Any chance you could add a more visible indicator for when auto-attack is on? The flashing name is just too easy to ignore. I'm thinking a glowing light in the target window, or something.

Great UI!

Thanks, that worked I got the target window now.

btw, this is how I got my UI set up with TyeJae Steel and some others that I found around this site. :cool:

*sorry about the pic size, I don't know how to have pictures posted as 'attachments'* :(





I think that this UI would be awesome with the quest journal skinned. I also would like to have more effect on who's being attacked *if possible*. But what I really would like to see is perhaps having the target bars bigger so they can handle names. If you look in the window the target window smashes the name together, and the same goes for main target window as well with names like "swashbuckler" and such.

Thanks again for the help.

How do you get the graphic for the time to show?

Also, is there a modification that has both exp bars on that little tab, like in the screenshot that was posted earlier? (late january / early february) ?

It would be nice to see both bars at once instead of having to click to see one or the other.

The dual xp bars player window was scrapped for the single bar since more people wanted it that way than otherwise. As for the clock, download this file and add it to your custom folder.

I put this code into the implied target window to accomplish my goal:
It didn't work though. The L: shows up still. In fact, I put all the data except the hp/mana bars (which are in their own page) and the L: and the tier indication were "always on."

Any other ideas?

EDIT: Figured it out. I added DynamicData="/GameData.ImpliedTarget.Health" to the Page tag that held just the L: and now it works. I guess that Data tag also tells things how to act when they are included in that particular page.

Fixed implied target file attached.

ok Guys I have downloaded the files you left, pasted them to the Custon UI folder, Saved them to the Custom UI Folder, Converted them to a Zip file and saved t hem to the custom UI folder and NOTHINGGGG!. Now you see why I dont make my own mods lol. Could you please give me a little techinical support on this one? What am I possibly doing wrong?

HEllo All :)

Because some people wanted to have a quest helper that looks like the other interface part, I made one using TyeJae Graphics.

Here is what it looks (1280*1024):

[edit] updated with Aalwein correction

awesome, perdition, but don't we need a .dds to put in the images directory along with that .xml file? =)

Hello Aalwein :)

No new image is needed because I'm using Tyejae images (just resize and shrink to have this result ;) )

Ps:sorry about yours but I'm not able to use your image and I don"t have photoshop or any other graphics tool to check it.

Hello all,

Love the UI, and kudos for the improvements on the Implied Target and Journal.

I have a problem with my chat windows, when i attach a tab it doesnt show on top the window. So i basicaly have 4 windows open when i only want 2. Any help would be appreciated.

I aded in the quest helper window and It is in the right place with all the ransparency bars turned to normal and it doent not work, I select a quest in my journal and it doent show up in the window.

I finished a quest as as I got credit for doing parts it still did not work. Do i have to do anything other than add it do the UI directory?

Awesome mod
 

I must say this mod is awesome and I really do hope you plan on updating it as new features are added to the game. Every thing seems to work great for me except for I can't get the Implied Target window to show. Is there anything I am missing? I tried a few of the implied target window mods on this site but still cannot get any to show.

That's totally okay Perdition. I'm just glad we've got a skinned piece finished. Oh and read on...

I fixed this issue, although I'm more than certain Perdition could have fixed it on her own. Just saved her some time file attached.

Also, I could not get the implied target to work

Thank you for the fixed file I am going to test it out now

i'm not sure about the implied target issue. try adding to your eq2ui_mainhud.xml:

or save this file to your custom ui directory. lemme know if that helps. also try hitting ALT+T a few times see if it's something simple like that.

also attached is a target_window that stays on at all times for those of you who would prefer that sort of thing.

ok Guys I have downloaded the files you left, pasted them to the Custon UI folder, Saved them to the Custom UI Folder, Converted them to a Zip file and saved t hem to the custom UI folder and NOTHINGGGG!. Now you see why I dont make my own mods lol. Could you please give me a little techinical support on this one? What am I possibly doing wrong? Even the new Files you have posted I cant get to work. ANY IDEA I love what you guys have done here.


M

Did you make the custom eq2.ini file?
gotta make sure you open notepad or something and save the file as eq2.ini

Inside it you gotta make sure that:

cl_ui_skinname TyeJae_Steel
cl_ui_subdir UI/


is in the file.

Otherwise I don't know what the problem is. :/ :confused:

Hehe It seems that I again mix the files from my personnal Pc to My pc at work :p

Thanks Aalwein to fix it, working as a team always better for all :)

So far so good. I love the way this UI is turning out, especially with the journal skin. Only thing now though, is that I have no place to put my artisan bar. I know people seem to prefer switching between the too, but I actually do like having both on the screen. I really think it'd fit nicely underneath the original exp bar as an attachment of some sorts.

I do have one question, I seem to have trouble inspecting people through the target bar. I target someone, right click the name in the bar and it just shows window options. I don't know if it does this because of how the bar is now made or what. Just wondering if there's a way to fix this to where you can get more options than just "window" in the target box.

I do not understand why you are converting them to a zip ? :confused: Is it really what you mean ?
Are they zipped in the custom directory or are they normally put in?

