Seagoat,

Your target rings are something to be very proud of, awesome work. Any chance of getting a target ring for a guild named Knights of the Shadow Dragon (Crushbone server)? I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with if you have time to do so.

Also, I have not seen it yet but do you have any plans of releasing your UI mods as a complete set? Sorry if I missed it but I would switch over to it if one were released.

Best wishes,
Dannoc

jhckyman, emeralddawn, and Dannoc: Sorry I'm a bit slow in replying (especially to jhckyman!). I'll see what I can do. :)

Dannoc, when you have time, please give me some more details! What is your guild's heraldry/colors/theme? (You can send me a mock-up of your guild cloak by using the Cloak Designer link in my sig.) Thanks in advance! ;)

Seagoat,

Sorry about that, the cloak design we have is not too bad but I thought there was not enough color to work with. Here is a link to what we are using atm. http://eq2gallery.com/cloak/?id=08010700010103
If you feel the need to modify anything to make the sig "pop" feel free. Our overall guild mentality is honor and respect as well as adventuring and helping friends.

Dannoc

Dannoc: No worries! I can work with any color -- even shades of grey and black :) -- and I like to incorporate the guild emblem (and sometimes the border and/or pattern) if I can.

Inventory mod
 

If you can give me the name of the UI mod that does this, I can poke around inside and see how they achieved it, then determine whether or not it's possible and/or a good idea to add that functionality. :)

Sure thing. :) Just attach the XML file (or a zipped version) to an email addressed to angela @ lunaclick . net -- removing the spaces, of course.

Ok, after taking a look at the file you sent me via email and tinkering with my Inventory mod, it looks like this is the situation...

=====

The technical stuff:

If I put a second "auto-bag" element in the paperdoll area, you will no longer be able to mouse-grab the paperdoll and rotate it. Additionally, any subsequent auto-bag elements are rendered useless (and removing them would prompt a rearrangement of the elements in the bottom portion of the window to make better use of the space).

I tried adding the "DragAccepts" attribute with the value "icon" to the paperdoll and leaving the original auto-bag element in place, but that alone won't allow the paperdoll to accept drag-and-drop items. Looks like the auto-bag function is tied to the element named "AutoInventory" exclusively. Changing the new auto-bag element to include the "Type" element with the value "PaperDoll" doesn't work either.

=====

In a nutshell:

"AutoInventory" can't look like a paperdoll, and "PaperDoll" can't act like an auto-bag. Overlaying the two results in one or the other becoming non-functional, depending on which element is on top.

=====

It's a good idea, and it would be something I'd love to implement, but because of the way the various elements behave and receive their information from the game server, it's not something I'll be adding. I'm just not prepared to lose the ability to twirl my paperdoll, especially after having recently added in the vertical-position and zoom controls. :)

I'd be THRILLED if another modder could prove me wrong, though, and suggest a way to have our proverbial cake and eat it too.

Of course I could never resist that. :)

It should work if you move the paperdoll out of the GeneralPage. You'll still get the wrong mouse cursor on the paperdoll but you will be able to control it (as long as it's "below" the GeneralPage and the GeneralPage has AbsorbsInput=false). If that alone doesn't do it I'll double check but I know it can be done.

LOL Thanks, gm9! ;) I'll give it a shot and see what happens...

new target ring please :)
 

Hi seagoat! Ive moved guilds since the last ring you made me, which everyone really loved! i was hoping you could make me one for the new guild. Guild name is maelstrom, so im looking for some sort of a tempest/hurricane thing maybe, or perhaps a void tempest :p heck, itd even spin like a hurricane

Seagoat..Been away for awhile..long time infact..but was wondering what came of the targeting ring? ( pirate ship with a skull in the forfront)

It's still sitting here on my hard drive, waiting for a chance to come along so I can pick up work on it again. ;) Been busy with RL work -- gotta pay those bills -- and the graphics-related hobbies are usually the first to fall by the wayside.

ok just curious i run EQ2 with the black bars im going to assume you dont (the top/ bottom making the screen smaller since its covered by crap anyway and improves fps of wasted space) anyway i downloaded the XP bar ui mod, and when placed upon the black bar it goes invisible till moused over, but works fine on the regular screen. any thought as to why it does that on the black sections, but not game area?

Check out the bug tracker on my portal. :)
http://seagoat.eq2interface.com/port...wbug&bugid=179

disable the option to hide window frames in the letterbox area (it's somewhere in options)

ok will do if GM's idea doesnt work

ill look around so far havent seen anything, but there are a ton of options so it will probably take a while to find it

Sorry for the DP, but this is a separate Idea. Seagoat I dont know if you are still bogged down, but there is a UI mod i have used forever, and with the addition of the last GU where they added achievements it broke it.
http://www.eq2interface.com/download...JournalUI.html
A journal with new tabs on it allowing you to access in game info about writs, HQ's etc. Im curious of there is something you may be able to do with this to allow it to work again, and add your personal touch of greatness :). Anyway I have no issues helping to find updated information in each of the sections, and new HQ's etc as they come out, but my self I have no clue how to mess with UI/mod. Just an idea thanks.

