Nope, I never noticed it with the old one. Really weird how everything goes to normal after about 5 mins.

I quickly tested this and it appears that it's a bug with SOE in that it redirects the keyboard input to the sliders if they are in a resizable window (volume page for the modders out there). The old button did not have this.

If I can't find a way around this, I think if I make the sound sliders non-resizable and keep the video controls as is, that would be a good compromise.

Hitting Enter twice works because it will first give focus to your chat window and then defaults back to the UI.

I'm delaying the release I announced above until this is resolved/I find the time to fix it, btw.

Class listed on Group window/0 DPS?
 

Sry if this is covered but I looked and couldn't find anything... I noticed that in ur pics of the UI the person's class is listed in the group window but I don't see it on mine. Also, the DPS on the btm bar is always 0(zero), is there another program I should've downloaded or files to add/change to get this to work. I'm just coming back to EQ2 after several months away and this UI is making my return so easy. TY for all the work u've done, this UI is great.

Glad you like it. Set "Frame & titlebar" mode for the group window, and the bottom bar only shows the DPS modifier (e.g. a group buff that will give you +10% dps). Use an external parser like ACT to find out your actual dps.

Sweet, TY so much, and fast too..

I am having an issue with the login screen as well. I am only seeing the frist charater that I added into the _ProfitUI_LoginData.xml file. I do not see the rest that I added even when bypassing the patcher and logging in with EverQuest2.exe. What have I done wrong?

Could you please post an example of what it should look like with multiple characters? I want to compare to what I have done to see if I have added or left something out that has messed it up.

Thanks for your hard work GM!

Erm, sure:

Regarding the problem with the arrow keys, i may have an answer. For me too it wasn't working well. But i found how to solve this for me.
In Options/control/View Options/Free look controls then set it back to "view relative" instead of "avatar relative".

Hope it helps :)
edit:and it seems using the video profiles resets it back to avatar view

Jarod, unfortunately that didn't work for me. :(


an update on this: Apparently SOE bugged the keybinds, see this thread on the official forums. There's a permanent workaround in the third post and also this solution.

alright, never mind about the problem with the arrow keys, I found a workaround, I'll put it in the next release.

And I just spent 10 minutes on /bug once again posting my long list of UI issues (yes, sometimes they do get fixed).

This is stupid,but, I can not get the little box with the start menu and what not to move, its stuck right in the middle of the top bar,any thoughts on what I can do?

Unlock it to move it. Or use /load_uisettings to load the default window arrangment, which puts it bottom right.

Thanks for the fast reply, but no more then five minutes after I posted i got to unlock, it might just be me but it seems the window has a very picky right click area inside the box, great UI by the way.

ProfitUI 2.7.1
 

Changelog 2.7 -> 2.7.1:

Persona Window
+ Added just about all stats that are in game to the Stats page of the window
* The XP bars are now vertical. Let me know if there are any problems with these.

Login/Shutdown Windows
NOTE: Switching to another account does not work if you launch the game via the patcher. Added a tooltip to the shutdown window stating this.
+ The character list on both windows now shows the account name of each character
* Note that the function of the checkbox on the shutdown window was inverted from "same account" to "different account".

Start Button, Video & Sound Control Windows
FIXED: Clicking into one of these would no longer allow you to use your cursor keys (bug by SOE) - Your cursor keys will now be re-enabled once you move your mouse outside of the windows
FIXED: the VideoSettings window was corrupted leading to buttons not greying out when deactivated and tooltips changing to "&".

Inventory, Bank, and Bags/Boxes Windows
+ new lighter default background colors for the the slots depending on their contents. You can edit the default settings by editing the RGB (red green blue) values (0-255) for each type in the file _ProfitUI_InventoryColorSettings.xml (note that each entry appears twice per line, you need to edit both).

Inventory Window
* moved Ranged Ammo next to the Ranged Weapon and the Waist slot up

Bank Window
FIXED:The bank window once again has a titlebar

Merchant Window
+ also displays your current status points next to the available coin at the bottom

What window in the new files would we add if we just want to update the stats part for the time being?

Can you add an Open all Bags Button in the Start Button ? This is the thing what i need :)

i think the default key to open all bags should be B try it =)

Foladar, eq2ui_mainhud_personal.xml.

Ypselon, no. :)

Nicely done. I really like the way you have the four standard buttons yet left them in an easily modifiably format in the folder for those of us with custom presets. I couldnt find the stupid file that has the EQ Custom Preset button that allows you to set up your own so that others wouldnt have to look, all I have is my old one I downloaded for myself long ago. Anyone else find it?

All in all, I like what ya did. Kudos yet again :nana:

Hello Again
 

Again, an absolutely marvelous UI, the work you have done and are doing is above and beyond the call of duty. I have one question tho, I searched the thread, and wasn't able to find an answer, or perhaps I just missed it. Is there any way to Horizontalize ( if that's actually a word :D ) the start button? If not, I'll live with it, but if so, please give me a clue and I can do it myself . ;) Thanks again for all your hard work.

