You prob got the update before I changed the vertion number in eq2ui_skininfo.xml is all. Update number don't realy mean any thing any more as you'll get the update as soon as I do them. I'll only change update numbers with each LU now and I may or may not remember to change the version number in the ui itself.

Is there any kind of fix or work around for this? I really don't want to use the default ui maintained window but if there is no fix I'm gonna have to =o(

I have a file LP_rgn and in there it says LP_region_En_US if that helps.

In addition when I tried to close the updater I got an error message saying " access violation at address 0040391C in module eXtreme UI_CP.exe read of address FFFFFFFC"
Tried to redownlad it and got the same error message.

just redownload installer and update your cp with that ( u dont have uninstall older version)
it will fix that problem for you

Landiin,

Thanks for fixing the problem with the buff window icon minimizing.

Help with pet attack...anyone?
 

NM about the workarounds; I figured out how to turn off the eXTreme Pet Bar and use the default; but would be great if you got around to fixing the eXTreme one. Thanks.

_____________________________

I mentioned the other day that I am unable to get several of the Pet buttons working on the pet bar, but didn't get a response. I see several others have reported problems with the pet bar, but it also looks like some have gotten it working, so I'm wondering if there's something I need to change or set up.

The bar/window is not overlapping any other windows that I can see; I can move it around at will, but certain buttons just won't activate. It cannot be resized, either, though I'm uncertain whether this is intentional or not.

At least, if there is no other solution, can someone advise how to add the Pet Attack button to the macro bars? (I did this on my main character before installing eXTremeUI, so I've worked around it there by just using the macro bar Pet Attack button...but I have a new Alt and I don't know how to access the PetAttack button without uninstalling eXTremeUI, moving the button to the Macro bar, then reinstalling eXTremeUI again).

Alternatively, is it possible to turn off the UI for certain characters, via the eXTreme Control Panel?

Thanks, hope someone has some advice.

HucksFancy,

I'll look at the pet window and see whats going on, last I loaded up a pet class all the buttons where working but it has been a bit.

woohoo got my internet connection working again.. I was out all weeking, hmm but I did get a lot of work done awround the house that needed to be done lol.

welcome back Landiin :)

Can't get eXtremeUI working...
 

I've tried installed, uninstalling, reinstalling eXtremeUI about 10 times and I have yet been able to get it to work properly. Here's what it looks like



I'm really interested in using this UI; however, like I said before, I've had problems everytime I try installing it.

Thanks

Hucks if you are not a pet class charicter then fun spell pets ect only have a protect themselves tab and a follow tab, u cannot send them in for the attack, if you are a pet class then right click pet window and turn on frames and titlebars, that will bring ur pet commands back up.. Hope this helps

Looks like you are missing or have a bad background.dds file in your extreme\images dir.

A little wish list......
 

I found a couple mods that would be great if they were implemented into ExtremeUI.

Pooka set price presets

Toggle Vault Button on Store Window

:D :D :D

Well sammeria, I'll just have to see what I can do:)

You will be receiving 2 files that will be placed in your user_settings directory. THey are aucp_Notes.xml and aucp_QuickCharSwitch.xml. These two files will replace the files in user_settings\Notes and user_settings\QuickLog here very soon and the old files will become foreign files. So if you have made adjustments to these files, you may want to copy their contents to the new ones before deleting them.

Achievement experience
 

First i want to say i love this UI. Great Job guys. When i hit "L" to bring up the achievement progression and advancement window the screen for the achievement choices is not there.
I still love the UI and the map updater its great.

It's there, you prob have an old version of that file on your drive. That file isn't a modified file so the updater will not replace is. Look advanced settings under foreign files and make sure you don't have any self modded files listed there.

question
 

ok, i installed the interface, it works beautifully, but whenever i click the eXtreme control panel link on my desktop, it doesn't show up, i did everything i knew how, but the control panel won't show up. Do you know how I can fix this?

Did you make a shortcut from the start Menu to the desktop? Reason I ask is because it shouldn't be adding an icon to the desktop. Any ways, make sure its not minimized, look over by your clock for it to be in that try and just double click the icon. If its not there try starting it from start->program files->eXtreme. If that fails go to the eXtreme ui directory and run it from there, eXtremeUI_CP.exe.

