With this comes "The return of the mashed experience numbers".

Also the fetish maps are not working correctly. When you minimize the map it's not framed right, and once it's minimized it will not return to normal size. In other words you cannot "normalize" the map.

To bed before I find anything else...

I just redownloaded the UI and I noticed that on the perfomance/xp window, you spelled "shaders" wrong hehe you spelled it sahders. spell effects and quality are also cut off a little bit. on the same window, the window you get when you click info, some of the words are overlapping making it hard to read. On the target window, you used to be able to show it as just the name and health/power bars, with no background, now I'm not sure if this is just me, if it is could you tell me how to get the background to go away? thats how I liked it lol.

That is all for now. Keep up the good work.
**Note** I sound like I am critisizing, I am truly not lol, just letting you know so you can fix it and continue to perfect this UI :)

Hey Landiin, is the crashes you are talking about the out of memory crashes? Cause I seem to be getting a bunch of them and was wondering if it was related to the UI?

Hmm just got dont playing and the maps where working.. I'll take a gander at it. Mashed experience is the best experience lol.. grr ok will fix that also.

DANG my wife, I told her to get me a beer and spell check!!! lol j/k.. Thanks for bringing that to my attintion.. I R not the best speller. Yes I changed the way the backdrop was displayed on the target. I'll put it back so u can fade it out.

Note: none taken, without ya'lls eye catching this stuff it would never improve. by all means let me know:)

Im thinking it was. Because ever time the computer would be under a heave and I would switch display settings I would get that error soon after. That started around umm 1.11.2 or 3.. I have been using 1.11.5 for 3 days and no crashes and been putting it through the ringer.. If you are still getting the error with 1.11.5 let me know.

gonna load it up now and I'll keep an eye out...thanks Landiin

NEW TODO LIST:

1. Fix the mashed experience numbers.
2. Correct some spelling errors.
3. Fix some words running off the edge.
4. Make the backdrops of the target and implied aboe to fade again.
5. Pray that Kagnar isn't still crashing with 1.11.5
6. Map issues?
7. Bigger inventory window and make it pop out when u press the I key.
8. look into the ^^ not showing up over mobs name.( i refuse to make the font smaller)
9. Fix the overlapping words in teh info window.
10. UI settings files for mortals

Things I don't plan on doing unless every one wants to see added

1. A new knowledge window.. I like fetishes.. but if I get all kinks out who knows.

Things I can not fixe because of SOE

1. 3 tone colored health bars in the group and raid window.
2. Saving the sound settings.

Also for them that requested guild logos I didn't forget about you, I am just super busy in RL ATM.

Here's a quote from Live Update 12 on the test server:

- UI modders will be pleased to find that group dynamic data now works properly. Mod away!

You might be able to do this soon.. Keep your fingers crossed..

bad news LAndiin.....just crashed on me....was in my room, and after setting some stuff for sale...it died on me again...same thing... Critical Out of Memory Error....

I have no clue whats going on.

EDIT: Also so you know.....seems ability queueing is broken or something

Oh and I am using mackgee's addon

Landiin - the knowledge window is still causing some EXTREME lag (sorry, bad pun), is there any way i can fix that, i'm not afraid of a big, bad .xml file...

oh, and shaders is spelt wrong on the quick bar (it's got sahders or something)

other than that, this is an awesome mod - best so far

Hmm, if you don't mind can u try doing this. Delet your extreme directory and unzip clean from the 1.11.5 if u didn't already. Then make a copy of your ui settings file and then delete the one ur using and use the one in my zip or just let the game make one. You don't have to fix it all back nice I just wanna see if it crashes with it. Just grasping here but maybe the ui settings file is saving some sort of data thats makeing it do that. I can't seem to get it to crash on mine. I'll keep trying now though.

Thank :) I'll check into why its makeing lag for you. If I was a betting man I would bet its the blue background that he used for the backdrop for the spell names. Just delete them and I bet ur lag is gone.

Well on the last time i loaded your UI in.....i did delete the entire directory, load in 1.11.5, and the patch from mackgee...and i used his uisettings file and made a couple changes....i'll try reloading it tonight and try a bunch of zoning....i really think it has something to do with the zoning cause it almost always happens when i zone or when im about to (i.e. clicking on the bell or a door)

EDIT: I am currently going after a full clean install of EQ2 right now...cause this basically all started when i had an issue in DFC one night...was first time I ever got an error like that

I am having a couple of issues using your UI currently.

1) Whenever I have a message in the bar to the left of my main Hotbar (spell names, fizzle messages, etc.) I am unable to use my first few hotbar icons until the text in that bar is gone. Hope I am explaining the problem well enough... perhaps the overlay for text to put in that spell cast bar is running over the hotbar?

