that is so strange. It fixed it, but I didn't have any pre 4.0 thorUI. Its fixed so who knows. Thanks

Works great
 

I love the UI, makes playing on my dinky 15" screen so much better; however, being wierd i always crafted with the knowledge book open to the skill I was working with (sorted buffs by skill, one skill per page, tiers in rows and effects in colum) and the 4x4 layout of the original was perfect for my crafting. Is there a way that return the KB to it origingal form while maintaining the rest of the UI, I'd rather not have to close out the game and use the UISwitcher to go back to the orginal UI just for crafting. Thanks.

edit: Using the latest download that was available here this morning.

I believe you can use the default knowledge book by choosing the Custom install option, then unchecking all of the books (if memory serves correctly, there are three optional books).

I am unsure if this is addressed anywhere, or if I am simply too clueless to catch it, but I enjoy playing with my group bar down the far left side of the screen under myself. This last update has forced me to only have the bar horizontal; is there anyway to make it resizeable, or a vertical option for those of us who like it tucked to the side? (assuming I am not the only one...)

I feel guilty expressing that I would prefer a less busy group window as well then one with all the stas/numbers and such (or maybe pop up on mouseover only--it seems a bit redundant to have it set AND on the mouseover), but again I am sure I am in the total minority here :p

Thank you for all the great options you have! It makes so much in the game esier and smoother! :D

Lazaru5 is indeed correct. (Thanks man)
Also, you can just browse to the ThorUI directory and delete the "eq2ui_mainhud_knowledge.xml" and that will put you back to the default.
If you're just after the 4 spells per row, you can choose the red or blue dragon Knowledge book as well via the custom install. ;)

First of all let me say thank you for your feedback and NEVER feel hesitant about posting how you feel. ;)
You and (yes many others) will be happy to know I am working on a vertical group window option with the possibility to resize. (bear in mind It may be a bit as beta is taking some of my time and I'm trying to level my little lvl 35 Assassin to at least 45 for the release of "Desert of Flames" I haven't played much since starting this whole UI thing. :D

Until then you and others always have options (I thrive on ensuring you have them as I require them) you may simply delete the "eq2ui_mainhud_groupmembers.xml" from the ThorUI directory in order to return to the default group member window. ;)

Hope this helps and never hesitate to let me know if it didn't!

Bug
 

It seems that the power and health percentages shown for my group members with v4.6 stays static at 100% or 0%. The fraction seems to be working, but the percentage does not change. My personal box works fine, just the group members seem to be bugged.

The flaw is on SOE's side. While the dynamicdata objects for group health/power percentages exist, they are not currently being populated by the servers. There's nothing Faetyl can do about that right now, unfortunately.

I was just wondering if the latest version done anything to the movability of the interface windows. Since I DLed the latest version of this, I cannot perfect my UI because when I try to move windows, it moves in large incraments instead of the precide detailed incraments I could before.

Make sure you dont have it so its set to be aligned to a grid in the UI options

Oddly enough, if I did anything to the file that wasn't from the Thor, it slowed my game movement and framerate down significantly. I was choppy and barely moving til I put the ThorUI piece back in. I'll happily keep it going, with the promise of vertical bar coming! But I already have a tempermental machine, cant afford to get slowed more...I cant stand to play and miss all the beautiful graphics, which I have to do more and more it seems *sigh*

*edit* any way you can add in here your older group and player windows here so I and my friend can revert back to those? I think it was version 3.2..maybe...GAH cant remember really musta been not so long ago, but would rather use your old version then default.

Unfortunately, my friend had to get a new HD and he didnt really want to update the ThorUI at all, he liked his how it was..and he has no record of the old files, as I dont either seeing as I deleted to reinstall.

Thank you ever soo much *prays you still have copies of your work*

Have copies of every update since v1.4 when it became apparent others were actually interested. :)

I've attached the Player and GroupMembers Window XML from v3.6 as I believe that is probably the one you're after.
I also included the groupmember XML from v3.2 as requested, note: 3.2 didn't have a modded player window yet.
Let me know if it's not the right one you're looking for and we'll try another.

Was it a version that had colored backgrounds to the member names?
If so, that was straight from Ger before I began modifying it.

woohooo ! this UI will now be complete for me once you have done that :nana: :nana: :nana: using workaround as suggested by Faety for now

Raid Window Problems
 

Hello,

Love this new interface and eq2maps works great with it! Having trouble with altering the Raid window. Might just be a noob issue but I can not seem to move, resize or do anything to the way my raid window was before I installed the new interface.

