it worked
 

had tried to save the map files the last time I installed. I do follow the instructions and delete the files in the directory, but didn't want to have to redownload 357 files for the maps.

completely wiped the directory and recopied and it is working fine.
Thanks

Realy you dont need to delete the folders that are within the LAFFSV8 folder itself.. Just all the actual "files" that are contained in LAFFSV8 folder, That way no need to redownload maps etc.

Reason you need to delete stuff to start with is that I may have removed say 1 or 2 files, so if you dont delete them all and just overwrite them you still have the redundant ones left over that havent been changed and then you start to get problems with the UI....

But from my perspective its much easier to just say "Delete the entire contents" as I dunno what other stuff you may or may not have placed in there that may cause problems with an update :)

Hope that makes a bit more sense now...

Thanks
 

late reply, but..Thanks for fixing the harvest window!

Things I've noticed:
1, the letterbox settings won't stay put, so as a result constantly having to reset, and move UI windows.

2, The compas and perfoemance settings windows don't stay put.

3, The bank window doesn't stay put.

4, The guild manager doesn't show guild bank activities, but it does in the default UI.

5, There are gaps between the target, health, and power windows that don't want to fill in. Will try to put up a SS of this.

Also, I would still like to know how to get the siver/grey coloration that is shown in the first screen shot on the download page for this UI.

Thanks :)

the letter box.
 

go into the eq2.ini and delete the settings for it, and it will not be there anymore. (that eq2.ini is not changed by in game setting changes.

the issue on possible missing part, look to add the FRAME into the window using the window settings. =) I hope that helps some

Krylosis.

Thanks Krylosis. That helped alot.
I've noticed 1-3 little balls in the upper left corner of the target windodw when ^ arrow mobs are targetted, including the frames for heroic and epic type mobs. What are these for? Just wondering. Also I noticed that all the slots in the first group of the raid window all say "Longestnameposs" and show lvl 25, with various class icons and health and mana bars. Will this self correct next time i get in a raid group, or is it something that needs to be fixed?

hmm
 

well the indication in the target window is part of the ui's higher set of encounter indications. this is normal.

the longestnamepossible bit is just a place holder and when you get a raid they go away. just like when you first go into the game =)

Thanks Krylosis for helping peeps out here m8 its appriciated :)

As you may well know I havent been about much as of late, But I should get round to ironing out the bugs in the UI's somtime soon I hope thanks for your support guys.

Thanks again Krylosis. Still wondering about the color though.

Try this one m8

Unzip and place it in the "Images" folder overwriting the existing one :)

Thanks Laffs it looks great.

The implied target window keeps putting itself right over the main hot bar when I log in instead of staying where it's put. This happens with all my toons. How can this be fixed?

Hmm havent had that problem likes, Its not saving is position as you know.... I am working on some alt target and implied windows atm anyway should have somthing working properly soon (well they is working but im not 100% happy with the layout atm)

Lol. Cool. Look forward to seeing them. Thanks again Laffs. :nana:

i have prob with exp bar. When i ding 70 or when i gain AP point i cant exchange this for AP exp bar. and i think tradeskill and normal exp overlaped and i cant see nothing. :(

Make sure you dont have a file called "eq2ui_gamedata.xml" in the LAFFSV8 folder is so delete it please and let me know what the result is.....

I found that file in the last version I uploaded and It should not be there likes lol :)

Nothing shows in the bank log in the guild manager window. It's not a matter of how the settings are set up in the guild. I"m an officer, as is my roommate who also uses the UI, and one of his toons is a co-leader in the guild.
Any thoughts?

Laffs, the guild bank log issue results from not adding the new OnShow and OnSelect scripts SOE added to the default window. These scripts force the window to load the bank log. If memory serves, the OnShow script is applied to the Bank Log window and an OnSelect script is applied to the menu on that page.

Thanks for that Zonx mate :)

The adjustments that I had made to the guild bank in this UI was just "skining" it anyways, so it got kinnda overlooked so to speak lol

So peeps please just delete "eq2ui_inventory_guildbank.xml" from the Laffsv8 folder for the time being.... Untill such a time when I get back to updating this UI properly.. So much todo in real life at the moment to keep my head above water, So this has to take 2nd place atm ... sorry guys, Doing my best :)

Understand totaly, RL happens. Thanks for the info guys. :D

Love the UI so far. Couple of questions please:

Anyone know how I can get the double exp bar - ie one for adventuring and one for crafting?

Tthe bar with the stats that is shown in the first image - str int wis etc? I dont see that bar. How do I get it?

And last but not least how do i get the more streamlined looking map? I have the EQ2 Map thing and updated it after I loaded the UI Mod so it looks current just bulkier than the screenshot.

I am a newb to mods. This was very easy to install - thanks for being kind to us computer challenged folks.

In window options (by right clicking on the window) toggle the view settings ie "None" , "Frame only" etc that will change what the windows actualy display..

The small map you see was a mini map plugin that one got broken along time ago, So has been removed.. But as far as I know there is either an update to it or another version for download in the Eq2 map section, Full instructions for its instalation and use will be there..:)

Thanks SO much I will look for that.

What about have two exp bars showing at the same time?

Also the Stats I have showing under my mini bag bar at the top do not include the Wis, Int, Str, Agi etc stats nor does it have the gold and weight stats like is shown in the screenshot. Any idea where I get those?

I totally love your UI. I got it all set up as best I could last night and it made a huge difference to me gameplay wise. I was enjoying my newb experience with EQ2 already - your UI just made it 100 X's better. I have everything streamlined with more viewable screen space. I play a healer and love the group bar - I may actually be able to ensure people live now in PVP since I can find them!!

As below

Also try resizing the windows mentioned with the stuff missing, As I guess you havent used the character settings file..


Pleased you like the UI anyways lol :)

Actually I tried changing the title bar to none, frame only etc. Did not seem to make a difference. I am loosing my casting bar also and I have tried the alt +u thing but no go yet still working on that. Still dont have coins and weight showing.

I did rename the server_charactername file but I read in the forum where you said to take the (1200x1024) off the name of the file....I failed to do that so I will try that also and see if it resolves stuff.

If I want the clock to have those extra buttons do I take the xml file from the alternate folder and place it in the Laff's folder to get that? I tried and it did not seem to change the clock.

Still love the mod just trying to tweak stuff to make it work best for me. Thank you for all the help.

Aaxp?
 

hi mate, thouight I had posted this yesterday, but i forgot... or dreamt it!

Awesome work as normal, but are you planning on doing anything with aaxp - like adding a bar for it?

In a perfect world I think I would like to see it beneath the current XP bar, instead of the gold/silver/weight section - maybe even have those switchable?
