thank you!

Thanks GM9 for the quick response...your time and effort on this is appreciated very much...EQ2 would not be the same without your UI Mod!

just downloaded the ui yesterday and I like it alot.
However, today I tried to go to a broker and it told me the ui was outdated!
I've tried searching the forums but I haven't seen anything related to this.

help!

"the inventory market window is not compatible withthe current client. Please upgrade your ui...."

is the message I get.

You probably downloaded an old version. Unfortunately, Profit's original (outdated) download location is still listed on the front page (and people are still adding it to their favorites), and there are two "Reborn" locations. My version, which is the current one, is available here and should not have that error:
http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=4277

May I ask everybody to rate "ProfitUI Reborn II" and add it as a favorite so the correct download location gets some front page exposure? Thanks!

This is my first Custom UI and it is infinitely better than the standard one. I never thought much about custom skins and such... thought it was just eye candy before... but this looks and works so much better than the Sony one!

I really like the way there is so much info displayed without taking up too much space, once I get used to where to look it will be even better. Thanks so much for putting this together... it is a very clean and efficient interface.

Only one small complaint: the button on the far left of each hot bar is really only half the size of all the others. The left side becomes the scroll arrows for moving between hot bars. I am using the lowest resolution (1024 x 768), so I'm not sure if it is a problem on the higher resolutions. I find it really easy (especially in combat) to change to another hot bar instead of pressing the button. :mad: So I just moved emotes into those spaces instead of combat arts, no big deal. :p

Thanks again for designing and publishing this interface, gm9, and I am really looking forward to seeing if you can figure out how to export guild events.

Thanks attesa, glad you like it. The scroll arrows on a hotbar are only enabled if you select "frame and titlebar" mode in windowsettings. The other modes disable the arrows. Will that help?

No [x] here either on latest version :( Have to hit I or right-click and choose close.

As far as adding a button for opening all bags, that would be useful. Using 'B' is fine, except when you are typing mail, on broker, or crafting and 'B' just gets entered into the box. It would help in those situations (and when I am too lazy to lift my hand off the mouse).

gm9,

Thanks!! I'll do that right now!

Yes, I'm having to enter /loadui each time I start. It doesn't load on it's own and when I change the name of the file to default, EQ2 downloads the original UI over it. I've got a distinct feeling that it's something simple that I'm missing.

Just downloaded teh newest vesrion .

Only problem I have is, the status window that used to be at the bottom now does not show up until you put your mouse over it. THis is despite the fact that the windows setting is set correclty so that it shows at all times.

Prodigus, I know, I haven't yet uploaded a new release since your last post. ;) And you can also hit "i" to open/close the inventory.

DamianCross, make sure to extract and overwrite the eq2.ini also. You need to extract the .zip in your ..\Everquest 2 directory. Don't use /loadui, that's more buggy than useful.

EMK, strange, the only change I made for 2.7.1 was to change the file name of that file. But if this is causing problems for some of you I guess I can just change it back instead of wonder why you suddenly have problems with it. /shrugs

Sorry, I had missed your post. Delete you uisettings.ini file, that should fix your problems.

That's perfect! I disabled the arrows on the first three bars and put my combat arts back where I was used to them :D I can still scroll the lowest bar if I ever decide I need more than 40 hot buttons LOL. Thanks gm9!

Wow!
 

I'm impressed Attesa :D I'm using 84 hot buttons, and trying to figure out where I can put more!! :eek:

Wow here I thought I was odd with 84..glad to see I aint the only one. :)

Forward-slash
 

I started trying this UI out (first custom UI I've ever used, actually) after seeing some screenshots and liking the look of the percentage indicator over the hp / mp bars. But before I so much as got to the point of finetuning the windows, I discovered a problem that I don't know how to fix.

I'm very, very accustomed to being able to hit forward-slash and have the game enter said text in my chat box (as well, of course, as placing the cursor after the forward-slash, thereby causing the forward-slash to be just as much of a text-entry initiator as the enter key). Even EQ1 allows this, I seem to recall. But the functionality is missing in ProfitUI and I don't know how to turn it back on. Anyone?

