You are aware that you can use any mods found here (that aren't already included in the updater) in conjunction with ThorUI, aren't you? Just make sure you don't have any of the exp bars selected in the updater and throw the files for the desired exp bar into your thorui directory. ;)

Ok let me get this right, before I mess something else up.
Supose I don't like Thors recipie book, but I don't care for the default one either. I can search the downloads here in the pieces section, find one I like and then use it by extracting it to: C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\thorui?

Also If I have this right, in order to then use mrkitchenhelp's Recipie book I would then go into ThorAU and uncheck the recipie book option in there, load up the game and mrkitchenhelp's Recipie book is now my "default"

I just wanna make sure on all this so I can cut down on the "login/check ui, logout fix ui, log back in again" thing.

I have a request/suggestion
 
2 Attachment(s)
First of all, I like your chat boxes with the shortcuts to socials and chats but it doesn't seem to work correctly. My chat box gets cut off at the top, and the scrollbar stays on the left along with the lil chat bubble and there are no tabs or shortcuts either over or under chat to access the socials or change chat type (like from group to guild etc) So I have gone back to the default chatbox for now.
The thing I don't like is that the scrollbar and chat bubble on the text line are on the left and I ususally have my chatbox all the way to the left of my screen (makes it a little hard to scroll up or change chats. So I was wondering if it would be possible to add in an option for chats to have the scrollbars "swapable" so that even in using the default chat, It could still be enhanced by picking the option to have "right side" scroll bars.
The 010.jpg is how it is now and 007.jpg is how I would like to have it.

Other than that the standard chat box is fine enough since I really don't use tabs, although adding in a shortcut for socials would clear up a hotkey<grin>

thank you for this great UI and all the wonderful options to it, it does help make things a bit more customizable and I can set it up differently for each character to fit my needs.

See this ugly green text? When this ugly green text shows up on the update window, which is white, it's almost invisible. PLEASE pick a darker color like navy or ANYTHING that shows up on white background better than this color.

Thanks

I don't know about anyone else, but I got a black background on my updater. And the green looks fine to me.

I have the green writing on the white/grey backround and yes it is difficult to see very well, kinda like this this color on a white backround always hurts my eyes I have to highlite the text just to be able to tell there really are words there.

HotBar request
 
I would love to see an option to remove the numbers on the hotbars. With the smaller icons and shrunken bars, the numbers cover a lot up.

(Yes, you can use this in conjunction with ThorUI. Heck, you can pretty much use any mod found here at EQ2Interface with ThorUI!!) ;)

I love the UI, and recommend it to all my friends and just the other day , recommended to my Guild leader to take a look at it, as he uses mix and matches.
I have started playing with my Templer and have found a couple of things I would love to see implimented if possible.

Someone posted a "click and heal function/assist " on his group window. Is that a possible mob you can look at? As a healler would be awesome to be able to click on disease icon on player window, and the highest cure spell i have would be cast, save so much time. Especially forme, to mouse over disease, read what it is, mouse over my cures, to find appropiate one, and then click to cast, after making sure i had group member target.

Also I have noticed something strange, and it maybe just my machine. but the health bars in group window, seem to go down differetn then the targeted window. henrys in group window, also he is targeted (as in assist mode) but group window shows green going down, and target window shows same groupmemeber in yellow? is that a lag issue?

Keep up the great work.

update the program to delete files from the thorui folder. having to delete the entire directory and then re-download everything takes too long.

or for a quicker fix, simply put a comment in the config window stating what files are used for that feature... so someone could just go find those files and delete them instead of the entire directory.

Timer
 
Is it possible to have the timer window with one that can be user set? So that I can have 10minutes, or 20minutes for timing spawns.

serpent15 06-11-2006 03:56 PM

I am not sure if this has been posted before or not, but i believe it would be an awesome addition that you can make to your UI Target window. Let me explain a bit: When fighting an Epic encounter, sometimes not all of the mobs are Epic mobs, for example, there may be 1 epic mob, and 3 heroic mobs in the encounter. But these mobs are all labeled as Epic x #(2,3,4). Now if you put your mouse over the target window, you can distinguish which one is epic and which is not. Another way to do that is to use the "Simplified" conning system. Now lets face it, the simplified conning system is far less superior to the detailed conning system, except for that one advantage while selecting targets in an epic encounter.



