Love the UI it's the first one I've used for eq2. I used to use your stuff for eqlive all the time. I would like to see a Woodelf or Tunare based one if you're taking request that is. Keep up the good work.

Wulfy...you out there man?

Well I might be the only one but I think the Target Window is a bit large. I play in 1024x768 mode because I get 100hz refresh on my monitor at that size(Faster FPS).

It would help alot if you could reduce it some, it takes almost half my screen horizontally. With the Character Window being as large as it is and the party window. all three windows tend to fill my upper part of my screen.

I'll take a screenshot and attach it so you can see. Otherwise I love the detail and functionality of the UI.

Target Window
 

I agree, I also would like to see some kind of arrows to indicate the encounters strength. I know on the target itself shows this info and placing the cursor over the target window too, but for some reason I like to see this on the target window itself. :)

An Idea
 

I had an idea that I'd love to see done - I'd love for the knowledge book to actually "open" - when first brought up, you'd click the closed cover (with some cool art of course) and the book would open up to reval the current "interior" art design....

if any such T King artwork for the cover of the books exist, I'd dearly love to see this done.

Hello.

I just finished modding this UI with the following:

Fetish Exchange 5.0
Fetish 6 Way Inventory 5.0
Fetish Maps 4.7 (Must have)
Findarato's Maintained (timers, who its cast on)
Wildsong's Raid Window
MookHotkey18
InfoCenter (Must have)

I tried to add in Mahonri's Quickchange Shutdown window. After I plop it into the UI directory, open up the .xml to add my character names and server, add the include to the mainhud.xml file, boot it up, and about 2 seconds later, I'm sitting looking at my desktop. I have no clue why it does this and I cannot make it compatible with the Gothic UI. Any chance you or someone else can take a look at it and see if you could? Thats the last thing I need and I would like to upload the UI for anyone to use. Only thing I did was spend a little time getting the Fetish pieces to work with the UI as I love, just love, the inventory and map. Fetish Exchange is only there for the find it button, honestly. Here's a link to the Quickchange Shutdown:

Any help would be appreciated and plz, let me know if I may upload this for others to use as it is a great UI with great mods.

Thank you

*EDIT*
I downloaded some of the other quick change windows. Tablets one cut out the graphics on stuff like the chat window, etc. I finally found Pooka's and it works, even skinned itself to the UI :)

So, may I upload this under compilations for others to use?

WOOT! If you're gonna start posting eq2 stuff i may just have to dust off my ui editor and start tweaking again. It's AWESOME to see you putting out new content.

*hugs Tom*

Mini-Map Plugin
 

For some reason this UI doesn't work with the Mini-Map plugin. I use this UI on the Test server, so I don't know if that's an issue or not, but for Test server the Mini-Map plugin would be especially handy for me. It's a beautifully designed UI, and I'd love to see a goody-two-shoes type UI....perhaps one for each class type (Druid UI, Cleric UI, Monk UI (omg that would rock), etc.)....

For the poster who was asking about the arrows up on the target, there's a command you can use to switch the con versions:

/con_version 0

or

/con_version 1

This will allow you to see the mobs themselves with either the old style (circle with level of mob and those fancy arrows on the sides) or the newer version (arrows up or down). However, this doesn't affect the target window itself. You can at least see the mobs levels this way.

Apologies to all, I did NOT expect to be away this long at all!!

Unfortunately, things are very hectic for me, much more so than I expected after the new baby arrived late last year. (By the way, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, and that the new year is going well)

In a nutshell... my youngest daughter (not the new baby, that's my youngest son, hehe) has developed some potentially serious health problems, and my wife and I have been spending a fair amount of time on the road, going back and forth to various spe******ts, children's hospital's, etc. So far, things are going well, and as long as the test results keep coming back the way they have been, things should iron out in a month or two, and my blood pressure can come back down to normal levels. (Nothing worse than havin' to hold a 1 year child while they sedate her. :( )

To top that off.... I've also been involved in a complete revamp of my home network, which is also used for some business reasons. We went from a 10/100, all Windows XP environment to a 10/100/1000 setup, with a new Windows 2k3 server. Let me assure you... if you've never been involved in an Active Directory deployment from the ground up, it's an interesting experience. For those that have, or are considering it, I highly recommend "Mastering Windows 2003 Server" by Mark Minasi. After my first disastrous attempt (I have experience administering AD... one of the reasons I decided to set it up at home as well, lol) at "winging" it, I reformatted everything, and started over, using that book as a reference. Flawless setup the first time, without any confusing Microsoft errors.

