ooh. 32 coming up with some ui changes I do believe.

or..... maybe not :nana:

Vert 3.4
 

Wow.... can it be true? a new version of vert?

yeah i havn't played since EOF, so i admit, since nothing was game breaking I wasn't working on vert... but new LU, it's probably about time i updated... so here it is, vert 3.4.

Changes
---------
LU32 Compatable (at least as far as i tested everything...)
Achievement window has been fixed
achievement merchant window fixed
bags should be fixed

as always, post bugs you find and i'll try to fix them.

Obviously I have way too much time on my hands.
I cant remember what it was from but I clicked on something yesterday and it came up with a window with a black square in the middle that I couldnt get rid of ???

I'll try and remember what it was from ASAP.

thanks for the update Ranot :p

Hey first things first, love the use of Jaxel's start button, and the mod overall, I used Vert myself in EQ1.

Was wondering if the Ctrl + ~ for the startbutton for Jaxel's was the default button for something that could be changed in the controls section? I customized my controls, and am really not looking forward to remapping them all again. I tried the Ctrl + ~ just incase it was a static control, but nothing happened. Any ideas you got would be very much appreciated.

It should be the key bound to show/hide the start button (alt-~ by default not ctrl-~). I'm looking into ways to make it show all the time, so hopefully soon it won't be needed.

Alt, my bad =) so the default for the Menu button (not the menu itself) as it doesn't seem to have an option for startbutton for controls configuration.

(EDIT) Got it working.

I rather like this mod thus far with one major caveot, which may very well be my missing something. Is there a way to have the targetting window display spell effects (debuffs particularlly) on the target? I've been playing a defiler and seeing the current debuffs/dots on a target as I tab through an encounter is extremely handy. I used the original Vert UI back in my EQ1 days and would love to use this new itteration in my toying with EQ2. Any advice is certainly appreciated, and keep up the good work.

One last thing I've noticed, if you pull up the quest log, it doesn't seem to have a scroll bar to cycle through the quests on the left.

Any Ideas on this, as trying to replace the quests journal didn't seem to fix it..

I've actually been trying to figure this one out... all the code is in place, and the windows are set to work when compared to the default UI, but it dosn't, it is definately being worked on tho so hopefully soon it'll be in place and working.

I'll add it, at one point all scroll bars in vert were hidden ones so mousewheel would still scroll, and it looked cleaner, enough wanted them back that i've been replacing them as people comment they found one missing... as for trying to replace it with a new one, with the way vert works it wouldn't go since I've modified the default components to use vert images so converting new UI pieces would be easier.

Did a wipe and reinstall of the UI folder from a fresh download, seems the scroll arrows are pulling up good now, did run into another thing while doing the JBoots quest. The timer that is supposed to count down on the smaller quest screen does not display the time,b ut does display the word time, and a black box. I fogot to get a screen shot, but can do that tomorrow. Keep up th excellent work Ranot =)

hhmm. cant edit macro's now :eek:

fix coming Ranot? I just did a fresh install 3 days ago :confused:

is the macro window the only problem with LU33? lol havn't been ingame since I updated it for LU32 so no idea what might of broken :P

also noticed that I can't edit the guild MOTD.

the macro thing really sucks,hehe. makes it kinda hard to assist. good thing Im MT for our guild. :nana:

I havent noticed anything else so far. oh yeah. cant do the achievment reset either, get the message "ui not compatible" or whatever. which was no biggie. could revert to old UI ,then go back to vert, but then i have to re-arrange all my hotbars when that happens :(

can you fix my lag also??? haha. :jk :p

There is also a new Bag Option that doesn't seem to work.

V3.5
 

well, here it is, took longer then expected because i was trying to figure out why some things people were saying don't work (like bag options) worked for me...

my only suggestion is install this from scratch, see if that helps... could be left over files from older installs, could be something was missing...

Updates
---------
LU33 Compatable - yep that means new macro window is in and working
Achievement Merchant - Try #2 on this one... seems to be working for me after
the fix, hopefully it does for you aswell.

The UI
 

As many may of guessed I don't play EQ2 anymore, I've only been keeping my Account active strictly to login after LU's and fix the UI...

If anyone wishes to donate towards this cost i'm incurring just for the UI you can always do so to [email protected] on paypal.

