That raid window has been fixed like 3 times now :( ... I dunno what there doing but it kept breaking untill I re modded the new default one so this one works with the right click menu now so you will be able to set it transparent.... It may also help if you turn the background on for it so you can resize and position it again if you been trying to move the old versions about..........

The raid window should take up the whole of the playable area!
Have frame and backgrounds turned off
And in the right click window options enable "clickthrough" for the window
That way you can move the raid group boxes anywhere you like again and it behaves exactly like the old one did oks...

Look for unpdate tonight as I have been messing with a few other windows also....

Raid window is perfect and works as advertised, thank you. Another yet baffling thing for me... The maintained spells... The ones that are put on you by you and everyone else...

I have expanded that window to as large as it will go, but it will only get so big as a small rectangle. I really can't change much of the width or height of it and once a raid drops their spells on me it's REALLY not big enough. And mousing over the spells does not allow you to examine them or to see what they are, it just says "spell effects". Sometimes thats a very important part of this type of gaming. :cool:

Any suggestions on what to do, is it something I can do here? I've dinked with it a ton and really haven't had any success in getting it to act like I want it to.

One last little nit picky thingy... I usually run around with my farthest right inventory box open as I keep my much needed and fiddled with goodies in there, weapons, boots, food, mounts etc. On the inventory window only the 4 left inventory boxes show with 2 slots visible for food. Can you remove the food on this setting and get all 6 bags in there and when switched THEN show the food, ranged, shield etc? Now food shows both times you switch.

Many thanks.

Raid window needs to be toggled to clickthough everytime you damn well in so I have noticed as its not holding settings and wont let me force them either... I say this a soe bug maybe

Maintained is whats on display in the player window I have and if you drag it up a bit it will show all 30 ....

But since your talking about raids I suspect you mean the "Effects" window.... If thats the case you should be able to see all 30 already... If there is more than 30 then not much I can do as SoE only give 30 to work with.. and yes it is a small box and mousing over it for me does show the spell tooltip and right click menu etc etc ... check its location... move it somplace else and try maybe you got another window overlapping it?

The switching on the Inv window works fine also.....

Only thing I can think of is maybe you play on a US server and there has been yet another patch that has broken stuff.... Short of that it all works just fine at my end for now...

Like I say if I cant get it to break then I cant fix it heh ;)

Madhog !!
 

Oks this should stop you whining, In the next update all window frames and backgrounds can be made transparent ! with the exception of the Boxes for example the boxes around the target windows and the 4 boxes in the player window they remain but there backgrounds are semi-transparent..

Also the alt_windows folder is back and contains the exp window that you lot are curently using and also there is another folder in there that contains the fake inv window / quest helper (Madhog's set up if you like)

This should make things much easier when your updating now

See I do look after you Madhog mate ;)

Whine whine snivel whine! My turn. I don't want Madhog to get all the attention. :)

When I installed the 2.7, I nuked the old one, and put this in it's place. I am pretty sure I know how to install this UI by now, but you never know... so this is more a question of, wtf have I done wrong, not you - Sir Laffs. ~brown nose noises~

Here's what it looks like on first load. This is with the replaced server_character_uisettings.ini thingy too, since my existing one (ahem) was also jacked. :)

http://eq2.theaterofdreamsmt.com/fil.../ui_jacked.jpg

Advice?

Hehe with 2.7 i have an Big Problem :)

All the Backgrounds like Startmenue or the Chatselection are Black. I cant change any Windows because i dont see the Menue to the Options ...

Bout time too ya slacker!

Hanta dont go dissing me, if it wasnt for me, and my encouragement, and in fact, request for this version, we wouldnt have it! Hes just the monkey, Im the organ grinder! Who's the daddy!

:D

That a funky screeny btw, Id love to know how you did that hehe, in the mean time I think Id delete my entire Laffs folder, and use Profits, he respects his users. *giggle*. Ok ok, delete entire folder, delete ini's for chars then re unzip everything from a fresh download from here, ie start from scratch.

So when is that going up Laffy? You seen the next LU notes on Test? You're gonna have a version number to play with or sommat.

*boggle*

Power Bar - HotKey list
 

Love the UI. Especially love the 'find now' button for my store!

