Findarato, do you mean the complete skins? I just came back from my vacation, so I didn't do any work on that yet, but I'll do so eventually. No ETA though. :)

Eloora and Pixi, unless you are also worried about download sizes, there is an easy workaround to your problem: Just right-click any file you want to keep, select properties and check the read-only flag. That way those files won't get overwritten on an update.

Ms. silverstep05, in the meantime you should be able to resize the bars by using the function to hide the buttons which is included in the control center.

Good thinking. Come to think of it - my file manager (Total Commander) can copy updated files only. I'm just a dingbat who hasn't thought about it yet. :p

Yes and no there is nothing to drag or resize :(

Ok, the hotbar resize problem is caused by the same change that brought the move problem. I'll upload a fixed version shortly.

I could find nothing wrong with the move area, however. It should look like this (upper right corner):


Regarding the persona window backdrops I think GU27 may have caused the white area problem if the necessary image files are not present (or I did bad testing when I designed it). I see no other solution except making the background images mandatory. I will still keep them as a separate download, however. They will not likely be changing, meaning you will only need to download them once (if you had downloaded v2.8.0, you already have them).

Exp & User info only?
 

is there away to use your Exp % number only, I like the size its big enough for me to see at a glance. heres a pic of what I'm thinking.. if you point me to the correct file I maybe able to hack the rest..

Thx,

That is the standard experience window, i.e. eq2ui_mainhud_experience.xml. Just remove all of the remaining content and you've got you number all alone. :)

Thx, but I went and loaded your new Profit Reborn, and all I can say is WOW!!!!.. I like the whole thing.. I think i might have found a glitch in the experience counter though, at 98.?% it just jump to 99.8% and then at next kill was back down to 99.1% then procceded up as normal, not sure what happen, just wanted to mention it.. though..

mine is not like urs heres my screenshot maybe u can tell me why also note ur hotbars sat the 1 23 etc crtl alt mine dont adn dont know why

The text on the hotbars can be turned off using the Frame and Title Opacity sliders in the window settings for each hotbar. :)

its all the way up and on. I might just go ahead and delete the folder and start from scratch helped last time with a issue like this

:eek:

Aww I have been waiting /cry

Feedback: Love it!
 

Just downloaded and installed per another players suggestion, so far I am loving it! One thing I am not understanding though, is the extra background(s) I had to d/l, the one on the website with the assassin graphic/background.

When/where are these used? I haven't seen it show up yet.
Thanks

Open up the persona window. There will be a background image corresponding to your character's class.

EQ2 Auto updating map
 

Thanks, I found the class image you spoke of!

Now, I am trying to determine how to use the EQ2 map with this UI. I placed the eq2map folder into the ProfitUI folder, and to no avail. Should I just copy the files from my eq2map folder and paste them into the ProfitUI folder?

Thanks for your help!

Yes, either copy them over manually or just run the EQ2MAP auto-updater.

icons too small for bags, bank ....
 

I use your UI since 4-5 days (2.8.0) I like it very much. But the icons for bank, bank, inventury are very small (I use 1280x960, windowed). Now with the 2.8.2 nothing changed with my problem. How can I change it - I want it to look like your screenshot shows: big icons. Please help - many thx.

greetings,
Haimar

The inventory slots are 32*32 pixels just like on the screenshots and are not adjustable. If it really bothers you, you can use the larger default windows with the UI. For this, just delete

eq2ui_inventory_bag.xml,
eq2ui_inventory_bank.xml, and
eq2ui_inventory_inventory.xml

from your ProfitUI folder.

hi, i´ve got the problem that this fantastic ui works fine until i target something (any target) then my the entire screen begins to flicker just like a fast slideshow... my resolution is 1280x800 and the frequency of my lcd 60Hz
is there any help u can offer ??

greetz recin

another question is the bar that shows all my stats like wis str etc and resists has closed is there a way to have it open up again like acommand?
see image below it closed and not sure how to reopen it

Actually that part never worked for me. Is that an issue with internationalized servers?

Kaldran

recin, I never heard of that problem before, but that doesn't sound good. Unfortunately I have no idea what might cause this. I hope it works alright with the default interface at least.

angelindisguise, for unknown reasons this bar gets lost for some people. I think it must be due to a corrupt uisettings.ini. Either delete it and start over or open the file in notepad, search for Memorized and change it to memorizeX. That should reset the bar to its original position.

Kaldran, if class names are translated on internationalized servers I would not expect this to work, you are right. The "my class/lvl" button on the market window won't work for you either, I suppose. Sorry, I had never ever considered this problem. It should be fairly easy to modularize the code so I can release separate language modules for localized installations. I'll do that if you post your localized class names in this thread which I just opened.

Hi,

I'm not sure if it's me being dumb, but since the last LU, I don't seem to be able to move any of my container windows around on screen. The inventory window will move, just not containers. Any ideas please?

