Ok nm i'm obvisouly an idiot.. if debt returned as 0% then we wouldn't need to do this.. Gah chalk it up to a long day at work.

There is no 0% debt it would be -50..

50 exp -50 debt
50+ -50 = 0
0 - 50 = -50

experience debt is -144 and exp is 144%
144 + -144 = 0 - 144 = -144

Experience debt is 4 and exp is 144%
144 + 4 = 148 - 144 = 4

Edit: Never mind you posted while I was going over the math :)

bleh
 

Ok so the EQ2.INI file belongs in the ui folder... but direction say to put in main eq2 folder....


ok so say i do a fresh download...i renaME images_fantasy_grey to just images..then i copy and paste the eq2.ini file into a blank text file and place it in main eq2 directory.renaming it "tabletsII"...log into game and voila ui appears...but this isnt whats happening

I did what you suggested deleted all tablets files from eq2 folder and started fresh but same results......your directions are clear but...i guess im not seeing or doing something correctly.

example
 

cl_ui_skinname TabletsII
cl_ui_subdir UI/

just an example...i didnt rename this to grey because im using its default name "tabletsII"

the EQ2.INI belongs in /program files/sony/everquest2
and should contain just these 2 lines
cl_ui_skinname TabletsII
cl_ui_subdir UI/

Tablets II interface files (The files in the zip) belong in the /program files/sony/everquest2/UI/TabletsII folder..

edit: If you put the files in a folder named Grey under the UI folder the INI would look like this:
cl_ui_skinname Grey
cl_ui_subdir UI/

Edit2: you're changing the name of the EQ2.ini to tablets? Don't do that it needs to be EQ2.ini

Yup
 

did exactly what you just said on this board and in your read me file...and the ui doesnt load when i log into game...even deleted everything for a 3rd time and re-did it making sure my typing was correct and all files are in correct places.....

Don't know how to help ya Sean works for me and I can't see what you're doing wrong either.. Sorry :p

resolution
 

is this designed for a specific resolution..i use 1024x768

Nope.. That's the same resolution I use.. Should work in any resolution though..

Are you changing the name or not?

nope
 

No sir... did what your directions say to do...

i see where i misled readers in my post...but no its named EQ2.INI


ok clarify

EQ2.INI or
EQ2.ini

hmm, Well I have no more ideas why it's not working then.. I wish there was a UIError log like in EQ1.. Sorry I couldn't be more help..

edit: Either one of those should be fine

still nothing
 

Bah.....such a wonderful ui too


cant get it to load...cant find what im doing wrong.followed directions to the letter...so now ill wig out and do my own fixes lol...ill toy around with it and see what if anything i can learn Hah !! thanx for trying aga. and T..i appreciate it...ya know ive had a beef with sony since eq2 was released.
if i developed a product and refined it over a course of 5 years time..when i decided to develop a new world based upon my old works i would stay with what works like /loadskin and many other commands...but hey im just a user of the technology that goes into a game as vast as EQ and EQ2....


anyway talyns..ill try another ui one ive been messing with is fantasy grey ill go to the new "grey" since v3 worked before.....

well inside my ui folder, I have a text file called 'ui' and it has a log of errors:

It was from a bit ago, and I don't think it has updated since the first time I noticed it. But, I don't think I've had any errors since then, so I wouldn't know :p

Sean:
Try the file I attached.. But instead of the normal install directions..

Unzip to a folder on your desktop..

Open Folder.. It should contain 2 things a "UI" Folder and an "Eq2.ini".. (if it only contains a folder open that folder)

hit ctrl-a to select all.. ctrl-c to copy..

open your Main EQ2 folder and hit ctrl-v.. Over write all if it ask..

Load EQ and see if it works

I believe that's from UIBuilder..

There's also a UI.log in the main EQ2 folder but sadly it's normally empty for me..

files
 

ok here is location of eq2.ini file

C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II

and here is location of the UI

C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI


i tried removing(but not deleting) the other image files.

Renamed "fantasy_grey_images" to "Images"


Logged into eq2 and my main chat box is gone but when i hit enter it magically re-appears (might be caused by me using the /loadui earlier i keep hoping sony has fixed that......but nope)

So you got it working??