Finally, we lost 2 people at work (one to a heart attack - survived thank god, but is on medical leave, most likely until he retires), so I've had to pull a ton of extra hours, until we get 2 new folks in and trained up. That looks to be complete within 5-8 weeks, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

That being said, I still intend on supporting this UI.... whether it'll be coding with the baby in one hand, or just on the weekends, I should still be able to get some things out. Obviously, the time between request and delivery is going to suffer a bit, and for that, I apologize.

Thanks all,
Wulfy

I know where your coming from, I have been there before with my son from the age of 2 to 4 and it realy is a horrible experiance that you cant realy describe, brought tears to my eye's every darn time they did it :( .... On a more positive note he is 15yrd old and healthy (pain in the butt at time's though lol)

Well I hope all continues to go well for your little daughter m8 , best wishes :)

Hello,

I have mixed your UI with Profit. It is now a good UI for me, but I have a little problem with the quest log. I use Dessert of Flame german DVD box. The Lore and Legend quest will not be shown. The aktiv Quest tab will work and I can see all correct.The Files from the zip are all on the right Place. If you could find and repair the cause for this problem?

I really love to use your UI

Wulfy, sorry to hear that but glad things are looking up for her and I hope that things continue to go in that direction.

Target/implied window
 

My heart is out to you and your family Wulfy! I have two little ones myself, and all I have to say is take care if you and your own! This is just a game and we can take care of things if we put our heads together.

-Zechaar

First thing is I hope your daughter gets well, and that things settle down for your family. :)

I love this UI, for my necro the most.

Just wanted to let you know that as of LU19, you cant move spells in your hotbars. It gives you the option, but the option is greyed out and says you need a newer version of this hotbar.

If anyone has a quick fix for this, please let me know, if not than I will wait for an update. :)

Just found out about the live update, I actually haven't had a chance to play since my last post. On the bright side, test results all continue to be positive, so that's looking up. I'm currently patching both my machines for LU#19, as well as for the EQ2Map mod. Once the server's come back up, I'll begin testing some things I've been working on. In no particular order, here's what I'd like to have done by lunchtime tommorow (Sunday, Feb 5th) - I say lunchtime, because I'm a huge Seahawks fan, and plan on devoting my attention to the big game tommorow afternoon. (But best of luck to the Steelers as well - 'twould be nice to see Mr. Bettis finally get a ring, let alone Coach Cowher, one of the greatest coaches in the league).

Working List:

• Hotbars grayed out with LU#19 (hopefully just a simple "version" fix, keeping my fingers crossed)
• Target Window - Priority will be an optional add-on removing the skulls to make it more compact - I'll look at another add-on reducing the overall size as time permits
• Talacor - as I don't have access to the German DVD setup, I'm not sure how effective any changes I make would be. I'll take a quick look to see if something jumps out. The simplest fix may be to remove the quest journal portion, I'll post instructions on how to do so if I can't find anything else.
• Mini-map plugin - this is actually an add-on that was done some time ago for the EQ2Map mod. I've just provided the capability for the UI to work alongside the EQ2Map mod, without actually changing anything. The reason it's "skinned" in the gothic style, is I mod'd the universal windows files, which result in the windows skinning themselves. I'll look into it, but you may have more luck checking the EQ2Map support forums. (I know a few other UI author's have added that functionality, and have much more familiarity with it than I do)

Other Notes:
Kharzon - I have no objections at all, just please make sure to credit T. King for his artwork pieces. :)
Corren - I'll work on getting a reduced size target window for you
Nitefang - That is a concept that's actually been brought up to T. King for other game UI's, though I don't think it would be finished for a little bit.

