Looks like this is the way to go

I re-activated my account this weekend and loaded up the newest version of Fetish Nightfall and it worked perfectly for me.

Just want to say thanks Zonx for your hard work. Great UI!!!

Persona Bar disappearance
 

As others have said, I believe the option for a donation to be a good one, and will be donating from my next paycheck.

Having said that, I updated to 5.4 and have a couple glitches to report.

In the tradeskill window, as of 5.4, in the box to the left of stop/repeat, the icon square turns red/green instead of the gray it used to. How can I get the gray back? The red/green is very distracting to the eye.

Also, if you click the edit button, the filter line on the top of the window has a brown background, instead of the usual white. Not sure when that started.

And, no matter what I try, my persona bar will not show on my screen. I have read the .doc completely, from start to finish, and altered my persona, clock, and compass files as the .doc shows. When I open the persona window, and click the personabar button, nothing happens. I even did the 'window default location' with no results. I have included the files, hoping someone can tell me where I'm going wrong, as I find the personabar to be a necessity.

Yep, the manual install should still contain the older setup, just don't run the updater for now ;)

FYI I have confirmed EQ2Maps has pushed out a major overhaul. I've been working with the team to iron out a few remaining issues with plugin and reskinning support. I have a working file set with all previous FetishMaps functionality + the new POI filtering. A Fetish update will be issued as soon as these changes go live on EQ2Maps.

Sablerose, find ResultColorPage in the tradeskill file. Set its size="0,0" or opacity="0.000". This object is a "susseful counter" indicator. Red means you blew the counter, green means you hit the right button. You might play with the opacity value so you still see it but aren't bothered by it.

The edit filter title background (and most other text boxes) do this if you have an older _FetishStyles.xml installed, sometimes included with old addons, patches, themes and 3rd party mods. Always use the very latest FetishSyles.xml.

Make sure your eq2ui_mainhud.xml has an include for _Fetish_mainhud_personabar.xml. If that fails, try renaming your character_server_settings.ini. Sometimes these files get corupted and refuse to allow changes to random windows. The files you attached look fine.

It only happens when using Fetish - I tried doing the exact same thing using Default UI and there was an 'OK' button there - just to allow me to go back to normal char select screen, instead of having to close eq2 and start it again.

EDIT: But I haven't tried the latest version of Fetish yet, so I can't comment on whether or not it's been fixed lol. Installing it now...

Has anyone tried this with LU19 yet? I know last night they were sending out system wide message reminding people to disable their UI for the patch today. Just wondering if anyone has tried this yet even just on the test server.

At this point, the best I can do is look at the character screen. I went ahead and deleted the files they show they updated. However, I've alredy noticed I have a problem with the placement of the loading screen (the flash screen?) and the character screen isn't formatted correctly even though I deleted the newcharacterscene (which they updated) which I thought was the character screen....

At the current time the logging screen does indeed look a little funky. I imagine replacing the eq2ui_logingscene.xml would solve that temporarily. Ok tried it, and while it now is full screen the lines remain in small mode. Am sure there was a post on how to get rid of it further back from LU 18 but cant seem to find it

Are you talking about character select screen? I could deal with that I honestly could care less as I almost never go to character select screen. I'm just wondering if the base UI is working in game or if there are parts that are not work. I logged in with the default UI and just about threw myself off the roof. It sucks that bad.

So far i've noticed the banking window is different (because the old one doesn't pop up).... the spell/skill bars apparently are supposed to have a new right click option, but it's not really needed... still looking around...

As of LU19 i am having some issues with this interface here they are,
for characters under level 20 they have your character on a boat but nothing is available to do, not even exit, options or play buttons show up.
with toons over 20 that i can get into the game with i have a black box with a white stripe thru it that i can not get rid of.

all other windows seem to be working well, will post back if that changes

other then that i love using this UI and can't wait for the LU19 compatible version

Getting it up and running
 

Ok,

this is take1 quick-and-dirty, just to get up-and-running with character creation and stuff. Haven't bothered about new functionality or "funky looks" - that's for Zonx to do :).

