thanks for your help :)

ProfitUI Reborn 3.0.2
 

Hi all. I'm a featured author now and have my own forum section here. It is probably easier to start posting in individual threads over there now. I made a separate sticky thread there for feature requests as well.

I do not have much time for supporting the UI at the moment but I just put together a new release in particular because I had put the wrong default XP window:

Changelog 3.0.1 - 3.0.2
Fixed XP window variant 1 and remade it the default
Changed In Combat display in Persona window and fixed target section title no longer being possible to hide
Made hotkey bank selectors smaller.
Added _ProfitUI_BottomBar (No MouseOver).zip for those that don't like the mouse-over effect. Use "frame" and "frame&titlebar" to manually switch the displayed stats in this variant.

Updated default uisettings.ini for 1024x768 and 1280x1024 resolutions. Fixed some settings in the former file. The other default settings are not yet updated.

Updated Milquetowst InfoCenter to v061115.

About time too. :)

First off thanks for the effort you put into keeping this UI updated. And secondly congratulations on becoming a featured author, an acknowledgement of the time you put in and long overdue.

Now on to my one concern with the new UI (3.02). Is it just me or is the "hotspot" of the mouse cursor now the base rather than the point. I am often dragging items from the square below the one I am aiming at in bags and the same happens on hotkeys unless I position the base over the square I want.

Any advice appreciated.

Sark.

Sarkoris, I finally got to see my UI in game this weekend and not just in UIbuilder. ;) I have noticed the same with the mouse. I think SOE is calculating the position of the cursor incorrectly when you click on their new IconBank element (this is the UI element they introduced in GU29 for bags and hotbars). Nothing I can do about it, you should /bug it.

Never mind GM9. I went from 3.01 to 3.02 and like a good little UI mod installer I followed the instructions (shameless plug for people to do this before lodging bug / feedback).

The good news is that while doing this SOE must have corrected their cursor positioning bug as it now selects correctly.

Sark.

I've noticed that dragging icons in general has become harder since GU29. If I want to re-arrange my hotbars I have to click in the lower corner of an icon and drag diagonally toward the opposite corner - otherwise the icon just stays put. It's somewhat better in the bags but even there it's harder to "grab" icons than it was pre-GU29.

Mind you, it's not game breaking by any stretch of the imagination, but it adds an element of annoyance where there was none before hehe. And I doubt it has anything to do with Profit.

noticed that when i tab to windowed mode and back again the bottom stat bar shifts consistently to the left and has to be realigned

Can anyone tell me how to get the bottom bar to stay on screen? It hides all the time until I mouseover, then when I mouseout it goes away again? thanks

you using wide screen? even if you're not all i can think of maybe you set too high Hz on your resolution? try use 65 or below see if that helps

labrat, I never had the bar moving to the left, usually it grows to the right when switching between windows and fullscreen. Somehow SOE is handling the resizing incorrectly. I provided resize buttons in the control center to workaround this. I may add replace buttons for those resultions.

clintyarborough, right click your bottom bar, go to windowsettings and make sure that the frame sliders are moved all to the right.

I have a question about the shutdown.xml file and the camp to desktop/character select screen.
I'm noticing where one can logout to another character by selecting the character in the box below but I'm curious where in the Shutdown.xml file I can edit. I would love to edit this file to reflect my 10 characters and server so I can do a quicklog to another peep.

Awesome Mod btw.

NEVERMIND .... I finally found a post for this help topic ... TY

Adding Tell Button
 

Would it be possable to add a Send Tell Button to the Frinds list window like in the Search for people LFG/LFW window

I agree, Great job GM9. I'm very impressed and happy with your mods. Super kudos on getting updated for the LU29 so quickly. You've improved my game experiance! Thx!!! :nana:

thanks, that fixed it. I originally hadn't changed that setting because my hot bars would move when I changed it. I got it all situated now, thanks for all the hard work. Great mod.

I'll look into it.

Your UI is excellent, but I have 2 minor problems with it:

1. Bottom most bar showing resists etc. does not show up at all until I minimize screen and then change back to full screen

2. Sometimes curing some effect by clicking icons next to group window changes my target in group in addition to casting cure.

