Doesn't sound like you fixed it, but in the latest version it works (just starting it up with the old config files still in place, not testing anything else so far). But yes, before it looked exactly like in those screenshots jnils posted.

Ignoring eq2map from the favorites works as well now, but the explanation on the msgbox that pops up is confusing (at least to me, I thought you would prompt me again if I click yes and remove it from my favorites if I click no). A simple "ok" msgbox should be enough I think.

EQ2MAP still downloads 1 file everytime you try to update :(

The interfaces tabs look good now :)

The window don't remeber location and size when you restart. :(

If you press save in the path tab, the program adds "# Modified by EQ2 Companion..." to the eq2.ini file , but not if you press the save button in eq2.ini tab. You don't get any warning if you make any changes to eq2.ini file and don't save before exiting.

There is no scrollbar in eq2_recent.ini file, but you can scroll by marking text with your mouse :)

What file is it downloading? :mad: What is the contents of your EQ2MAPExcludeList node in your config file?

I don't know if changing from round to trunc fixed it, but I read that your system setting could affect the round function so I used trunc instead.

Yea, I have it set for active screen center.. I've been meaning to add support for this, guess I will it's easy enough thing to add.

Sweet catch Jnils:) I'll get that fixed.

Such things I miss.. Thats definitely one object that needs a scrollbar.

<EQ2MAPExcludeList>icon_map3.dds skinnable_WindowElements.xml skinnable_Skinnable_Styles.xml skinnable_LocationImages.xml plugin_1.xml plugin_2.xml plugin_3.xml plugin_4.xml plugin_5.xml plugin_6.xml plugin_9.xml plugin_10.xml plugin_7.xml eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml</EQ2MAPExcludeList>

Think i found it, plugin_8.xml.
I checked it and now it works, but wy is it downloading a file thats not changed ???
If you have any of these files unchecked , it will allways download them.

Because the filelist.xml the server sends down does not put a real MD5 value on these file. That node is populated with EXIST and not a MD5 value. So when it does its check, the MD5's don't match between the local and server file and its added to the file download que. I'm not trapping the value EXIST because the user has the option to exclude that file. If something happens they don't need to go in and delete the file, just uncheck it, let it patch and recheck it back.

At fist I did trap it but it kind of negates the whole filetree thing where the user has total control over every file. So now I only trap it to set them files as exclude the 1st time that the eq2map module is loaded. After that that value is treated as a real MD5 value if it isn't checked.

Beta Build 0.15
 

What happened to 0.14? jnils post is what happened! lol
Build 0.15 Change Log:

• Your password is now saved encrypted. You will have to change your saved one because of this, it'll let you know:P.
• It now remembers the size and location when you closed it. If it was minimized when close it will resort to the last state it was in before minimized.
• Scrollbars added to eq2.ini and eq2_recent.ini memo.
• Changing the contents of eq2.ini via it's text will cause a reminder pop-up if you close before saving.
• Clicking save in the eq2.ini tab will add the modified comment.
• The Add UI button should be enabled more often now.
• To keep it from downloading one of the exists files over and over for EQ2MAP. If it sees it downloads one and it isn't excluded it will add it to the exclude list and check the file in the tree view, no matter if the user has unchecked it. *save Dolby some BW:D*

Found some more ;)

Ok, I've got them 3 items fixed. Is there any thing else you guys see that might be an issue? Or does it look pretty close to ok now?

I did find an issue since I added the location memory but have since fixed. You will see it in guild 0.15 when you first run it. You will get and EConversion error. '' is not a valid integer. or something along them lines. It only happens once the 1st time you run build 0.15 or if you delete you config file.

From the screenshot all I see is that "install" needs to be uppercased (is that a word?), ;). Did not give the latest build a try yet, and will not be able to before the weekend, but jnils probably has it covered. :)

Mine is not :(

Version says 0.14 , but i run 0.15 arcive ;)

In Path tab the Save button is enabled , but i have not changed anything.
If i press it, it gets disabled.

I don't think "Interfaces's" should have the extra 's :p

Im not sure what the Charecter tab is for, same files both sides :confused:

In Group and Raid tab, "Variable legond" legend :D

Hmm may have zipped up the wrong build.

I noticed that this morning while running through it. I'm pretty sure the start-up process is enabling the save button. I'll get that taken care of soon.

lol yea probably not. I've never like that heading any way but never could think of a better short description for the tab.

You can copy the selected UI settings file on the left to the selected UI Settings files on the right. I guess the Copy >> button in the middle isn't a good enough description lol. I'll add label to the top telling what to do.

Is there any artistic person willing to create a snazzy icon for EQ2 Companion. PM if you are interested.

Beta Build 0.16
 

Build Change Log:

• Replaced the old MessageDialogs with a TaskDailog Look-a-Likes for people not running Vista, Vista users, you've been using the real thing.
• Finished the code for the Don't install from All UI tabs checkbox that is in the individual UI tabs.
• Changed the label on the Character tab to Copy Character Settings.
• Fixed can't convert null to string error that could happen when clicking on a file in the UI file tree.
• Removed the 's from Interfaces.

EDIT:
Attached the file :o

Crud, I over looked that...

Public beta candidate 1.0

• Fixed a couple more spelling errors, 'legend' being one of them:P
• The file Raid C2C makes has been restructured. The script node is now named button1, button2, button3, and button4 and changed from a data node to a text node.
• Changed the node type from data to text in the group/player C2C file.
• Fixed the issue where it wouldn't recall it's position it was closed in.

