I think what happens is that if it's a new element added to an existing DDS file then it'll fail to show at all if the UI has it's own version of that DDS file, elements in newly-created DDS files appear in the default red scheme until the UI mod adds it's own version of that new file.

Since they made a blue and red version of all the default UI windows would drag and dropping the blue ones into the profit UI folder work?

Also a big thanks to all of you that keep profit up and running. :nana::cool::nana:

I play on naggy so I did not realize what we were talking about before lol.

I saw a post from a red name in the forums indicating they had a lot of code-merge problems with this GU. A lot of things they fixed on Test didn't go into the live release, and I wouldn't be surprised if more than a few things went into the live release that weren't supposed to. This may be one of the glitches.

No, this sort of thing isn't that uncommon. Usually it happens when there's a lot of last-minute changes to requirements and a lot of "Ok, we're taking X out. No, put X back in. No no no, take X out and put Y in instead." going on. Get enough of that, and enough different people merging and reverting changes, and it turns into less a version tree and more a version bramble patch.

Mini Map Issue
 
I have used the updater to install Profit and all was good, except, I keep getting the Default Mini Map window. Not the nice clean one Profit had Pre-Update. Was wondering what I'm doing wrong here, and if it's EQ2Map thing. If it is the latter...is there a fix? Thanx for any all help and responses given. ~Xant~

If you reinstall Profit, you have to run the EQ2Maps updater before EQ2Maps will work. EQ2 Maps must always be installed after any UI, so it can add itself to the proper .ini file. The updater will fix it, so you shouldn't have to reinstall.

Thanksya!!!

Thanksya so much for the info. Would be lost without that nice little map...literally. :confused:

If im just blind ignore me :)

Could we get both spell reuse and ability reuse time added to the persona window?

DuneWarrior 08-19-2010 06:32 PM

And while im at it...

In shader 3, the dressing room and the Persona image doll is just ... horribly dim/dark with the red background..

Is this like that for everyone ?

They are both on there already under the combat stats tab.

Right you are.. found it and was on my way back to do a NM post :P ...

You got any chance to check the red/maroon Dressing room window? looks very badly on my system/settings (Shader 3 enabled etc)

TalTal 08-19-2010 08:57 PM

As far as I can determine the paperdoll background is set server side. If I find out otherwise I will change it to blue.

PrincessAriel 08-19-2010 09:15 PM

Do not know if this has already been addressed but every time I move the start button then log out and come back in it is just gone...poof. Anyone know how to fix it?

Looks like the tradeskill window is missing 1 button from the reactions bar.

Screenshot attached.

Is it possible to revert back to the mini map of eq2maps before it changed to the default as its yuk with the night/day thing stuck on it and allso it is waisting to much space around it.Ive noticed there is one for Fetish will this work for Profit?
Actually have fixed it the only 2 files that changed the skin were:-

Skinnable_Windowelements.xml
Skinnable_WindowelementsMini.xml

If you just make theses read only it will just update the poi's ect and not the skin.Theses are found in yur EQ2Map2 folder in profit UI folder
My GF takes the credit on this as I was prity annoyed with the change lol

Just rename the window from Experience to something else (e.g. ExperienceX) to break it out of the hard coded behaviour?

Every thing is live like default now:/ In regards to your files to make read only; you only need to block _Skinnable_WindowelementsMini.xml. I would suggest blocking them via the eq2map_ignorelist.xml file vs making the read only.

PrincessAriel 08-20-2010 07:54 AM

HMMM okay I just noticed something that was not there before and it is a bit strange and I was just wondering if everyone has it or what it is. When I camp to just the character select screen on the bottom I have a tiny itty pitty baby dragon and it says something about loading (but not loading entities). What is this for and hmmm why? Also I still have my question in post 91 if anyone has an answer for it.

TalTal 08-20-2010 08:35 AM

That dragon is for the streaming client. Not sure why you are seeing it if you are not using the streaming client.

No it isn't a profit thing, it is a EQ2MAP thing. It allows one to add files to it so the updater will ignore the file if it needs to be updated and not update it. UI's that modifies files that are included in EQ2MAP mostly use this file to keep it form breaking their UI.

