Map Spoiler Request
 

I love this mod first and foremost. But I have a request...

Is there way to have the spoiler NOT open automatically when the Map is opened up? I would rather chose when I want spoiler open instead of it automatically opening everytime I reopen the map. I know I can simply click th emin or close button, but that is extra clicking. Just a request for my own personal tastes. If you want, just tell where in the code it is telling it to auto open on Map open and I can alter it for my suit.

Thank you for a wonderful, useful mod!!!

Mapspoiler example_eq2ui_mainhud.xml?
 

I can't find this file in the .zip, and don't already have one for my UI. Any chance you could just post what the contents should be here? Many thanks!

The code is in the eq2map\plugin7.xml in a control called OnLoadWindow. Originally I had planned to have the mapspoiler hide itself when it was first loaded - the /show_window has to load the spoiler (even if it's made invisible after) so that the plugin can keep the spoiler page synced to the map page.

There's surely a better way to accomplish that, however. That and figuring out how to make the stupid scrollbar scroll more than one pixel at a time are the two biggest annoyances I still have with the spoiler.

Doh, I haven't updated the spoiler in so long I knew I had forgotten something!

You can just copy the eq2ui_mainhud.xml out of the UI\Default folder to your custom UI folder and then edit it. I'll try to get a version up with the correction ASAP.

Silly me, if I weren't brain dead today, I woulda thought of that! Thanks Mother!

I agree, I have my map key binded to my mouse wheel button and it would be nice to close the spoiler along with the map when I click this button :)

Naked windows
 

Any chance you could post "naked" versions of the target and implied windows, or tell me which lines in the .xml to edit/remove?

Works for all but EoF maps
 

For some reason, the spoiler works perfect for all maps BUT the new EoF maps!

On my other machine, the Spoiler works for EoF maps, but I get NOT icons/dots on the EQ2map. This machine, I have the icons/poi dots, but the spoiler (even after closing and reopening the map) remains blank. Any suggs? Do I need to uininstall and re-install EQ2Map maybe?

Ok figured it out
 

Man I love this mod!!! Ok, I had to reinstall EQ2map and reinstall the Spoiler. Once I did, it works PERFECT! :nana:

Minor Bug
 

Feature request Map Spoiler:

Would be great if i could hide the background with the opto. slider, so only the entries are visible like MaddBombers Tracking window (an depend on opto on mouse over it shows scrollbar.

Thanks

Group window query
 

Have installed a variety of Mother's interfaces and all are working great (a big thanks Mother), except my group window. My health and power bars are correct but the percentages always show 0%. When I mouse over, the correct percentages are available.

I'm assuming that since nobody else has reported this error, it must either be one of my UI settings or a conflicting UI mod. Any suggestions would be greatfully received.

Thanks

FYI: that workaround is listed in the description of the mod:

I would like to add my name to the request for getting the window to close via the M key but would prefer the ability to close the window via the ESC key instead / as well.

I'm aware of the problem. The mod is coded correctly, but the EQ2 client does not properly update the text. All I can suggest is /bug'ing it and hoping SOE fixes the client. In the meantime, I had to go back to the absolute raw numbers. I left the percent option in, hoping that it would eventually be fixed, but that seems less and less likely as months go by. :mad:

OK here's my issue, the only mod that I had to install was EQ2maps, otherwise I use a bag mod and a persona/inspect mod, both of which I just had to manually put in the UI folder. I've done what the installing notes said but everytime I try to load EQ2, the game itself patches my eq2ui_mainhud.xml file and I'm stuck with a black box. Any ideas?

Yes, read the FAQ (you are installing/editing in the wrong folder).