Thanks you two, and yes Anarissa, you can change the Start Button and the Sound/Video controls windows to just about any layout. Just play around with resizing the windows, you'll see how it works. I introduced the flexible layout with 2.7+, so you'll also have to do this once after you first update from 2.6 or lower to 2.7+ if you don't use the 1024/1280 preset uisettings, since the button layout will be a bit messed up then. ;)

Bottom Bar
 

Was wondering how I would modify the XML so the bottom bar doesnt disappear when the mouse is not over it.

thanks,
darcyle

Awesome update buddy, quality as always. :)

Btw, kudos for adding account name to the characterlist on the login window. It got mildly confusing with twenty toons in the list hehe.

great great great great work!!!
everything works and Persona window great idea!!
i have a little issue but never mind when i camp to change char i have a black screen like the screen, but if i type /camp (name character) it works^^

but it's not a big problem i play very well and thanks Gm9 for to keep alive this Ui, and thks at all comunity that with suggestions an other things make this Ui wonderfull!!
We make a petition for to ask at SoE,they must to put Profit Ui like default Ui ^^

gm9 can you add the little {X} on the inventory window again to close it? missing it in 2.7 :(

EQ2Map
 

So, I hope you understand my English. ;)

I have a Prob with my EQ2Map, i cant set Locs. The Line were I can put the Loc is black! How can i write the Loc in the Map!?

Sorry, for my English!! :(

darcyle2, you did probably change something in the windowsettings and made the window or it's titlebar only visible on mouseover. Change it back there, no XML editing necessary. :)

aigor, so I guess you checked that your XML has entries and is correctly formatted (or you tried with the XML provided by me)? I'll have a look at the window again, but I currently don't see why the list could be invisble...

silent1, hmm, the [x] is supposed to be there. Maybe it ran away when I wasn't looking, I'll have a look and will try to hunt it down. :D

Limp, I'm sorry, but I do not support EQ2Map, this is the thread for ProfitUI here. :) And I am also not sure whether I understand your problem, but you can set waypoints by typing /way <loc>. Best ask the EQ2Map guys though if it's something else you are wondering about.

And thanks everybody for the props, always good to hear.

just switched over from ThorUI and now everytime i relog and begain to type it opens up a whole new blank chat window forcing me to click "always chat here" in my main chat window everytime. Also the length of my cast bar keeps resetting as well.


Darcyle likes PIE...Sturmammer is the best.

See I told you you would figure it out :nana:

As always, appreciate the attention you are giving to this UI and also the amazing dedication to replying to all that post here. I know you are supporting this UI on your free time and have a real job but you still find the time to support this awesome UI.

To me the key for a products success is 1) the product itself kicks ass and 2) the developer(s) actively support it and are actively involved with the user base answering any concerns they have. If they take the time to post then they deserve a response.

Also, I read the SoE boards alot and it never fails, when someone posts a Pic of their problem and they are using this UI, someone always replies to it saying how cool it looks and where can they get it..

I am truely amazed with every aspect of this UI and it should be the default for EQ2 IMO..

Fantastic Work!!

HI - I accidently closed (no idea how) the bottom stat bar frame. How do I get this back?

For some reason after going to 2.7.1 the 0 is not being displayed on the EXP window. I usually blow my UI directory away when I install a new version.

I have the same problem

//lollygagger

I also have the same problem since 2.7.1.

Oh boy the crashes

This is causing me to crash repeatedly since installing your ui, even after deleting it from my computer, and even deleting the entire ui folder. This after exceptional performance since launch.

Issues.
 

OK... Here is the short list of issues. I honestly don't understand much about coding and such, but I feel that I may be closer to making work, than just tossing it all and putting everything back to the original set.

1. I have no maps!
2. Bottom bar is gone. I have r-clicked all over the bottom black bar and I have found nothing. It poofed while I was experimenting with the resize arrows.
3.The placement of my windows and number of windows resets everythime I log out. If I have two chat boxes and four spell bars when I log out, I'll have 1 chat box and 1 spell bar when I return.
4. Quest journal show NO QUESTS and has the text "YOUR JOURNAL IS OVERFLOWING! TOO MANY QUESTS!". IT also states that I have completed 100 collections and discovered 100 collections.
5. It shows my pet to be named Ambassador Rotgaf of Freeport... I promise that I didn't name him this =p
6. I cannot camp to another character.
I'm a bit confused and after trying to red through page after page of posts, I'm a bit discouraged. Can someone help?

nevermind found it.

how do I get my paperdoll to show up?

Outside the SOE screwup of XP percentages I am quite happy. LOVE the new market window and LOVE the new quick login/out. I am sorry about those with issues and wish I could help you, however, I am confident gm9 will do everything in his power to make everything work right.

This is the most functional mod made yet.

Yes, I really should say how much I like this UI, it is the best I've ever used for any game.

Danjak, sounds like you have a corrupt uisettings file. The easy way is to delete it and select the default settings once you logged in (must delete it first though). If you have a custom setup that you want to keep you can edit your uisettings.ini by opening it in Notepad, searching for "BottomBar" and by replacing one character in there (not adding or deleting, you must be replacing it), e.g. "BottomCar".

Everyone with XP window issues: I accidentally made XP window variant 2 the default in 2.7.1 (will switch it around again for 2.7.2). If you go into your ProfitUI directory you can extract variant 1 (custom inventory colors might stop working, I think I forgot to put it in for that variant). :o

musikman29, those errors are not crash related. Delete your eq2.ini in your \Everquest II directory to completely get rid of ProfitUI. Did you enable "r_aa_blit 1" in this file? It's the only thing that I can think of that might be crash related.

DamianCross, are you trying to load the UI via /loadui? No idea what else could be causing this otherwise.

cumbom, yes, it's explained in the changelog for 2.7 and there's even a readme in the ProfitUI directory.

scltd, select "frame and titlebar" mode in the windowsettings of the inv.
