It just needs to be resized and have a scrollbar added, like in the default.

If I have time today I'll try and look at that.

Strange, I don't even have that file in the directory at all...

OH! Here it is.. it's called eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml :)

... and it worked! w00h00!

I bow to your greatness :)

Need a little help
 

Hi Zonx, I am loving your UI but I have two small problems:

1 - everytime I press Head on the Persona Window, the client crashes and I go back to the desktop.

2 - I accidentaly removed (don´t know how) the personabar. How do I make it appear again? I tried Alt P but it doesn't do the trick.

Thanks for the help.

Agaeme

Nope still pops up. It is annoying and I dont know anything about how to fix it. hope someone can.

No chat box at character login
 

At one point, I accidently clicked the X on the chat box window while playing on one of my toons. Shortly after that, I had to log to another toon for some guild maintenance. When I went back to the first toon and logged in, there was no chat window until I pressed ENTER.

I haven't figured out how to make it so that chat window is present at login. I end up missing messages from guildmates and such until I press ENTER. Anyone know how to reset that window to default as present at login?

Thanks in advance!

I had made a typo... did you rename simple_eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml to eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml or did you follow exactly as I had typed it? I had left out a "main" before chat.

1 - Is a known bug with some video cards and such it seems. It appears that they are not capable of properly resizing the new persona window (I know mine crashes too -- just don't click it).

2 - I think therse a little button for it either on the persona window or inventory window (don't use it, so not 100% sure).

Yes I tried it both ways actually. Still comes up :(

Please read the Fetish FAQ befor posting questions. It covers stuff like chat window stealthing, Head button and showing the Personabar.

Edit: My apologise... the FAQ instructions for disabeling chat input stealthing were in error and have been corrected.

BrantBear, it sounds like you have a bugged server_character_settings.ini file. This used to be a very common problem on SOE's end that usually requires trashing your existing settings file and redoing your window layout for that toon. The symptoms are windows (chat in particular) that refuse to save possition and/or reapear on login.

Sometimes you can force the window to be updated by doing the following...

1) Manually move the window it in game
2) Wait 2 min for the client to save your settings
3) Close the window if you want it gone
4) Wait another 2 min
5) Try relogging. If it reappears, you probably need to trash your settings file.

Writ Timer covering up item info
 

I saw several earlier posts about the timer on craft writs covering up the first line in the quest helper window, but nothing regarding how to solve it. I have to open my journal to find out what I'm making instead of being able to use the quest helper. I tried resizing the window but it didn't make any difference. Anyone have a suggestion for fixing it?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the screens shots, they do help.

I don't see any differences in the default code and mine that would account for the problem. Please do the following...

1) Rename eq2ui_journal_active.xml in your Fetish directory to bk_eq2ui_journal_active.xml (to enable the default file).

2) Post a screenshot of the default rush work order display.

Persona Bar
 

I there a way to have just the persona bar show up in my UI. I really like that feature, and am customizing my own UI from different parts

Nevermind, I found the single element. However that didn't work, so my question still stands.

Is that what you're referring to in the FAQ for the chat problem? Yes, it'll keep the input from being overlapped, but if you use the opacity slider to hide the titlebar, it also hides any tabs you have in that window. Overwriting the eq2_mainhud_mainchat file with _simple_eq2_mainhud_mainchat works, but of course removes the new 'bells and whistles' SOE put on the chat windows.

Missing elements
 

I've got 2 problems right now, 1 minor and ignoreable, other major.

On the end of my hotbars (I keep 5 open) the up/down arrows for moving to other bars are missing. I've just got black squares, although they work fine.

The other problem is much worse. My collections tab in my quest journal shows me the icon squares of the items in the collections I have active, but no names at all. Just a black background.

I've reinstalled the journal files, and the Fetish style files, etc. I've got no idea how to fix this problem.

Help of any kind would be most appreciated. :)

Thanks

Ertoocs, personally I don't feel the need to see tabs except on mouseover when I'm changing tabs. If other folks think they should always be shown, I could make that happen in my standard window. So far there hasn't been any big outcry to change it ;)

Sablerose, SOE is now providing an option to show/hide the hotkey spinner as a right-click option. I think the new default is to hide the spinner, but your windows were saved with the old size. Set the spinner how you want it and the window should resize to fit.

As noted in the FAQ, black windows/backgrounds generally indicate a graphics file is missing from the images directory.

Missing Elements
 

Thanks for the quick reply, Zonx.

I checked the FAQ, and went back for some retesting. I did a complete UI reinstall, which is a large project, as I have many 1-window extras in my UI.
I was double-checking every overwrite, as I went. I got to the end, and still had the same errors, both of them. :confused:

Then I decided to check in-game after each section, and started with the basics. I renamed the Fetish folder, made a new one with diff name. I changed the eq2.ini to match that name. Then I extracted the Fetish 7.5 into it. No errors. I extracted the Fetish Nightfall Goth theme. And bingo, both errors showed up. :(

So, is there, or will there be, an update to the Goth 4.7? I love that look, and don't particularly like the purple.

Thanks for the help.

Had do delete and start over but it worked. Thank you very much

I have always thought it was suppose to be like that - I mean the timer covering up the top writ item. Anyways I made a couple of screenshots, one of the Fetish journal and one of the default

Okay, going to try to attach them. Uploading according to site instructions but Bah I cannot see them when I hit the preview button. Will post anyways and hope.