I will log on now and try that. hehe

Check the main page for the "HotFix" link.
The Raid Window was updated to resolve that issue.
The update will be included in the next release, but until then it's available in the hotfix section. :)

Groupmembers - Vertical (Fills Top to Bottom)
 

Here's my first stab at the Vertical Groupmembers window.
This one starts at the top and fills downward.
I'll be bringing the bottom to top and right to left versions out shortly.

Can everyone be thinking of what other window variation options you may like?

Feel free to post those suggestions here...

Beta and Poll open
 

I've opened a thread to post the beta groupmember window with variable fill options (Left to Right, Top to Bottom, Right to Left, and Bottom to Top)

I've also included a poll/vote option to decide if users want the numerical readouts for health & power.

Be sure to vote if you have a preference :)
I'm leaning more towards removing numerical values...

Here's the link to the post:
http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/s...7662#post27662

Im for top to bottom and no numerical values, healers may want the numerical data though Id imagine most use the health bars as indication.

Yo Faetyl, you're doing a tremendous job with this UI!! :nana: :nana: :nana:


Not quite sure if it can be done {but then again, I didn't think Goldi's EQ2/Start button mod (with all the extra buttons on it) could be done, either)....

Is it possible to add a button to the bank window that would allow you to open all the bags/containers a person may have in it (the shared slots could be included, or they could have their own button....either way works for me)?

I don't believe so, although you've sparked my interest/curiosity again so i'll do some more research on this subject.
See this post and others like it for more information:
http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=3773

Edit: This is not currently possible but I have a good "feeling" this is on it's way if viewers of the above post have submitted feedback. :D

I can however add a button to atleast open all of the bags that are on your character though and have been thinking about adding it to the bank and inventory windows.
Would you like that until the open all bank slots is an option?

Wow.....I guess I should make more use of the Search function on these forums to make sure the issue/request I post about is not already out there somewhere :o :p

Honestly, Faetyl....I (personally) wouldn't use the button very much, as I have that same command mapped to a key. Not sure about others that use this UI. But hey, this is your brainchild...you can add it if you want ;)

Small Problem? ThorUI
 

:) Hello - I installed ThorUI and Ive never used one before but It seems to be really great. eyes still crossed over UI instructions (but I did it) - I only have 1 question not sure if its me or the system?

I cant seem to buy or sell anything in the game., All of the merchants are saying "You are too busy to do a merchant transaction at this time." I was able to bank after a sec - but my bags are getting full - checked the (Hotfixes) and I didn't know if one of them applied.

If someone could instruct me what to do in 2nd grade computerese Id hopefully be able to fix it -well maybe. :eek:

Small Problem Solved - Duh My fault.
 

:D Sorry had to write back - Went back in to see if I could figure out why I was showing so busy - Couldn't figure out why except too many cookies - Me eating them I mean. Sooo happened to notice an extra line over in the border to the left side of screen. Welp sure enought it was the merchant buy sell screen. So I just managed to grab ahold of it and pull it out. Boy do I feel dumb. he he. Reminds me of my dog Siberian Husky - He sticks his head ( Well part of his head anyway) Under the edge of the couch and thinks you cant see him. Poof he's invisible.- Again sorry if I worried you. Tinkerbell error.

I really think I like this UI. Thank You Must have taken a lot of hard work and dedication.

LOL, love the husky story!
Welcome to using the ThorUI and happy you found the issue.
Don't hesitate to post comments and suggestions here as they are ALWAYS welcome. :)

Beta version 4.7.1 posted
 

I'm posting beta version 4.7.1 in the beta section now.
This is an update to the 4.7.0 beta as Sony has applied LU13 to the test servers.
The "beta" is a fully working install that should actually be better than 4.6 in my oppinion. Just be sure to uninstall any earlier versions.
Also note: My installer used to NOT overwrite existing XML for fear of overwriting anything a user may have added as an additional mod.
I have since changed the installer to overwrite all files except the "notes1-4" so be sure to backup any 3rd party mods you may wish to use with the ThorUI.

the norrath time window
 

i love the UI it works great...except the time icon...its in the upperleft corner and i cant move it...and its right in the area of my target boxes...plz help me to move the times box...thnx

Luuscious Ssweet

Replied to your other post already but i'll reply here as well "just in case" ;)
Just right click the clock an area that's not on the dial or on text (any empty black area on the clock window) choose window settings and unlock.
You should now be able to move to your hearts content. :)
Let me know if it doesn't work and we can hook up on MSN or Yahoo messenger to work through it if you have time.

Please be aware of the following if using my uisettings.ini for window settings:
If you use my uisettings.ini file (See Attachement) the following files are hidden until mouse over for ease of use: Map (Middle/Right of screen), Track (Extreeme/Right of screen), Quest Journal Helper (Top/Right of screen), Quest Journal (Middle/Left of screen), Skills (Extreeme/Left of screen) If you're missing a window, just move your mouse around a bit.