Landiin,
A question about the foreign files. Should these be deleted?? I got a big list of foreign files. It looks like alot of them are the info pages for like the class spells and what-not for the "info" button. Which I might add is AWESOME. :D :D :D

Is there a way to set the health HUD to default to being off? (I do not use it) Can I just delete the UI file for it?

2 bugs I've noticed the other day.
- The volume button does not toggle back on.
- The submit bug button in the /bug screen is not active.

Thanks for all the hardwork on this UI, do you have a paypal account, I know someone that wants to buy you a pizza. :D
Sam

Yes you can always delete any foreign files it finds. The server has a mirror copy of the default eXtremeUI and its file tree. It uses that info to create the foreign file list. So unless you have dropped in a mod or modded a file your self it is safe to delete all foreign files. Also If are not sure about deleting any of the files you can awlays use the move button. If it brakes a mod you added you can move it back.

If you have or ever do add in a mod be sure to add it's file to the exclude list. Doing this will stop the AU from updating that file and it will exclude said file(s) from the foreign file list.

The loot window when loot options are set to leader only is bugged (and has been for a long time, actually). The problem is that the "Assign" button used to give an item to the person selected from the drop-down menu is always grayed out, preventing anything from being looted at all. The drop-down menu, itself, appears to be working correctly.

The loot window is default so any bugs in it is a SOE issue or you have a old/modified verstion of it in the extreme folder. Check your foreign file list and delete or move it.

I am still getting an error when I try to open my CP , says

"Preparing eXtremeUI_CP.exe for patching.
Patching eXtremeUI_CP.exe
Error removing C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\eXtreme\eXtremeUI_CP.exe
Patch Failed!"

I get this everytime, so therefor I am not getting any patches if there are any heh

Would i be able to use "Aaelen's Complete EXP Bar" with extreme? it the only thing id change in the ui. Thanks.

Why, all of this information is available just by clicking a little button next to the current EXP bar.

My IU Looks Like This....
 

How can I get this to work and not look so messed up?

Thanks in advance.

Your verstion of eXtremeUI_CP.exe is old and has a bug in it that stops it from shoting down to be patcher. You need to delete that file and download the new install and run that to get the good current copy.

Or you can try renaming eXtremeUI_CP.tmp to eXtremeUI_CP.exe and see if that works.

Settings tab, press the advanced option button and then set up you char with the correct res settings.

It doesn't appear that your using the eq2ui_mainhud.xml

Do you have another file with these includes?

I'm playing with the mapspoiler window and having some issues :)
I'm just wondering what would happen if I include the mainhud to the ui if it will break the ui..

Adding a mainhud will not break it but SOE changes the includes in this allot and that's why I don't include a modified mainhud in the eXtreme.

The map spoiler isn't part of the EQ2MAP project so I can't help you with that. If it modifies the mainhud.xml, it'll be prone to breaking with each live update.

Ya the spoiler is an add-on and a work in progress (its neat and looks like it can be quite the timer saver) :)

I got it going with the mainhud but I'll have to find a way to see if I can get the required <include> line into something else so I don't have to fix something I can't :)

Thanks :)

If you will look in the eq2ui_mainhud_maintained.xml you will see that I use that page as my extra window include page. Feel free to add it there and don't for get to add that page to the exclude list if you do.

Foreign Files?
 

Great UI!

I have a list of 104 files that the CP says is foreign.

I have attached them in the zip folder.

Why are these foreign?
I have not changed any of them other than the protected couple.

Xathrax

They are foreign because the location of the infocenter folder was changed in order to keep it updated easier.

So it's just seeing the old infocenter files. It's save to delete them, it's safe to delete any file the CP list as foreign.

Thx. Will do.

2 problems/questions
 

Hi there,

I just installed the interface with the autoupdater, and have 3 problems:

1) in the journal, there is no enchanced info, ie lore/writs etc..

2) the interface as a whole is a mess and basically looks nothing like the screenshots lol.. i'm sure there is something I'm doing wrong, but I'm not sure what! As i've said, all i did was download/run/install the installer and auto updater. (edit: i've gone to settings/advanced and selected a char and a resolution, but it changes nothing.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I have uninstalled, deleted, reinstalled and now I am still getting this error.....

"Preparing eXtremeUI_CP.exe for patching.

/shrug works for the other 200+ people using the UI, I guess ur just unlucky.
