Other Broker issues
 

I agree with CobaltKnight entirely. I noticed something else today as well though. The names have changed on most if not all the rare pelts and therefore your pull down to search for a rare pelt does not work, at least for t1-6 I believe.
T6 rare pelts are now called Scaled Leather Pelt btw. No longer are the rares call Superb or Excellent Quality or such.

Thanks again for an awesome UI.

Noticed a problem tonight which I'm not sure is related to the new version or some other weirdness going on. Quite often when I try to click on an item in my bags nothing happens, the bag itself isn't selectable until I close and re-open it. Anyone else experienced this and have any ideas of how to fix it?

I get this sometimes when I have my bags too high on the screen. There's a target window or something overlapping it. Just move the bags down and you should be all set.

Gold / Old Inventory
 

Hey all, grats on a great UI :)

Two questions I have about the new version (reborn).

1) Is there a way to select the 'gold' look of Profit18 - I'm hoping this is settable in the xml someplace
2) Is there a way to use the original inventory window - I was thinking that perhaps removing eq2ui_inventory_xxx.xml from eq2ui.xml might fix this

Thanks ;)

I really enjoy Profit UI, but I'm having a very annoying problem. I 2 box, and the installations of the updates went fine on both except for one thing on my main computer... the experience in the top left corner is blurry dots for me for adventure and tradeskill experience, it works fine for achievement. It is the larger numbers and as I play and try to level it's the main thing I stare out to see my progress. Now granted, along the top bar is a smaller numerical of my experience, but please, anyone have any advice on how to fix this ? I've tried redoing the installation, but nothing has helped.

I'd really appreciate some advice and please, in terms I can understand, I'm pretty much a noob with this kind of stuff.

Thank you and I have read through most of this thread and tried various things, but so far, my problem remains.

Oh yes, good point about the pelts. Rare loams are now also used in all tiers, so most of these are missing too.

Well that's what I thought it must be but it isn't, I checked, no windows over them. I've had my bags in those positions for a while and never noticed it happening before last night, very strange. Anyway, we'll see if it happens again.

Just installed. Thank you for taking 1920x1200 users to heart when making your UI.

One problem I'm having, though. The buff window; it's not displaying the name of the buff next to the effect icon. Is there anything extra I need to be doing after installing in order to get that functionality like I see in the preview screenshot? Has it been removed?

Problems with 1920 x 1200 settings
 

I just downloaded the latest version and changed to the 1920x1200 ui settings and none of the windows are in the locations shown in the screenshot. Also having the same issue as last poster in the names for active buffs are no longer displayed. I deleted my old ui ini file and still have windows in totally wrong positions. I have gone back to the previous resolution settings even tho I play at 1920x1200. At least the windows are in the correct spots.

Good ui... but...
 

I'm really liking this UI, and it is by far my favorite i've tried out so far. However, there are a couple of things i've noticed that are really kind of bad and could use some fixing.

1. "Phantom Channels" Someone else mentioned this and someone else said to try leaving all chat channels, log, and come back... Well I tried that and it didn't work at all. I was able to fix this somehow on one of my chars, but when trying it on another char the "phantom channels" are stuck there. I've tried importing the UI settings from that char who has them fixed with no luck. I'm about to try using some of the base ui reso files and try leaving/joining. But since I pretty much tried that already I don't hold much hope. I think this may be a problem with channels being remembered from other characters, so may not be related to the mod and may be related to the base ui itself.

2. Target Health % dissapears every now and then for some reason... the power remains the same, but the health dissapears. It comes back upon logging in/out though.

3. In the quest journal (and it may have been my imagination I was tired when looking through) it seemed like the quest rewards weren't showing. Only what to do next. Minor thing (if it wasn't my immagination) but annoying none the less.

Recently switched to using this UI from a compilation I had put together myself. Really enjoying it so far. One oddity I've noticed though is that I can no longer just hit "R" to Reply to a tell. I have to actually type in /tell soandso for every exchange in the conversation. Really very annoying. Anyone else seeing this or know how I might correct the issue?

Repatching/installing
 

can some1 post a walkthough or something on how i repatch my ui? the other posts dont seem to hlp me at all

quick log toons
 

I love this ui. I have used it for a good while & it keeps getting better. I am wondering if there is a quick log in this ui that I am missing or if you are going to add one so it doesn't take so long to switch between toons?