2) When in my "merchant mode" in my house and I have my store open , I am unable to use the "Find this item" feature in my store window to correctly list prices for items to compare. The button works, the item name appears in the sort box of the newly-opened broker window, but clicking on FIND in the newly-opened Broker window is having no effect. In order to see any others selling that item, I must clear the box by hitting RESET and typing in the item name manually to get a list of sell prices from other sellers in town for each item.

3) Using the HELP window from the OPTIONS popup window is not allowing me to select a topic in the list offered for any search parameters I input. I see the list of article subjects but am unable to mouse over any to sucessfully click to see the contents of the article in the HELP database from SOE... I can use the default window in a default UI fine so I know it is not an SOE problem.

4) in the "inventory window" when I have the coinage window showing, dragging coin to trade with a player or with my bank results in the amount-selector box being hidden behind the main window. I cannot use the selector window to choose coin amounts without moving the inventory window down every time I use the feature. Makes it very tedious when trying to move coin currently.

Think those are all the big issues I have found in the couple of days I have tried this UI. It was a clean install and was happening as of 1.11.4. I see you have a update 13 Jul that is 1.11.5, but dont see any of these issues addressed in your notes so figure they are still there. However, I have installed the new update and will log in shortly to see if the problems I describe are still present.

Here is the update so far.....

reinstalled EQ2, full update on it including the optional voice packs, and then setup my graphical options...which are a hair above High Performance...

Installed eXtremeUI without the extra patch and without using your uisettings file....im gonna let EQ2 make one and im gonna run for the night and see when and if I crash out...will be fighting in splitpaw some tonight...when it crashes i will let you know what i was doing and how long it took...

Out of Memory error still exist =( I removed the folder then put a new one in and still happens =( Would prolly just be easier to remove all the crap and just go w/performance pannel would clear up some room also

got it again tonight Landiin.....zoned into QH from greystone heading towards the bell area.....didnt make it to the bridge...seems to be the same place i always crash in QH hehehe

I end up at the character select screen when zoning very often after this update ...Seam to happen the most when zoning out from my inn, but also at other places ...i will try to delete the Ui directory and the "server_name..." file and see what happens..

Seam to be working better now (used a clean unzip and new Ui settings from MackGee's Tweakpack) ...will have to try it out more tonight after work to really know...

Thank you Landiin for the update btw.. it sorted out alot of issues :)

1. Noticed that last nite myself.. The skill I have on them buttons are long lasting so I hardly used them but I did run into this last nite.. Will get if fixed;)

2. That should of been fixed in 1.11.5, or it works on my copy. Will double check.

3. that should of been fixed in 1.11.5 also and it works on my copy and again I will double check.

4. oh ha! the amout thing. I thought yall wasn't able to drag coins in and out and that was working so didn't give it much more thought, I'll fixe the amount selecter to popup in the middle of the screen.

Ok, I can not get my EQ2 to crash at all after 1.11.5. I ran through QH on extreme quality graphic setting at 2fps for 15 min, then progressed down the scale using the display settings panel every 15 min. Then I did the same for the preset with out any crashing. Now I am trying to think of the most demanding zone and DFC comes to mind. I beg 3 friends to go there and believe me it took begging. One loaded an alt that was doing the sword quest and we went in and completed the quest with out any crashing and I did randomly change display settings and let me tell you one thing. You DO NOT want to be in there with full on graphics with all the orcs running amuck lol.

Any ways, the 2 or 3 of you that are having this issue I am interested in the exact text the error says and also what are your system specs and do you have the most current drivers installed?


My system specs

CPU: AMD 3500+ 64 bit
RAM: 1.5G ram
Video: Gforce 5950 ultra
MB: ABIT KV8MAX3
HD: WD 10k RPM SATA hard drive
Sound: Generic internal sound card
OS: Win XP PRO

All drivers and bios are the most current or beta.

I get the memroy crashes all the time, but I don't think it is from the UI, I think my computer just sucks. I am running on 2 256 rams, which I am told is the bare minimum. I don't know anything about computers, so, lol I get lag so bad sometimes, it take 10 minutes to zone, or takes 10 minutes to get from the begining of the qeynos docks, to the bell... even if I have graphics all the way down. Its even worse when it rains. But like I said, I don't think it's the UI, perhaps your computer is as crappy as mine? This is directed to the people who kept saying they were getting memory crashes, sorry I can't remember your names, and I didn't copy and paste a quote, hehe.
P.S. Anyone wanna chip in to get me a better computer :p haha j/k

I run 2x mahinces and both get the error so its def the UI never happens if I use laffs :nana: :nana: :nana: :nana: :nana:

Both run XP Pro and have lestest drivers =)

the one time it droped was when I was trying to select a destination when I died in a raid ..... I usually run raids in High Performance and non raids in High Imagery or Ballanced depending on the zone and I also changed the gfx settings thru the options menu a few times and it still got the error. How about you just make a version w/out the crap in the exp bar and send it to me and ill run it.