EDIT: Forgot to say that I use 1280x1024 with default setting files.

The bottom bar issue is strange. Maybe right click and make sure the frame slider is maxed... I do not see how switching between windowed and fullscreen could have any influence however. :confused:

The target switching is possibly lag related. The code should be fine. Or maybe you click besides the icon, which I think will select the group member you are curing.

Really great UI, deffo love,
did notice some things in 3.02 which i didnt had in the pre-EoF verions.
Not sure if these should be classfied as bugs tho :P

The number of a hotbar doesnt disappear when you change the style from frame+border to frame and to no frame.
Doesnt look as slick as it was before and its easy to change the bar when trying to click the first skill.

Secondly,
but has been adressed by several others, dragging icon or stuff from bags is difficult now. Bad Soe :p it seems

Could be that im just a fool and this is all stuff i can sort in-game (rather inexperienced with ui thingies besides dowloading the new version :P).

Anyway only 2 minor things i noticed, but for the rest really loving it and keep up the awesome work :)

right click the hotbar and choose Hide Spinner

Feature Request - Maintained spells window
 

Wondering if anyone would be up for modifying the maintained window.

Features I'm interested in:

1. Horizontal layout
2. Mouseover target names
3. Duration timing displayed on icon

Example: http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3726

The above mod is only partially functional today. The timer works but the mouse over names do not. They show random information that is not associated with the actual target the spell is on.

This is a WONDERFULL UI!! I have a small suggestion / annoyance that I was wondering if it would be hard to correct in the next update. All it really is, is a spacing issue. The info bar that has the HP Regen, Power Reg, etc . . . when you get a 3 digit number value in those fields, things get cramped and the bar just simply doesn't look clean and nice. Could you just allow a tad more space for those fields? That's it, pretty simple, it's just everything else is so clean and professional that this little thing looks out of place. Keep up the great work!!!

Yes, I noticed Mordran5565, also the XP window (except for apparently still being the wrong default variant) has some spacing issues now - no idea where they came from. Will be adjusted. Just like you I cannot stand these little quirks. ;)

GM9, this UI has provided me with a consistently better experience playing EQ2. It is superb, but I am a dumb end-user and I am having problems upgrading from 2.82 to 3.02. ;)

I have completely lost all of the frames and uniqueness that 2.82 provided for me, instead I have this nasty hybrid of the basic UI with very few features of Profit.

I have read the installation directions for the 3.02 version and I am not entirely clear on what to do to fix this matter. I guess the questions I have are this:

1. Do I have to dump all of my 2.82 uisettings in order to get 3.02 to work properly?

2. If not, do I dump the .bak tag on the defaults (I use 1024x768 settings).

<sigh> If anyone could help a non-programming geek, it would be much appreciated. I miss my cool frames <sniff>.

Troubles with chat
 

nvm - noticed while reading around that it is a bug by soe :)

Kine, you should entirely remove your old ProfitUI folder (located in the Everquest 2\UI\ folder) before installing the 3.x release (extract into your Everquest 2\ folder as always).

You can keep your UI settings but will likely need to adjust your hotbar sizes.

Don't forget to reinstall the persona window background images if you do not want to have a white background in the persona window. And you will need to redownload EQ2Map (you can backup the eq2map folders manually but it is probably not worth the hassle).

If that doesn't help maybe post a screenshot of what your hybrid looks like?

Hello,

I am using the Profit Reborn UI. I am having trouble with a couple things and if anyone could give me some information or some tips it would be most helpful!

I can't seem to move the casting bar. I can unlock the window. Once I hover my cursor over the casting bar the arrow icon will change to the move icon or resize icon. When I click to move or resize, it only pans my camera instead of moving the bar. Is there a trick to moving this bar? It's blocking my hot bars and when it pops up, I can't click the buttons on my hot bar that reside behind it.

I am also unable to move the 'spell affects' bar that is default to the lower right corner. Same idea, it just pans my camera. Oh and I lost my 'self' (your buffs spells you have active) spell affects window. How do I bring that back?

Thank you for your help!

gm9: Please don't double post, as that is considered spamming and unpolite. Thank you.

ah, you did post in here, sorry see my reply in your other thread :)

bgonzales3

double check your window is it checked " click through " this option , if its not , sorry no clue

Hi.
I searched around and try to use the search feature but i couldn't find what i was looking for.

