First and foremost, Great UI Zonx. I will gladly (and patiently) wait for any updates. I understand RL takes a priority (as it should).

A guildmate is having a small problem though. Her persona window is not showing the icons. All she has is a black box there. What is strange is I copied my Fetish folder and sent it to her, and mine works.

I have had her delete here load the default ui and she says the black box with no icons shows up there too.

The small problem I am having is in the recruiting tab in the guild window. At the bottom there is a details button, that when I click, doesn't work.

Anyone have any thoughts as to what is occuring? Any help is greatly aprreciated

Thank you for the update of this wonderful UI.
I wish that there were fewer people who believed that you had an obligation to update the UI immediately after each LU; their lack of gratitude for your hard work is astonishing.
I am, as always impressed, with the usefulness of the new features you have added.

Wooot!
 

Another great update from the UI master!

Thanz Zonx. You da man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:nana: Sarcus Sarcasticus :nana:

I am now having a problem with the zone reuse timer window. When I click the icon, all I get is a black screen with a series of key icons along the left side.

Did I miss something in the install?

Thanks again in advance for any help

Aerokella, you can edit the attempted spell list by opening _Fetish_Mainhud_Cures.xml in NotePad. If I mistakenly included a spell that shouldn't be attempted, please let me know and I'll remove it from the standard file. The list for each effect type was derived from OGamming spell info, which isn't always accurate. Likewise if I missed a spell, please let me know.

Wrendon, only thing I can think of is that you and your mate have 1 or more old version of files copied from the default UI or provided by another mod.

Never copy files from the default folder to the Fetish directory. Several key files are intentionally ommitted from the Fetish directory to force default versions to be loaded, which ensures they are always current. eq2ui_gamedata.xml is 1 such file, as are virtually all the default xxxStyle.xml files.

If another mod provides a copy of any of the following files, you'll need to manually merge the code for both to form a superset of everything in both versions.

eq2ui_inventory.xml
eq2ui_journal.xml
eq2ui_mainhud.xml

ALWAYS use the version of eq2ui.xml provided with Fetish. Other mods often include this file but almost always cause screen sizing issues with Fetish.

For some reason my maintained spells and stats windows have disappeared. How can I restore them? Restoring all windows to default position did nothing.

Both of the buff windows scroll, make sure you didn't scroll to the end of the window (thus hiding the buffs).

Again, thank you Zonx for a great UI.

I have a general question: The eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml file included with Nightfall 6.4 is dated 01/29/06. When I run the EQ2MAP auto-updater, it asks if I want to overwrite the eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml with a newer version dated 02/24/06. I recall posts from months back in this forum saying not to let the EQ2MAP auto-updater overwrite this file. Is this still the case? Which version of the file should we be using?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Wonderful skin!

I am having a small problem however,
I installed v6.4 of you skin to a fresh directory, and when I login I see the EQ2 button (and some other icon list to its right) but sometime during the loading process they both dissappear. How can I make these windows appear?

Thanks for all your hard work!

There is a hotkey to open and close these, assuming that you have not changed it from the default it should be "alt-e" for Spell Effects and "alt-m" for Maintained Spells.

oh, and Alt + ` is default for the eq2 button, but beware if you have it set to be transparent unless you mouseover, ect as these effects will make it hard to find it, other than that hit F10 to cycle to the 'all windows opaque' setting and look for it by moving your windows out of the way where you saw it.

Thanks Dae.

I noticed in the UI's folder that there is an infocenter folder. How do I actually access it? I know Profit UI had a button, but I don't see a similar button for Fetish?

They way Zonx put it in is like such, several of the ? buttons on various windows in the Fetish UI will open up the Info Center. I know for sure the ? button from the "Quest Journal" works, as its the one I use. Pretty sure when he put the InfoCenter in he listed all of the windows where the "?" would open the InfoCenter, either on a post somewhere in this thread or perhaps in the documentation for the UI.

Hope that helps...

I have not seen an "all-clear" from Zonx letting us know that we can overwrite this file. The easiest way to test this is let it over-write, then enter the game and test to see if the map is messed up or not. If it is messed up, then just /exit out of the game and replace the "eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml" file in your UI_Folder with the file from Fetish zip folder. Worse case, after running the eq2_map updater you can just re-extract all of the files from the latest Fetish zip folder.

