reverse the default and most other UI's. e.g. if I switch from Alt Perdition to the default UI, my player window is toggled "off." If I turn it on and switch back to Alt Perdition the casting bar and preset tab are missing. I have to toggle it again to restore them.

4. In 1600 x 1200, the buff bar get's overrun on the right edge when the first row fills up before wrapping to row two. Please see the attached picture to understand what I'm talking about.



Thanks again for making such a usable and attractive UI. I know modders get discouraged because the UI changes happen so often it's impossible to stay ahead of them. At the same time, the UI consumers get discouraged because the modders quit or move on to other hobbies and we watch our favorite UI's go unmaintained and abandoned. It's nice to see these continuing to get some TLC.

1. The coins icons do use a different source...
2. I got a fixed version of that
3. That had to be that way to get the casting bar to show up, If you make your own "truely" custom window then you got to use one of SoE's window's to get your own to show up or keep typing in show_window etc everytime you log in.
4. Buff bar has been a pain from day one.. At least now its on a volume page as requested so I can fix this problem on this UI now, Just havent gotton round to it as yet affter being swamped out with all the major new changes.

I will be loading up and playing all 3 UI's today to make a list of whats still broken and hopefully get round to making some corrections..

Also thanks for all the praise.

Target Window
 

Great UI....I have been using it for a long time now.

I am having one problem I was hoping someone could assist me with.

I play a conjuror and I like to resize my target window so I can see my pets health and my stats. The window stays resized until I target someone or something, then it seems to go back to its default state.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Sombody else had this problem quite awhile ago... Have you looked through all of this thread to see if I did post patch for it? I am sure I did.... If there not one here then I will do another, Let me know :)

Just some quick feeback on yesterday's update.

1. The buff window does indeed wrap properly now. Thanks!
2. The Community Window works as advertised.
3. Coin icons are fixed on player-to-player trade window, but I noticed they remained broken when I had the market window open in my house, and also when selling to an NPC merchant.
4. My wife pointed out that she had a problem with the customer service (/petition window) but I did not get a chance to confirm it. Something about the text when it forces the user to search the knowledgebase before opening a ticket being too dark to see. Again, not confirmed.

My personal bug list is down to basically the cosmetic coin icon issue. Otherwise, the UI works flawlessly for me...Thanks so much!

The buff window fits well now. I´ve only got the problem that I can´t open the context-menu by right-clicking. It´s annoying if an illusion is cast upon you ;)

Thanks Laffs...Found the patch and it worked great. :D

Target window
 

Hey you great UI modder... I just re-loaded with the latest ui, and I've now lost target window stability agian.

in short and english: the window is again automatically reducing it's size at log in only, it will survive a zone . even with the mod you put in before could you make another window again =) apparently something was changed in LU16 i'm gonna try and move an older target window i know works and test it but thought i'd give you a heads up =)

Thanks again for the work you do!

Krylosis.

My implied target window doesn't work at all =(
I get it to show using the keybinding, but whenever I select anything that's targetting something else, it won't show up >.<

Anyone have any clues?

Edit: Didn't work all day yesterday, or today, even when I posted this I tried it. Soon as I posted it, it all of a sudden starts working o.O And, I had the window disabled, and it's showing >.>

Creepy, but working, so, I'm happy :)

Edit edit: And after I posted that it stopped working >.<

Also, eq2ui_inventory_store also appears to be broken. Deleting this restores the default, and all seems to work fine, but I miss my "Find it" button. :)

No rush on my end...I'm sure you're enjoying LU16 too, Laffs!

Regards,

Well I logged onto the US servers to aquire the files yesterday and test what what I had changed...... And guess what!!! ...... All the godamn servers were down!!

So after trying for like 1 hour I gave up

Went and played on UK servers with LUD16 files on a server still using LUD15 and guess what again random crash after crash.... So basicly I got nowhere at all ......

Hopefully today will be different!

probably because the servers were down with the lu16 patch heheheehe i can live with my issues till you fix it, :) and laffs remember im set at 1600 by 1200 for the target window. but again laffs you ROCK! and we just want you to know we tell you the problems to help you make a better product.

hey laffs, I thought I read on your laffs lite that you are working on your own laffs work. I want to offer my help for your 1600 by 1200. I do not know much of XML but I have a great monitor that works 1600 by 1200 like a champ. so if you need me to test your UI's at that resolution I'd be willing =). this is for anything you do =) i can play with it.... just want to help out in some way

Krylosis

Thanks...

What would be of a help to me would be if you have space to make a new toon and set up the UI windows in the correct positions for that res again and post it for me to put in the download folder... Reason a new toon is required is so that you realy do get a clean settings file to start with :) thanks again

not a problem, i have space in many places hehehe i have some on your lovely server of splitpaw, my own on blackburrow =) I'll get on that today =) plus i can also work on other things but you'll have your new ini file later today =) looking up pda's for christmas

Krylosis

1600 by 1200 UI settings ini
 

hey laffs, i made a few positional changes, but it looks very close to the original perdition, and your positions and window sizes :) I think you will like this! heheh if you want i can upload a pic that it is based off of (but i've deleted the new char, since i just wanted to get this ini to you. the Target window resizes on log in. resizes down to the smaller size even after saving at the larger size. =)

Krylosis

PS: this is a true zip file =) I can't upload the ini directly hehe. oh and this is using your most recent zip of the UI =)

Edit: a few things, the petition window, the text is stlll very hard to see. (perhaps change it to whie? also the show hood button doesn't work anymore it will remove but not put back

Oks mate thanks for the settings file I have it in the folder ready for the next upload I do .... And the other issues are on my todo list lol ... todo list is more like the size of a telphone directory now lol