Here's my problem.
I can't hide the player window (the one with the target and implied target) and make it stay hidden.
There's already one at the top so i don't need the small one.
I go into the Control Center et uncheck the box, but whenever i restart the game it'll show up again.
I tried the /save_uisettings, didn't work (unless you have to specify something after the command).

Other than that great UI, thanks to the authors :)

Not sure if this has been brought up before and didnt see any posts about it but 2 things for me:

1. When first logging in I get the old "cash" sound from when coin went to your INV for sales

2. When ever I bring up any window I get a loud "clunk" sound.

just want to say this is great ui i had and been using for a while now....

i just have one wish i my wish list

can ya do an up grade on the info center to list all know info on (new hq's languages, and quest series) because im tired of going to crap as ogaming and other sites for info that is wrong, outdated or just a pain in the ___ to find...

thanks though for your hard work..

Degolas, extract the _Player Window disable.zip in your ProfitUI folder to permanently disable the player window.

jonathn2875, I think there is something in the options to control the interface sounds.

thrdeye, the InfoCenter is not my work, that is the Milquetowst Infocenter from DBurgdorf which I include in the ProfitUI distribution (it is already perfect, so why reinvent the wheel? ;)). Head over to Darryl's forum thread and give him a nod and maybe provide some information which you think is missing.

found a bag issue
 

GM9, Awesome Interface I love it very much very easy to work with and great graphics, EXCELLENT WORK thank you for you time in creating it.

Sorry for a complaint though, well a bug really. I seem to be having trouble with my bags. Every so oftem I move something and a bag just dissapears, well the visible contents do anyway. I just have to resize the area to "See" things again. Also there seems to be a huge area of dead space on them. If I missed a post and fix on this I apologize, I trolled some looking for input on this.

Thank you again for an awesome UI, Keep up the good work :-)

Good Work!
 

First off - Excelent work, This is an absaloutely fantastic mod and a wonderful demonstration of useing the interface to its maximum potential, i envy your patience and dedication after creating a somewhat popular set of mods for eqlive i apreaciate how hard it is to maintain thease things.
i have onlyone request, i could not see it asked but then i have only read about 10 or so pages of the 74 already in this thread. Is it possible to add to the hotbar the charges/quantity number that is present on teh default ui please it's the only thing i miss now

Volizden, are you sure you are using my bags? My bags are neither resizable nor do they have any dead space. :confused:

Mafoo, that's already implemented. Check the sticky FAQ post in my forums for an explanation of all hotbar options.

I think i missed something
 

I had a look at what you suggested, but i think i must be being thick.
On the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
the only refernece i can see is talking about turning on and off the hotkey buttons and background grid or turning on and off teh spinner, i am after the number that would display howmanyof somethign you have in your inventory or number of charges (as displayed on an item in your inventory)
My apologies if i have over looked something

My bad, apparently I had forgotten to put that part in the FAQ. :o Fixed that. The point is that hiding the shortcut keys also hides the remaining charges display. That cannot currently be helped. So use a mode that does not hide the shortcut keys to see the charges.

and if you do not use the short cut keys you can un-assign them in the key bindings within options and the short cuts will disappear leaving just the charges. Also, I think if you put things in the 4th, 5th 6th, etc hotbar, because they do not have any shortcuts associated you can have text set as on to see charges without any shortcuts getting in the way :)

Experience % since LU29
 

I am not sure if anyone else has seen this happening so I thought I would post here to check. My husband and I both use this UI and we love it btw, but since the EoF update the exp % seems to have gone a bit crazy. We are used to it being somewhat off like hitting 101% before you actually level but since the last update with SOE it has gone off track by close to 5% at times.

For example I was crafting today and my exp % was at 89.7% then I completed an item and it dropped to 83.9%

This is happening on combat exp as well since the recent LU - its something we can live with, but it can be confusing. :eek:

Just wondering if this is something to do with a change since LU29. I have also checked and downloaded all your current files. Thanks again for all the work you did on your UI it has been my favorite of all that I have used :nana:

Thanks again