Do share what you find in the game - if stuff crashes or is broken - not looking funky, but plain broken - the rest of us want to know :).

So here it is, Gumba's dirty three:
- Replace eq2ui_mainhud.xml with the file attached to this post
- Replace eq2ui_popup.xml with the file attached to this post
- Rename or delete eq2ui_newcharscene.xml

That's for the files in the UI/Fetish directory, of course.

Once you've done step three, you'll see a decidedly funky-looking login screen, and character creation will be ugly. But functional. Same for under-20 chars - they'll work, but the class selection screen won't be a beauty.

If the inability to drag inside a hotbar bothers you, you can:
- Live with it and drag from knowledge book while Zonx fixes things
- OR rename or delete eq2ui_mainhud_quickbar.xml

I opted for "live with it". I don't want to have to resize and reposition my hotbars, twice.

Thanks for the great Interfaces Zonx

I do hope that you do not decide it is not worth while to keep creating. Also getting burned out by the game is understandable.

Donation has been sent. I Appreciate what you do.

Pappy
PS I think I sent donation from NotPappy...

Other then the funny looking Char select screen I have no issues with this UI, all I did was go in and delete the files they changed from the update notes and it runs great for me no issues.

to fix the char under 20 problem delete the newchar xml file in your UI folder, you will get the funny deal but it will allow you to select your class and enter game once you have done that you can use the quick camp feature which I love to switch between differnt players.

Okay a couple bugs I noticed but I dont think they are bugs with only Fetish but rather in the UI in general so maybe not anything that you can do about it since it occurs within the in default as well.

1. when you start to type something for say chat or any chat the text in the box does not move up out of the way unless you move your mouse over it. This makes it very difficult to read what you have typed or are typing.

2. Spell Icons in the Hotbars do not "Lock" in place when the hotbars are locked and they get swithced arround easily causing much panic.

I was not able to explore further because the server went down for maintenance.

Pappy

For the first thing, it did that before. I forget what I did to fix it but it was annoying. Second, there is now a command to lock/unlock the hotbar and another command to enable/disable icon moving.

-Nueen

The two "bugs" you speak of are not bugs at all. They are default features of the UI (Sony, not Zonx).

Every window has the ability to fade into transparency. If you right click on your chat window, and select "Window Options," you will find a panel will appear with sliders for normal transparency, and mouseover transparency. It's possible that your default configuration was overwritten when you installed Fetish Nightfall, and you failed to realize it.

Secondly, Live Update 19 (LU19), has brought with it several changes to how the default UI operates. For example, you can now lock your hotbars in place, yet still move your spell/skill/item icons around within them. IF YOU DO/DO NOT WANT THIS, right-click on the hotbar and find the toggle named "Allow/Disallow Icon Movement" (or something close to that approximation), and toggle it on/off.

I hope this clears things up.






Oh, and welcome to the forums :eek:

Pappy,

In the /UI/fetish/folder you will find a file called eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat. Delete this file. then look for another file called _simple_eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat rename it to eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat and that will stop the chat bar from dropping down.

Thanks Much Paganstar I found that in the Fetish document that is in the fetish folder.

I also found the change for the Icons listed on the EQ2 forums.

Others who replied

PLease note I did not say this was any sort of problem with Zonx UI as you were so quick to defend but rather a problem I found with this UI and THE DEFAULT.... Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my post those that were constructive.

Huh?

Ok UI folder area has Default folder Fethish Folder Eq2 Maps Folder for me and one other one I have no clue is (too early in the morning to recall).


But NewChar_XML In the Ui/Fetish ? or UI/Default ?
:eek:

When?
 

When can i expect the next update on the UI to be made? :D

In the Ui/Fetish. That will force the game to go back to the default...ugly, but it works.