What GM said is what's posted in the bug tracker on my portal. ;D

I've actually got a partially modded journal file that I've been using for a while. Been busy with work and hospital stays, so it hasn't been fully tweaked or released for public consumption. Once I have the time to sit down and redo the mod, I'll release an update. :) Meanwhile, I'm attaching the file as it stands now in case you or anyone else would like to use it.

Cool ill take a look at it :)

Just a note to remind everyone: I don't think my quest journal mod (any incarnation) is compatible with GU56. When I get the time and can add in the Storyline section, I'll post an update. :)

In other news, my Cloak Designer is now open for guild heraldry submissions. :nana:

Please head over and register for a free account, then submit yours to be one of the first guilds in the database!

Here's a fix for my Experience mod that will keep it working with the new UI changes. I have a few more bits I want to throw in there before I put out an official update, but this should tide you guys over until then. :)

I've finally got an update to my XP bars posted! It includes a slight name change to Seagoat's Modular Experience Bars, a reworking of the mod to reflect the new code structure, and the addition of the EQ2 game menu and the SC Marketplace buttons.

Enjoy! :)

My next project will be redoing my Inventory and Inspect Player mods (from scratch, ugh). Stay tuned!

Love it, and thanks!

Anychance of a Carolina Hurricane target ring? :)
Would be awesome for my wife and I :)

Compass
 

Hi! installed your compass for EQ2 & really do appreciate it. For some reason, it is invisible until I type in the command
/show_window MainHUD.Compass
then it appears. But I have to do that every time I log in. The clock is visible from login, and once the compass is visible, mousing over the new clock will snap it in place next to the compass.

Where do I change what so this happens automatically, in particular the show compass? I am not afraid to edit XML although I do not know how to program it.

Thanks!

Hmm. I'm not sure of any specific reason why this would happen; I haven't had any problems like that. :(

You can try right-clicking on the compass and selecting "Window Settings." Click the "Default Location" button...you'll have to reposition the compass, but it may help with your problem.

You can also try opening your UI settings file (named [Server]_[Character]_eq2_uisettings.xml in the EverQuest II game directory) in a text editor and making sure the following lines appear in some fashion, under the MainHUD module:
(The key bit is visible="true")

Let me know if either of these help! :)

The "visible=true" was missing. Adding it to the compass line fixed the visibility at login. Odd that the clock doesn't care (it is missing there too).
Thank you! I never would have figured that out.

The clock popping into place is minor - that is just a wave of the hand each time - no typing required! LOL I'll look over the location settings later when I have time.

Thanks again... That compass is exactly what I wanted!

Glad I could help, and super glad you like it! ;D

*Sneaks In*
 

Well, hey guys :)

It's been a looong time, but I'm getting back into mods again. I need to document and package the newest version of my XP bars, but I wanted to check for suggestions first!

Here's the piece as it stands now:


The bars are still modular and can be hidden and shifted pretty much however you like.

The buttons on either side are controlled with the maximize/minimize option when right-clicking on the window. We have the two big ones that appear on the default XP bar (EQ2 menu and Marketplace), plus 4 additional buttons:

• Open Broker
• Open Mailbox
• Summon Mercenary
• Toggle Mount

I initially wanted to add buttons for summoning all the things (familiars, personae, warders, pets...), but realized that would get out of control pretty quickly.


So is there anything you feel NEEDS to be added before I submit an updated version?

Hi Seagoat, welcome back! The only thing I see missing is the Tithe XP bar and the XP vial counter. Not necessarily needs but some might want one or both.

Thanks!!

The Tithe bar is there in this latest version -- in the middle, the white one. :D You can click the number of Tithe points at the left end of the bar to open the Tithe window, too.

The XP vials, I'm not sure about. Is there another mod out there that shows them? I'll poke around and see if it's feasible. :)

Oops my bad on the Tithe bar, should pay more attention. Maybe it's the Ascension XP bar I'm thinking of. Anyway, the green XP vial can be seen on the left end of the default XP bar. The large green gem fills up in 25% increments and the icon shows how many vials you have available. There is also a tooltip and a right-click context menu for controlling the "siphoning" of XP and purchasing/redeeming.

Ah, thanks for that. Ascension XP isn't something I've even thought of. I've just qualified for AXP on my main, so I'll look into that as well.

I'll have to poke around the default XP bar and see what I can do with the XP vial.