Yep, Themes deffinetly need an update. They are missing a handfull of needed styles. I hope to get to that soonish.

If you're feeling ambitious, you could do a side-by-side compare of the _FetishStyles.xml files from Nightfall and Goth to find which objects are missing.

Thanks for posting these, I hadn't had time to do updated screenshots yet. Glad I'm not the only one seeing this still!

auto assist off
 

how do I turn off the auto assist feature in this UI, I'm a healer and it's not good for me

The easiest thing to do would be to just avoid clicking the player's name. Any other spot in the group window will target the plaer normally.

The harder solution is to open the eq2ui_mainhud_group.xml in Notepad and manually delete the button objects named assist.

THANKS so much
 

thanks !!!!!!!!

Love this Ui thanks for taking the time to make mine and others game that much better

One thing i have seen that i would like very much is night vision maybe you could add it to the eq bar where you have the raid , good qquality bars i seen this on another ui and boy does it help when you enter a cave at night time

thanks again

Goth Theme update
 

Okay Zonx. I did the side-by-sde of the _FetishStyles.xml files from the 7.5 zip and the Goth zip.

Here is the updated Goth styles file. I'd appreciate it if you could test it, as I have little- to no-knowledge of exactly how these files work. :)

If I need to update anything else to get my favorite color look back in my favorite UI, please let me know?

Thanks

Tracking Window
 

Is there a way to keep the scrollbars and the dots and such in the tracking window?

HP bug?
 

Anyone else having a problem with everyone else showing 10000 hp in white when they inspect someone?

Yes.

I've uploaded a patch for that. Click on the button underneath my name to find that and correct that (and a couple other) bugs in the inspect window. Just download it and unzip the file into your fetish folder.

EDIT: Here's a link directly to it, to make it easier: http://www.eq2interface.com/download...php?s=&id=4384

Just wanted to say I love this UI!! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this.

One question I have though. Is it possible to somehow put a follow botton on the group window for each group member? I have seen other group windows that have this but I really want to keep your group window. Would make it much easier for my priest to follow the tank if I didn't have to right click on the player and select follow all the time.

Thanks again

I can no longer see what I type in chat after I enter it,
if I use a macro it shows.

any ideas on how to get it back?

You have to use the full commands: /gu or whatever. It's a bug on SOE's side, but for now you can't use the "auto-switch" or default channel bit for now, you have to put /<whatever> <message>.

Thanks again Lordebon

Death and Revival
 

Currently every time I die I have to load the default UI then issues the /showdeathdialog command to be able to revive. Then, to get the Fetish UI back I need to log out of the game, replace the character UI file with a backup that I've made, then log back into the game. I can still be resurrected by a priest without going through this process, just when I need to revive. Issuing the /showdeathdialog command in Fetish does not work. Anyone else having this problem when they die? Probably not, because I'm sure I'm the only one who dies this much. Any feedback would be a great help.

I've died and the death window shows up fine for me.

If you're using just the normal fetish UI, try re-copying eq2ui_mainhud_death.xml from the zip file to your directory. Also check eq2ui_mainhud.xml to make sure it has the include line for that file.

Quest Helper window is gone
 

Great UI, awesome job on it. I've used this UI for quite a while and haven't had many problems. The one I've run into now is that my mini-quest window that sits in the top right corner is flat out gone. I've forced all windows on screen, toggled the hotkey for it, etc. Its not invisible, its just not there or anywhere. I was thinking about finding the xml file for it and deleting it to have it revert to default, but I am unable to locate which xml file it is...

Any tips on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Gonna FAQ this one...

When switching from other UIs to Fetish, occasionally one or more windows previously saved to a non-default location may wind up off screen. This is due to differences in default location settings between the UIs.

To resolve the problem...
1) Rename your server_character_settings.ini file for the affected toon(s) to something like default_server_character_settings.ini.

2) Log in to the toon. You will be asked if you wish to copy settings from an another file. At this point you can try selecting your default settings file.

If the window is still missing, you'll need to use Game Options to restore all windows to their default locations, then rearange everything as you want it.

To avoid the problem, always keep separate server_character_settings.ini files for each UI you'll be using, including the default UI. For example, if your toon's name is "MyToon" played on the "Blackburrow" server and you want settings for both Fetish and Default, you'd have something like the following...

default_blackburrow_mytoon_settings.ini
fetish_blackburrow_mytoon_settings.ini
blackburrow_mytoon_settings.ini

When using the Fetish UI, blackburrow_mytoon_settings.ini would be a copy of fetish_blackburrow_mytoon_settings.ini. When using the Default UI, it would be a copy of that file.

bagstrip
 

Hi,

I have tried everything, but I can not seem to get this to work at all. I've downlaoded your ui and copied all files to the ui I'm using as I like this bagstrip. However I can not seem to get it to work. I keep getting the message, to pls update my ui or load the defaut ui as it is not compatible.

Is it possible you could look at it and see what I need to do. If not I can understand.

Thanks :)

I have not yet updated any FetishPieces for LU29. The Inventory window for that piece is out of date.

You might want to download FetishNightfall 7.5 and extract just the eq2ui_inventory_inventory.xml from that ZIP. Some text colors will need to be eddited if the blue used in Nightfall doesn't go well with your set. Copy the colors from the piece you have and replace those in the Nightfall version.

Hey Zonx.. is there a way to make the bag size the default for eq2, while still having your skin color, and when tracking, is there a way to keep the target color dots and the search bar, and scroll bar visible all the time, not just on mouseover?
