chat window blacking out issue is due to the window placements file aka servername_charactername_uisettings.ini

You can use one of the options i provide to resolve this.

Custom Presets?
 
I toggle back and forth from extreme performance to a custom set of settings fairly often and I was wondering if there is any way to save my custom settings as a preset so I can avoid going through everything and "retweaking". I noticed there is a checkbutton for custom presets, but I have no idea how to use it....

Regards,
Meysura

If memory serves correctly (I'm currently at work, so I can't 100% sure), there whould be a Custom Presets folder within the thorui directory. In this folder, there should be a readme.txt instructions file for the .exe file also in the folder. Use this to set your desired presets.

Not too helpful as to how to get the thing to work.

As stated in the instructions page; all help information and any extra information on how to use features are provided as links in the features section of the ThorUI AU.

Click the "..." button next to each feature.

If I understand correctly Robert/mrnice is working on changine the AU so that is a bit more user friendly/easier to notice.

Loading the UI
 
Hey!!

Just downloaded Thor UI for the first time (only custom UI I've tried) and am having problems loading the UI.

Whenever I do /loadui and select Thor UI the game freezes and the Task Manager shows it as "Not Responding."

Is there anyway to load the UI as default from the login screen?

Cheers :)

Faetyl 02-23-2006 07:32 PM

ThorUI should be all set if you ran the installer.

What you need are the uisettings file.

type /load_uisettings while in game ;)

MatchC22 03-02-2006 04:28 PM

Experience bars
 
I like the set up right now where it shows the level/trade/guild experience, but i want to see the full thing not just half..... iv moved it to the middle and it still shows as half.

Thory 03-02-2006 05:12 PM

You got to make the window larger. When you unlock the window, if you move your cursor to the right and buttom edges it will change into a double arrow, drag the edge until you can see the whole thing :)

MatchC22 03-02-2006 08:20 PM

Thanks... problem solved :nana:

Inventory???
 
I have been using this UI for quite a long time now and have waited for a long time to see when the new inventory window would incorporate the food and drink slots. Am I missing something or has this not been updated? If it has, please tell me what I am doing wrong. I recently reformatted my hard drive and downloaded ThorUI all over again but I am still not getting an updated Inventory window. Is this in future plans?

Just a little side note. I love your UI but I think your pet window is totally out of place with the rest of the scheme. It just doesn't seem to fit in very well.

Faetyl 03-03-2006 02:22 PM

The food and drink was incorporated before the live update became public. :)

Delete your thorui folder and relaunch the ThorUI AU.

Be sure to check the feature page as there are MANY options located there including another pet window option. ;)

Both inventory windows included in the Auto Updater should have buttons in the top left corners which shrink/expand the windows to display these slots.

You can always do what I'm doing and use a pet window from another modder/author. ;)
That's one of the things I like about this UI. You mix/match pieces from outside (what is provided via the auto updater) without fear of causing the UI as a whole to break.

swedishbanshee 03-10-2006 01:30 AM

how that timer mondule works? i dont get anything of it.. i want to use it tho. seems like some images dont want to show... i get a black window with colored arrows. nothing more, also settings are black

Faetyl 03-10-2006 12:09 PM

hmm, i'd delete the thorui folder and let the AU bring all the files back down.

See if that helps then let me know.

the "..." button can be clicked for more info on the mod itself once you get it working.

ShadowProwler420 03-10-2006 08:02 PM

Heya Faetyl....

Not sure if you or anyone else has noticed (unless it's just a freak issue on my end), but the scrolling buttons on the chat window (top right, which shift the chat tabs back and forth) don't appear to be working.

I haven't tried wiping/reloading the UI yet, but will try that if it appears to only be me that's being affected.


I'm using the chat window w/ the tabs on the top.

Knows 03-10-2006 09:27 PM

Not able to bring up the acheivment tab.
 
I have been using Thorui for a while now and its great.
I have run into a bit of an irritation, I'm not able to bring up the acheivment window, the tab is not on the skills window.

Thanks for any help.

Faetyl 03-11-2006 05:04 AM

All users were instructed to delete the thorui folder and allow the ThorUI AU to redownload all files.

Only reason i ever had my own version of the skills window was to fix a coding issue by SOE. They fixed it so I took mine back out...

jpprice123 03-18-2006 10:18 AM

Got a question for the Thor UI I got everything installed working as is but only problemim having is two things You cant see the arrows on the targets, is there a way to see them or is this just how the ui is and also My journal screen doesnt show the ui information center with the writs heritages etc.. I have ti checked in the advanced options but it wont load any ideas?

Faetyl 03-18-2006 10:38 AM

I don't think so but there are three steps that you can do that usually fix any issue.
They are:
1.) Check to make sure you have the features you would like selected. (Doubt this pertains to you)
2.) Delete the "thorui" folder located here EverQuest II\UI\
3.) Log in and once in game type "/load_uisettings" and select one of the predefined window placement files. (Move/Re-arrange your window how you would like)

Let me know if you still have an issue.