If you want and implied window until I can do the update in a little over a week, you can drag the implied window from the default folder over to the TyeJae_Steel folder and wala you have the implied target. I will be skinning the implied target in the future.

TyeJae

OK here is my list of things I need to do when I get back...please feel free to let me know if there is anything I am missing.

1) Skin the implied target.
2) Skin the quest helper for the upper righthand corner of the screen.
3) Finish the HO wheel with the new look.
4) Redirect my images so they pull from with the MainHUD files and not from outside those files.

Am I missing anything? Also in the next update I will not be including the 3/4 Hotbar and non tabbed chat windows. If people want those they can download them.

TyeJae

Additonal add
 

Can you also add prestige points to the money window?

Is there a way to remove the stats bar under the team bar ? I don't need to always see it....
Otherwise, great work !

This is something I would like so I will look into it when I get home from work.

This is an important feature of TyeJae's UI. The actual stats could be removed but you'd end up with the steel graphic there and all that blank space. It's just not in the vision of the project to remove it. If you want to fool around yourself with the UIBuilder you can just resize the window to cut that part of the window off. Just open the eq2ui.xml file from the custom directory in UIBuilder, select mainhud from the tabs, and select the group window from the left hand menu. resize the window until you are satisfied with what you see.

This isn't real clear but I hope you don't mean that you are going to keep all the mods in the mainhud. What Perdition meant by her post is that it is much easier for people to mod a UI when the individual pieces are modded instead of files like mainhud.xml. This way if someone doesn't like just a piece of your mod (like the experience bar issue) they can change just that and can still use your mod.

BTW, I hope you don't mind that Perdition and I have hijacked so much of your UI. It's an awesome HUD and modding bits and pieces, especially parts you don't yourself change, makes the game that much more fun. It's the ultimate form of flattery. :)

Thanks aalwein works now :)

Ok i have a real problem now. since there is no implied target window in the mod, i went back to stock, for that, i just deleted the eq2.ini file since no other files were created/replaced. Now, my implied target window is weird. I target a player that target a player, and the implied target shows "group" under the implied target (PC) life...... help !

I have no problem with you guys stepping in and making changes, especially because I don't have the time to spend on the project that I would like to spend on it. There are so many ideas coming in and suggestions and I plan to try to implement most of them but not all.

TyeJae

Hey guys I finally got the xml files to load in properly, the Journal Looks AWESOME. Gives the whole UI that fantastic TyeJae Steel Look. I do have one possible Request TyeJae, could you skin the chat windows to have the steel look to their borders? As well as possibly skinning the Hot Bars as well then then entire layout of my UI will look like steel.

Thanks for the AWesome UI TyeJae. Thanks to Aalwein and Perdition as well for giving us their additions to this UI until the "official" TyeJae additions are released.

You all have made EQ2 so much more enjoyable.

Hello All :)

Here is a try for the Skined Mainchat

Could anyone test it cause I cannot do it for now being at work :p

It does look nice indeed ! Maybe a little too green compared to the steel color of the ui. just my 2cp though :)

Lol i'm using the TyeJae image so it's the exact color, it's just the screenshot that change it , so color are perfect in game ;)

wow somehow i see it green.... lol

Hello Again :p

Here is a test for the Hotkey that fit with the mainchat style ;)

This MOD looks great until I put it in 1024 X 768 res. I would love to use it and take full advantage of my 1600 X 1200 graphics capability but at 1024 X 768 different windows are huge i.e. the inventory screen takes up half of my screen (21" Viewsonic). I am a newb but I would like to take full advantage of this MOD so that I can use it at 1600 X 1200 and have the steel status bars go completely across the top of the screen since they do not in 1600 X 1200 res. Can anyone help me? and/or is TyeJae planning on releasing it in 1600 X 1200?

Ok i give up. I tried to resize the background so i don't see the stats, removed the coins, the clock, the name of the zone. then i added the temporary mod for the implied target... the result is chaotic... i guess i'm stuck with stock ui if i can ever get the IT window back in order...

I would have thought everything would be tiny on a 1600x1400 resolution... but I can't test it because my monitor wont go that high res. Degolas check my fix for Brimztone's problem, I think you are having the same issue. As for your group menu, i'll slap something together and cut out the stats and coin for you as best I can do. Keep in mind it will look kind of wierd b/c the graphics will just abruptly end.

Lemme get home from work and fed and I'll look into this stuff. I'll also check out your latest, Perdition. I'm using frameless 3/4 hotbars and chat-input-less chat window mods but I'll test them for functionality.

I try my Mainchat and hotkey and it works :)
hope you like it ;)

Anyway you guys can get the Hot keys to Resize? I love the Main chat windows and the Hot bars but would like to resize the Hot bars.


M

I play in 1600x1200 and the only diff is that it leaves a lot of free space because it is actually way smaller. I personnaly find that better since i try to have the most visible surface as possible.
I tried to redux and remove the stuff i don't need, it did work but the IT window was all messed up. I had to delete my character ini file (server.name.ini or something like that) and do my ui all over again to get the IT back ! Now I'm using stock ui again, i'll try to go from scratch and keep a backup of my ini file, don't want to do it all over again lol

BTW, when i exit the UI builder, it always says "xxx of memleaks detected", is that supposed to happen ?