Saved Bank Items
 

Fabulous UI. 'nuff said. :cool:

Question or wishlist:

Is there a way to have the saved bank items (the "Show Bank Slots" option) from the Profit menu iconed or hotkeyed?

Additionally, can there be an "open all bags" option on it?

Thanks!

First off a big thumbs up on this UI. Very useful and quickly updated which is always a bonus.

My only concern since LU24 is I can't find the buy quantity button if one exists. By this I mean the abilty to buy fo example 50 harvests rather than click on buy one at a time. The default ui has this ability. If yours has it can someone point me in the right direction.

Other than that keep up the good work.

** Edited - I feel foolish - you hold down shift on the buy button to buy quantities **

Sark.

You just need to press CTRL or SHIFT before clicking the buy button: you'll notice the button changes to 'buy stack' or 'buy quantity'.

Gold Color Scheme
 

I fixed one of my problems, but I still have one:

To use the original inventory window with ProfitUI replace the eq2ui_inventory_inventory.xml file in the ProfitUI directory with the one from the Default EQ2 UI directory. I'll play test this for a while but initial tests (like opening the broker window) seems to indicate its ok.

I still want to know if it is possible to use the gold color scheme from Profit18, if anyone knows how or where this is set I'd appreciate a point in the right direction.

I never even knew you COULD type in R for reply, been hitting Backspace for reply since Server Up in Nov. Backspace and up or down arrow change the reply to whoever sent a /tell before the last person and etc etc.

You can add one yourself to the UI. I've done this myself.

This is the one that I am using.

Mahonri's Quick Change Shutdown Window

Added a zip file with 3 files within for the Gold color. Copy the 3 files into your "images" folder within your ProfitUI folder. Click yes when it asks you to overwrite.


Xarox Soulfire (Europe-Splitpaw)

Yes, I've experienced this as well. With latest version of the UI I might add. When you say join a group tho, it usually gets fixed, and you can see again all those channels.

Odd feature..

My issues

lets say i'm at 65.9% and we kill a mob, to my suprise it drops back to 65.0 (Not 66.0 like I expected). I figured it was just a visual bug and I was actually still getting the correct exp as I earned it. But, when it came time to ding, I went from 99.8 to 99.0. I was at 00.7 and the next kill I got the Ding.

Also when it is at 65.9 and goes to back to 65.0, after a few kills it jumps up by 1.2 % kinda like it just caught up to the actual experience earned.

Anyone else seeing this or is it a Game bug maybe

and also:

i've dowloaded 2.5.5 but i have a little issues in experience window and in a player window i have no font like screen ( on bar hp and power )

how can i have fix?
enjoy^^

Love it
 

I love this UI. I like that the important stats are displayed in the borders.

I do have a question. I know there are mods that allow you to take notes in game, like Milktoast infocenter. I am wondering if it is possible to access a spreadsheet while in the game via mod to keep track of different things. I would like to collect my own database of information about spells and the level of the spell upgrade each of my characters have. I know I can always alt + tab out to an Excel spreadsheet for this but EQII uses a lot of my RAM and processor memory and tabbing between windows is slow. Is there a way to do this? It would also be great to keep notes on tradeskills and items I need to make for my alts as well as a way to track which quests each alt is working on. I thought that the Sony players station would allow me to track this kind of thing but it doesn't as far as I can tell although it does allow you to see information on alts and give some good stats, they are just not what I am looking for. If this is not possible through a mod, is there some other way to do this?

Backspace eh? Thanks, will give that a try next time i log in.

quick login
 

Alot of people do not know that you can type this from in game.
/camp toonname

IE: /camp fizzledorf
would camp you out and log your Fizzledorf toon on... prolly faster than even clicking the eq2 button :).. so why slop up the code by adding a routine to eq2_mainhud_shutdown.xml

/camp charname... try it
-Hope this helped

For your second problem, every now and then I get that same thing... dissapearing % on target. Normally when I log on/off it comes back though... So I can't say if you've had it for as long you've had the latest version downloaded.

For your first:

I'd like to point you to the last item on the known issues list

Known Issues:

* SOE is currently delivering very incorrectly rounded XP data



So, it isn't just you. It is SoE's fault for sending bad info pretty much.



As for the problems I was having, i'll try getting a friendto invite me to a group so I can see if the missing channels do indeed show and I can then leave them like normal and such... however this still seems to be a bug that should be fixed.

