DoH!
 

OK, I guess I deserve to be slapped for not reading your install directions and the note about those of us with non-US games... my bad. I'll try the work arround and see how that works out for me

Just gonna go back to older version for now
 

Well, I can't seem to make it work :-/ I tried adding a file called everquest2.exe, but it won't let me, cuz it says I already have one. I'll just keep looking back in for when you are able to work arround whatever is causing it not to install correctly and then try again, until then, I'm still very happy with version 2.2, so I'll stick with it.

My english is not so well...

my EQ2 looks like that:



Clickable

i installed with the EXE file, updatet both EQMap and the UI....

what can i do to use this cool UI?

Um Hi,

I have a couple of questions about the wonderfull and highly detailed interface that you have created and continue to update. My first question is about the map updater, When is updates and finnishes it states that it has skipped 10 files....why and isn't the files needed for a reason? Second I have noticed that when the interface completes it states that alot of the accual interface files includeing some from the info part are forign and asks me to delete them...i don't but, why is this and is there something i should do? it does state that these files can cause some problems is there something i should worry about? oops that was a third question <giggle>.

anything you could answer is great.

thank you and keep up the wonderful work

Ok, I'm working on getting ur issue fixed Bodhi. You actually can help me out with this. If you can tell me what files are in your EverqQuest II\LP_REGION_EN_US directory. And if any one knows, dose none U.S. installs have the EverQuest II\UI directory also?

To take a screen shot of your desktop just press the print screen key (prtscn) then go into some graphic/photo editing software such as mspaint and do edit->paste and it 'should' paste the snap shot there for you to save.

Zaran add cl_letter_box_amount 0.135000 to eq2.ini or eq2_recent.ini if you want to be able to change it. Then run AUCP and go to the settings tab and click on the advanced option button ( at the bottom of that page). This will open up a new window. There you can select the uisetting.ini file and a premade resolution file.

Landiin,

On the subject of target buffs...

Can these be coded into a seperate window?

I have the same problem with the installer like Bodhi.
(Adress Violation)
I live in Germany but thats not the problem, I think.

On the last Update the updater loads the file "eXtremeUI_CP.tmp".
After download and Mapupdate the updater want to be restart itself.
But the window is still open and the updater have not the permissions to delete the eXtremeUI_CP.exe.
After the crash I copy manually the eXtremeUI_CP.tmp to eXtremeUI_CP.exe and all Adress Violations will be gone.

The 10 files in the EQ2MAP update you see it reporting as skipped are the 10 files that eq2map allows users to edit, so it never updates them.

The files that are being reported as foreign in the map updater are just that. They are not part of the current UI structure. The updater checks all fines in its directory vs the directory on the server and reports any files that are not on the server.

So if I remove or move any files it will report the old files on the local computer as foreign. In the case of the infocenter I moved that directory from the include directory to the UI's root directory.

It is save to delete any file that the CP reports as foreign, UNLESS you have added or modded the UI. In that case you need to add them files to the exclude list.

I wish but they are hord coded into said windows:(

Oh thats good to know Wolffire.

I think I'll change the way it updates it self. Instead of having it download itself I'll have the CPPatcher down load it, that will stop the issue of the cppather not having access to delete files.

Screenshot...
 

Sadly, I wasn't able to get you a screenshot :-/ But, as far as what's in the EverQuest II\LP_REGION_EN_US, it's looks like an exact copy of what is in the Everquest II directory. The only differences would be that in this file I have a Cache file and login files.
I know this is probably not too much help, sorry.

so in LP_REGION_EN_US you also have the UI and log directories, along with eq2.ini, eq2_recent.ini? Basically the LP_REGION_EN_US is your base/root EQ2 directory? what is the command line in your eq2 shortcut?

Just wanted to update you. I installed the newest with no problems, love the ui. I use one of the alternate backgrounds, and the updater changes it each time. Is there a way to set it to leave the background file alone?

Yes in advanced options under exclude list, just add that file to the list and the updater will never look at it.

me again

the tip u gave me worked fine, but still got a bunch of problems...

for better understanding i took a screenshot:

its a bit larger


Top Left: i installed the Char_Selector tool

Top: Chat and Quest window, cant change the visibility, when i move
my mouse over they are ok, but when my mouse is not there they look like
the right window

bottom: the group window makes the same like chat and quest window.


What can i do?


thanks

blank completion log
 

when i click on the completed tab in my quest journal itdoesnt show the name of the quests that i have finished which makes it hard to see if you have done certain quests or not like access quests. what can i do to fix this problem. it lists the number of each type of quest i have finished just not the name or description of the quests i have finished.

Looks like you may be missing some image files. When you run the CP does it report any missing or foreign files?

Just loaded eq up and I can see the names of the quest. Well at 1st the right side was blank until I clicked on a quest. Maybe I am misunderstanding you or something. Are you using the latest quest window that was added to the updater about a week or two ago?

nope, i run the patcher, he says all files are there.
he changed the quicklog mod back to normal and the old version works well

but still the chat, quest and group window does not appear right.
Only when i "mouse-over" them....
When i try to change in window options it always snaps back...

help pls

Hi Landiin,

two more problems (see screenshots).

The first cuts the name from the current location info.
And always 3-4 chars from the longest word.

The second one you can see the broker window.
In the german version the information from the namefield was extremly to long and I can't see my inserts.

meinetwegen hätten sie das spiel ruhig in englisch lassen können
beim ersten teil hats ja auch funktioniert....