While I'm at it - and I admit I haven't investigated the matter personally - is there a way of turning the up/down scrollbar back on on one (not all) of the hotbars? I find it useful, on one hotbar.

Thanks.

hmmm i cant find it is there a 800x600 ini file ?

Love it
 

Once I found out about custom UI's, I always look for them when I start a new game. I was just using parts and pieces of UI's until I ran across ProfitUI Reborn. How in the world does someone play with the UI SOE has given everyone from the the start of the game? UGH ! All I can say is THANK YOU FOR PROFITUI REBORN!

Sure I have some of the same little problems others have, <missing diget on xp>, <no X on invantory>, <have to always chat here> but they are all easy to work arounds.

So thanks tons

Tormented_toy § :nana:

have little problem , some window whenever i login , it auto sets to default location ?
ex: tradeskill window was set on right top corner & locked , relog and its in the middle unlocked

my 7th hotbars , as well as my map window but rarely happens

Asterra, look a few posts up or in my FAQ for the hotbars. / works fine here and I'm using it myself. Also, it's not like the UI could influence keybindings anyway (they are saved somewhere else).

jonathn2875, you can't even select 800x600 as a resolution in the game, and ProfitUI doesn't support it (you won't be able to fit everything on the screen in the res.

rena, no problems here. Window locations are saved in your uisettings.ini. That may become corrupted, although I haven't seen it linked to window locations yet. Try if deleting/renaming it solves your problems. It's not a problem of the UI, however, the windows are all set to save there location, the rest has to be done by the game itself.

Something's definitely screwy, nonetheless. Perhaps it is the fact that I have two separate chat boxes open - a frequent necessity.

I'll give it another go, even though my attempts to backup and subsequently restore my original UI have failed inexplicably (it seems somehow to find an old iteration of my UI that I haven't used in a year).

Forgetting about the / thing since it's something I can deal with. Truly great UI. But I'm the furthest thing from a master at these things so hopefully somebody can offer some quick advice on:

1) The experience window. Love the big, bold numbers in the middle of the hp / mana bars. Love the runspeed and hp / mana regen at the top. The rest of it (basically all the stuff to the right of these, including the actual exp indicator, etc.) are superfluous so I'm looking for a way of hiding it. The window can't be shrunk down horizontally to only show the hp / power bars. The window also cannot be covered by the target window because it seems to have some sort of unbreakable always-on-top priority. Suggestions?

2) Is it possible to force the actual Startmenu button on the Startmenu window to align to the left side of the window, rather than right? I fiddled around with it for ten minutes before giving up.

3) Right now, my target/compass/clock window refuses to display anything but the top bar and the loc information. The clocks, zone, day ball, target and implied target are all blank. I don't know if these are supposed to come up at some later time or what, but they're not there now. Opacities affect nothing. Window size is max. Actually I bet there's a version of this window which doesn't have the day ball at all.

Thanks in advance. Again, to the author, excellent work indeed.

Is the bank window used in this mod available by itself? I would like to use it with my existing UI because I absolutely love the "open all" button but when I try to add just the eq2ui_inventory_bank.xml file to my existing UI, the coin-quantity numbers don't show up, nor does the text on the "Open All" button (the latter is pretty easy to live without, but I really need to be able to see the amount of coin I have in the bank.

Is there another file I need to transfer over as well? Or some easy fix I can implement to make these show up?

Cant type
 

Iv closed all chat windows apart from one, iv never liked the multi tabs but now i cant type :confused: its weird, i can see the txt but theres not a typing box lol, any sugestions? :p ty.

I think you need to set the chat window to "Frame and Titlebar" or something like that. Just try changing those settings under Window Settings and see if that helps.. I believe that will fix it..

GM9 thanks for the response, the reason I asked is I have a guild mate whos monitor only supports 800x600. lol might explain why in his drop down within the game gives him no resoultion choices

Sorry to be a bother GM9 but in the player window there is a Self, Target, and Implied bars and when clicking on the Self I usually use it to target myself and get flagged LFW or LFG etc and I play so I can't see this over my head but others do and it starts to get annoying so is there a way to make it so when I click on the Self bar I just get myself targeted I manually enter LFG, LFW, etc. so don't need it here. If this is possible it would be greatly appreciated.

