Click cures
 

Landiin,

Just curious, what happend to the click cures?? I miss them

eXtreme's Image files
 

Hi Landiin,

I have a question regarding the images used: Have you ever thought about using the .PNG format for the images? I've often wondered if they wouldn't load faster with better clarity and the file size might be reduced (which would improve load time and performance).

End of a good thing?
 

First of all, happy holidays!

Now then. I've used this UI almost since it became live on eq2interface. But I think it's end is near for it. Maintanence has almost ground to a halt, have to use other people's components to fix things not fixed in LU29/30.

All of a sudden .ini files are reverting to raw. On both my boxes and on guildmates as well. Have had to delete that character's ini file and let it replace it with selection from a near same ini file from another character then once I have it set again, Back it up.

eXtremeUI was the gem of all interfaces. I got almost my entire guild (200+ accounts) using it. But I quit when I had to play techsupport almost on a daily basis. Sure, when a LU comes out, it may take a day or two to fix up, and we've understood and waited and patched. But it's still not been updated since before LU29.

I'll watch and wait... don't let it die

Well, one of the things I know is that Landiin has moved to a new place and was having problems with his Internet connection. I'm sure he'll go into more detail when he reads this post.

As for the UI, what problems are you having? I did notice 1 problem with the pet window missing graphics and found out it was a syntax error in the XML file. I've corrected that (and I've attached it to this post). I know the 'click-to-cure' is missing and it's been posted, the bags are large and that's been posted as well. One of the other things I've noticed (but I don't think it's eXtreme's fault) is the compass. It doesn't point in the right direction. The direction doesn't correspond with the /loc.

What have you found?

Well, was cranky that day because of the reverting .ini files (that is continuing to happen guild wide and I was catching the heat) Finally telling them to back up their proper .ini once they get it all set back up properly.

What have I found. It's all been listed and I do come and check daily for updates. Yes, I know there was a move involved. Just seems I'm now using the eXtremeUI shell, with a ton of non eXtremeUI enhancements mismatching and regular UI things (frostfell, but usually have to use Regular UI stuff for the temp events) to make it work.

People in the guild just look at the Control Panel notes for what's going on. Late November was the last thing said, so they are starting to abandon it. I just want this to continue on.

Yeah, I feel your pain. I've been trying to learn the XML code so that as I find a problem with the UI, I can fix it and then post the fixed XML file here for others to download.

I like the look and feel of this UI myself and would hate to see it fall by the wayside. :)

I'm sorry for the lack of support and updates lately guys:( eXtreme isn't dead by no means, I just have a lot going on ATM. New house and all the oh frack I forgot to have this done stuff that comes with it. I've gone through 3 routers and now my modem is out and should be in with in a week. ( hate ordering crap off ebay but when you move where there isn't cable or DSL and have to use old technology what can u do lol).

For now you guys start making a list and post them here of what needs addressing and things you want to see added. This way I can keep a track of things with out having to search though other older post.

I'm also working on a project for a universal UI updater that can be used for files hosted at this site. Yes it's based on our current AUCP but on crack:P I know this doesn't help you out in the issues you have with the UI but just thought I'd toss it in for another reason for delays. Yea I know excuses, excuses ... lol

I love this UI , but atm I can only have a portion of it. Monitor limits me to 1280X1024 res. So when I load the UI in that res. stuff doesnt fit. I am copying the ini files for the correct res. and saving the corect res under settings in the AUCP. I guess what I'm asking is , is there a way to scale the UI size like in WoW , or is the something I am missing that will set the UI up like your screen's but in 1280X1024?

TIA
Toup

cant get it to work
 

hey folks, ive just installed this ui for the first time. used the installer like your supposed to, and it asked me to change my default UI to be Extreme, it directed me to a settings page. but i see no option for default ui.. where is this please.... itried to launch eq2, and its moved all my windows around, but still using the old ui, not extreme.

Go back into settings under client settings and click the default button I believe its called then click save. If save remains grayed out, change one of the Trues to false and back to true then click save

I've just noticed some of the buttons in the top left control box don't actually work (the stop drink and eat come to mind). Is this something left over from older code? Oh btw if you download milquest it opens with the info button already there.

Yes the stop drink/eat show hood is old code and has to be redone with the changes to EQ2. Yup the info button opens the infocenter:) Made sure I fixed that when I took the infocenter out as a default mod.

Complete Removal
 

I am trying to ocompletely remove the UI from my comp. to reinstall. I have ran the uninstaller from Start-> Programs and have removed all of the files that I can identify from my directory. I am obviously missing a few. Almost the entire UI is gone except for the 2 black background hashes up top of screen and the bottom. The Launchpad still downloads the .zip file during updating and the UIBuilder file from the directory will not stay away after being deleted! Thanks alot in advance, I love the UI, want to install it correctly this time!

Make sure the eXtreme directory is gone from the ui/ directory. Delete eq2.ini and your char settings.ini file from the everquest2 directory. The uninstaller will not remove these two files as they can hold user settings.

What .zip file is the launchpad downloading? If you are talking about uibuilder.zip it will alwasy download that if it's missing or out of date, it is part of the everquest 2 distribution. If the launchpad downloads it, then it is from SOE not me.

New showhelm/showhood selector
 

could you plz remove this last updated feature.. it seems that the pull menue for showhelm/showhood etc has focus mostly the time I use my cursor keys for char movement.. so if I press up or down key to move my char forward and backward the menue is scrolling up and down .. only thing I can do to get my cursor key work is to press the right mouse button at the same time.. and btw.. it seems it wont work with the german client.. I can select what I want.. my char isnt changing from showhelm to showhood etc.. if I type the slash commands it works..