Okay...I'm not sure if this has been posted...I just joined Everquest 2 and my friend who drug me there got me to try a UI. She reccomended Thor but I hate it compared to Your UI.

But I have a minor problem. And I'm not sure if it's been posted because I'm not sure what You call it lol.

When I first loaded the UI up, I was amazed at how cool it was on my assassin but I clicked on the bar with the numeric stats (hp, mana, coins, resists ect ect) on the number two which made the bar elongate to the far side of the screen...I freaked out and logged but now the bar doesn't even show up!!! And now I can't even bring the mouse over the topmost icons for buffs to see what they are. My other two characters don't have this problem because I have not clicked on any of the evil options of that bar hehe...

How can I get the bar to show back up?

Otherwise I have no complaints whatsoever.

Any help would be appreicated and I apologize if this was answered already...I'm just to green yet.

Peorth.

Peorth - That strip is typically refered to as the "Stat-Bar" its something that Zonx added in special to his UI. If you every "lose" if from your screen this is what you need to do:

* Hit "P" to bring up your Persona Window.
* Click the "P" button on the Person Window.
(On the Persona Window, there is a Title bar where is says "Persona" to the left of that there is a little squared, borded, P button.)

If your bar fails to open everytime you come into the game, then you need to read through all the posts on this thread and find one that gives details on what files you need to edit so that is loads standard (there are quite a few.)

hi zonx,

great job!!!

but... where to access the infocenter? haven't found any button or command in your readme and the doc...

EDIT:

nevermind i'm confused by the order of posts. after submitting post i scroll up an saw someone asking for the infocenter before :/

anyway ;) grat job !

greetings

Reskinned Other Mods
 

In FetishNightfall.doc it gives a bit of info about how to reskin mods to work with the interface. It also says to upload the mod if you've reskinned it for Nightfall. I'm curious, where are these reskinned mods uploaded? I'm new to the mod, and may be missing something obvious.

Thank you! I'm most interested in Mother's Pricing at this time.

Thank you!

There are several mods for FetishNightfall on the download page listed in the "Patches & Addons" table.

A couple alternate themes for the set are linked from the download description, though these are a bit out of date now. The intent was for other folks to add their own themes to the collection.

Finally... there are various mods scatered around this site that include a Fetish version as an addon to their mod. You'll have to hunt these down, don't really have a list.

I love the eq2 button now, with the different settings buttons under it. what is the file to edit it though? I'd like to change a few of the graphic settings the Raid performance button changes. :)

I'm going to take a guess that you just need to edit Milquetoast's infocenter... I think Zonx is pulling it directly so that you don't have to open up the infocenter to do it... look here

..\infocenter\miscellany\displayprofiles

^^^ i'm talking about the eq2 button, i'd like to change the R, E, P, G sub-buttons

As Fait said you need to edit the profiles under the info center. the eq2 buttons link back to those profiles

..\infocenter\miscellany\displayprofiles

Yep, edit the profiles in the Infocenter directory.

FYI this was mentioned in the update notes availible from the first page of this forum and the .doc file included in the ZIP.

lu 23
 

Is anyone else having trouble with hide illusion and showhood since the patch? Just wondering :-)....I dont have a clue how to edit this stuff LOL.

As always Love this UI!

Sarcus Saecasticus.

AbakirkIII - Problems with /hidehood /hidehelm in what reagards? I am not having problem with my buttons (though I use Goldi's EQ2 button) and I am not having any problems with the actually / commands themselves. If you are talking about the options in the perosona window I know those were changed in the last LU to be a drop down instead of multiple check boxes.

So some more info as to which speicifc area isnt working would be great...

Is this possible to do?
 

Absolutely love your ui... refuse to use anything else hehe.

The 2 targeting ring maps that show up at the bottom of the player's feet when you have them targeted would be really nice if they showed range for heals and maybye dps or whatever, or just 10m, 20m, 30m on it...

but will the ring allow you to make it that large?
and would it be able to be toggled off or need to be added as a separate add-on since not all players would like this?

but at any rate it would help out soooo much on raids...

[email protected]

Nope, haven't released an update for the last few minor window changes by SOE. Not sure when I'll get to these, they are extreamly minor.

