After my EQ downloaded some huge update, it scattered ALL the Eq files onto my desktop and this ui is no longer working, anyone know how to fix this? i tried reinstalling it but it didnt work.

I can only venture a guess. I'm thinking you made a shortcut to your desktop to use when you start EQ2. However, you didn't really make a shortcut - you actually moved (or copied) the entire file. This means that when the patcher starts it will scan it's current location (your desktop) and since you don't have the game installed there it will promptly go ahead and download *every* file the game needs.

Chances are that if you run the file that is in the location where your game was originally installed (and where you, presumably, installed the UI files) it will work a treat. I would delete all traces of EQ2 from your desktop folder and make sure I did a proper shortcut and not move/copy the entire file. :)

Ok got ya, thanks, Ill try it and see what happens

Thanks

Where are the character and server names stored for the quickswitch feature? I'd like to setup my toons, thanks.

Thanks for responding GM9 I play in a style that I click the buttons on the hot bar are all in the same area, my group window is to the side of the 4 rows of hotbars and my player window is above the hot bars so i only have to move the mouse around in that area instead of going way at the top left. So it is convenient to jsut click my Health and mana bars in the Player window to target myself. I thought in some earlier the LFg, LFW, etc wasn't there and I guess I just got accustomed to clicking the player bar next to the target bars when I needed to target myself. I will make do, thanks for such a wonderful UI.

Oh I almost forgot when I select the title bar and frame option for the inventory window to get the paper doll view inventory. It resorts to the default inventory when I zone or log out and come back in do I need to clear a file or something for the setting to take hold?

Thanks again gm9

you need to edit the _ProfitUI_LoginData.xml file in the profit UI folder ... there'll only be one line in the file to start with
"<Data Name="CHARACTER" password="PASSWORD" server="SERVER" username="USER"/>"

just edit that line and make more the same underneath for each of your toons ... changing the CHARACTER, PASSWORD, SERVER and USER parts to your own details of course :)

Handy feature to quickly swap toons - personally tho, I wouldn't write those informations as plain text (without encryption) to any text files. But thats just me ;)

Greetings.

Started using ProfitUI 2 days ago (downloaded the one in the RebornII thread). Amazing stuff you put in there, congratulations.

Yesterday, I did the final timed part of the Riddle of the Vault, and noticed that the timer of the quest wasn't showing. My wife, using the default UI, had the timer.

I notice there is a patch about this for LU#25, but it seems to have broken again at first glance.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

i prefer /camp charname, nothing could be faster

Well, two thoughts on this:

1. If you've got malicious software on your computer it doesn't matter that the file is not encrypted, since the program could as well read your keystrokes when you type it in.
2. It would have to be a very specific trojan that searches for that file which only exists in ProfitUI.

However, if you're still paranoid, you can just leave the password field empty and type the password in manually each time (camping to characters on the same account won't need the password, anyway).

Hmm, thanks for letting me know, I'll take a look.

Ok, I've been fiddling around with the XP window a bit and it seems to work well (except for the SOE problem). However, I was wondering if there is any combination of fonts and window variants that is tailored for the Small Sans Serif font option? When I select that one the xp numbers are misaligned and cut off.

If not, no sweat, I'll use the normal fonts. I was just curious. :)

I refuse to believe that the small fonts settings impacts the XP numbers unless you also extracted the smooth fonts package for the XP window. :p

Make sure you have the bitmap fonts, those should be resistant to any font settings (because they are technically not fonts but images).

Right you are. I did have the smooth font package installed hehe. I'll give it a go with the bitmap thingamajig. :D

Edit: Yep, bitmap pack worked a treat. Thanks. :)

One last problem...
 

Thanks for the help with my UIs other problems, but one still exists. I can't get the bottom bar to show! I can't right click on anythin on the bottom area...

Ok, so after all that stuff was thrown onto my desktop, i threw it all in the recycle bin and reinstalled the game. Followed the instructions under the download button. Still doesnt work. I have the bobsui folder and everything. Im going to try one more time or I give up. Anyone know what could possibly be happening and I loved this UI. It is great, too bad it wont work.

Make sure the ui files are installed in this folder. The zip file you downloaded is set up so that you just have to unzip it into your EverQuest 2 folder and the files will end up where they need to be. Make sure your unzip tool of choice retains folders and subfolders when you unzip, though:

C:\Program Files\Sony Online Entertainment\EverQuest 2\UI\ProfitUI\

Also, make sure that the file eq2.ini contains the following lines (make sure the capitalization is correct):

cl_ui_skinname ProfitUI
cl_ui_subdir UI/

If you don't have a eq2.ini file, make one with your favorite text editor and put it in the root of your install directory. Like so:

C:\Program Files\Sony Online Entertainment\EverQuest 2\eq2.ini

Once that is done, take one of the ini files that corresponds with your resolution and copy it to the same place where you put eq2.ini and rename the file to match your character name and the server you play on. For example, if you play at 1280x1024 you take the file named ProfitUI_1280x1024_eq2_uisettings.ini and rename it like so:

server_charactername_eq2_uisettings.ini

And that's about it. If it still doesn't work then I'm not sure what I can do to help. Of course, if you don't have the game installed in the default location just substitute the above paths with the correct one.