Quik Log Help
 

Need help setting up the quick charac log, please. Enters character names and server doesn't work for me. I tried Help in the extreme control panel but only get a blank page. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
~Skarlett

Button was back next log on... Whatever caused it, it's fine now.

quest log
 

thats the thing it doesnt list my completed quests it just lists the types of quests i have completed and when i click to expand the type of completed quest there isnt any quests listed under it

Are you sure that the show only repeatable quest check box isn't checked? All my completed quest are there and I now use the exact same version as you all do.

Being the quick log and notes deal with directly with the XML file you have to save File->Save before the changes take effect.

I'll get the help working soon. I just have 101 irons in the fire ATM:/ lol

OK, yes it has the eq2.ini, eq2_recent.ini and the others in it, and the first command line for eq2.ini is cl_ui_skinname extreme (is this what you meant? if not I couldn't figure out how to read the command line of the shortcut :confused: ). But, this is with version 2.20 loaded up.... I guess it would change if if I had uninstalled it?

Thanks much Landiin. Save worked perfectly (embarassing as it is to say :o ). Now, one other small problem and I'm not sure it's the UI or what, but at random times, the rainbow colored hp/mana bars turn a dark green and I have to reboot to get them to return to the right color. Is this maybe something with my graphics or something that I can do to fix it?

Thanks,
~Skarlett

Does this happen after you have switched charaters? If so this is a known SOE issue (search this thread) Everytime you experience it /bug it....thats the only way it will get fixed.

Society Tab
 

Landiin,

Did sony remove the "Society" tabs from the menu or is it just AWOL??

I get error everytime I try to use the control panel!

I get an internet page script error on the page that loads up then I get some xml button error as well. Id really like to try this out! I will try to get exact error messages if I have time!

edit: I reinstalled again to try to get exact error messages and this time there was no script error on the webpage that loads up inside the control panel. The other error did appear again though and is as follows

"A fatal error was encountered while accessing sb_buttoms.xml
Cause: Possiblefile Corruption. ErrorCode: 202:203"
after I hit okay, the CP exits.

Is there something on my side that needs to corrected? I am new to EQ2 UIs so I am not exactly sure whats going on here. Any help would be appreciated as I would really like to check out your cool UI and all of your hard work!

Yes, happens everytime I change characters and is a real pain. Thanks for the info. I'll definitely /bug it. Would be nice, if it's already known if they'd take time to fix it. :rolleyes:

~Skarlett

Im having a bit of trouble locating the Inventory window. (On your Screenshot its the window to the right of the quest window [top middle])

Im sure its as simple as a single key stroke but after an hour of trying to find it, I gave up..thanks in advance

Arranging the windows
 

Okay so I haven't taken the time to read through all of the posts, but when I /loadui all of the windows come up shuffled around. Is there anyway to make it so that everything shows up like the screenshots? I play in 1280x1024.

Also most of the time when i /loadui the whole game crashes.

/loadui is bugged......... still.......

I don't think it ever worked. What you need is the EQ2.ini file with the correct settings in it.

open it in notepad and you should see

cl_ui_skinname extreme
cl_ui_subdir UI/
letterbox_frame_visible false
cl_letter_box_amount 0.135000
window_allow_offscreen false
only_show_fg_in_letterbox_area false

When you start EQ2 after this, It should all work fine. Also, please note, I am not useing the latest version of eXtreme UI. I was reading through to try to find the changes. As the one I currently use works with KoS

Hope this helps

Landiin,

From what I have read thus far, The new eXtreme UI will be self updateing? Will this be the only way to do it from now on? Is there an easy updgrade for me? It takes me a bit to get everything dialed in, and you always have a new release when I finally have it the way I want it =P Could I just make backup copies of my ui settings for my toons then overwrite the new ones with those to keep it how it is? Or, has to much changed for that to be of use?

Love the UI, love the support. Major thanks for the info you gave me on the guild logo awhile ago. worked great.

Demeke,

The default key for the inv is I. hit it and see what happens.

DrShmoo,

That was suppose to be eq2.ini, not EQ2.ini.
sorry for the confusion.

yeah. I found it after that post. The window I have now didnt look exactly like the one on the screenshot so I thought I was missing something, later thought that it might be a diff. version.

thanks.

maylar_stalker,

Yes from now on the only way to get the UI will be via the updater. If you already have the base files, then the update will not take long at all. The AU will not ever touch your uisettings file unless you go into advanced option and tell it to ( but it's always a good idea to back up ).

I'm in the middle of recoding the updater, well not the middle almost done with the new one. The one we use now is the result of 2 or 3 projects of mine tossed together.

Here is a bit of history on it.

Started out with the audio player; so I could play some tunes in the back ground with a small finger print player. ( media player or win amp would lag me in large areas or raids ).

Then I made the Map updater because umm I could and not a big fan of .net. Then I though hey put the two together, so I merged the two projects and tossed in the quick log and notes and released it as the CP.

I've always been asked to do an AU for eXtreme so I started to add that to the two merged project.

When it was all done it was basically 3 or 4 solo projects added to one project. Which resulted in it not being stream lined and full of extra code to combine the 3 projects.

So know that I know what the end result should do I've decided to rewrite it from the ground up knowing what the end result should do and with ways to expand it with out jumbling up the code.