Ok so how do I get it? as I dont have have this eq2map_ignorelist.xml does it have to be created by the UI modder ?

The persona window works but has no inventory window so if you use the profit one you'll be missing the inventory tab.

Is anyone able to advise me on how to fix/add so that I can get an inventory window?

The inventory window was removed by soe. You now use the character window available by pressing C.

chat window
 
anybody having issues with the chat window? pre-updated i had the "voice" options window just above the chat bar....it's runn-oft now. same for the actual chat bar that should show up in the same window, but just below the chat text. post update both of those have disappeared for me. i've tried messing with the windows settings (frame, frame/titlebar....used to fix it way back in the long, long, ago) and no joy:mad:




NM.....fixed itself /fail??

Hantu 08-20-2010 12:47 PM

Hey Silat, mind posting a dl'able link for the "old" persona window here i've overwrote mine by accident and am trying to make a mod to the old inventory window that just adds a small "?" button above the close button that toggles the old profile window open and closed to maybe get around using the new default supersized persona/inventory combined window... tho it seems for some odd reasion which i can't explain getting a version conflict for the converted window... and now with further testing... still can't get inventory window mod to work still has version compatability issues but have knowticed by using the "default" persona/inventory window as a Custom window it doesn't poll the skills/factions/titles till you zone and even then seems factions and titles don't work even after zoneing and not sure about skill ups showing up automatically or till you zone a 2nd time... which kinda shoots this entire idea out of the water since its not polling the info correctly since its not the "true" persona window... :(

primamezzo 08-20-2010 01:10 PM

Any chance we could get the class graphics back as the backdrop for the persona window? I liked by blue/white Lion Head. Or maybe since it's now the inventory window too if the background could match the color scheme we choose from the variables.

I will be converting it to be more like the old persona/inventory window in the near future...including the class backdrops.

I kinda like the window the way it is now. Maybe add it as a variant.

I have sent you an email as well about the files I had sent before. Well probally won't send the email until after I ding these aa's :P

Hina 08-20-2010 03:00 PM

just a heads up that the "older, larger version" of the tradeskill window is not working properly. It only displays 5/6 reaction arts in the window. the 6th can be accessed using the number 6, but it is unreliable. The smaller/default window seems to work fine.

PrincessAriel 08-20-2010 03:29 PM

TalTal

I just wanted to let you know the start button fix worked and thank you so much for your help.

Areil

P.S I had an idea for the xp bar. Would it be possible to take the coin off of it and put the start button info in it's place? Then maybe take the coin and add it to the bottom bar. I noticed with my bottom bar since soe got rid of some of the stuff I have a blank spot (where arcane, cold, etc.). Just an idea, or something I hope would help with the xp bar. Might not be able to be done but I figure any idea's at this point would help.

TalTal 08-20-2010 04:20 PM

This is a character window that is very similiar to the old persona window (Just added and sized the inventory window into it). It is much smaller than the default based one and has all the same data.

Here is a fix for the variant "older, larger version". Let me know if it works.

Please don't mod the XP and coin, it is working fine, as well as my EQ2 button (profit 9 button replacement). I have the button streatched to 1x9 and it works just fine.

As to removing stuff from the bottom bar, I am not seeing anything that was removed.

The new window is way too big, needs to be smaller. I don't care if it is split back to two windows, or just left as one, but reorged to be smaller.

i just wanted to say thx for your effort. i REALLY had big hopes for a new cool ui with modular quickbars etc. but its seems that rotghar ignored all cool ideas from his thread in this forums. :(

eternal fame for he who restores the old inv window. the new one is plain crap.

Check out my recent post for the character window and see what you think. It is much closer to the old inventory window.

Popular opinion seems to indicate smaller is better so the new version of the persona window I posted yesterday should be default. But I have asked Kaldran if he can make the current larger version a variant option.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you do keeping profit going...I'm sure it's no easy task. So THANK YOU!!! YOU ROCK!!!