I will never require anyone to pay anything as UI's should always be free :)

Woot!!
Thanks Ranot.
cant donate right now, but I'll try in the future. :D

Hi Ranot. Been using Vert Reborn and love it. Thanks for the great work on this.
One issue I'm having is the start button keeps defaulting back to the standard button without the nifty doodads you've added.
If I start a new character and login, I get it. I log out, then back in it's gone.
If I use load_uisettings between characters to load a profile it doesn't show up. Just the standard Start button.
Is there something I'm missing? I read through some of the info but didn't want to go through the whole thread. my apologies if this is something that's been covered.

Thanks

This is a bug with the start button, there is no way to have it display right away that I have found, to load it just press 'alt-~' twice, first time will hide the start button, second time will bring it back along with the extra buttons, or you can manually start it with /show_window MainHUD.Inventory (macro possibility for easy start..)

Thank you Ranot.
Sorry if you'd covered this already and thanks for taking the time to help me.

:D

Any chance of a screenshot showing the new goodies that has been added since the time of the shots in the download area? With gm9 missing in action I'm starting to think I need a backup UI before long and so far Vert would definately be my choice.

I'm actually totally impressed that this UI has survived for sooo long. I used it in EQ1 waay back when. :)

It actually has not changed much at all since the pictures that are there, which is why there's been no new ones.. I've asked a few times what people would like to see added feature wise but either got no response, or the ones I did get were added so it's just been basically trimming down the windows as sony releases them and keeping it looking neat and tidy compared to the default one.... not to say new features won't get added, but people have to want them before i work on them.

Ah ok. Fair enough hehe. Thanks. :)

just noticed something. not sure if its a UI issue or not.

I have a hotkey default setting changed. I have my 'tab' button mapped to my scroll wheel on my mouse. and I have the auto-run button changed to '0'.

anytime I click on "options' to change any other setting..it reverts the changes I have made back to the default settings.

is there a way I can fix this? or is it related to the UI?

There is a another way to do it with a marco to pull up the window, but that still requires you click on the macro once in EQ2. I'm at work atm, so I'll edit this post with the line to put into the macro once I get home.

EDIT
here's the Macro text. not sure if it will work for you or not, but works like a charm for me, then again I am adding in mods on top of this UI.
/show_window mainhud.inventory

Keep up the great work man, could really use the GU34 update when you get time, they messed with the menus...

yup. cant go to my options menu anymore-makes Coica sad :(

ok, I have even tried another UI. ugh. I love vert reborn?!

you still there Ranot?

*slips in quietly, dropping off the LU34 version, tho does not guarantee or promise anything works since it's all done based on the compares instead of actual patch.*

In order to do the new update with the number of new files... i'm gunna need help in obtaining the new default UI since without an account, you can't patch

If anyone is willing to help send me a PM so we can discuss how to get it to me.

PM sent, just in case nobody else has yet.

3.7
 

Should be LU35 compatable, as always... any problems let me know, untested in the actual game world so i'm sure there will be 1 or 2...

thanks for the continued hard work. I found a few small things:

1.) The scroll in the /claim window doesn't show & even clicking in the area doesn't seem to work. (have to revert to default UI to use the claim window, even removing the claim XML file doesn't fix this)

2.) Other UI's do not show in the loadui screen (thankfully there is a Load Default button for getting back to default for #1).

Do keep in mind that other windows with Scroll, like the Recipes window work fine, so I'm thinking its not an issue with the entire ScrollbarStyles file, probably just the parts interfacing with the two windows above.

Fixed 1 (and found it also worked in added on mods) by looking at the scrollbar section of the file in the Tradeskill window, and noticed the ones that did work had a different style within the brackets for the scrollbar:

Style="/ScrollStyles.default_vscroll"

yeah the hscroll used there was something done to keep scroll bars hidden but usable but dosn't seem to work right. changing it to vscroll makes it the real scroll bar.

To fix the loadui just copy eq2ui_ccgenerallist_template.xml file from default into vert, it'll be included in future versions... not sure when the next one will be as i'm thinking of adding things, but without being able to test them i'm being cautious (adding click item name's / quests to search them on eq2i, clicking player names to search them on eq2players, clicking guild names to search them... and possibly click to cure tho trying to find a way to do it without attempting several spells like the current ones do... tho since the great UI modders who know a heck of a lot more then I do are using the multiple spells it may be the only thing i can do..)

Just like the update for LU35, if people want the LU36 compatable vert i'll need someone to send me eq2ui_inventory_dressingroom.xml from the default UI.

GU36 interface compare ;)

Aye I know about the compares, but that dosn't provide the new files needed for doing window changes. I could use the test version but it's unreliable to be the exact needed for live.

Oh right, I hadn't even noticed that new files are only listed, not visible on the compare. Sorry about that. See attached. :)