^ So place it in and rename it EQ2.ini? For your settings to work?

No don't touch eq2.ini the installer takes care of that for you.

To use my window placement file you will need to locate your servername_charactername_eq2_uisettings.ini file
For example: I play on the Unrest server and my characters name is Faetyl I would find the following file "unrest_faetyl_eq2_uisettings.ini"
I would then back it up by renaming to "backup_unrest_faetyl_eq2_uisettings.ini"

I would then check to see what resolution I play at by checking the in game options within preferences.
This tells "me" i play at 1280x1024 therefore I would locate the file in my "EverQuest II" directory called "ThorUI_1280x1024_eq2_uisettings.ini"
I would copy and rename this file to "unrest_faetyl_eq2_uisettings.ini"

That's it.
Login and your using all my window placments for that character.
Repeat for any other characters your wish.
If your somewhat technical you can use the UISwitcher to copy the "ThorUI_1280x1024_eq2_uisettings.ini" to all your characters at once.

For those who hate my installer but like something in the UI...
 

For those of you who hate my installer but like something in the UI...
Here's the same files that I used to make the current release in zipped format with no installer and minus the UISwitcher to save space. ;)

Some xml files that are included here are not available with the installer as they are "a work in progress". (Use these at your own risk.)

Updates coming soon
 

Tell me what you think, good, bad, ugly...
See attachements
Just download and place in the ThorUI folder overwriting any already existing...

Edited:
Uploaded in v4.8.1

I installed your UI yesterday and I really enjoy using this one. You've done some awesome work with the quest journal (heritage, writs ect.).

Theres one little thing that I noticed though, before this one I didnt use the black "movie screen"-like edge, which Im using now with your UI. My problem is though, that before I installed the UI my background screen (so ingame environmental objects like walls en trees in the distance) were clear, since I installed the UI it has become blurry.
Im not sure if its caused by the "movie-screen"-edge because it squeezes the screen and could distort certain graphics.
I always ran the game at high performance so I clicked that, with no change. I tried several other graphical options, but with no succes yet.

If anyone could help me with this, your help will be much appreciated.

Again, awesome UI and keep up the work :cool:

Still trying to make up my mind if i like this mod at th moment, been using Feinx one with the arcane style bars (which i really do like) but since he seems to have vanished and possible not updating anymore i need to find a new one.

id did try 4.6 but went back to arcane going to give 4.7 a try.

My only gripe so far is your messing with UIswitcher, cause i've used the install package it overwrites the UIswitcher i've already installed myself from a seperate download this then resets its settings. Then when i uninstall ThorUI it gets rid of UIswitcher, finding that very annoying tbh, should have an option on install if you want ui switching installed, and on uninstall have option to leave ui switcher installed.

:o
Very good point, I'll make that change for next release and sorry for the trouble.

Posted this to another thread but this seemed a more appropriate place, so apologies for the repeat. :rolleyes:

I've tried ThorUI for my healer (32 Mystic) and like it a lot. The only thing I'd suggest to really improve it would be to move the Exp bar and Startbutton from upper right down to the bottom right and place the maintained spells window up top as well. This is particularly helpful for healers because Wards , Regens, etc. are on timers and can also be 'used up' early. By having it up top we can see when these have expired without having to shift focus from the health bars down to the bottom of the screen. Just a thought ;)

Wow, VERY good point indeed!

Servers are still down currently but I can't wait to get in so I can see about implementing this! :nana:

I may need to do some resizing on some windows to make them fit but I'm in the process of a full revamp anyways. ;)
Until then, you can unlock and move them manually.
Thank you VERY much for that suggestion.

milquetowst is the brains behind the Quest Journal and should have full credit.
All I did was include it here with a few minor changes.

As for the graphic distortion.
Have you tried setting your in game options back to default?
Also, could you attach a screenshot of the issue.
I'm interested in traking this down.
To my knowledge UI's shouldn't cause a blurriness to occur.

Mirror
 

Haven't read the whole thread but I did recently download the UI. First, I must say your doing a great job and love it. One thing I have noticed when installing your program that when I look in the mirror I see a bunch of distorted colors. I can always see it when I get close to the mirror. It appears for me in the bottom right corner. If it's something on my end plz let me know, thanks.

Mirac also mentioned a graphic distortion just a couple post up.
Could you both attach sceenshots so I can see this?
I just logged in and took a couple screenys at full graphics with and without night vision near a mirror and didn't notice anything.
Does it appear without my UI?
Have you tried resetting to defaults on in game display settings?
If you use either of the first three circle buttons on the starmenu you without first setting up your own settings, you will load mine which may not be compatible with your graphics adapter. I'm grasping at straws now. :)