Yeah, SOE changed that behaviour in GU27. You will need to use the little squares all containers and now also the hotbars have in order to move them around.

PS: In seeing your user name I thought for a second that he had come back to modding. ;)

Thanks for the quick reponse :nana:

Sorry to disapoint, but this is a nick I've had since my Quake 2 FPS days :)

Hi....may be a stupid question...however wehre is the EQ2 button to access stuff and get out of game? I cannot find it

is there a seperate file for the persona bar thing for each character cuase my main has it my alt does not ..SO im curious if i go and put memorizeX in the file will it mess with my main having it ..

Disregard previous post...found it. Great UI thanks :)

I do have one question...well one more...Im sick so please forgive me if this has been covered...how do I get the thing to work where I Can camp to another character?

Ok one more...is there a way to change the bag icon size for the 1600x1200 settings? They are a bit small for me to see well

angelindisguise, each char has its own settings, take the one <yourserver>_<your-bugged-char>_eq2_uisettings.ini.

Midgetoflife, bag sizes are currently not adjustable, maybe I'll add that feature in a future release. You can delete eq2ui_inventory_bag.xml from your ProfitUI folder to go back to the default bag window if you want.

Regarding the camp feature, you need to edit _ProfitUI_LoginData.xml to enter the details for your character(s).

Thanks for the updates since GU27 Gm9, good job as usual.

Two things:

1) I did some testing with the raid window and moving people around, probably not enough to be exhaustive since the raid wanted to get on and kill things, but so far I've not had any crashes using it.

2) I sometimes notice a problem where maintained spells with multiple word names don't display the full name. I haven't been able to pin down exactly under what circumstances it happens but I can reproduce it regularly. The attached screenshot illustrates... the bottom buff should be Stance: Risky Advance. I've also noticed it with the paladin buff Stance: Faithful Benediction, possibly others but these two I particularly remember. I've made the background opaque so you can see it's not down to the window size, there is plenty of space left for the text to fit in. It's not a big deal since in either case the first word is enough to tell me which buff I have up, but I thought I'd mention it.

Otherwise I'm still loving using Profit, and regularly recommending it to my friends.

Yep, I also have been testing the new raid window and so far have not crashed once while using it.

The only thing I have noticed...and it's only cosmetic really. If you arrange the groups vertically instead of the default horzontally and have it in Frame/Titlebar mode so you can see the group numbers it cuts the 6th player in group 4's name in half along the horizontal.

They're still selectable tho, so I'm more than happy to loose the random crashing and put up with that...just thought I'd point it out :)

Oh joy, good news on the raid window then. I'll fix the cosmetic issue and put the window into the full release then. Thanks you two for testing this and letting me know!

I'll also have a look at the maintained window. Either I did not allow enough space for the text, which I don't think is the case, or this is a bug in the data delivered by SOE.

Thanks GM9....ah....what do I put in that file to be able to camp to another character? The character uni settings?

If you camp to another character on the same account you can do that directly from inside the game. Use this command:

/camp charactername

The file you edit for quick-login is called "_ProfitUI_LoginData.xml". Open it up in a text editor and enter the necessary information - it's pretty self explanatory what info you need and where to put it. Just add your account username, password, what server you play on and the name of your character. Simply copy the line and enter the relevant info for all characters and accounts you want to include. If you have, say, three toons you will need to have three lines in that file - all with the account information and server information along with the different character names. :)

AWESOME! Thank you all so much for helping me out...and having patience with me! :)

Great UI love it!

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <DataSource Name="CharacterData">
<Data Name="CHARACTER" password="PASSWORD" server="SERVER" username="USER" />
</DataSource>

The CharacterData one....what do I put in there...the rest is obvious...

and do I cope the <Data Name=.... down for other characters or the whole thing.

Once again sorry to be such a noob and thank you all for your help

The one highlighted in red is the line you copy for each character you want on the quick login list. Also note that you will not be able to switch between accounts if you login via the SOE patcher - run the "EQ2.exe" file directly from the folder where the game is installed to make it work. That will also bypass the whole patcher thing, making the login process a lot faster. :)

Edit: CHARACTER = name of your toon, PASSWORD = your SOE account password, SERVER = server you play on, USER = username of your SOE account.

Just in case. :)

EditEdit: You do not have to edit anything except the one highlighted in red. The CharacterData line (<DataSource Name="CharacterData">) does not have to be edited at all.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <DataSource Name="CharacterData">
<Data Name="CHARACTER" password="PASSWORD" server="SERVER" username="USER" />
</DataSource>

The CharacterData one....what do I put in there...the rest is obvious...

Once again sorry to be such a noob and thank you all for your help

Sorry the last one was a mistake....thank you I understand now! :)
