Well that's how it looked for me with the default window. /shrug

You're right Krom they did add arrows to the simple con. I dorked with it a bit before servers came down. Think I have it working but need to test it.

Unfortunetly the arrows appear to be hardcoded above the target name so the windows will have to get taller to accomodate. I'll prbly post the revised target windows as an addon since arrows + graphic labels is kinda redundant. Seams like a waste of space to show both /shrug. Wish they'd just give us graphic labels for each arrow rank :rolleyes:

Hello there!

Zonx: Great UI I love it! especially all the minimize gidgets and gadgets! I have a couple questions though to you or any one that can answer.

A. How come my labels on my bags are stacked?
IE (Backpack 1
harvest bag)

B. Is there a compatable efects window mod that will display the buff name and timer? Kinda like in Profit's UI? I know someone stripped it out but warn againgst screwing up the fonts xml file.

C. I had a C but it seems you fixed it, Thanks that was bugging me lol. (Edit I have a alternate C) Will your 133% player and group window work if I drop them in and overwrite the exsisting files?

Anywho, great job once again! keep up the fantastic work!

Hello Zonx,

Great job indeed.

My question is where can i find Fetish Theme 4.6 please?

Thanks

Guild Bank Window
 

Getting some wierd effect when I open the guild bank window. Specifically I get a all black window, that only shows slots that are filled. I see no empty slots, and none of the tabs are showing.
Is this just my set-up or a UI bug?

Thanks for updating so quick btw, was dieing having to use the default UI for a day lol.

Thanks for such a quick update Zonx. I also hated using the default UI even for a single day. You are the best!!

white windows
 

I love this UI, I have set many friends up with it. Both RL and EQ2 friends.

With this new update I have experanced all my windows having a white background. How do I fix this?


Thank you for all your help.

I dunno if it's redundant now because we have ^^^ heroics and ^^ heroics that are hard to distinguish with the fancy borders. Epics are easy to tell appart due to the boards being really different. So with borders and arrows together you get the best of both worlds. ;)

My guild bank window is also broke.... :confused:

Please look into it....is there a way to not mod for just that part and leave guild bank at default?

I dunno how you work on this mod but I think you should go and reskin every default window to make sure you didn't miss any new features. So many new modifications where made to so many windows that I think this LU might require it. I might be totally wrong but it seems like people having lots of little issues.

Anyways thanks for all your hard work. :nana: :nana: :nana:

valcra, Bag labels will wrap onto 2 lines if the label is longer than the titlebar.

I don't think anyone has produced an effects window with always on labels/timers specifically for Fetish, but if there's one for the default UI, it should drop right in.

Yes the 133% Player and Group windows should work fine, just don't replace the FetishStyles.xml or FetishWidgets1.dds.

Alvi, 4.6 Themes have not been released yet. The only issue you'll have running an older theme is that radio buttons found only in the Arena windows will not be visible. Everything else should work fine.

Muppun, sounds like you're missing or have a corupted FetishWidgets1.dds file. I suggest manually dragging the image from the ZIP to your Fetish/Images directory. If all else fails, you can delete eq2ui_inventory_guildbank.xml to load the default version. Guild bank is working fine on my end. Be aware, you must have permissions to add/withdraw from at least 1 bank to see the tabs and slots.

Timothi, sounds like some of your images didn't extract to the correct location. This has been known to happen on some systems. I recomend opening the ZIP and maually dragging all images from the ZIP to the directory listed in the ZIP.

Kromulis, the graphical ranks have never distiguished between 1 and 2 down (both labeled as Weak) or 1, 2 and now 3 up (all labeled as Heroic). Makes the simple con prety useless IMO. Adding arrows to the simple con system basically gives us the detailed con system with fluff graphics. The only real advantage to the new setup is arrows in the target window and level labels over the target's head. Anyways, I will probably release an addon with the extra arrows for those that want them.

Chat box issue
 

If I highlight my chat box the text shifts up revealing a blank line that allows typing to occur.

However my normal method to type is to hit return and start typing (or hit \ for command). However when I do this at the moment the text overwrites the bottom line and does not shift up.

Is this a problem or am I missing a setting somewhere that will do thins.

Many thanks

A interface newbie

4.6
 

1 : still seeing solid back when i use sort with knowledge book.

2 : when i use broker, i can not search for items by class ... is that possible to add in ? i really don't want to go to the default broker search lol ! it's UGLY as a mud fence and too big!

thanks !
steppin

kayanar, as noted several times in this thread and in the provided docs...
Titlebar on = no input stealthing.
you need to turn the titlebar on for your primary chat window. If desired you can still hide the titlebar with opacity settings.

Steppin, sounds like your 4.6 install failed somehow. Market window not showing the new options is a dead giveaway. I'm guessing you extracted to the wrong directory by accident.

