What gm said^

When the instructions say to unzip to your customUI folder, it doesn't specifically mean that, but just whatever folder you may be using. So yes, just unzip the compilation into your already existing folder.

Currently does not appear to work. I've removed everything in my custom UI directory and tried this alone by itself and it brought up a blackish window. When adjusting the sliders (background, frame, etc.) I could see there is the outline of what is probably supposed to be there, but nothing is in those spots. Tried multiple times with different mods and it does NOT work with any mods at all (standalone, no journal). If installed with just about anything else, the infocenter will show up on the start button list, but will not do anything when clicked (it does close the startmenu as if something was clicked, but that's it).

Has a patch bugged something in this? I had it working in ProfitsUI a few months ago (5 or 6).

I think gm9 said somewhere that my InfoCenter is incompatiable with ProfitUI but I've got no clue currently.

Make sure you have your eq2ui_custom.xml file setup correctly. That part is very important.

It's incompatible insofar as it is integrated into ProfitUI, both with XML and path changes, which means installing your download in addition without removing the integrated InfoCenter will produce the black window. But the actual information in the InfoCenter is pretty much identical between our versions (haven't recently checked your updates though).

Sorry I wasn't clearer, I am not using Profit UI currently. The big problem is that it did not even work alone by itself. Would like it to run with the minor mods I do have though. Any reason why it might not pop up when clicking the button? Here is my custom file:

The infocenter button appears on the menu, but does nothing when clicked.

Is your eq2ui_custom.xml named correctly? The one supplied in the ZIP file needs to be renamed after being extracted. Just double checking :)

Updates coming "soon" for added content, etc, for the new expansion...

I just installed your journal and it works with that one...however I have no text in the content area. All the buttons are there and working fine, but the content area just shows a message such as:

Parent.Parent.Parent.Infocenter...etc.etc.

Any clues?

Apparently this "rare case" is not nearly as rare as it used to be because I'm number two:

If you're using a UI that has the eq2ui.xml file you need to make sure that <include>eq2ui_custom.xml</include> is added to the list.

Mine wasn't and I spent a couple hours this morning trying to figure out why the InfoCenter wouldn't work.

I'm probably a rare case...but it's worth a mention.

Find this tidbit on the main thread (the "not supposed to be support" thread). FIXED IT INSTANTLY. This was probably the problem the whole time.

PLEASE ADD THIS HELPFUL HINT TO YOUR MAIN TEXT AREA IF YOU WANT MORE PEOPLE TO USE YOUR INFOCENTER!

Glad you got it fixed.

I can't really help old UI's being outdated and not having that line of code. However, I will take your advise and add this useful tidbit for others to see.

Hi, I just downloaded this and the quest journal. I'm getting the same thing as a lot of the other posts about only seeing the Parent.Parent etc. text. I've changed my eq2ui_custom.xml file to include the files:

Code:

    <Page IgnoreTab="false" ismodule="true" Name="Custom" PackSize="1,1" ScrollExtent="1024,768" Size="1024,768" Visible="false">

        <include>InfoCenter/includes.xml</include>

        <include>eq2ui_custom_infocenter.xml</include>

    </Page>

I get the windows, but when clicking on a button it displays the link to the file, not the actual text. I've also checked the eq2ui.xml file and it does include eq2ui_custom.xml.

Is the InfoCenter/includes.xml properly inside the InfoCenter folder, along with all the subfolders?

Not sure why only some run into this problem.

Yes, I have 8 sub folders and includes.xml in the InfoCenter folder in my UI folder.

Have you stopped working on this ?

Would love to see a TSO updated version

Exactly what I came here to find out! :confused: Ever since the spells have all been revamped that entire section is pretty much useless anymore and this is one of the best features I ever found for my UI.

I would like to get it together. If I can find some lists that would be easy to transfer, I'll see what I can do.

There's TONs I would love to do. It's just very tedious doing everything and making sure everything works with each small change.

*pouts about the UI*

Does anyone know a resource that lists class abilities by level with the description as well?

I thought the ZAM listings would have been updated/changed by now, but I was mistaken.
The EQ2i site has all the spells, but it would be very tedious to copy over the descriptions for the spells for all classes.

I'm working on the Monk list now - couldn't find a resource anywhere, so I will at least do my own class.

Cool. I'll most likely do the Sk, as that is what I play most. Perhaps I'll fill out the Mystic or Defiler one as well. It's just a lot of work going through 26 classes, considering it falls lower on my list of things to do compared to other missing information.

Here is a list I made for myself to help get more familiar with the dirge class.:p It's just a list of spells, combat arts and AA's that add spells and combat arts to your list of abilities. If you can't use it as is let me know and I will download info center and try to match the formatting it uses.

The file was created using Word Pad. I re-saved in Open Office 3.1.1 as a Word 97,2000,XP .doc file since .rtf files aren't supported upload formats. The formatting might be a bit wonky depending on what text editor you open it with. :rolleyes:

The ranger list is the same as the dirge list (for better or worse). Those are the only two toons I have at 80. Hope it helps. This is a really cool mod and I would love to see it stay relevant for those that can't open the in game browser without killing their performance. :(

Thanks much, I'll have to look at these when I get back home. I have a bundle of different text editors, so I'm sure I can figure it out.

Just about anything helps at this point!

just saw this post on the boards - thought it might be helpful

Still working on the monk list - just got busy and havent finished it yet

Ugh. well, it's a start, and it does help a little. It's a joint effort in the end, but that's what this mod is all about.

Cheers. Thanks mate.
