Hi Faetyl -

Just a quick question - I always download your updates but I'm just curious if you can put a change log to see what's been updated.

I looked at the version info.txt file but the last entry that I have is this -
2005-07-10 v3.8 Uploaded
Changes made include:
1.) Raid winddow
--1.1) Enlarged health bars
--1.2) Move anywhere!
2.) SkinInfo updated
--2.1) Updated info to include more detail

I've been using the .exe version for quite a while - do you think that I need to wipe out the thorui folder/reinstall it for the .txt file to update?

Either way, thank you for the update (I'm sure it'll be great!)

Starlin

If you download the new version and check the "version.txt" file that comes with that you will se the newest changes ;)

Version Info
 

Normally you can download the latest change log here as well (See attachments up top)
It was late when I got 4.1 uploaded and I completely forgot to update the Version Info log here.
Thanks for the catch, I'll upload right now. :)

If you completely deleted the ThorUI folder before progressing to the autoinstaller, you will not need to manually delete anything.
Just uninstall from the control pannel or ThorUI start menu folder and then install the latest version.

As for health and power.
Could you post a screenshot?
It may be the font difference, but i'll certainly see what I can do.
And as always, thanks for your feedback.

I will have a screenshoot up in a few sec.

Edit: pic up :)

Fonts cutoff
 

Yep, it's smooth fonts.
There's no way to turn smooth fonts on in the builder to see the layout unfortunately "That i'm aware of".
I'll get right on this and have an update ASAP (Wife allowing :p )
Until then, you could turn smooth fonts off to resolve the issue.
"In Game Options>User Interface>Game Windows>then uncheck smooth fonts"

What's your take on the color behind the name?
The only feedback i've gotten is to remove it so i'm thinking on removing it and leaving the color on the F# indicator.
What do you think?

oh :p if you mean the red line of color around the box? thats just me showing where the problem is, that i did with paint :P heheh
And thanks for the fix, and i'am looking forward to the update :)


Edit: if it is the red color that is the background on my name you are talking about if i like it or not, i think its okay, haven't really thought of it, so i guess its okay.

Player and Group Window [Smooth Font Fix]
 

Try this and let me know what you think.
Player Window replacement attached. (Right click, "save as" and replace the one in your ThorUI folder.)
I'll have the group window in a few.

Edit:
Ok, refined fonts in both player and group windows.
Try both of these and tell me what you think.

And yes F was F1 but because of the smooth font issue it was only reading as F.
This should be resolved in these files...

Edit:
Removed attachments as they were included in latest release

Okay, trying it now as soon as the update of EQ2map is done :)
Shouldn't take to long.


Edit: Yea its looking okay this to, but i didn't like that the backgroud of my name is black and the F is red, that diden't go so well together i think,
what is the "F" for anyway? or is it a misstype or something maybe it shall stand "F1" to select myself?

Edit2: But i think that red background of name and the red background of "f" would be the best maybe, and again maybe change the "F" to "F1"?

downloaded latest. did not have this ui before. changed my eq.ini to point to Thorui. game comes up, everything is fine. But crashes client whenever I examine an item.

Hi Faetyl, I downloaded your new 4.1 but when i try to download i get a messsage this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action,create a asssociation in the folder options control panel


Thanks Lady1

New UI Crashes still
 

Same experience here - I try to examin an item and crash.

Is it doing that after you have downloaded the file and when you are trying to launch the program or is it during the install process?

Have you tried to redownload and try again?

This could happen if you accidentally changed the name from ThorUI.exe to ThorUI



Thanks for your patience

Thanks for reply its right after it downloads,it doesnt go to finish button and tryed downnloading again,if i try to uninstall from control panel get same error have to mamually remove ui folder


Lady1

Wierd i've downloaded the ThorUI.exe file severals times today just to check if there was any updates :P and nothing like that has happened here.


I'll check those to updated file now Faetyl, i'll let you know what i think soon :)

delete eq2ui_examine.xml from the ThorUI folder

It slipped past me into the update somehow.
I'm working on a new release to resolve now.

Having similar problem with CTD when examining some items. Particuarly hotkey spells are causing it and some vendor items.

Edit: You beat me here with an answer. Will try now.

Edit: Seems to be working okay. Thanks!

Her is a screen, if you look on the "weeping" under the clock its seems a little bit cutted off, its not a big deal, but just something that i noticed.
Also now that the name good a little bit bigger and bolder it seems that i crashes with the frameline or what its called...

But anything else is superb done, i really love this UI, i don't regret at second on using this UI, its really really done well :)

REALLY appreciate your help testing the smooth fonts!
I'll fix the clock cut off now and see if I can bring the name down just a tad on the player and group windows.

That sounds perfect :)
You have really made it to make something special, because this is by far the best UI modification I've tested so far, so keep the good work up :)

Edit: Remember to fix the "examine crash to desktop" thing, just got it myself :P

Love the UI! :)
 

Thanks for the great UI :) I am having a problem atm. Every time I go to inspect, or examine something I crash. I am using the latest version of the UI, download a few hours ago. I am also using the map updater UI mod, and thats it, no other UI mods. Any suggestions? Thanks! :)

Yeah, it's my fault.
Answered a few threads above.
Just delete the eq2ui_examine.xml in the ThorUI folder.
I better get the fix uploaded hehe...