Keep in mind that in order to use the infocenter you need to be using the start button mod included with the UI package. You can also set up a macro with a text command to bring it up, too, but I don't recall what it is.

As far as the arrows on the targets go, are you talking about the 'old' /con system, or are you talking about the targetting arrow over the mob's head? If it's the /con system arrows, I believe there is a toggle button in the target window which switches between the arrows and brackets. If it's the targetting arrow, check the game options to see if it's turned off.

thepeartree 03-23-2006 09:50 AM

No Joy
 
I've followed all the tips above, but I still don't have the infocenter. I still love the UI, but I had the Infocanter and now it's gone. It makes it twice as disappointing :(

Faetyl 03-23-2006 10:14 AM

Did you select the feature?

You should have done the following as well:
Click the cancel button
Click Options
Click Advanced
Click ok (if you have the option selected for "Do not update newer files)
Click the Features tab
Click the "+" sign next to Journals
Click the "+" sign next to ThorUI InfoCenter
Check the box next to ThorUI InfoCenter
Click ok
Click update
Log in game and click on the 2nd and 3rd book icons on the start button to confirm all is there.

Repeat the above steps to add other features.
Repeat the delete folder steps to refresh the thorui directory if you decide to remove a feature.

thepeartree 03-23-2006 11:03 PM

Yep, been there, done that. Everytthing is in place and running fine, except for the InfoCenter in the Journal. It doesn't show up at all. The only thing that I see when I open my journal and look at the top is the vanilla 3 tabs - Active, Collections, and Completed.

Trust me, the infocenter box is checked, then I deleted the ThorUI folder and let the whole thing update. I tried using the /load_uisettings list, but that didn't help. Over the past weeks after losing the InfoCenter, I've tried everything aaaaai could think of in about every order I could plot. None of it did any good. Maybe it's something to do with running the game in 1280x1024? I have the ThorUI set to that resolution as well, but is there any chance that the InfoCenter got left out of that?

If you can think of any other things I haven't tried, please let me know.

Faetyl 03-24-2006 07:30 PM

If I read your statement correctly. it sounds as if you're still looking in the journal for that information.

It's no longer there.

Per my previous instructions:

Tracking WIndow
 
Hiya ! I wanna ask if the tracking window is the one that you get using Alt-W ...
Or there is another key to open the ThorUI Tracking WIndow ?

Thanx for your help !!!!

Gawain

Faetyl 03-27-2006 10:24 PM

Alt-W is the waypoints window

Tracking and the window is only available to Scout classes who inherit the ability.

Pet Window Health Bar Problems
 
I currently have a Conjuror and a Necromancer in EQ2. The first summoner I load in the health bar window works fine. When I load in the second summoner, it will black out the pet's red health window and replace it with a black oval with a green dot in it. Do you have a fix for this?

Faetyl 04-09-2006 10:08 PM

Usually when you see something work for one character and not for another, it's usually related to the window placements file created by the game.
I'd recommend backing them up and using the command /load_uisettings while in game on the character with the issue.
Simply select the WPF of the character that you know works and that should resolve your issue.
Search the boards for more in depth info on window placement files if you require it.

Dracythis 04-10-2006 12:30 AM

I have tried your suggestion and loaded every available UI Setting for my character. Once this glitch appears, it effects every summoner character on my account. The only way to rid the problem (temporarily) is to uninstall & reinstall ThorUI. The UI works perfectly while I am on my primary summoner, but once I switch to a secondary summoner the glitch arises. Once the glitch arises the pet health oval goes black with the green dot on all my summoner characters.

Faetyl 04-10-2006 06:24 PM

Hmm, I'll have to look into that one.

Can you post your Window placements file of a character with the issue?

Thanks,

Xhanna 04-11-2006 07:27 PM

How do you show the group window? I tried alt G, and nothing. Alt R works for the raid window, but sometimes that is way more than is needed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Odds are if alt + g don't work, you have a corrupt window placement file (server_character_eq2_uisettings.ini). Delete it and let the game make a new one (or copy one for an alt you may have that is working correctly and rename it for the character that has the corrupt file).

Xhanna 04-12-2006 01:55 AM

Thanks a ton! Worked great!

Thanks,

Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been busy with work. I'm not sure what you mean by windows placement file. I can do the UI .ini file for the character. I have enclosed a screenshot of the problem for your review.

Thanks

Dracythis

Landiin 04-17-2006 03:31 PM

Dracythis, The issue you are having with the pet heath bar is a SOE issue. I havn't looked at Faetyls coding for that window but from my findings any change from the default on bars result in said bar being discolored when you change char, go LD or ect while using the same UI. Closing out the game normaly will correct the discoloring. This is a long standing issue the EQ2's UI system has had.


Figured I'd help you with this question Faetyls being I have this question asked ever other day it seems.

Faetyl 04-17-2006 05:17 PM

Thanks Landiin as always, you rock!
