lan - great work on this interface - best one out there!

two quick questions - i noticed the download file for the updater and ui is extreme_322 but the version listed on the main site is 3.23 - is that a typo?

in the most current version screenshots, it looks like the journal window has writ and hq tabs - yet the one on my setup is not showing those tabs. is there a seperate download for that?

thanks in advance,
jpardo

Probably was removed when Milquetowst Info Center was put in... click the little Info button at the top-left :D Also, the updater wasn't changed, just the UI.. and as it's an auto-updater... 3.22 should work perfectly fine. If not it'd just update itself anyway.

Guess it must be a problem with the default >_< Any idea which UI file I should delete so the game replaces it? There are an utter arseload of them in the default folder =\

quick char select
 

I can't seem to get the quick switch to work. It starts to go then kicks me to the character select screen. Also the aucp doesn't save my toons. I luv this ui other than the qucik switch not working. Any help would be appreciated. thx.

Make sure the file aucp_QuickCharSwitch.xml and aucp_Notes.xml are in the exclude Files list or they will be over wrote every time the AUCP is ran wiping out what you may of changed. If they are shown on the exclude list let me know.

Make sure eq2ui_mainhud_help.xml isn't in the extreme directory. That is the file/window where you submit CS tickets.

They are showing up under the foreign files list & they are being over written everytime.

eq2 maps
 

Hey.

First I wanna tell you that I love your ui and have never looked back since I found it.

But I have one problem, Icant get eq2maps to work... is there some special setting I have to set to get it?

In the aucp, from the main menu click on eq2map->update let it update and it should be good as gold.

I'm installing this UI on a new computer and I've decided to try to install fresh instead of copying from old drive to the new

I'm failing all the time on downloading T1F.txt (I assume these are now outdate since LU24 as the recipies have changed.) Any way to remove this from the list??

Thanks

Foreign files list or exclude file list? They shouldn't be showing up in the foreign file list. Double check what list they are in, if they are in the exclude file list and getting over wrote somthing is wrong. I tested on mine and they are not getting over wrote. If they are in the foreign file list delete them via the delete button and reupdate the UI.

There shouldn't be any files in the foreign file list unless YOU have added a mod by you or someone else to the UI.

I updated the infocenter last nite to the most current one and updated the file list. Are you having the trouble *now* (as in 3:35pm cst)? I ran the updater on my comp and it ran fine after the update so let me know if your are having this issue still.

I'm having troubles now. as of 2:35pm MST.. I was on Vista Beta2 on a 64bit platform ... I'll try it now with XP on a 32 bit platform and see how that goes.

Edit
Installing from scratch .. on either platform
I get a disconnect on the 118th file
I close down the updated and start over
21 files into that is the T1F.txt where it just hanges.. on either platform.

Also .. nothing major Spelling error you have Receaving files ... should be Recieving files :)

Edit : Rebooted and I was able to continue on XP .. I'll try Vista later on and let you know

I'm not talking about CS tickets, I'm talking about /bug reports :p

I before E except After C :)

Nothing is in the foreign file list now & nothing is in the excluded list. I uninstalled everything & tried it all over again with the same results. I am sure I am missing something easy just can't figure it out.

Ok now add aucp_QuickCharSwitch.xml and aucp_Notes.xml to the exclude list. You will find them in user_settings directory inside the extreme directory.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I have updated it several times and still when I open up the map inside EQ2 I only get the map...

make sure eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml isn't in the exclude list. If it is remove it. That's the only thing I can think of that might block it. It shouldn't because the map updater shouldn't look at the exclude list. I totally removed eq2map from my install, opened up the game, seen the default map, logged out ran the updater and logged back in and EQ2MAP was there.

wide screen
 

can anyone tell me how I can set it up so I don't have to turn off my wide screen every time I log in. I went to options and the the wide screen and turned them all the way down and it is fine for when I play but then I log off and come back in later I have to redo it all over again.

In the AUCP go to the ui settings client config. Under eq2.ini find the line that says something Like letterbox_amount and set that value to 0, click on save and you should be good from then on.