Still working on the AV and IP error you can get if you close the app out in its initialization.

Wait is it public beta because it prompts me for pw

'candidate' being the key word:/ I should of been more clear though. Still a couple of bugs I want to make sure that are gone before I release it to the masses.

Some of the typos I listed in my bug post above remain, e.g. permintly. New ones I noticed are integrety instead of integrity, verry instead of very. Also last line of integrity log has some strange punctuation.

Bug I noticed with my ProfitUI persona window background images download. The files in the zip are in a directory structure \UI\ProfitUI\images\backdrops. EQ2C shows that correctly on the left hand side, but says at the right that it will be installed at \UIProfitUI\ProfitUI\images\backdrops. Installing it does indead put the files in the latter path.

The "Do not install from UI List tab" checkbox does not appear to be functional.

It is still not possible to permanently exclude files that are on eq2interface's favorites list.

1. Upon pressing Close I get:

"Access violation at adress 004FACCA in module "EQ2Companion.exe". Read of adress 00000000."

2. Can you implement any way to run a mod's auto updater (I.E. ProfitUI Auto-Updater)? So when you click EQ2Companion it runs the other Auto-Updaters like ProfitUI/ExtremeUI/ThorUI/etc (If "Auto Update" is checked). I know it currently Updates EQ2Map automatically though.

I know this is hard for you, so I wont sweat it. IT is awesome as it is.

Yeah I noticed that as well, there should also be "Do not UPDATE from UI List tab"

drago.

Build 1.1
 

Buid 1.1 Change Log

• The "Do not install from UI List tab" is working as designed. (where have I heard that before?) How ever the baseClass wasn't checking to see it should install/update or not. It is now corrected.
• Relabeled the "Do not install from UI List tab" to Ignore UI List tab controls. I also gave it a tool-top with more of a description.
• Fixed the spelling errors gm9 pointed out.
• Added a more advanced dialog when deleting a UI. Hope you are happy gm9.
• Recoded the class that guessed at where the author is wanting the .zip to be extracted if they did not provide a install eq2c.xml file. If it picks wrong now the author will just have to provide a eq2c.xml file if they want the end user to use EQ2 Companion.

No, Use their auto-updater.

typos:

1. Under Help>About you spelled special like "speachel"
2. When you Add a UI to your "Interfaces" tab, the text on the top has a typo that is "Brows", when it should say "Browse"

Ok the "Ignore UI List tab controls" checkbox works insofar as files are apparently not copied. It is still doing an integrity check, putting that in the log and giving you error messages about it. Also on the UI List tab the progressbars move for all UIs, also the excluded ones.

Otherwise I confirm that I am happy. I declare thee ready for public beta testing. :)

"Ignore UI List tab controls" there has to be something better to label this..

on the "Removal Information" window it should be "...but don't wish to install or update it, you have..."

What you should do is: in the "UI List" tab, implement a checkmark to the left or above each name of the mod that says "Exclude from Update/Install" or something. As shown as an example:

Agreed, much easier to understand that feature this way.

Yea I like that also, I'll implement it.

Did you fix those typos?

drago.

Ok added and fixed you guys suggestions, I think I got them all. Give it a run through like you just fist downloaded to make sure)

I'm on it stat!

drago.

lol i'm going to sound like a dick but when you go to "Add" the window it has 3 small typos on the

second paragraph:
1.
what it is-"...but do not wish to install or updating this UI, you have 2 options..."

what it should be-"...but do not wish to install or update this UI, you have 2 options..."

2/3.
what it is-"Doing that will cause EQ2 Companion to skip this ui whin installing or updating from the UI List tab.."

what it should be-"Doing this will cause EQ2 Companion to skip this ui when installing or updating from the UI List tab.."

lol...as you can see, I do thorough checks upon testing things. lol....here's another one I didn't catch before

When you do Manual Update on the EQ2Map tab, and you click Cancel Update it says

"User Cancled Transfer"

I'm sure the user didn't use their cancles to ensure their safety whence downloading Manual Updates.

Anyways, as you might of figured it should be "User Canceled Transfer"

drago.

on the "Paths" tab:
Save Button tooltip.
says:
"Save the current paths and UI you have selected."

it probably should be:
"Save the current path of the UI you have selected."
-----------
on the "Paths" tab:
Window that comes up when clicking "Auto Search":

button that says "I don't know search them all" should say "I don't know, search them all"

When you click the "Add" button to add a UI when not logged in, the window that comes up text should say:

"Use the Login button to log EQ2Companion into eq2interface.com"

Took the words right out of my mouth:p lol j/k drag, That's why you guys are testing it. What ever you see wrong let me know.

I seen that ****** and meant to change it before you seen it. ! lol

Good thing someone knows English around this joint! lol

Thants it, /google IDE spell checker:P lol

lol. I'm done bug reporting for the night.

By the way, for an application that's in beta, it has relatively no bugs.

drago.

Naw, Microsoft Word 2007 FTW!

I examine things to the fullest, I test like a mad hound.

(that is why i need to get into RoK beta :P)

***((NOTE: If I knew how to make these things with the C++ and what not, I could do great things!))***

drago.

poor GM9 OK'd this application for PUBLIC beta testing 50 bugs ago.

J/K we all love you.

drago.

Man! I just can't stop.....!

I have my settings check to: Launch after update, or whatever it says, but I don't have the ability to turn it off because it launches after update...lol...if you get my drift.

drago.