Just to let you know. It Functionaly Works, But now in the Trade Window, you can no longer trade 9 items. 6 is the max, even if you have 9 windows you can only put 6 items in. Just in case you want to Streamline the UI and get rid of unneccesary Boxes !! :)

One issue with the broker window - well actually two issues:

- I can't see the name and location of the person selling any more
- The text on the "All classes" reset button wraps around to a 2nd line.

Broker Window Issue
 

I am also unable to see the name of the person selling items.

I also have a question about the window (sorry i don't know what it's called) that pops up when you click to zone. That window is not resizable and if there are choices as to where to zone into (like the different level of Harclaves, for example), the text is sometimes longer than the window so I can't read the entire line.

Is there a simple fix for this?

Thanks in advance and thanks for all of your work on this UI!

Not seeing the name of the peson selling is not a UI thing, but a game thing. I happens when someone is selling from there house vault and not in the room or online.

Zonx,

First off, i've been using your UI for several months now, I love it. I'm running into a few problems though since LU 13 came out that I'm not 100% sure which end the problem is on and I have no idea how to fix it.

My first problem is when I die in a zone and the game starts to load to the respawn point the game kinda freezes. EQ2 gets stuck at Loading UI resources (or something along that line). When I turn off the UI it allows me to zone when I die but then my backpacks are stuck at the size they are with the UI...problem with this is the default UI blows them windows to full size but cuts off like 1/2 the backpack window completely so it fits within the window size given to it from Fetish. Any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks


Edited:: Forgot about this....when running through Sinking Sands 2 I only get the world map I cannot get a map of that zone. I tried it in SS1 and it worked but that was after I crashed from game 2 times and turned off the UI...not sure exactly if it's the zone being #2 that throws it off or not...

Ok i'm done now...heh

I am having a problem with the persona window and for some reason it seems linked to EQ2map.

I have installed fetish many times now and I am sure I am doing it right but if I run the EQ2map updater the next time I log in I get a message telling me that the persona window is not compatable and I should revert to the default UI (not a chance!) :mad:

I have reinstalled several times and each time the same thing happens, any ideas?

One day of the default UI left me wanting to kick my PC out the door so many thanks Zonx on making this game playable :)

but it used to tell you the store owner did it not?

Now there is just a blank space next to the item under the seller column

yes it was showing it before, but now even without any ui installed there is a blank space in the seller column on some items, i would say the basic interface of the broker is quite bugged actually (or less functionnal than before) and i'm not sure that grey for the items too low level and for items too high level was a good design idea ^_^

With todays update notes items too high now con red :)

I have a feature request. I used the "Classic Vert" UI until this one was updated. It had a mod that when you use the exe that doesn't patch to start the game there was an extra box that you could imput your characters name and it would send you in without having to go to character select just like if you had selected your characters name in the patcher. Sorry if this doesn't make sence, I can't really think of a good way to explain it.

Anyways I use the nopatch exe alot and this would save me alot of time, I'd love to see it added to my favorite UI.

We've seen that too. It doesn't happen every time, but when it happens, it sure is annoying. Need to hard-kill EQ2 and restart.
Not sure whether there's a way to gather debugs - if so, we'd be happy to do so to help pinpoint the issue.

Re missing names in broker: So they're missing in the default UI too, eh? Goshdarnit, Sony!

I am having a problem with my splash and character screens not being centered but off to the bottom right. This means that on the character select screen, I am unable to reach the other characters.

I am also getting the "Loading UI resources" hang. I have noticed this twice and both times I had evaced. Both times when I logged back in, I was at my pre-evac point while the rest of my group got evaced. Only once did I drop a shard because of it though ;) .

Thanks for all your work Fetish

Ravenously

Personna UI not working here as well.. Also no labels are working for me when moved over the spell. Watching thread for updates. Thanks Z, you make alot of peoples time in EQ more enjoyable.

Spek

Hard kill eq2?? I was almost tempted to reinstall it...not to sure what hard kill means...

Hot bar hovering
 

When I hover over the icons in the hotbar, I get only the two icons of the skill and the corrosponding HO icon. No text. Is this normal and if not how can I fix it?

Thanks again for such a great interface and terrific turnaround time. One day is awesome and when I go back to the vanilla interface for the day, I know what I have in your skin.

What I mean is to drop out of full-screen (Alt-Tab), bring up Task Manager, and select "End Task". Then wait a minute or two while Windows reaps EQ2. And then restart EQ2.

In essence, a kill -9, just that Windows doesn't have anything as nice as kill -9. :rolleyes:

Have all you guys completedly wiped your fetish directory or renamed the old one and made a new one and installed it there?