Thanks again and terribly sorry.

Read the postes on page 4 its just been said what you can do, but here is what you can do now: "delete eq2ui_examine.xml from the ThorUI folder"

And as Faetyl said he will be releasing a new version soon with a fix to this :)


Edit: Faetyl was before :p

Thats an update on the Name/group/clock?


Edit: And when do you think a new version will be out? :)

Wow!
 

Talk about customer service!! Thanks guys, sorry I didnt read previous post about the same problem. Thanks again :)

Nice idea that with the player hud, but as you can see, the text in the health bar is a little bit hard to see, and it also looks like the nummer 1 in "100" on the health bar is getting a little bit cutted off.

But i liked how it looked, just get the color thing fixed :)

Edit: Hmm its seems to look a little bit better on the screenshot than what it dose ingame, wierd...


Edit2: An idea, what about making the background of the health bar Red, and the background on the F1,F2 and so on, Green?
what do you think about that?


Edit3: look at the second screenshot, thinking of how the numbers are counting, its like 567/89 for me when i'am thinking of stuff like that this would be more normal for me 89/567, but thats just me :P

And remember this is some minior thing that i think should be fixed its not something that needs to be done something with, but it may help get the UI perfect? :P

Now ;)
Version 4.2 just uploaded so may be a few before it's released.

Lady1, try this one when it's available and let me know if you still have the same issue.
Also, i'm on messenger if you have it and the time to troubleshoot.

Thanks for all your help!

I've been thinking the same thing ;)
Just haven't had a chance to do anything about it.
I've got some time before the 4.2 update is released so i'll see what I can do with these windows.

Yup do what you can do, as far as i know is this UI bug free, beside of some minior thing that usual isn't so important to get fixed or that may depend on how you look at it.
But any i'll try to report everything i can if i should cross anything more so that you maybe can look into it and see what you can do :)

Its always a pleasure to help :)
And keep updating and make this UI better, i don't know what i've should have done if this UI suddenly stoped to evolve.

Testy Testy? Beta available [Player Window]
 

Let me know what you think...
It's bigger but I don't think we can get around that when adding the extra data...

Testing now, a comment about it will come soon :P

Edit: The Idea was nice, and it worked well, but i diden't quite like that the boks now became so high if you know what i mean, hmm.
I liked it to be at the same size as the group box...

But it also seems to go very well into where i just placed it right now, so i really don't know, this was hard, i think i can get used to it and i like it more.
So its up to you if you want it like that or not, its the same for me i think it works, I'am just used to that the player hud was a little bit not so high thats why i think :P

And yes my english isn't so good so let me know if you don't know what i say :P


Edit: forget all that is said here, i really love how it looks now, only thing is that the groups name is a little to near the top line, if you know what i mean(look at the 3 screenshot) so yea good work :D


Edit2: look at 00004 the screenshot, the compass, is it somehow possible to cut of some of the black there? i've tried to chop it down but can't go lesser than its shows on the screenshot there...

Try this
 

Previous beta was a taste...
Try these

As for the compass, I could cut it down but the new long zone names would be cut off.
You can turn the black background off in window options though.

Still crashing-
 

The new equi_mainhud_player.xml file fixed most of my crash woes but its still happens when trying to examine/view link in guild chat.

Great UI btw. Ty for sharing with us.

This issue was answered 2 times a few posts up. :)
Just delete the examine.xml and your set.
I goofed and let it slip in the install by accident. sorry :o

In 4.4 everything of .xml files that fixed various of things is in right?
Haven't got the time to check the thread before now, got a kickass group in EQ2 :P and now i need to go to bed, going to test out the new version tomorrow, can't wait :D

Goodnight all.

6th person in group
 

I am using v4.4

I'm digging the UI. overall it is a great.

I have an issue with one thing though. When the group is full the 6th person in the group does not show up in the window.

Maybe i missed something about this in the previous posts but I didn't see anything about this.

eek!
No that hasn't been reported yet.
I'll get right on it.

Edit:
Resolved with v4.5
Thanks for your post!

Hello, wanted to throw this out see if it can be done,the two emote buttons on the chat window can they be put inside eq2 button and have stop food and drink removed,instead of where it is now?



Thanks Lady1

Unable to click on Search boxes while at the Broker
 

EDIT: Was using v. 4.1 for some reason. Updating to the latest v. 4.5 solved the problem.

When at the Broker, I am unable to click on the Search Box.

I tested this apparant bug by changing the UI in eq2.ini so that it did not load the ThorUI. When I did so, I was able to click on the Broker's search box and enter in a string to search for as normal.

I am loving ThorUI. Great job and thank you for the sweat and tears you must have put into this.

PLEASE, do not remove the stop food/stop drink buttons. This feature is one of things that people say they like. It is kind of a reminder to turn off the food/drink when they are tradeskilling or harvesting. :)