Note on using the timer:

If you use the eq2ui_mainHUD_example.xml Mother provides (put it in your custom UI folder and rename to eq2ui_mainHUD.xml per instructions), you will lose function of your achievement and guild heraldry selection windows - they'll pop up, but you won't be able to do much of anything with them. To correct this, add these lines to the eq2ui_mainHUD.xml file:

Alternately, copy the eq2ui_mainHUD.xml file from your default UI folder to your custom UI folder and add:

With that fix, love the timer. Mother, my coercer thanks you from the bottom of his black and twisted heart!

Map Project
 

Anyone try this with EQ2Map Auto and Fetish 7.5? :o

I've been noticing some errors in my ui.log file lately and have tracked a couple down to the eq2ui_journals.xml file that comes with the InfoCenter. Mind you, these errors do not negatively effect my gameplay so they really aren't a big deal but it would be nice if I could elliminate them anyways.

Since I'm not using the CoinWeight or the MiniStats mods nor do I even know what the NightVision reference is for could I just remove the following lines from the xml file to get rid of the errors?

Also, I don't really know where the following errors are coming from but any insight into getting rid of them would be highly appreciated.

I think you posted in the wrong thread unless mother has released an infocenter as well -- I assume you're talking about Milquetowst' (DBurgdorf's) mod? The additional includes are for other mods from Darryl. You can leave them in or remove them, both is fine. :)

The last error shows that one of your files has got a closing tag </> without an opening tag <>, i.e. incorrect XML structure.

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread. I could have sworn that I clicked on the InfoCenter off of my favorites list. I really need to stop posting. :o

Thanks for the response. I'll try to find the culprit of the missing tag. Funny thing is that I have the same mods installed on 2 computers and only one has that particular error line.

I'll look into and try to post in the appropriate thread if anything becomes of it. Sorry again Mother, I didn't mean to hijack your thread.

eq2map spoiler question
 

Just deleted my eq2map files, installed the manual update version instead of the auto updating version, and installed eq2map spoiler as the instructions sate, made the change to the .xml file, and when i log into game, i have an small button on my map window that says Show Spoiler, but it's not clickable. Have tried multiple zones and opening the map several times, but all i get is my regular eq2map interface and an extra button that wont let me turn on/open the spoiler list. Any ideas?

It seems since I ran the EQ2MapUpdater a week or so ago, the map spoiler window gets stuck minimized for some reason.

I open my map window and map spoiler pops up. I can minimize and maximize the map spoiler window then as much as a I want to. I close my map and minimize the map spoiler window. Later on when I go to open maximize the map spoiler window, it won't come down. It almost appears that somehow it got resized and is trying to open up instead of down.

I am using gm9's ProfitUI and just dropped in mother's map spoiler. It was working fine till about a week ago. I have gotten so used to this mod, it is very hard to go without it. :(

Mother's Tradeskills - Update Request
 

I have been away from EQ2 for a while, so when I returned to it recently, of course, the first thing I did was look around for some up-to-date mods because anything I had was strictly out of date. :eek:

I like several of your mods and most of them work just fine, but when I put your Tradeskills Window mod in it simply refuses to load up in EQ2 for some reason. All I can get is the standard TS window. :( I don't know if this is because you don't have a Transmuting window included with it or not, but I am highly suspicious that it might be the case, although I can see that you have told EQ2 to include its own Transmuting window and that should be sufficient to satisfy it. :rolleyes:

I am not running any of the expansion and only the first two of the addons - Bloodlines and Splitpaw - so I'm not sure if that would have anything to do with it or not. :confused:

Please update this mod because it looks like it would be much more satisfactory than the mod that I am currently having to use in its stead.

Also, thanks for all the hard work and the other nice mods that I am currently using that do work. :)

I'm not sure why it's not working for you, but I assure you I don't craft with any mod except my own :P

Does EQ2 not load at all with the tradeskill window, or does the tradeskill window just not come up in-game? Do you get any kind of message?

Odd... I don't know why this is happening to you. I have had the spoiler get stuck minimized, but only once or twice and not at all recently. I'll see if I can duplicate the problem with the steps you gave.