My power bar is missing. I tried deleting and using your included UIsetting file, but still no luck. Is there a hot-key to show / hide the power bar?

Having a list of the hot-keys to show / hide windows would be awesome!

Any help is appreciated. Kinda hard to play without an idea of how much power I have :eek:

Keemo

Still working on that exp bar likes.... Just resize it down and move the inv window back into place nothing is jacked.

Version numbers bah!............

As for black backgrounds, Quite a few of the windows that are not part of the main display jsut use the default blue backgrounds now.... To me it seems that you dont have all of my images in the right place...

The common hotkeys to toggle things is in the read me file in the Laffs Lite folder..

I believe its Alt + C. I started hitting every combo of keys last night cause I was missing mine. heh... took me a while to find that.

Temperomentis

AWESOME! :nana: Thanks! That was it! I thought I hit everything too!

A list of all the hotkeys somewhere would be awesome!

Kool...

But thers only 3 m8 that triggers stuff in this UI and they in the read me file my friend :)

Reasan I dont post em here is I dont recall all 3 lmao .. and cant be bothered to look its late and me off to bed lol GL guys ;) lol

Cheers Laffy, just got the latest version and installed the alt windows, looks good. Im almost done with the notes window, theres just too much duplicated stuff in there like the HQ guides which are already in the Journal tabs etc.

Basically Ive added in the Carpet Quest guide, the Sceptre HQ from DoF, plus something else I forget *giggle*. I could do with an idea for 3 of the pages tho, any suggestions?

This evening Ill post that here for you to add, plus some other files you can lob in the Alt window you did for me (Bag one for starters that I use...) plus my ini and a screeny so people can see the alternative.

So .. i have all the Images like your version .. but i have an black Startmenue , the Windows Options are a Small Black Box und the UI crashes after 2-3 Sek when i log in.

So i must Say .. the UI dont work by me.

Realy strange stuff mate lol .... Was you using any other UI before this one? apart from default?


Madhog..

Oks thanks that will be a good help, Its nice to see you actualy doing some work for once ;) , This monkey is getting tired lol

Ok files attached:

Screeny of my setup, my ini file to get it that layout. Also, I use the Alt target window, and the alt inventory one too. Also is my notes page with more useful notes on it. Finally my bag mod which was Az somethings from ages ago, plus a screeny of erm a screen with my bags and inventory open!

oks thanks, Got them in the next update for you ;)

Righto ta!

Just as a note, I always have to Alt-C when I log in to get the power bar and element from the top back. Twice. Works tho, doesnt bother me just info for other people who use this.

Oks Hoggy I'll look into that next m8,

There is an update I will post maybe tomorrow... main things being the target windows and also cleaned up a few details in other windows....

Madhog got me hooked on this transparent bs type UI now lol so I been making the view's better when you have the windows set to that style etc :p


EDIT

Madhog, I just taken a look actualy... and are you using the windows from the alt false inv folder I have in the download now? ... If not could you try them please especialy the clock if nothing else as that one is the trigger for the other 2 windows....

If you are using that one and you still need to toggle alt+c then I will change the code a bit for you to test again oks?

Yes Im using 2.7, the one thats up atm and have to Alt-C

So does me missus.

*giggle*

And you are using the files out of the alt folder I take it?

If so then maybe they chanced the toggle so you dont have to code it twice for it to work .. so I will take part out and see what happens then lol

For now just keep hitting alt+c mate for the missus , b4 she sees the screen I dont want / need her on me case as well lol ... You can sort out that yourself lol :)

Yeah we using the alt folder, but honestly, we are ok Alt-C'ing, it aint a hassle, just log in, alt-c twice, jobs a goodun!

Pet Target Window
 

The Laffs Lite is a sweet interface but I am having an issue with the target/pet window. When I enable the frame on the window and I have an active pet it displays the pet health perfectly but when I target somthing else my Pets health is hidden. You can see the very top of the the bar but you are unable to tell whe the pets health is without highlighting the pet. i have screenshots if needed.


Thanks

Oks... I set a few new commands into that view give this a try please ;)

Also this is part of the new target window I have done (yes it kinnda looks the same at first .. but both the con versions are set out the same way and been cleaned up... Also when they fix the effects for the detailed con view then it should look sweet for both :), Implied target has been done as well but that one will be in with my next update.. along with a few other stuff that has been tweeked as well )

:p

Target
 

Laff your the man that works perfect

Thanks

You da daddy!