Okies, work is in progress.

Hotbar - had no problems so far, without modding a thing. I did have one spell grayed out for my shaman. Simply clearing that hotkey and dragging it back down fixed it. I'll update the minor code changes for LU 19, to make sure that doesn't change things. I really like how they finally enabled dragging of hotbar icons, even with the hotbar locked. Rawr!

Target Window - hmm.. How to put this... "tactfully". Oh well, here goes. After my last post, a few things struck me - I distinctly remember putting a no-skulls options into the UI for the target bar. For those that didn't want the skulls... visit the Install Instructions folder, and refer to the installation instructions. (It's even hyperlinked, so you can click right down to the target bar section).

Talacor - still no answer for you, I'll keep looking.

Mini-Map - starting work on this now, I've got a beta copy of an update Talyns (the original author) just did. However, he doesn't play EQ2 anymore, so no promises on how long it may take to integrate into the current incarnation of EQ2Map. (Especially with the changes in LU 19)

Well slapped myself and call me silly for it being right there in front of me!! :nana:

Well I have an issue with the -NOSKULLS version of the target window. The progress bars seems to be cut off. The pic in the window seems to be off set from the window itself (shifted to the right inside the window itself). Tried to DL the file again and unzipped it and still the same thing.

I found the same thing with the no skull version. The health bar stayed at full until the mob or myself was at about 70 per cent health (this is on a 1280x1024 display).

Also I have noticed the "last page" icon in the spell/skill book does not do anything. I have to manually hit the next or previous icons to scroll.

Other than that, love the UI.

Sark.

I had some goofy problems too... The no-skulls option slid the bars half in half out of the target window, just like the other guys.

And, for only one of my characters, clicking the little skull does not close the knowledge book... Maybe there is a frame and titlebars option I had set that was left over from a previous UI, will have to check that when I get home, now that I think of it.

Welp, I have good news, and I have bad news. And that's from my point of view, from the point of view of the forum viewers here, it's probably all bad.

After a period of reflection and rest (not much rest really, more exhaustion taking hold), and a long sit-down with my family, I came to the conclusion that I need to cut down on the number of commitments I have. Given the new baby, as well as other priorities in our family, I've decided to retire from Norrath for good. :(

My toons have already deposited all they can into our guild bank, and the accounts are cancelled. Barring a winning lottery ticket, I don't see them coming back anytime soon.

As such, I'm no longer providing support for the UI's I've provided here - I've e-mailed T. King, and will let you all know what the future holds. Keep in mind, he's got as many, if not more commitments than I do (Though I think he's 1) Much better at what he does, and 2) has a lot more energy than I do, lol).

If any other UI developer's are interested in assisting with providing support, please contact T. King. He's got all the work the team member's have done, and would be the best starting point for those interested in helping out.

Regards to all, and I truly apologize for the lack of communication in the recent weeks.

Ben
(formerly the toon known as Wulfgyr / Mystbolt)

I wish you nothing but the best Wulfgyr in whatever your travels take you in life!!!! Thank you for all that you have done. You will be missed!!! :(

Does ANYONE know how to make the target window show the buffs/spells the target has up? I think this may have been a recent patch or LU addition, but I can't make this UI honor the options. Thanks in advance!

Hey T.King i love all your modifies for UI. If i download the undead UI does it have an casting time orb with it or will i have to DL it separetly? :p :) :nana: :D

This UI is absolutely fabulous but don't work with EoF and LU#29 =(
Plz update it !!!!!! =)))

I uploaded a patch for it that looks to be working properly. If there's any issues with it, please let me know.

Wow! Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to make this wonderful UI EoF compatible! I am sure many of us that play evil toons appreciate it!!

well there is one issue I found, and that is my Skill Tab on my persona menu doesnt appear at all. I dont know if its because its just not been update since GU 32 (and we are getting GU 39 next week) or if I installed something incorrectly but its not there.

-NM-

I'm not short, forums rules given me a complex!

wow is this not a popular UI or what?
I remember using this years ago with EQ1.

It hasn't been updated in a long time. Please let dead threads stay that way.