Ok I did the eq2.ini file and just put Ui on the first line not Profit UI. And on the second text, you cant put any slashes, at least thats what it tells me. I put the eq2.ini file in the UI folder in the directory, not exactly inside the directory, is that right? And that seems all i need to know, thanks a much!

erm, if you had to create the eq2.ini you haven't extracted the zip correctly, because it is already included in there. :p

Otherwise all that Pixi wrote is correct, so don't try to change directories.

You don't have to rename the uisettings though, deleting your own is enough, the game will let you chose the correct one upon startup then.

So I extracted the file through WinZip to the new folder in the Eq2/UI folder, is that right and is that all i have to do?

Yeah, except you extract to the EQ2 folder - not EQ2/UI. You don't have to make any folders beforehand, they're all set up properly in the zip file.

Ok will try it out and see how it goes

Actually, you should extract the zip file to the eq2 directory NOT the Eq2/UI directory.

Oops, missed the page being added here, sorry for the double response, but...err...yeah, what pixi said! :)

suggestion
 

For the tradeskill aspect....
Would it be possible to get the tradeskill window and the knowledge book reduced in size? Like the tradeskill window to 1/4 of the size it is now and the knowledge book at least 1/2 of the size it is now?
In future mods of course :)

Hey, I've been playing around with the graphics for the first time. Be afraid, be very afraid. :D

eep! :eek:

Heh, it can always become worse:

Indeed hehe. A suggestion, if I may. Try to use a more mellow nuance. Whether it's green or blue, tone it down a bit. Staring at that bright color would become aggravating after a while hehe. Personally I'm all for black or a really dark blue to match the bars and the title frames. :)

I agree with the idea of dark backgrounds.. Black, Dk Blue, Dk Purple, etc.... otherwise i love the UI

heya..im sure peeps have allready asked about this..but i am agains..

i have 1 problem atm..my exp...when i get 10..20.30..40..it only shows the 0..not the full % and at about 8-9% it hops up a 10% ..so when im like 68 or 69 it will show 78-79..that type of thing.. the never happen before lu25 of course..so if anyone can tell me whats to do would be greats thanks

Nothing you can do I am afraid, there is a problem with the way that SOE are sending XP info to the client at the moment. We have to wait for Sony to fix it I am afraid.

I really like the way DBurgdorf deals with it in his XP Mod but it doesnt really fit with ProfitUI Reborn :(

hello, i just installed this UI and this is my first time ever doing such a thing. I love it.. i got the work around for the broker window nailed down and everything is working perfectly except one small detail and im sure it is my problem. But i come to you hoping that you have heard it before or something... It has to do with my XP percentage be it AA Tradeskill Adventure etc. it shows up kinda like this 41(.4( now for the sake of graphics i will explain a bit it should read 41.40 instead it looks like im cutting the last 0 in half and moving it around in gernal that whole area seems slightly buggy i have talked to my friends and dont have that problem so i am assuming that it is me.. please help me out with this issue thank you very much

tntent, you need to enable (or disable) small fonts... dot remember which way you have to go, but it should be the opposite of what you have now.

My Eyes! My Eyes! :eek:

Yes, it's the small sans serif font that does this. Either untick that box on the options window or, if you really want the small font (like I do hehe), install the font pack named "bitmap". There's a zip file in the profit folder, just unzip it and you should be good to go.

nice UI works well installs easily

one question...

the EQ2 button where you could adjust settings camp etc...

is that available ??

thanks

The button is there, it is part of a set of 6 or 7 buttons that are in the bottom right area of the screen just above the (assuming you used one of the included UI Setting files?) Think they are set to 50% transparent until you mouse over.

I tried including profit.tga (I couldn't find profitstyle.tga anywhere in the downloaded zip file) but alas, no joy.

The bank works fine except for this missing text. Like I said, the text missing from the "open all" button isn't such a big issue, but the missing numbers next to the coin displays is a bit of a problem. I absolutely love the bank though--wish it were available as a stand-alone.

hi!!! I hope this wasn't answered somewhere else in this thread but theres like 400 pages to read andddddd I dunno how to read! But anyways...Why don't player classes show up in the group window? That a bug or was it removed or what!!! Thanks ;p