Ohh, I see... the xp bar is supposed to look like that.

As for "jacked", I use it affectionately. ~huggles~ Kudos on the patience, as I'd be telling 8 pages of yippers to go pound sand by now. ;)

LU17 is helpful heh. Tells you that the personae window and hotbars arent working properly. They seem ok tbh, suspect the hotbars is a resizing issue, and the personae is probably missing some info.

Should make troubleshooting easier in the future tho!

No lol just more work to update version numbers with stuff that already works the way I see it likes :(

As for hotbars bah no ned to resize i done that allredy lol .... persona erm well yeh theer is somthing missing I know but dont recall what atm ... gimmie a break im old as well lol .. :)

Not sure cos obviously I aint seen it, but listening to guildies talking I think the thing missing from the personae window is actual numbers on the factions bit.

Yes thats all on that window. I deleted the one outa my UI folder and using the default one. Tbh I cant see any difference between your one and the default one! Except of course the default one works and lists factions numerically too /giggle

All I did with the default one was make the titlebar transparent and move the close button etc down into the main window... There's not much that actualy needs doing to the other windows now likes... The color is basicly the same and the style as well now so it all kinnda fits in well ;)

Going to have updates on this today likes.. Target windows hotbar etc

OK, a couple of stupid questions here.

1. What does alt-c originally do in default keys? I have remapped almost all my keys.

2. The stats, the frame and the blue background are all transparent untill after I mouse over them. I try to adjust the window settings but they show that they should be showing at all times. Help!

Alt c is the compass.

Second question laffs will say read the help file but, Im helpful! Just adjust the properties of the window, you will find by default its set to transparent, and when you mouse over it, its not. So change background to full on normal and mouseover, and jobs a goodun!

Erm Alt c might be the clock, its one or the other!

Yeh alt+c is the compass but that also triggers my clock... As before the past few updates the clock was never set to load/show by SoE so it had to be forced by another window that was...

Target windows working oks for you lot?
You lot like the new exp window?

Target window is fab!

Totally forgot to change to the old exp window at first too, put up with that new one for 30 mins, logged out, got old one again! Hehe, just looks too busy to me, other one, the older one, is fab tho.

Ty

Pleased you like the newish target windows.. Alough it dont look like it I spent along time on getting them to work and look as intended :p

As for the exp window.. I still like my old one as well but wanted to try somthing with more clear info so to speak and dont think I have it quite right as yet.. Still pondering over that one a bit..

Also I am going to reduce the size of the icons in the effects window since it just wont play ball and resize when its surposed to to show the extra effects... Now thats down to how SoE numbers effects when they is cast..

EG effect 1 is not always 1 if you cast it say 5 times in same zone and nothing else it will become effect 5 but will be in slot one if you dont have anyother effects on you.. etc etc .... Soon as you zone and recast it will become effect 1 again..


There is alot more to it than that but basicly thats about it ... Hence I can set a trigger for effect 24 to automaticly resize the damn window as effect 24 could be only in slot 4 therefore it thinks the window dont need a resize as its big enough /sigh

Anyways I'm reducing icon sizes in there... And will place the old one in the alt folder.. Just in case they too small for you Madhog my friend ;)

P.s... Madhog, What would be what you would consider to be an ideal EXP window set-up based on either the 2 versions we have or somthing else??

Erm seriously, I love the alt exp window, its got everything on it I need to see, its easy to click between the adventure, crafting and guild exp. Its fab.

Only things I really dislike are the start button element, I REALLY dont see why the map and the socials icons are on it, I hit my mouse side button for map or press M, and press O for socials. If they were removed and the entire element sized horizontally so it matched the exp window, would be fab for me. I seem to remember when you did a horizontal one tho, the actual EQ button went all strange.

Other thing is, bags. I love the style of my bags but am finding now that with large bags, and 24 slot boxes in the bank, my screen is full when I got em all opened.

Minor niggles tho, nothing that bothers me, rest of it I love.

Good work my stroppy friend! :D

Stroppy lmao

Oks Madhog take a look at this startbutton then m8 pls ;)