Hi all, just a heads up that I was out of country for a few days and am currently a bit short on time.

I'll respond eventually to all your feedback, it might just take a few days longer than usual.

Ok, nps mate.

good take your time ^^

Only 1 suggestion: on the player window you have the coin a person has collected. on the alternate player window you have the "cure buttons". How about move the cure buttons to the place where the coin is located? Personally, never really needed to know at a moments glance as to how much copper i had on me but having immediate access to these buttons would be great!

Reasoning: Having both the main player window along with the alternate windows up just seems redundant and takes on screen space. Coinage isn't a big deal but the "cure buttons" are wonderful to have. Just doesn't seem logical to keep both sets up and running just to be able to make use of the shortcut "cure buttons". On my assassin, it's not a big deal since i cannot cure squat LOL. but my necro it helps.

I found a little funny trick on experience window
 

1. Set 'Frame only', maximum normal opacity, zero mouseover opacity
2. Set 'Frame only', zero normal opacity, maximum mouseover opacity

I think it will give a bit more customizable to experience window :)

Changing Hotkey Banks
 

I just installed this UI after using Thor for a long time and I am very impressed with the detail. Its actually quite refreshing!

I love the preset window locations, but I am having a hard time being able to get the up/down arrows to change the hotkey banks. Is there a special way to do this? Some work fine, but others wont let me change them.

Thanks,

Just Curious
 

A while back in this post I saw a way to determine true Epic mobs on one of the screens. Has this been implemented in Profit, and if so, how can I activate it. If not, will it be implemented? Thanks for the answers, and keep up the great work. This is the best UI I have used in a very long time! :nana:

Make sure "click through window" under window settings isn't marked. I had a similar problem. that took care of it.

So a couple more things I was noticing today with this UI problem wise...

1. It seems I have also lost the text for the health bar of targets permanently like another poster above. Certainly not a "breaking" thing, but that is handy.

2. This could be considered a game/ui breaking bug depending on how you have some settings!

When reading some books/scrolls (namely the far seas req orders) I had the text jump up in the chat log by a couple lines. I forgot to take a screen, but let me make a crude little ascii to show what I mean

Something like that where "A" is readable text and "X" is just blank space/bg where text wont fill. I DID remove all the extra tabs the layout files had (I have my own system that just uses 3 and it works fine for me) so this was pretty annoying to have happen, since it effectively cut the window size in OVER half for what text was being displayed. It only seemed to happen upon reading a req I already had logged/completed. I'll try to duplicate when I get on again, but searching specifically for reqs isn't that easy to do.

3. I noticed when I joined a group that I could no longer switch between tabs... I think this has something to do with the party window over-lapping the chat window and taking precedent over the chat window for clicks... again, i'm using the screen settings you included, and haven't tweaked the party window at all (to my knowledge) so you may want to think about re-posisitioning that. Also, despite clicking on the chat window several times, I couldn't get it to become the "top" window again... if indeed that was the problem.

Tal, try hitting f10 until every window has a solid black BG to check for overlap.

The included settings have some overlap here and there, but usually aren't a problem as the proper windows are on top. However, opening and closing a window resets it's layer, so for example if you had closed and reopened your chat bar, it could now be "above" the party window. Using the f10 method and aligning things so there isn't any overlap can correct that problem.

You might also have a problem with the borders not displaying due to their transparancy level. Check the settings on one of the bars that works, and make sure the bars that don't work are set the same way.

That was it. Needed frames AND titlebar chosen. Thanks! Great UI, the broker window is reason enough to use it!!

How do i make my Effects windows stay after i camp, every time i set it to the size i want it resets once i camp to anohter char. It always says (Not Saved) or somehting of that sort, any way to save um?

Ya, I will be trying that next time I join a party... i'm pretty sure that was the problem. I did re-do the chat window tabs, so maybe that could have caused it. Either way though, the over-lap with the party window isn't that great since it could hide the party members are the lower end of the list. And if it doesn't then it will be hiding chat text. Either way that isn't good. A better place could be over on the right hand side of the screen, near the raid window maybe. Or beside the maint. spell window.

Aslo, I was able to duplicate that bug thingy with the chat text jumping up after reading a far seas req I had completed already...



It's almost like it is reserving space for something else to go there. That may be a problem with the base ui though and not with profit... I forgot to test that before I tossed the order.

The text entry area is right below the text I put in... I was able to fix this problem by switching tabs.