Also, make sure your chat windows opacity isn't set to 0.. that would make it disappear when nothing is in it and you're not typing in it..

regular:
http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/a...tachmentid=599
compressed:
http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/a...tachmentid=600

Moved this so people see it.. Added a whole page of messages after it already :p

Bah! I was so hung up on OnShow with Visible="false" not working in my chat window that I didn't think to try it in the 2/3 bag window. Ye beat me again!

Working
 

yeah T it works...it was my eq2.ini file i used a text document for it...you had it as a config file with the little yellow gear icon on it hah......thanx bro looks wondderful

Talyns the chat windows scroll fine now. Guess I just had the wrong version. Sorry about that.

Auto Sizing Bag - Vertical (Default) Layout

Talyns I loved your auto sizing bag, as it eliminated all the horrible kludges we had to do to make them size right, and the auto sizing makes it PERFECT everytime. Only downside was that I personally prefer the game's default vertical arrangement of 4 cells per row, expanding downward. I like this because I arrange my bags verticalally one on top of the other and Ilike them to be the same width. To each his own thats what makes UI mods so nice. We can all have it our way :)

So anyway I took Talyns awesome window, learned from it, hacked it up, and made essentially the same window only it auto sizes verticaly in the default manner.

Piccy and file attached.

EDIT: Oh to clarify this is the compressed /23rds bag window. Obviously the full size one doesn't need this mod since the game auto sizes it properly anyway. Just needed this for the 2/3rds one because the game doesn't size it right.

Fonts...
 

I use the TablettsII-Interface but the fonts are the old ones from the dafault EQ2-Settings.

What is my mistake or what do I have to do to see the changed fonts?

I just started using your UI a few days ago and really love it. :nana:

I guess I still don't understand the experience debt thing though... I don't think I have any, but the display shows 87.4 XP and -87 debt.

Attaching screenprint for you to peruse...

Zinny - Level 24 Enchanter - Guk/Freeport

You don't have any debt. If you have no debt it shows the same as your actual exp, only negative. If you had debt it would be like 5%, or 28% etc.

Current zone?
 

Is there a way to display what zone I'm currently in? Original screenprint from Talyn showed a small window with "Antonica" in it that I thought might be what I'm looking for.

Thanks!!! :confused:

I really didn't change any fonts.. Just on the Titlebars I think..

StatBars:
*To open them you have to type or macro (case-sensitive and no quote marks):
"/show_window MainHUD.StatBar" for Top Stat Bar
"/show_window MainHUD.StatBar2" for Bottom Stat Bar
"/show_window MainHUD.ZoneLoc" for Zone Name Window

*To Move them grab the right or left edge..
*To change width of statbar for higher resolutions.. Open the Statbars folder in the main Tablets II folder.. Choose resolution and open that folder (ie 1280)..Copy the contents of that folder to your main TabletsII folder..

Here's a bag window that resizes correctly, has multiple layouts (4x5,10x2,2x10), and has a minimze button.. Sorry no picture..

Edit: Compact Version done.. I attached it here..

Bah sure you do this AFTER I make my own.

Lol... :p

I figured I would give the people choices.. Too bad none of the layouts save when you log out..

Slight update to my Flexible hotkeys. Made them so that the Bak selector defaults to HIDDEN. That way everytime you start the game up fresh you dont have to go through and hide them all. Too bad it doesn't save your last state.

Yeah for this reason alone I think i'll continue to use my own because its the layout I want all the time. I wont have to go through all my bags every startup and set the layout. That could get tedius :(

I'm starting to forsee the future need of a program that end users can use to select how all these flexible things default.

Both the multiple layout bags default to 4x5 layout :)

BTW.. I attached the compressed version with the other version...

Masterpiece!

However, I have found "Escape" key does not close the map window.
I have tried to use "default" UI or other "Complete" set UI, they dont have this problem.

Anyway, Talyns great job! :p

I did that purposely.. Now the map window won't close when clearing your target.. Closing bags.. Etc..

I keep my map window at 1/3 size.. And open most of the time..

Hello :)

The Bag mod dosen't seems to work on my UI, in fact I can only see 4 slots of my bags even if my bags are 6 or 8 slots, any clue about this ?

Hmm No Idea.. Works for me.. What did you do to it to make it work in that skin?