What do you guys think of the new broker window? Any thing you guys would like to see added?

It isnt on the exclude list. But I think I found out what was wrong... EQ2MAP isnt autoinstalled with extreemui? since I cant see a folder named eq2map.

it wont let me open my inventory when i press I nothing happens

Check in options and make sure I is still set to open and close the inventory. Also note there isn't the normal inventory in extreme, the inventory is the 3rd window on the top HUD.

No I doesn't come with eq2map but once you tell the AUCP to update eq2map it installs it adding the eq2map folder and all content.

I personnally love the new broker window. Great Job. I would like to see a reset button put in on the buy window.

Thanks

Reset what? The word in the search text box?

Updated the Market window today; added a Clear button to the buy tab that will clear the Search field when pressed.

I know you said you updated it today to fix the window stacking, but I have downloaded what you say is the fixed version and the problem still exist. It is possible you didn't upload the right file? I examined the contents of both zips I have and they are identical, the file dates and times match. One I downloaded at 5pm pst today and the other at 10:30pm pst.

Also notice that the "Find" button seems to have an extra piece of artwork on the left side of the button on the buy tab. None the less its still a great addition to my existing interface.

I may of not of included the correct file. How ever I did just update again and checked the zip I uploaded and the market file has a date and time stamp of 6/26/2006 03:05:35 AM. So when it is approved it should be good. If not let me know and I'll see what I forgot to put in on the live file.

( ACK! :eek: The window stacking issue was still there and is there in the new update. I have fixed it but it hasn't been approved from my last update so I can update this fix. I'll do that when I get home but for now I need sleep)

For the Extreme users you should get this file as soon as you run the AUCP along with a new file named include_inventory_market_levelclass.xml.

So I am clear we are on the same page the new files time 3:05 still has the window stacking issue, but the clear button has been moved out from under the find button :)

Correct! But lol the newer update equi_inventory_market.xml file dated 6/26/2006 12:19ish PM should have the stacking issue fixed. ( I hope )

Now I am just harrassaing you:) You surely did a great job fixing the stacking windows and the clear button :) Now only one more thing, you have t7 rare harvestables in the pull down menu list as t6. It goes t6 (which are the t7) then its goes t6 (which are the actual t6) . Also on the common search pulldown you have mostly items that are no longer in the game :) Aren't you glad there are idiots like me who have worked in Quality Assurance my entire employable lifetime who notice silly stuff.


Keep up the great work its people such as yourself who create great things like this that make SOE realize that their designs are weak and make changes that benefit us all without giving all you modders the credit you deserve!!!! :nana: :nana: :nana: :nana: :nana:

Crafting Suggestion
 

Landiin,

I read you fixed the problem with the broker window stacking... that was 1 thing I was going to mention so instead, I'm making a suggestion. Not sure if it can be done.

Is there a way, when you open your recipe book, to examine the final product with a single click? Instead of having to right-click the item, get the recipe list, and then right-clicking the the product to show you what the final product does.
(i.e. open recipe book, right-click a spell, click examine... in the examine window, right-click the product at the bottom, and the window shows you what the spell actually does)

I'd like to skip the middle part and go straight to knowing what the final result will be, know what the spell does and for what class it's for :D

If you need screen shots of what I mean, let me know and I'll post them.

Font question
 

I trying to use this great UI in localized EQ2. Works great for me in english version, but in russian edition I have a problem. In Target, Implied target and Pet windows font for mob's name (names translated and use cyrilic characters) shows glyphs instead of proper cyrilic letters. What font used in these windows and how I can try to change it to any other font that have cyrilic (for example, in chat windows, quest helper, journal etc russian letters works fine).
Sorry for bad english, hope you understood what i asked :)

As far as I know the fonts used in the target and, implied and pet are the standerd fonts that are used with the default UI. I will double check this when I get home to insure they are, if not I will correct the issue and get an update out ASAP for our Russian brothers and sisters :)

I don't know if it can be done or not, but I'll look into it and see what I can put together.

Oops Ok I'll get that changed tonight.