I would love to see if it is possible for someone to create a targeting window that would allow you to use the detailed conning system, and still be able to distinguish which mobs were epic, and which were heroic within an epic encounter.

I really have no clue if this has been posted in any shape or form here...I really really enjoy Thor UI. I love all the little conveniences it provides...having said that...I am a purple freak. I just really like the color. So, I saw a UI on here that had all the windows done up in my all time favorite color. Fetish. The thing is, I don't like it near as much as I like Thor UI.

Can you give me purple windows?? or can u suggest how I might go about borrowing Fettish's color scheme while still using all that Thor has to offer?

So basically I'd like to suggest differnt colored skins...hmm maybe I should go make sure I didn't overlook that option in thor....

stat window
 
I would like to see something like Dragowuifui advanced 3-way state strip added. I like to see what may stats are at all times with out having to click anything to see them.

gainer900 07-23-2006 06:13 PM

changes
 
I love this UI minus one thing, the inventory screen. Its too small and half of it is cutoff unless you expand it. From a raiding perspective, its kinda a pita to switch out gear. I usually just use something more similar to the standard inventory screen however everytime I autoupdate I have to go back in and manually add the default back in.

A huge thing that id love to see implemented into some form of a UI is some sort of a raid points system using the guild events.

This is not necessary to do if you have one of two things done:

a) You don't have any inventory window mod selected in the updater's Feature section
b) You have the "Do Not Update if local file is newer" box checked in the Advanced Options section.

Feature Idea
 
Thor, not sure if it is possible but here is my idea.

As a Scout class, we obviously can use potions and poisons. Is it possible to add another inventory slot to equip our two potions/poisons and then just be able to right click or use some sort of /useability when selecting them.

This would make it so easy I run around with almost an entire bag full of these but only use two mainly and to hunt around for them is a pain.

Just a thought dont know if the game allows for this in its structure or not.

Cheers,

Furflies of the Butcherblock server

Faetyl 07-26-2006 10:29 PM

That would rock indeed but alas i can not do that.

What i've done is drag and drop my poisons on my hotbar to get a quick click icon for each of them.

Oh I know what you're talking about. :D They have this feature in Hinton's UI setting thing... the maintained spells bar has a different timer on each of the different spells that are being maintained. The only annoying part is, the icons for the maintained spell pictures are a bit bigger, and the countdown doesn't wrap to the next line if you try and make the window smaller... so it looks cut off a bit... a small price to pay though, especially if you're an illusionist or if you like using dots/hots. :P

o_o; I hope that was read-able.


And the only thing I really miss coming from other UIs to Thor's is being able to view the UI while I'm loading a new zone. I believe it was available in Fetish, and I didn't really need to be able to use anything... I just like to be able to see my chat or item info while I'm waiting for my super slow computer to finish zoning. :x

^^; Excellent UI. No complaints yet. :P Keep up the sexy work!

Faetyl 07-29-2006 01:57 PM

Thanks for the feedback.

The maintained timer info is a feature that you could implement yourself.
ThorUI is built to be as unobtrusive as possible so you may use others works while using the ThorUI as your main UI.

Simply drop other authors works into the thorui forlder and ensure that you have the option "Do not overwrite is local file it newer" selected.

I used to have the chat while zoneing feature but it caused crash to desktop at a couple previous Live Updates therefore I felt it best to discontinue it.

As will all features though you are free to add it on your own.
Just don't yell at me if they cause problems in the future. ;)

I "think" the poster you quoted was recommending a timer on the actual hotkeys to show how much time left on the reuse ability.
Although as interface authors, we can't do this it would indeed be VERY nice and would be best submitted by an in game /feedback :D

Freyaa 08-08-2006 11:49 PM

:) how about an updated writ and hq window please :D

ShadowProwler420 08-26-2006 10:06 AM

Heya Faetyl.....

Do you think you could add this guild window mod to the updater? I know you already have the InfoCenter in a separate window, but I personally prefer to use keyboard shortcuts rather than clicking with the mouse to do what I need to do, and I'd rather not waste a hotkey for the command macro.