(and Zonx, I love this UI. Thanks for all the great work.)

hey all is there a recent update for the fetish UI skin??? i am getting tired of using the damn Default one... Zonx ur the man!!!! :nana:

Release 6.0
 

Version 6.0 is available for download.

READ THE VERSION NOTES!
Improperly upgrading can result in broken features, particularly the Map and various Market search features.

Version notes

Don't forget to rate the download and add it to your favorites if you haven't already. ;)

I am now accepting donations through PayPal, which will also help me gadge how much effort I should put into supporting these UIs going forward.

WOOHOO!! :D Thanks Zork!! :D YOU are AWESOME!! :nana: :nana: :nana:
/e does the happy dance!!

Bah! Included an older version of the map icons. If you've already downloaded 6.0, you'll want to drop this file into Fetish/images/icons

The main download now has this file included.

Thanks Zonx! I sent my donation - I suggest everyone esle drop a few bucks too.

[OPINION]


Its not easy being inbetween contracts, and also trying to maintain something that takes time (this work) and money (the EQ2 subscription so he cna do the work, as well as any coding tools).

The best way to show your appreciation is to dorp money into the hat. Even $5 or 10 is better than nothing.

[/OPINION]

Awesome work as usual :)

I am having problems with the Vault window, it only has spots for 2 and the Language window does not open at all.


Any others experiencing these two problems ?

Doh! Missed adding the Language window to the popups file. Quick fix for that..

open eq2ui_popup.xml in Notepad
add
Reskinned Language window attached.

I'll look into the vault issue. Not sure why it wouldn't size to whater number of slots you are supposed to get. It uses the bag window wich is set to do that.

Confirmed the vault does seams to be sizing properly to show extra vault slots (3 slots in my 2 room house).

Note: Bag mods from another developer may not work properly with less than 4 slots.

player window effects
 

I noticed the new effect icons in the player window are just showing up as gray boxes. I assume there are smaller versions of the effect icons that are supposed to be showing up in there so I thought I would see if anyone else shows them.

It took me a little bit, but I also noticed the PackLocations for the new icons/buttons aren't set right so if you stretch the player window they don't stay where they are supposed to in the window.

Not too surprised... the Player window icons were a last minute addition and I couldn't really test it. I'll have to play with it some more.

InfoCenter Notes
 

I was delighted to see Milquetoast's InfoCenter added to my favorite UI, but am unable to get the added notes to show up in game. This is from a clean install of Version 6.0, with the <note*.txt> files modified after the install. Am I missing something obvious :). I have used InfoCenter before as an addon and never had this problem.

Thanks for all the hard work Zonx, you have made a great game even better.

InfoCenter is a reskinned mod by DBurgdorf. I'm really not up to speed on how it functions or why edits wouldn't show ingame. I recomend you check the InfoCenter Support Thread.

I'm assuming you launched EQ2 after making the edits. Edits made to any UI files while ingame wont show till you relog.

Not sure if it's SOE or the mod, but after installing version 6.0 my quest journal collections text is missing.

Only for info. Still the best mod out there :)

the only issue i seem to be having since patching to 6.0 is that my heroic op window keeps reseting to its default position. Even though it wasn't updated in this updated in this release .. not sure if something else got changed that effected it or if my ini file just got corrupted

Persona bar
 

The thought of rumaging through 56 pages of questions/answers was a bit overwhelming, so I'm merely going to ask my question.

I recently downloaded the fetish nightfall UI (fantastic btw) and I am experiencing problems with the persona bar.

I removed all the uisettings files from my EQ2 directory and started fresh. On the initial run I had everything running fine, including the persona bar. I placed the persona bar in the lower right-hand corner of the screen and placed the backdrop transparency to 25%.

The next time I logged in I could see the persona bar during the loading screen, however, it disappeared once it loaded. It is still missing and I can not figure out how to get it to reappear.

If you have any ideas what could be behind this dilemma I'd greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Open up your persona window. At the top is a button that toggles the personabar on and off. Try that.

Thank you so much for the immediate reply Loktha. It worked.