Oh, OK, will look at that.. For now click in the chat input box of some other object should remove the focus from the drop down. ( I think) I'll look at that this weekend.

I got everything fixed i believe! Thanks!

Problem with the info button
 

the info button brings nothing up how can this be solved

If you read the FAQ, it will tell you a lot of the questiongs you have about eXtreme. Ultimately the eXtreme's FAQ will tell you to download and install the infocenter.

quick character switch
 

i cant get it to work at all not sure why it doesnt come up dont even have the button i do have my characters names in there

Sorry Aeromier totally missed this post. I don't think I've ever used or tied the .png formant with this UI. Things here at work and home are coming out of the flat spin I've seemed to of been in. So maybe (and I know I've said this before) can get back to the UI.

Starting today, my hotbars will no longer stay on top of other windows when I click the other windows. I always have 2 hotbars on top of the window containing my hp and mana bars, maintained spells, and EQ2 menu button, but now, when I click on that window, my 2 hotbars that were on top of it disappear under it. Please fix the hotbars so that they once again stay on top of other windows. Thanks a lot.

Oh crap, forgot to put that in when I fexed the dead space.. Fixing now..

edit:

Fixed and patched.

I just patched again and the hotbars still won't stay on top. Also, another problem I forgot to mention earlier is that it's extremely difficult to get the hotbar right-click context menu to come up. I have to position my mouse just perfectly on the edge of the hotbar and right-click to get it. There no longer exists the little box at the top-right hand corner that you can right-click to get it.

Yes I just repatched as well and the hotbars are still not staying on top. Its also extremely hard to move them around since that little gray box is no longer in the corner.

I have more than one questions :)

1. My Main Spellbar is also not on top
2. Since EoF all Spellbars and the active quest window are draw with standard layout (not with gray background and border) is this 'normal'?
3. Where is the time window (day/night)?
4. My compass is not correct (if I stay to the north the compass says west, I think... but definitly not to the north, an extrem difference and on all maps)
5. If I make a timequest, then I can't see my time on the active quest window... only: time remain stands on it
6. On the broker window I can't see the street (or only a part) from sellers

I think thats all difficults that I have.

BTW: I'm using the 1280x1024 resolution and the german version. Also I tested reinstall the UI but allways the same problems...

1. Added to list
2. spellbars are made that way because some people move them into the play screen. For the active quest window you prob have the opacity set to 0 or frame and title bars turned off.
3. The time is on your inventory page. (made to be at all times)
4. Added to list; I'll get to this some day.
5. Added to list; I had thought it was fixed already will look into it.
6: Added to list

Thanks for your fast answers of my questions...

But I found two more *g*

1. The small icons from the adventureclass on the group members are not correct.
2. The oneclick cure buttons are not working... (please fix it... for healers very important *g*)

Since hotbar update, the hotbars are now completely broken. Cannot get up options, cannot delete icons, or make any changes.

New update live:P

issues worked on:

Compass Trueness
Hot Key window
Quest Timer
New Chat Window ( got side tracked lol)
Something else, read the update notes in the patcher I may of missed something here :P

Thanks for the fixes. However, there's still a problem with the hotbars. =/ While you did restore the little gray handle to the hotbars, it can only be used to move the hotbar once it is unlocked. It cannot be right-clicked on to bring up the hotbar context menu. In fact, it seems almost impossible to bring up the hotbar context menu now. Please see if you can get this fixed. Thanks a lot.

BLASTED HOT KEYS!!!

This probably occured in the latest update, but you can only get the hotkey window menu outside of the Iconbank. So it has to be at the VERY edge of the window.

Sweet thanks for the tip Death; I'll have my handle extend to the edge of the window so one can click on it.. OK OK I should say I'll try to lol..

Ok, I can now get the hotbar context menu to appear, but there's a new problem, lol. It is now impossible to get a hotbar to arrange itself into more than one row. I generally have several hotbars that I have in a 2x6 configuration. This configuration can no longer be obtained. Attempting to shorten the hotbar no longer makes it rearrange itself into multiple rows. The hotbar just snaps back to the full 1x12 length.

Don't really know what I can do about that, as that part is controlled souly by SOE. I'll look at it tonight but there isn't any script that I added that would prevent it from doing that. The hot keys seem to be in a state of FUBAR from LU31.

There are a couple of issues I see on SOE's side:

• If you have the icons set to super small, when you log back in the window/frame refuses to shrink around the iconbank and you have to manually adjust them.
• Context menu is only available if accessed in dead space.

Well until this most recent UI update, I had no problem getting hotbars into 2x6 configurations, so I have to imagine it's something you changed that is preventing this from happening now, but I could be wrong, I suppose.

Delete or rename eq2ui_mainhud_hotkeys.xml; doing this will revert the hotkeys back to default.

All I did to the hotkeys was shrink the dead space in the dfault and add the handle widget and thats it, nothing else was changed. As stated in my last post I'll have to login and play with them when I get home.

I feel like I may have irritated/offended you, and if so I apologize. It was not intentional. Just so you know, deleting the hotkey file allows me to once again get the hotbars into a 2x6 configuration, but also re-creates the problem of the hotbars not staying on top.

No no no, that isn't the case. I'm imposible to offend:)

It's just I get tired of them (SOE) Fixing things that arn't broke.

Maybe they don't like the handle I've added. I'll do some more on it tonight as see what happens.

Untill then you can edit default eq2ui_mainhud_hotkeys.xml so they stay on top. Just find the first <Page and after </page type in AlwaysOnTop="True". Then save it to the eXtreme directory.