This has happened to me 3 times already.

When I log in all my chatwindows are gone. There is not even one chat window I can click on to get to window settings /add another chat window. It's as though the game has no chat capabiltiies.

The last two times this happened I just deleted and redid my UI for each character.

Any suggestions?

From looking at them both the only thing that comes to my mind would be either a) and include thats missing or b) something in the profitstyle.tga - not being a coder I couldnt begin to tell you what it is specifically though.

Similar Problem as EMK, except it's my Bottombar that's not showing. Oddly, it will show on first glance while the zone is loading, then disappear once the UI fully loads. I've edited it a little in UIBuilder, but I haven't had any problems up until now. I checked the .xml file again in UIBuilder with no luck...I can't seem to get it to show up again.

This has happened to me several times. What has worked for me was just to run the /load_uisettings command and reload the same settings for the character you just logged on as. My chat window has always automagically reappeared. I don't know if this will work for the statusbar, never had that happen. Not sure what causes it in the first place, but at least this will save you having to reconfigure.

You can just press F1 to target yourself .. would probably be quicker than moving the mouse to the player window and clicking too :)

This has prolly been...........
 

This has probably been put here, but I haven't had time lately to check for it. The Xp numbers sometimes disappear for my characters, anyone know why? I'll post a screen shot later, but it usually happens in the 30's and the 70's of the percentils range. If any suggestions, they would be glady tried. Other than that, it's no big deal, one can live without seeing every ounce of XP! :D

As always phenomenal UI, keep up the great work!

I have that problem too. And sometimes the number is totally out of whack - not just a few decimals but like 10% wrong hehe. I'm thinking that is part of the SOE XP problem, though.

As Anarissa I don't cry myself to sleep over it, though. The rest of the UI is working spectacularly. :)

Hi! Until now i was using default UI, because almost all custom UI's requires bigger resolution than 1024x768. Now i found it and i rellay love Profit UI.
But i have one problem. If i try use market (broker or my room marketboard), i got error message.
"The Inventory Market window is not compatible with the current client. Please upgrade your UI mod to compatible version or revert to the default UI"
How i can fix this? I'm really newbie on custom UI's, so i didnt know, what to do.
(and excuse my poor english, i it isnt my native language)

Sounds like you might be using an out of date version of ProfitUI.

Download the latest version and you should be fine.

What I'm finding with this issue is actually a little worse than this.

Not only does the 0 not display when at 10, 20, 30, etc but when you are at 19, 29, 39, etc.. it will show the next highest number, for example if you have 19% xp it will display as 29% can get quite confusing.

Also, from a fresh install I can't get the little button bar to display, the one with the ProfitCC, InfoCenter, etc buttons on it.

Yes, it solved my problem. Saw here version 2.2.2 download link and didnt noticed, it wasnt latest. Thank you!

I already explained that I accidentally put XP window variant 2 as the default in 2.7.1 (I'm very low on time atm so I haven't yet been able to upload a "fixed" release). Just extract variant 1 if you don't like it and you get the old way of displaying XP (which will still be incorrectly rounded). Variant 2 is more exact in a way, but I admit it needs getting used to. Both variants are explained in the changelog for 2.7 btw. :p
And just continue to /bug the XP rounding until SOE gives us back the unrounded data like it was before. :)

Ambrosia, I'm not releasing separate windows because I don't have the time to keep them all up to date. You'll need ProfitUI_styles (and have it referenced in eq2ui.xml) and the fonts + the folder images\fonts. If all you want is the open all button, why not just bind it to a key? (I know, just like the bags, some people prefer to click...).

Naruni, I thought I set it up so you can click on the target are instead to target yourself? Also, clicking the health/mana bars in the XP window will target yourself.

EMK, that's happening with all UI's. Usually hitting Enter or "/" or whatever your chat key is should make the windows reappear.

Taffu, I'm not sure what's happening for some of you with the bottom bar, but I explained a couple of (my) posts up how you can edit your uisettings to (hopefully) fix it.

Woops, sorry about that. I'll read more carefully next time. :o