Faetyl 08-26-2006 12:50 PM

I'd have to recommend using that one outside/separate from the ThorUI.
There are many individual files associated with the info center and the plan txt documents don't always get handled correctly by the AU.
Therefore I always edit the original infocenter to be one main file rather than all the smaller pieces.
Adding another window to do the same thing to would be a bit much unfortunately. :(

Fair enough, man. Just thought I'd ask.

Do you think you could add the Claymore questline to the InfoCenter? I'd do it myself, but I'm not too XML savvy and wouldn't know where to start>

Thanks for all the hard work you've done on this awesome UI, dude!! :nana::nana::nana:

TJ831061 09-16-2006 04:27 PM

could we have this type of group window?
 
Hello,
This is the a great group window and I have tried to install this feature with thor UI but I cannot figue it out :mad:

I know this is a link to someone elses creation and Im sorry if I have offended anyone.

http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3355

Thanks.
TJ

ShadowProwler420 09-16-2006 08:15 PM

All you need to do is to put all the required files for it in your thorui directory and you should be goood to go.

Also make sure that you don't have any of the group windows selected and/or have the "Do Not Update if local file is newer" option checked within the auto updater. Having either of these done will ensure the updater does not overwrite anything.

Shutdown window
 
Heya,

I got a suggestion about Shutdown window.It would be nice if it was possible to set up shutdown window for the multiple accounts .

I would also like to see some kind of login shortcut as well :)

Faetyl 10-09-2006 09:53 PM

I implemented this a few days ago.
Been testing it out for a bit longer than I originally had intended but it is available now.

No login shortcut though.
I won't support anything that retains passwords.
Too many horror stories.

Cool :)

Now could you explain how to edit Shutdown file for muliple accounts or refer me to appropriate thread?

Shortcut could still prompt for PSW. What I had in mind is something that would skip the patching, logo/graphics loading,ToS agreement and retain user names and character lists for various accounts.

Faetyl 10-10-2006 01:58 PM

Sure, just open the xml with notepad or wordpad.
You should see how it's laid out.

Basically each tab has 10 "character" and "server" entries.
Just replace character with your characters name and server with their server name.
holding Ctrl and the pressing h (CTRL+H) will open up a find and replace function.
You can do one at a time that way if you wanted.

I havent done so yet and I know nothing about coding but layman logic tells me that doing this will allow me to switch between chararcters on different servers on the same account . I have 2 accounts, 2 different usernames and 2 different passwords. I was looking for a shortcut that allow me to switch between the two w/o camping to desktop. Perheps I am wrong :confused: but I think that would require retaining 2 different user names somewhere and promting for another PWD during the switch.

If that option is not available atm, I was hoping you would consider my suggestion. :)

Anyways, great UI. Thanks for your work.

Faetyl 10-11-2006 03:19 PM

Gotcha

gm9, fetish, and Landiin are all top notch among many other modders

I'd recommend posting in the requests section and see if they can help.
One may already have what you're looking for.

I believe what you are referring to is this mod, which is separate from ThorUI but can be used in conjunction with it.

ProfitUI suggestion
 
I love the profitui mod; mouseclicks in eq2 is the bane of my life and this ui makes things a lot less tedious.

I would really like to see this tool extended for the sales log. As a crafter and seller of many items on the broker I need to keep track of my stock and I quite often miss that I've sold items and end up not recrafting sold items for a long time, costing me money. Even if the sales log had as simple a feature as to sort the list by column so I could see what has sold on a given day it would help me, and I'm sure others, greatly.

Being able to filter sold items in the same way as you can broker items for market analysis would be an incredible bonus!

Kal

Faetyl 10-16-2006 12:21 AM

It's there.
Look under MainHUD>Set Price ;)

I backed away from modding the broker window untill the changes settled.
I'm not familiar with others mods regarding this window but will look into them.

The sales log format is a PITA but is pushed by the server, so no chance to mod that. I have done nothing to it in ProfitUI.

No overflow on the inventory window?
 
Would sure like to have an overflow area added to the updated inventory window. I had to load the default UI to get to it, then the game crashed when I tried to reload the thorUI. Thought that was only a problem on the test server, however this happened to a char on Live Oasis server, so guess not.