I have no problems like the ones you guys mentioned. Don't overwrite your old fetish directory use a clean one. Don't install any additional mods unless they have bee approved for LU13. Don't use any older Fetish mods with the old fetishstyles.xml files.

Yes, these are fresh installs of Fetish.

I use Goldi's StartButton as an addon to Fetish; Skharrin does not - he uses a "pristine" Fetish. We have both seen the issue with EQ2 hanging when respawning after death.

the ui hang while respawning happens with the default ui too, not a fetish/custom ui thingy.

Ren.

hmm, thanks for this info...seems to happen a lot when i have the UI up though...but i do not think i've died in default, just have to put up with 1/2 of a backpack in default

help wiht text size
 

I need to adjust the font sizes for playing the game and I would appreciate any help you all might have.

Not the tooltips or the chat window - I have those ok. I need help with the rest of the ingame text. I need to make the font size bigger for

• conversations
• examining items
• recipe needs
• any little description boxes that pop up. (For example, when a character claimed a monkey today - all the boxes with text about naming it and what was available to claim, and so on.)

I've looked through the various xml files and many of htem have font specifications. I don't want to mess wiht the font size on the spacing or controls so I didn't just do a search & replace.

Which files should I change (or, which files should I leave alone) in order to increase the font size, please?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I'm not a modder, but I would guess it would be in eq2ui_examine.xml (since that's the file that caused a lot of problems with the tool tips for hotkey icons, etc. with the LU 13 patch)

I am also having the problem with only allowing me to trade 6 items instead of 9..... Everything was working fine with old Fetish and once I updated it dropped to 6. I also noticed that I am having an intermittent problem with the "Sort" in the knowledge window. It worked when I checked it but it is not working now....and I didnt change anything....any help??

Zareous

Enkei_jp, the zoning window is resizable and the default size was made much wider in release 4.4. Your server_character_settings.ini is prbly bugged but you might try right-clicking the window to bring up window settings, then restore it to default. If that fails, try replacing your server_character_settings.ini with one of the provided layouts or trashing it. This will prbly require you to reposition stuff to your liking.

gunth82, this sounds like a memory issue. EQ2 is really bad about managing memory to begin with and will eventually exhibit these symptoms if playing long enough. Its worse on systems with low RAM (annoyingly common with 512k RAM). This entire UI set (particularly the EQ2Maps piece) does use a bit more RAM than the default UI, which will result in these issue happening sooner.

Raydriel, this usually results from installing an EQ2ui.xml file from another mod or the default ui (they use a smaller base screen resolution). You'll need to edit your version in Notepad.
Change
to
Retnaburn, I'm aware of the feature you refer to and rejected it as a Fetish standard due to the security risk it possed. The versions I've seen require you to save your character name and password in a file that could be read by someone accessing your machine. Please let me know if this isn't the case for Vert and I'll look at that implementation.

Freekin4901, sounds like your eq2ui_examine.xml file is messed up. Reinstall the copy from 4.6. While you're at it, reinstall the eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml from the 4.6 ZIP.

Aweebard, sounds like your eq2ui_examine.xml file is messed up. Reinstall the copy from 4.6.

merneith, all the font size settings can be found in FetishStyles.xml (below the <Namespace Name="Fonts"> line) and eq2ui_fonts.xml. Simply change the PointSizes. If you tweak these settings, you'll want to make backups befor installing updates. You'll also have to manually update code when the files change.

Persona Window: note that only the standard file has been updated to be compatable and seams to be working fine on most systems. DO NOT use the configuration tool to install any of the alternate Personabar files, they are all incompatable.

Market Window: I have confirmed more than one SOE side bug with the Market/broker window. Offline seller names and locations do not currently show. Also some items (Tradeskill volumes for example) can not be searched for. These are SOE bugs I can't do anything about.

The new "All Classes & lvls" button label is supposed to wrap. There isn't space for a wider button.

Note: due to several requests, I did bump up the seller font size 1pt. This may cause some cropping when the window is shrunk to a narrow width.

Trade Window: Apparently SOE nerfed 9 item trading. The window still shows 9 slots but only 6 items can be added. Nothing I can do about this except remove the 3 extra slots.

Zonx,

thanks for pointing out the issue with EQ2 hogging memory. I've ordered 2GB now, that should take care of zoning hangs.

Re the "Any Class & lvl" button: I was hasty in my description. It doesn't just wrap, it wraps so part of the text 'lvl' is outside of the button. Screenshot attached.

Lastly - did your homepage move? I was looking for http://rpg.hmimages.com/eq2/EQ2UIEnhancements.doc , also tried www.hmimages.com, no such luck.

Hi!

Is there a standart UIsetting file for this version? I used one in a previous version, but seems like it wont work with LU13. Dont want to drag each and every Window where it is supposed to be. I'm Lazy.