Last I checked, the target ring files are overwritten by the client everytime you log in. Even if it is possible to retain changes to the ring files, max ring size isn't likely to be something you can change, nor is it likely you can attach data fields to the ring. At best you'd be able to change the graphic to include N, E, S, W directionals and stop it from spinning.

bah
 

ya i was messing around with it myself trying to see if i could get it bigger, the size of it isnt changeable but the graphic is, oh well hehe.

though i have also been wondering if a bar that shows your current dps would be able to be added (from a damage parser, which i have no clue how you would have it monitored constantly for each encounter unless theres a parser out with the ability to constantly dump to clipboard, could make one for heals and one for dps parse if it's do-able in some way, maybye i'll talk to one of the guys who writes the parsers.)

oh well, more realistically... i'm working in 3d studio making a black metal skin for your ui and if i complete it any time soon i'll email it to ya to see if you like it :), sooo many windows... sooo much modeling and mapping...

I just installed this UI and i am very impressed. I just don't have my casting and breath progress bar....any idea's? Thanks

Not in-game as such, I don't think. The parser is out-of-game and processes log files. You can't pass data from an app to EQ2 (keypresses being an exception, as EQ2 has no way to know where they are coming from), for rather obvious reasons.

I think there was an "always-on-top" display window for the parser that would remain visible when you went to maximized windowed mode. And a FRAPS-like thing could be done too, I am sure - if FRAPS can show things in full-screen, so could a parser.

figured
 

ya i pretty much assumed that this wasnt currently able to be done with the parsers / ui features available at this time, maybye sony will allow it to be done in one fashion or another soon since they never had anything against people using parsers and even use the parser info for their item changes sometimes when people complain. (Not that sony knows how to correctly modify an item it seems since eq1... i dunno wth they were thinking sometimes rofl, but oh well.)

i managed to crash my comp last nite trying to use a reflection style filter for the dds files (made with nvidia's shader program and some other 3rd party stuff) it did however reflect the mouse icon and background in the way i wanted but it seems that passing the ui windows over anything but "raid mode" low res non-shader model style textures causes a crash, i'll mess with it some more for fun and maybye add it into my black metal skin project that will be done in a few months. It causes lag due to way to much load on the card anyways so its pretty pointless and extremely buggy / unsupported anyways.

oh well im thru w/ trying the impossible and back to finding that perfect reflection map for my skin hehe (only 3.5 mil polygons on the chat window rofl, gogo 2hrs of modeling for one window.)

omg zonx if you used any 3d modeling programs to make the windows help me out and email me the models for them, tho im assuming you just went ahead and drew them up in a 2d program.

geroth, in the images directory you'll find all the DDS files used to render every window element. The general FAQ on this site includes a link to DDS conversion tools provided by Invidia, one of which is a Photoshop plugin.

The easiest way to reskin everything is to replace the Fetish_widgets...dds files with revised images that use the same dimensions for each element in the DDS. If the element dimension change, you'll have to tweak FetishStyles.xml to accomodate the new dimensions.

Geroth - Its not so much that is impossible to have a 3rd party program pass information to the eq2 client. Its just that is against the EULA and completely forbidden. Basically we are "stuck" using the data that SoE makes available in game, for each specific window... and thats it.

The only way currently to get data into the EQ2 client, after launch, without breaking the EULA is via the HTML window. If the parser can write a simple HTML file, you could probably display it. The HTML window is still fairly buggy and has been known to crash EQ2.

I dont have that button on the Persona screen at all.

And there isnt a way to search the 65 pages in this thread - so can maybe someone be kind enough to repost it?

You would probably be better off redownloading the full UI, open it and find the file "eq2ui_mainhud_persona" and copy then paste it into your Fetish UI directory within the EQ2 custom Ui folder you're using.

Or, if you aren't using pieces from another UI, you could just replace the entire folder with the updated version. That would probably be the two easiest options for you.

I use Festish with the Command Center add-on. My EQ2 button is now missing and I've tried to get it back to no avail. I can see the button as I'm logging in but it poofs when I get fully into the game. I do have it when I log on alts.

How do I change my UI setting to load an alt's interface so I can get the button back or any other suggestion would be great. I miss the ability to change characters without logging out to the character select screen.

Thanks!

try /load_uisettings

That should give you a window with all your Alts names and let you pick which of there UI settings you want to use.

That did it! Thanks.