Also can the inventory be detachable

Usually 1-2 hrs of play will cause a crash. Out of Memory Error blah blah blah

I did read someplace that the latesest Nvida drivers were causing crashes on some systems playing EQ2..... Roll back to the last one and try that.

The experiance window just grab the one out of Perdition bottom or Laffs alt Perdi and drop it into this UI's folder it should fit in the slot.

I think the gfx names are diffrent in the extreme ui cus I did put the one in there and didnt work but maybe that was laffs lite

Noticed something else, sry lol, in the market window, when you are searching for items it isn't showing the colors, by colors I mean, red for cannot use.. etc, maybe its just me?! lol could have sworn they were working earlier today

ok im not at home so i cant give you the full stats of the pc and stuff...

Error message is: Critical Out Of Memory Error when EQ2 requested <some amount> of bytes ((its something like that))

I switched down to Very High Performance instead of my normal tweak settings and it seemed to work better.....I think it just might be that the UI demanding a bit more than normal and in high areas it just doesnt like me....did several zones and running through QH and everything seemed to work well last night once I made that change.

EDIT:
A couple other things Landiin.... the hotkey bar that sits with the maintained spells....that one is not queueing at all

Also im getting that wierd color issue with the group window and the bars over the mobs...i know there is a fix and was wondering what it is.

KK thats what I was thinking with all the backgrounds that are use.

untill LU12 the group bars will be a funky color untill a persn takes about 10% dmg and eq forces a color chage. Same for raid and the bars over the mobs.

Now if your taget,player and other bars are doing it, its a ui_setting issues.. U would think they would fix that huh?

Landlin (or anyone who mods UI's) which .xml am i looking at to change that background on the knowledge window? - and what specifically would i be looking for? (i'm thinking of giving the background that the UI has - the peridigraphics one)

i'll keep hunting around the .xml's that have anything to do with knowledge and hopefully be able to work it out - but any advice is good :)

Thanks Landiin....I wont worry too much about it....was just curious if the colors was an issue...the other bars are fine.

And the backgrounds issue is fine, cause the game still looks ok on Very High Perf

Update 1.11.6
 

Update 1.11.6

===============

• Fixed Hotkey resizing, they are still a tad quirky but they will resize
• Made it where you can hide the Controls on the Hotkeys by hiding the title.
• Removed some backgrounds from the knowledge window that was causing some people some lag
• A new and improved inventory window. You can now open and close the mini inventory by pressing the I key. The mini-inventory has been scaled up a lot.
• Repositioned the read out of the stat strip.
• Added your location readout.
• Made the clock window appear in the empty “dead” space in the compass window. It may require some adjustment on your part.
• New UI Setting file for 1600xXXXX
• Removed some unneeded graphics and controls.
• Added group member stats to the group window. ( This will be a static value until LU12 is pushed out but should come alive as soon as it is) Just trying to stay ahead of the game.
• TONS of internal changes.

Well crashed again last night....in QH...on Very High Performance....just don't think my pc likes your ui Landiin

Tweakpack is now Vispack.
 

I have removed the old Tweakpack and have renamed it Vispack. I have not submitted ini files this time because Landiin has taken care of that in release 1.11.5. Anyhow, all I did here is make all the fonts on the bottom windows size Arial 14, which in my opinion is more visually pleasing.

I used the same pet, and implied target window from the old Tweakpack, and modified the casting bar so it could fit two lines of text. That way the spell you’re casting doesn't get clipped. The breath bar is half the size it was before, because especially for a necro it's not a very important bar.

If there are requests to have the ini files added back, then I will do so.

I have re-submitted it as an add-on for this UI.

Landiin,

A few things about this last release.

1. I love the new inventory window.
2. The exp percentages are still mashed.
3. There's a bug when you click though the inventory windows where it shows the common slots, bags, then cash. When you get to your bags the second and third bag show the two common slots from the previous click. See screen cap for details. Screen is clicked to show bags, I only see 1st, 4th, 5th, ad 6th bag.
4. Suggestion: In your new inventory window, why not do away with the click to see the money, and put the money where you have the Giant class and level, that way every time you hit "I" you'll not only get your inventory, but also your cash.


That's it for now man.. Keep up the good work.

MackGee

Bags in Inventory
 

Hi

i´ve a probleme with my UI Mod!!!!
I cant set new positions for the bags in my inventory
What i´ve done wrong??

While I love your UI, I would like to see one change. I use a 19" LCD and it has a max resolution of 1280x1024. If it is at all possible I would like to see a uifiles file for that resolution currently you have 1024x768, 1600x1024m and 1600xXXXX.

Try this one.. I had it in my add-on , it's for 1280x1024

What do you mean u can't set new positions? Like u can't move bag from inv slot 1 to inv slot 5?

Landiin,

The fetish map that you added has some a problem when you try to shrink the map. It shinks good the first time, then when you try to normalize it, it wont re-size. It stays shrunk until you log out.
